[SO, she got that whole sex education thing done and dusted. Now she's trying to figure out the device a bit more so at first it's audio.]

Okay so it's like this, and oh!

[Visuals now! Showing anyone who is watching this a woman who is. Well. Blue, literally she's the colour blue. She mutters under her breath something that sounds like "Oh like the video call" before turning her full attention to the device.

Now to ask an important question, especially after what things she has seen so far.]

... Is sex really that important here?

Well, they're kind of Earth's dominant species, aren't they? Besides, it comes with the job.

[riptidequeen]

Dominant species that can communicate with other races, yes. And job?

[whateternityis]

They're the ones the place was made for. Back home, anyway. [If the whole thing really was left up to chance and/or spearheaded by different divine beings in other worlds, Crowley obviously can't speak to that.]

In theory, I'm there to bait them into giving in to their worse impulses. In practice, humans come up with worse things than I ever could, nine times in ten.

[riptidequeen]

Hm. That's a strange job to do, and most of the humans I've met are actually pretty nice.

[Beach City, the city of people so used to weird-ass Gem shit.]

[whateternityis]

Yeah, they're also better than most angels I could mention. Half the time it's the same bloody humans doing both.

[riptidequeen]

[One thing in there got Lapis to tilt her head quizzically.]

What's an angel?

[whateternityis]

Celestial entities. Usually they call themselves some manner of guardian, but I only know one who's any good at it. Originally, I think God just wanted some extra hands for putting the universe together, and most of 'em have been taking their best guess at what to do next ever since.

[riptidequeen]

[Celestial... Oh so aliens, like her. She gets it.]

I think I get it, kind of.

[Not really, because what is religion.]
