Intro

For several years now, I've roamed tirelessly through the spiritual realms. In my travels I've met many angels, and demons. While conversating with some, I've battled others, and the experience has left many indellible marks in my memory. I've known for years that I was different, that everybody doesn't engage in this activity, but I must do what I was meant to do, regardless of what others may think.  While the images that have flown through my mind while deeply submerged in meditation are impossible to recreate for you, I can indeed repeat conversations. You may doubt that this is possible, you may laugh at the idea. But after reading this collection of interviews, you will no longer have doubts, there will be no more questions. Everything you were curious about will now be answered.  Set aside some time, unlock the strongholds of your beliefs, and step in to the world where angels interact with humans, and demons are around every corner. Don't be scared, for this book is a blessing, not a curse. After reading the following pages, your perspective upon the world will be different, but in a good way. You will see things that you did not see before, and lies that have kept you confused for years will fall away.

Welcome to.....The Angel Interviews!

Edward the Guardian


SHAY: When did you become a guardian?

EDWARD: Oh....so long ago that it doesn't really matter anymore.

SHAY: What took you into this line of work?

EDWARD: I always wanted to do it. There was never a time when I didn't want to help folks, you know, look over them.  My whole mindset from the beginning of the beginning was that if someone needed me, I would be there. I guess you could say I have a hero complex.

SHAY: So, how many folks have you looked after?

EDWARD: More than none, less than infinite. As things change, there are always opportunities.

SHAY: Opportunities?

EDWARD: Yeah, there's always someone in need of help.  And we never miss it....never.

SHAY: So what does a typical day consist of for you?

EDWARD: Movement, lots of movement. Things happen so fast in our world compared to yours. It’s almost as if there's no point in comparing the two. I can be in millions of places at once in your time.

SHAY: Could you give us an idea of what actions you perform during an "Earth day"?

EDWARD: Sure. Sometimes I'm creating a wave, a wave of water I mean. This wave might start 2,000 miles from the destination it’s meant to arrive at. And the whole point of the wave might be just to move a few grains of sand so that a small insect might find a grain of food that it would otherwise overlook.

SHAY: So what you're saying is that you do things differently than humans do?

EDWARD: Well, yeah, but not completely. You all work together to achieve a common goal, as do we.

SHAY: So what's your goal?
EDWARD: To fulfill the will of God.

SHAY: And you have no other goal but this?

EDWARD: None.

SHAY: I've always wondered about the will of God. Could you tell me about it in more detail?

EDWARD: It flows through me like blood flows through human veins. Without it I don't exist.

SHAY: Have you ever seen God?
EDWARD: Of course, I'm looking at Him right now.
SHAY: So angels are always looking at God.

EDWARD: Of course.

SHAY: Why?

EDWARD: We need to.
SHAY: Why?

EDWARD: I'm sorry, I can't answer that.
SHAY: Why not?

EDWARD: The answer to that question cannot be conveyed in words. Only through faith can the answer to that question be understood.

SHAY: That's fine, I'll move on. I've always thought that guardians are assigned to certain people, is that true?

EDWARD: Of course.

SHAY: Do you all only watch over one person?

EDWARD: Sometimes.

SHAY: But not all the time?

EDWARD: No. There can be teams.

SHAY: Teams of angels?

EDWARD: Of course.

SHAY: But if you guys are so powerful, why would more than one angel be required to look over any one person?

EDWARD: Different strengths. Some of us have skills that others don't.

SHAY: So angels are not omnipotent?
EDWARD: No, only God is omnipotent.

SHAY: What about Jesus?

EDWARD: If you ever interview Him, maybe you can ask Him.

SHAY: I'll remember that. So, what brought you here to be interviewed for this book?

EDWARD: Orders.

SHAY: Orders from God?

EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Wow, I'm flattered. Why did He ask this of you?

EDWARD: The usual reason.

SHAY: Which is?

EDWARD: Evolution of mankind.

SHAY: Wow, that's a pretty hefty statement. Quite a few religious folks don't believe in that. Why should they believe what you say?

EDWARD: It'll speak to them if they're meant to hear it.

SHAY: That's not much of an answer. Can you get a little deeper?

EDWARD: Nope. That's all that's required, so that's all I'll give.

SHAY: Okay, on to the next topic...

EDWARD: I'm sorry, there will be no more topics for me.

SHAY: You have to go?

EDWARD: Yes.

SHAY: Will I get to interview more of you?

EDWARD: Of course.

SHAY: Why?

EDWARD: That answer will be revealed to you in time.

Sasha the Communicator


SHAY: So, you're a communicator?

SASHA: Yes.

SHAY: What does that mean?

SASHA: I convey messages as needed.

SHAY: What would a typical message entail?

SASHA: About the same thing that one of your phone calls might.

SHAY: But just a little deeper than a phone call, right?

SASHA: Right.

SHAY: So why would an angel have to be a communicator?  Can't angels do that for themselves?

SASHA. Imagine an existence so intricate that the "molecules" in your world are actually individual universes of their own. When the distance between angels and other beings gets really serious, that's when folks like me are called in.

SHAY: Sort of like AT&T, huh?

SASHA: In a way.

SHAY: So what was the last message you conveyed?

SASHA: A report of destruction.

SHAY: Destruction, wow, that's pretty serious. Destruction of what?

SASHA: You wouldn't understand.

SHAY: Try me.

SASHA: One being was under the impression that the law didn't apply to him. He went farther than he was supposed to go, so drastic measures had to be taken.

SHAY: What do you mean, "drastic measures"?

SASHA: A team had to be called in.

SHAY: Like a SWAT team?

SASHA: Something along those lines, yes.

SHAY: And what did the SWAT team do?

SASHA: I don't know, I just passed along the message.

SHAY: Who did you pass the message to?

SASHA: The leader of the team.

SHAY: Who is?

SASHA: The leader of the team.

SHAY: Okay, on to the next topic. How old are you?

SASHA: Too old.

SHAY: Why do you say that?

SASHA: I'm ready for something different. Being a communicator is beginning to wear on me.

SHAY: Why? It sounds like a pretty cush job.

SASHA: It can be, but consider that last message that I sent.  Do you understand what happened to that being?

SHAY: I get your drift. The wrath of God isn't always pretty, huh?

SASHA: You got it.

SHAY: So how many communicators are there?

SASHA: More than you can describe with any of your counting devices. The closest word would be infinite, but that is not an accurate description.
SHAY: Enough to handle the job, huh?

SASHA: Basically.

SHAY: So over the years what parts of the job have you enjoyed?

SASHA: The perks, of course.

SHAY: Ah yes, I would assume that being an angel must have some. So why did you end up coming to this interview?

SASHA: For the same reason as the rest.

SHAY: Well, thank you, it’s been a pleasure!

Blezzazel the Destroyer


SHAY: I see that you're a destroyer. What do destroyers do?

BLEZZAZEL: I'm sorry, that's classified information.

SHAY: Well, what questions CAN you answer?

BLEZZAZEL: Anything that doesn't concern my job.

SHAY: Why?

BLEZZAZEL: Because destroyers are not spoken of in human words.

SHAY: Well, we're kind of speaking of you now, aren't we?

BLEZZAZEL: Not really. The true nature of destroyers has not been exposed.

SHAY: Can you tell me why God would need destroyers?

BLEZZAZEL: For the same reason countries need bombs.

SHAY: But can't God just clean up everything with one order?

BLEZZAZEL: Its not that easy.

SHAY: Why not?

BLEZZAZEL: I can't tell you.

SHAY: Well, what kinds of things do you normally destroy?

BLEZZAZEL: I can't tell you that either.

SHAY: I don't understand how we can have an interview if you won't answer any questions.

BLEZZAZEL: Maybe I should go then.

SHAY: Maybe that's best. Thanks for coming!

Arriel the Transporter


SHAY: You're a transporter?

ARRIEL: Yesirree.

SHAY: What does that mean?

ARRIEL: I transport things.

SHAY: What kinds of things?

ARRIEL: All kinds.

SHAY: Physical things? Non-physical things?

ARRIEL: Both.

SHAY: Can't God do this Himself?

ARRIEL: Don't bother me with that question. You already understand the answer to that one.

SHAY: I know that I do, but the folks reading this interview might not.

ARRIEL: Well I guess they'll have to find out for themselves.

SHAY: I guess so. So why be a transporter? Did you get to choose? Was there a choice?

ARRIEL: It’s one of the beginning jobs.

SHAY: You mean you're kind of low on the totem pole?

ARRIEL: That's one way of saying it.

SHAY: I guess being an angel has a hierarchy like anything else, huh?

ARRIEL: I guess so. Look, don't you have some more important questions for me?

SHAY: Sure. So where do you transport things to?

ARRIEL: All places.

SHAY: Heaven? Hell? Everywhere in between?

ARRIEL: You got it.

SHAY: So what's it like to go to hell?

ARRIEL: Not too fun.

SHAY: So God's angels do indeed go to hell?

ARRIEL: Regularly.

SHAY: Why?

ARRIEL: Normal reasons.

SHAY: Please elaborate on that.

ARRIEL: I go to transport things.

SHAY: Souls? Other angels? What?

ARRIEL: Both of those and a myriad of other things.

SHAY: Is it hard? Do you need a key to get into hell or something? How long does it take?

ARRIEL: In earthly terms, it’s instantaneous. It’s not hard once you do it a few trillion times, and there is no "key".

SHAY: So, if there's no key, how do you go in?

ARRIEL: God's authority grants us permission.

SHAY: So, God kind of gives you a "pass" into hell.

ARRIEL: Yep.

SHAY: Wow. So is there a "pass" into heaven too?

ARRIEL: Yep.

SHAY: How do you go about getting those passes?

ARRIEL: They're brought to me.

SHAY: By other transporters, I assume?

ARRIEL: Correct.

SHAY: Have you ever had a pass stolen?

ARRIEL: That's impossible.

SHAY: It’s impossible to steal a pass?

ARRIEL: Yes.

SHAY: Why?

ARRIEL: I don't know the answer to that question.

SHAY: Is there an angel that can answer that one for me?

ARRIEL: Maybe.

SHAY: So you don't really know?

ARRIEL: No, I don't.

SHAY: You pretty much just do your job and don't ask any questions, right?

ARRIEL: Basically.

SHAY: Well, is there anything else you wish to add?

ARRIEL: Is the interview over?

SHAY: Yes, unless you have something to add.

ARRIEL: <silence>

Archamedes the Builder


SHAY: You're a builder?

ARCHAMEDES: Yes.

SHAY: What do you build?

ARCHAMEDES: Usual stuff. Bridges, buildings, minds, suns.

SHAY: That's a little more than usual stuff. Not too many folks I know build minds and suns.

ARCHAMEDES: Angels do it all the time. Its actually quite fun.

SHAY: It sounds like it. Why is that?

ARCHAMEDES: The creation process is just so enjoyable.  Being a part of the growth of existence is just so invigorating. I wouldn't want any other job there is.

SHAY: How many jobs are there?

ARCHAMEDES: Enough.

SHAY: Is there one out there for everybody that wants one?

ARCHAMEDES: Well, you have to earn them you know.

SHAY: How does one go about earning one?

ARCHAMEDES: C'mon, get to a real question already.

SHAY: Seriously, I want to know how a being is able to earn a certain job...

ARCHAMEDES: You just ask for it.

SHAY: That's it?

ARCHAMEDES: Yeah, you ask God for it.

SHAY: And He always gives it to you? Just like that?

ARCHAMEDES: No...it takes a great deal of asking sometimes. I've seen beings ask for jobs for eternities and still not get one.

SHAY: Wow, God is kind of fickle, huh?

ARCHAMEDES: You could say that, but he also doesn't want a moron doing an important job, you know?

SHAY: Makes sense. So where on the totem pole is the job of "Builder"?

ARCHAMEDES: Somewhere in the middle.

SHAY: How do you rank compared with a destroyer?

ARCHAMEDES: A destroyer is actually pretty low.

SHAY: Really?!? Why is that?

ARCHAMEDES: It doesn't take much effort to wipe something out. But it takes a LOT of skill and knowledge to create something from nothing.

SHAY: Hmm...never thought of it that way. So what is next on your list of things to build?

ARCHAMEDES: An arena.

SHAY: Where and for whom?

ARCHAMEDES: I can't tell you where, but I can tell you that those who use this arena are blessed in the eyes of God.

SHAY: Thanks!

Enniel the Nightstalker


SHAY: Whoa....nightstalker?

ENNIEL: Correct.

SHAY: What kind of stuff does a nightstalker do?

ENNIEL: Everything under the moon.

SHAY: Clever.

ENNIEL: Actually, we hunt things.

SHAY: At night.

ENNIEL: Correct.

SHAY: Like what?

ENNIEL: Things that need to die.

SHAY: Whoa...I thought this was an angel interview, you sound more like a demon.

ENNIEL: I'm a nightstalker, take me for what I am.

SHAY: So do you have special powers that other angels don't have?

ENNIEL: Just the usual. I can see in the dark, travel throughtime and space at a rapid rate, and I can kill things quite easily.

SHAY: How easily? Wait, don't answer that. So did you have to earn your job?

ENNIEL: No. I just got stuck with it, I guess you would say.

SHAY: Like a penalty or a punishment?

ENNIEL: More like an eternal prison of damnation.

SHAY: How did a demon get into these interviews...

ENNIEL: If you're going to tell the story, my boy, you've got to get both sides of it.

SHAY: So I can expect other demons?

ENNIEL: Possibly.

SHAY: Okay, I'm royally scared now.

ENNIEL: Don't be. This is all monitored and controlled, just like everything else you do.

SHAY: How would you know that, you're just a demon.

ENNIEL: Angels aren't the only ones with knowledge, Shay.

SHAY: Okay, I think I've got all the information I want. You may go now.

ENNIEL: Just remember that you'd already be dead if Jesus wasn't watching over you.

SHAY: I'll keep that in mind. Bye now!

Pale Rider the Justice Keeper


SHAY: So, you're a man of the law, huh?

PALE RIDER: One of them.

SHAY: What kind of laws do you enforce?

PALE RIDER: All of them.

SHAY: All of them. You mean there aren't different types of laws that other angels work with?

PALE RIDER: There's only one law.

SHAY: And that would be...

PALE RIDER: God's Law.

SHAY: Fair enough. Now during a particular day, what would your routine include?

PALE RIDER: Death.

SHAY: I thought you kept the law, does that include killing people?

PALE RIDER: I mean that nothing in your world gets into my jurisdiction without death. Everything that I deal with has died.

SHAY: Everything?

PALE RIDER: Everything.

SHAY: So, do you deal with animals, humans, plants...what?

PALE RIDER: Everything, but I specialize in humans.

SHAY: Why is that?

PALE RIDER: I used to be one.

SHAY: You used to be one?

PALE RIDER: That's right.

SHAY: So angels are just dead humans?

PALE RIDER: No, we're a lot of things, but dead humans is part of the mix.

SHAY: So I might be an angel when I die?

PALE RIDER: If you're lucky.

SHAY: Or if I'm blessed, maybe?

PALE RIDER: That too.

SHAY: So what do you do with these things/beings when they get to you?

PALE RIDER: I impose God's wrath.

SHAY: Wow, that's a big job.

PALE RIDER: Its okay, I'm good at it. Some angels can only go so far. Some can't deal with the pain the job includes, but I've always been able to handle it.

SHAY: How long have you been doing it.

PALE RIDER: Since yesterday.

SHAY: Ah, angel humor. So, is it possible that when you're imposing justice, a mistake might be made?

PALE RIDER: Not possible.

SHAY: Why not?

PALE RIDER: I have five million eyes that can see into every aspect of a being's soul. I don't miss a thing.

SHAY: Wow, five million. So, what happens after judgment passes?

PALE RIDER: I pass him/her/it onto a transporter.

SHAY: That is either going up or down?

PALE RIDER: Yes.

SHAY: No in between?

PALE RIDER: No.

SHAY: I guess if you've already passed judgment, their in between time is up.

PALE RIDER: You got it.

SHAY: Well, here's hoping that I won't be seeing you any time soon!

Joel the Companion


SHAY: You're a pretty nice guy, aren't you, Joel?

JOEL: Yup. I'm a sweetie.

SHAY: Why did you come here today?

JOEL: To shed some light on what it’s like to be a companion to someone that has passed beyond your world.

SHAY: Well, what's it like?

JOEL: It’s like finding that friend that will never stab you in the back. It’s like walking next to someone that will never say it’s time to go home. It’s like traveling through a foreign country where everyone speaks your language. It’s just the best feeling in the world and I thought it should be mentioned in your interviews.

SHAY: Well, thank you so much for adding that!

JOEL: One more thing.

SHAY: What's that?

JOEL: May God bless you and the work you're doing.

SHAY: Why, thank you, Joel! You too!

Jason the Annihilator


SHAY: I don't think I want to know what you do.

JASON: I eat worlds.

SHAY: Thank you. Next!

Claudine the Seamstress


SHAY: A seamstress, huh?

CLAUDINE: Yes.

SHAY: Why would an angel need to be a seamstress?

CLAUDINE: I weave together the fabric of realities.

SHAY: Wow, that's a big job. Do you typically do that by yourself, or with other angels?

CLAUDINE: By myself. I enjoy having complete say in how things are connected.

SHAY: What exactly do you mean by that?

CLAUDINE: I don't want too many cooks in the kitchen.

SHAY: Understandable. So does your job ever interfere with that of a "Builder"?

CLAUDINE: Never. He creates, I connect. There's a very big difference. A builder makes something out of nothing, I connect those somethings together until they meet specifications.

SHAY: Specifications of 7?

CLAUDINE: God.

SHAY: Of course. And how many jobs do you handle in a typical...um...

CLAUDINE: Existence?

SHAY: I guess...

CLAUDINE: An infinite number that cannot be expressed in words.

SHAY: Okay, on to the next question. Lay it on me, do angels have spouses?

CLAUDINE: It’s not necessary because...

SHAY: You're all married to God?

CLAUDINE: No, because we never feel the need. We're always connected to an infinite number of other angels. In essence, we're all married to each other anyway.

SHAY: I guess you never have to worry about adultery then.

CLAUDINE: <polite smile>

SHAY: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uneasy.

CLAUDINE: I should be going now.

SHAY: Please accept my apologies.

CLAUDINE: Goodbye.

Jeremiah the Healer


SHAY: You were the first one that came to me today, why?

JEREMIAH: I was interested in being a part of this project.

SHAY: Why?

JEREMIAH: It looks like you're helping a lot of people, and that's what we're all about.

SHAY: We being who?

JEREMIAH: Healers.

SHAY: So are there a lot of you?

JEREMIAH: Enough.

SHAY: Enough for what?

JEREMIAH: Enough to keep the fabric intact.

SHAY: What fabric?

JEREMIAH: The fabric of reality.

SHAY: I think that goes a little over my head, can you explain it for me?

JEREMIAH: Without us, life stops and then never starts again. Without us, the pain would never end and the laughter would never come back. Without us, you wouldn't see, you'd all be blind, because there would be nothing to put you back on your feet once the darkness knocked you over.

SHAY: So I guess we should be pretty thankful for you guys then.

JEREMIAH: That would be a start.

SHAY: Well, thank you for your time.

JEREMIAH: Thank you for the opportunity.

Slider the Doorman


SHAY: Doorman...what does that mean?

SLIDER: It means I open doors.

SHAY: Wouldn't that kind of make you a transporter then?

SLIDER: No.

SHAY: Well then please explain.

SLIDER: Do you know how many doors there are?

SHAY: No.

SLIDER: I do. Do you know how to open them?

SHAY: No.

SLIDER: I do. Do you know who should go where and who shouldn't go anywhere at all?

SHAY: No.

SLIDER: I do.

SHAY: Point taken. So is this a hard job? Are there ever any serious problems?

SLIDER: No. I just make the call if something happens.

SHAY: And another team of angels gets called in.

SLIDER: Correct.

SHAY: I'm beginning to get the hang of this.

SLIDER: Good. May I leave now?

SHAY: Certainly. Thank you very much!

Natasha the Joy Bringer


SHAY: So you're a Joy Bringer...you'll have to explain that one to me.

NATASHA: Certainly! Have you ever seen a child smile while he's asleep?

SHAY: Yes.

NATASHA: That was me.

SHAY: You? Just you? You're the only one?

NATASHA: It was me or a part of me.

SHAY: How many parts of you are there.

NATASHA: Quite a few.

SHAY: Now, we're getting into something different here. Can you explain how you can be several angels and still just be you?

NATASHA: Have you ever seen a woman give birth to twins?

SHAY: Yes.

NATASHA: Imagine one woman giving birth to herself over and over again, but the woman nor her children ever dies.

SHAY: I think I'm getting it. Why are Joy Bringers like this?  None of the other angels seemed to talk about a structure like yours.

NATASHA: We're not all like this. But, as you humans say, joy is contagious! So of course the ones who bring it must be able to multiply as needed!

SHAY: Ah, I never thought of it that way. Quite interesting.

NATASHA: I'm sorry, I must go now.

SHAY: Someone in need of joy?

NATASHA: Something like that.

SHAY: Goodbye!

Hercules the Nailer


SHAY: Nailer? Could you explain that?

HERCULES: I fasten things down.

SHAY: Well, obviously, but why would there be a job just for that one purpose?

HERCULES: Have you ever needed something to stay in place, but no matter what it wouldn't?

SHAY: Well, I guess.

HERCULES: Picture a planet giving you that problem.

SHAY: Ah.

HERCULES: Or a demon for that matter.

SHAY: Gotcha. Are there a lot of you?

HERCULES: Enough.

SHAY: I think I'll stop using that question.

HERCULES: What?

SHAY: Nothing. Do you guys use any special tools?

HERCULES: What are tools?

SHAY: You know, something to aid you in your job.

HERCULES: I'm an angel. If I needed help doing my job I wouldn't have my job.

SHAY: Even if you needed another angel's help?

HERCULES: That's different. We're supposed to team up as necessary.

SHAY: Got it. What is the hardest thing you ever nailed?

HERCULES: God's Throne.

SHAY: Wow. I would assume that was quite challenging.

HERCULES: It took some time.

SHAY: How long.

HERCULES: It’s still a work in progress.

SHAY: Got it. Well, thank you for your time!

Renaldo the Liar


SHAY: A liar, well...that sounds more like a demon's job...

RENALDO: Call it what you want...it has to be done.

SHAY: So what kind of things do you lie about?

RENALDO: What kind of things don't I lie about.

SHAY: The work never stops I guess...

RENALDO: Not in your world.

SHAY: Will it ever?

RENALDO: I hope not, then I'd be out of a job.

SHAY: So have you ever wanted to do anything else?

RENALDO: Of course! Who really wants to lie all the time.  It’s not like it’s fun or anything.

SHAY: So why not change jobs?

RENALDO: Do you really have to ask?

SHAY: Well...yeah...

RENALDO: I'm cursed, man.

SHAY: Oh, I see. So you'll be doing this forever...

RENALDO: Yep.

SHAY: Is there a way out?

RENALDO: Of course there is.

SHAY: So why not take it?

RENALDO: I can't.

SHAY: Why not?

RENALDO: I'm sure you'll find that out later in the book.

SHAY: How do you know?

RENALDO: I'm a mystical being, man, some things we're ALL privy to.

SHAY: Gotcha. Thanks for your time!

Aryan the Stalwart


SHAY: Stalwart, what's a stalwart?

ARYAN: An energizer, a fortifier, we keep people standing when all they want to do is fall.

SHAY: Ah, I see. Are there many of you?

ARYAN: You know humanity, you've seen what you folks go through...what do you think?

SHAY: I get your point. So if I wanted to be a stalwart in the next life, what would I do?

ARYAN: Show God your mettle.

SHAY: My mettle?

ARYAN: Yes, your fortitude, your constitution, your ability to thrive under pressure.

SHAY: Then I could have a job passing on that trait to others...interesting. Is that how jobs typically work in the angelic realm?

ARYAN: In almost all areas.

SHAY: What areas don't fall under that umbrella?

ARYAN: The unspoken ones.

SHAY: Like sex, crime...that sort of thing?

ARYAN: No, much worse things than that.

SHAY: Please detail it for me.

ARYAN: I can't.

SHAY: Why not?

ARYAN: They're unspoken.

SHAY: So no angel can talk about them?

ARYAN: Pretty much.

SHAY: Well then, I apologize for making you uncomfortable.

ARYAN: No problem, I'm tough.

SHAY: Thanks for your time!

Slavinias the Server


SHAY: A server, interesting! What do you serve?

SLAVINIAS: All sorts of things.

SHAY: Food?

SLAVINIAS: Not usually, but sometimes.

SHAY: Are you kind of an assistant?

SLAVINIAS: That's a bad description. I'm more of an enabler.

SHAY: Which means...

SLAVINIAS: I create connections that allow other angels to get their jobs done.

SHAY: Ah, I see. So you're kind of like 911?

SLAVINIAS: Not exactly. That's a completely different job.  I'm more like 411.

SHAY: Gotcha. What was the last thing you served?

SLAVINIAS: A male orangutan.

SHAY: Who needed one of those?

SLAVINIAS: A female orangutan.

SHAY: Hehehe...cool. What's the strangest thing you've ever served?

SLAVINIAS: Water.

SHAY: Why is water strange?

SLAVINIAS: On planets that can support life, usually beings can find water. But this guy couldn't.

SHAY: Why not?

SLAVINIAS: He had metamorphasized and could no longer process life-giving materials.

SHAY: So how did you get the water to him if he couldn't drink it?

SLAVINIAS: I put it right into his body.

SHAY: I see. You just kind of placed it in there in the way that only angels can.

SLAVINIAS: Bingo.

SHAY: That's a nice skill. I'll bet you guys are high up on the food chain.

SLAVINIAS: Its not a bad job.

SHAY: Thank you for your time. It’s been informative!

Richel the Eradicator


SHAY: Eradicator? What's that?

RICHEL: Come on, you've heard the word before.

SHAY: Well, I've heard of eradication, but wouldn't that be the same as destruction? What would be the difference between you and the destroyer I interviewed earlier?

RICHEL: Can't you spot the difference?

SHAY: No, I can't. Help me out here...

RICHEL: When destruction happens, there is a residue, an aftermath. The remains of the destroyed still exist, even if they are not in the form they were before.

SHAY: Ah...I see where you're going...

RICHEL: But when I get rid of something, it ceases to exist. There is absolutely nothing left. It’s gone forever as if it never existed.

SHAY: Wow, that's quite a job.

RICHEL: There's a need, so I fill it.

SHAY: Just you?

RICHEL: No, there's a few of us.

SHAY: How many?

RICHEL: A small team.

SHAY: What is small in angel-speak?

RICHEL: Enough to get the job done, nothing more.

SHAY: So what kind of things do you eradicate?

RICHEL: You can't guess the answer to that one either?

SHAY: I get your drift.

RICHEL: Yeah, there are definitely things out there worthy of eradication.

SHAY: Do you mean demons?

RICHEL: Among other things.

SHAY: Ever run into trouble while eradicating something?  Like, something you're unable to eradicate?

RICHEL: Never.

SHAY: Thanks for your time!

Harrison the Timetwister



SHAY: Timetwister?

HARRISON: Yes, my boy. I assume you want an explanation?

SHAY: If you would be so kind...

HARRISON: Have you ever looked back at something, and wished you could change it?

SHAY: Sure, everybody has.

HARRISON: Well, I'm one of the angels that does the changing.

SHAY: Wait a minute, no one can change the past.

HARRISON: You're incorrect about that, it happens all the time.

SHAY: How can that be possible?

HARRISON: Look at who you're talking to.

SHAY: Why would God want to change the past?

HARRISON: To Him, the past isn't the past, its something completely different altogether.

SHAY: Which would be 7?

HARRISON: Opportunity.

SHAY: Opportunity to 7?

HARRISON: ...love, my boy. Opportunity to love.

SHAY: Why would changing the past make us love God any more than we already do?

HARRISON: That's not the purpose. You missed my point.  It’s an opportunity for HIM to love, not for YOU humans to be more affectionate towards him. Timetwisting is for Him, not you.

SHAY: So I guess this is a pretty important job, seeing as how it’s not even perceptible to humans.

HARRISON: Most of our jobs aren't, dear boy. But they are needed all the same.

SHAY: If you say so.
