not so fond of the holiday

[mankindly]

My father is literally the devil, and I threw him back into hell. Our relationship isn't exactly good.

Anyway, I send my cards to my human father and Crowley and Aziraphale every year. That's good enough, right?

Don't be so sour, little Young. You have all the time you could want.

Well, in a manner of speaking.

[eyesofaserpent]

It's good enough for me,squirt.

[mankindly]

I really don't have any intentions of willingly speaking to Dad.. ever, really. Thanks for the thought, though, Pollution.

[mankindly]

Well, you and 'Zira have been great godfathers.

[eyesofaserpent]

You turned out okay, kid. Er... How old are you now?

[mankindly]

Seventeen. Makes it a little awkward explaining to people in Abax that I'm fine on my own.

[eyesofaserpent]

Why would that make it awkward?

[mankindly]

Abax is dangerous, and as far as anyone knows, I'm just a human. No powers to help defend myself, no training.. Just a student.

[eyesofaserpent]

Oh, er... Right... Do you have your powers? You're just feigning defenselessness, right?

[mankindly]

Yeah, it takes more than a crazy city to take away that part of me, unfortunately.

Still, I'm kind of considering pretending to be, I don't know, a mutant or something, so I can relax a little. Kind of nice to have a holiday.

[eyesofaserpent]

A mutant? like in those comic books?

[mankindly]

Yup! There's a bunch of 'em there. I figure one more's easy enough to overlook.

[eyesofaserpent]

You're probably right.Better to have camouflage they can't easily disprove.

Do you have anyone from home there or is it just you?

[mankindly]

Just me, unfortunately. I s'pose it's for the best, though. It'd be hard to explain my Horsemen.

[eyesofaserpent]

I bet. They aren't easy to explain to anyone.

[ineffablytartan]

Godfather, dear. It's not quite the same thing, though the cards are always appreciated.

[mankindly]

Better than the alternative. And it's not as if I can talk to my human father about the things I can talk to the two of you about.

[mankindly]

The other three can at least pass for human, sort of. But Death might be complicated if he shows up.

[ineffablytartan]

Perhaps not, but he still raised you.

[mankindly]

He is and I love him, but I still have to be careful.

[eyesofaserpent]

Well, when he's wearing his motorcycle gear he can kind of pass for a human...
