[ The feed, as it is wont to do, flickers on, showing a chipper boy of 13, blue eyes and messy brown hair and--is that a golden laurel wreath on his head? And is he wearing a tunic? And are those wings visible behind him? ]

Hey everyone! My name's Pit. I'm new here! Thought I'd just say hi to all my new neighbors. It's nice to meet you, whoever you are!

[He did mean the clothing too, but the angel wings are what's concerning him the most.]

... You're an angel, then??

Yeah. Never met an angel before, have you?

[... he's not sure whether or not he should laugh or cry at the sheer irony of that question. Aziraphale settles for pinching the bridge of his nose.]

Not exactly... It's only... you look rather young to be an angel, not to mention your attire is... out of the ordinary.

I look young to be an angel?

[ There was an age limit on angels now? He knows he is comparatively young to other angels, but, uh. Humans would think he's positively ancient! Or getting there, at least. ]

Err, forgive me, I don't mean to be insensitive... [He's only seriously confused.] I'm only wondering why, exactly, you've chosen the body of a child... and clothing that's been outdated for almost two millennium?

[He himself used to wear clothing like that, of course....... six thousand years ago. And Crowley wanted to insist that his fashion sense was outdated.]

[ blink, blink, blink ]

That's just how I look. I'm 13 in angel years!

[He's blinking back...]

Angel years?? What, you can't mean like dog years, can you?? [This conversation was rapidly turning silly...] How old are you then? In human years.

...

Fifty.

... Excuse me? [He has absolutely no idea what you said...]

[ He says a bit louder: ]

Fifty.

[He leans in closer to the communicator.. he thinks he caught part of that?]

Five hundred??

...fifty!

[ Damn he's not THAT old! ]

[F-five hundred isn't that old though! Aziraphale's expression looks rather shocked though, because fifty...

To not even be a century old, this had to be the youngest angel Aziraphale's ever met--]

Goodness, that is incredibly young! [In which case, this angel posed absolutely no threat to him, and he therefore had nothing to hide.]

I'm sorry, let me introduce myself. My name's Aziraphale-- I'm a principality myself, which is why I was surprised to see another angel here.

Wait, you're an angel?

[ It took him a moment because he has no idea what "principality" means. ]

Yes, I'm an angel. I'm... trying to stay under the radar, however, which is why I probably don't look like it.

[That's okay, Aziraphale's used to that... he's also used to people making fun of him for calling himself a principality.]

But where are your wings?

Like I said, I'm trying to stay under the radar... not to mention they get in the way quite a lot, and I'm not usually in a hurry to fly anywhere... So they're hidden for now.

Stay under the radar? Are you in trouble with the Underworld Army?

[ pit not every universe has the underworld army GOSH ]

Underworld Army...? [That is by far the strangest name for Hell he has ever heard...]

Err, on the contrary, I'm actually in a bit of trouble with Upstairs, not Downstairs. Not to mention I'd rather not every human look at me and notice that there's an angel walking among them.

You're in trouble with your god?

[ Pit you are 13 not 5 stop asking obnoxious questions. ]

Err... I suppose I am? I'm not sure He's particularly mad at me... [Aziraphale wasn't even sure that He was capable of being angry, only perhaps sad at the worst.] The Seraphs, on the other hand, aren't very pleased with me... but they seem to be leaving me alone. I haven't received any missions or orders from them in about a year now, I'm assuming that I'm on temporary suspension...

Huh. I was in trouble with my goddess once, but she was being manipulated by an alien parasite.

..........

[There were so many things wrong with that statement he had no idea where to begin.]

E-excuse me?!

It's a long story.

It certainly sounds like one! [What's bothering him the most, though--]

You said Goddess... you're implying that there's more than one God and that you're working for a separate one than mine??
