Who: Pitto. Open!
Where: Capricorn. Afternoon.
Summary: An angel must always be prepared! And so Pit is practicing on his entry lines.
Warnings: Corn.

There's a bench in the park occupied by a radio. The radio is blaring music--a CD, apparently. Perhaps some Extraterritorial Guests might recognize the music being played.

"Listen you--hnng, I use that too much..."

The bench and radio face a clearing in the park.

"Alright, how about... It's time to, uh...um...pull in...the laundry? Oh, no..."

The clearing in the park is occupied by a certain angel, who just a moment ago stood in a dramatic pose. Now he has his hand cupped around his chin, his face deep in thought.

"'It's time to"'s a good start, but...laundry? Umm... Maybe if they were a clothes monster... Oh, I know! It's time to take out the trash! Aww yeah!"

The angel pumps a fist in the air.

"I'm here to clean up the filth and dump it in the heap! Hope you're wearing shades, 'cause it's about to get squeaky clean in here! Man I am on fire!"

Someone stop him. Please.

"Will it make you feel better if I say Pittoo's lines for you?" That sound there is definitely not a snicker, clearly not. Her voice drops a few octaves.

"I am the Dark Poseur, servant to none other than ~myself~ hohohohoho."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Pit is so. not. laughing. at all.

...except he is.

"I gotta admit, that's pretty spot on."

[forceofnature]

"I practice making fun of you guys when I have nothing better to do with my time." Viridi responds in a deadpan. "...So in this place, all the time."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"...you really need to get a new hobby."

[forceofnature]

"Says the angel practicing victory cheers and backflips in the park."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"At least I'm doing something!"

[forceofnature]

"You know what's a fun hobby? Destroying the forces of the Underworld." That was a totally appropriate segue. "Haven't been seeing you do much of that lately. You know there's a giant demon mountain that appear every night, right?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"I have been doing that. But I've got a job, too! I can't survive on government subsidies alone!"

[forceofnature]

"I thought you didn't need anything except wings to survive." Too soon? "If we're going to take down whatever's threatening this world, we need to investigate the source of the demons. And that means being a little bit more organized about this kind of thing."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"I also need to eat," he mutters.

"Anyway, I get what you're saying, but can't we, just...relax sometimes?"

[forceofnature]

"Haven't you been relaxing for the last three months? C'mon, shake off that laziness! I'll even set the difficulty back to 1 for you if you want."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Viridi... What part of 'I have my own life' did you not understand? I really appreciate all you did for me back when Lady Palutena was in trouble, but... I don't work for you. And you can't boss me around like this."

[forceofnature]

"Ugh! Why is it so hard to find good help nowadays?! We're going to be stuck here forever if no one wants to explore the dumb mountain! Whatever. If none of you are going to get off your butts and actually do what you're here to do, I'm building another bomb and dropping it on the stupid thing."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"You know what, Viridi? Instead of complaining about how nobody will go in there and fight, how about you do it? Go in there and fight with your own hands and not just sit there and throw a bomb at it! See how you like fighting all the time! Those demons probably don't have anything to do with why we're here! But if you want to kill them so bad, fine! But you go in there and fight like you're asking me to do!"

[forceofnature]

"What are you talking about? There's nothing threatening this world except the demons; at least be coherent when you're losing your temper."

"And I can't go out there, you doofus. You think Palutena and I relied on you because we were lazy? And why do you think Medusa was holed up in her castle instead of out on the front lines? We can't just go out and stomp around in person; it'd be even more destructive than a bomb. Remember the rainbow apocalypse?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Look, just--stop bossin' me around! I don't care what you do as long as you don't hurt other people! But I'm not your angel!"

[forceofnature]

"What is with you? Humanity needs a savior! Isn't that like your favorite goal in life? If we're going after the same thing, we might as well work together! You just start screaming every time I even talk to you now."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Because you're nosy! And you're bossy! And...and maybe I just want to have a normal life for a while! I know the humans here need my help, but it's not like it was in our world! They're surviving on their own, and there's plenty of people here who can help! It doesn't all have to rest on our shoulders, you know. Sometimes we can stop and take a break. It's okay to take a break. I like taking breaks!"

[forceofnature]

"What?! I'm not nosy. I'm... taking an interest in the things my acquaintances do."

That one was a stretch.

"It's not like all of our responsibilities get thrown out the window just because this isn't our world, Pit. I care about the fate of this planet and all of its life. You... Are you just using this as a vacation?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"..........................................................maybe."

1/3

[forceofnature]

"..................Fine."

Her voice is softer than it normally is.

"...Fine. You've saved one world. Fine. Take your break. Go have fun. Forget your cares. Learn to be human."

This would be, it seems, because it is fading out.

"I'll go find someone else."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...okay. That worries him.

"...Viridi?"

[forceofnature]

"I said, go have fun! What do you want, a permission slip?"

The presence of divinity vanishes.
