A little game to play [OPEN] [NETWORK]

[angel_of_mercy]

 This is something the Futaba of my world came up with, before I became an Angel; Look up the word 'Florida Man' plus the date of your birthday, and see what comes up.

I've given to learn that 'Florida Man' became a subject of fascination for many Children of God, on account of the...rather chaotic reasons they get arrested. Gogo's Birthday is June 2nd, like most Akechis, but for me, the date of my ascension is a birth date all it's own. So, if I were to have a birthday, it'd be Christmas Eve. The day Yaldabaoth changed me forever...

One of the first things that came up for this was a man being arrested for crashing his car. Sounds completely ordinary, right? Seems like they found him on a construction site, making angel shapes in the dirt.

...This feels like an intentional joke on me by the Universe...

I wonder if something is in the water for these Children of God...

[willowandoak]

maybe
maybe thats why he didnt take a real boat. closer to the poisoned water

[ Does she always call people that? Fuck. ]

[angel_of_mercy]

Quite a glib response, if I do say so myself. I appreciate it, however.

That said, I don't think we've been introduced. Who are you?

[willowandoak]

im ren
if u read the board u saw me listed as drake
sorry i didnt say hi when u showed up i was busy with smth

[angel_of_mercy]

It is a pleasure to speak with you, Drake.

I'm Zadkiel, Angel of Mercy and Forgiveness. But I was also once the Daughter of Eve known as Gogo Akechi. Feel free to refer to me as the former, as I'm aware of another version of me around here. But both names are true of me.

And don't feel bad about that. I also had my own things to deal with here, as well.

zadkiel then
kinda long tbh
zad?

[angel_of_mercy]

Zad...

You know what, I think I like that. My angelic name is terribly formal, after all~

I do have rather...complicated feelings about my name. It, like my divinity and purview, was forced unto me by a god who thought it was...amusing.

[willowandoak]

ya i didnt want to say it but i dont rly think mercy and forgiveness when i think of akechis

People in other US states are just as weird (source: lived in New York until I was 9). Florida's just the one that makes the police blotter public record more or less immediately.

[angel_of_mercy]

The Children of God there seem to take this reputation in stride, for what it's worth. I hear they even have an event called the Florida Man Games. Challenges are based on real news articles.

[externalcombustion]

...Yeah, that sounds like typical Florida.
