Abeegail approached the home of Peter. It had been roughly 20 years since they had last seen one another and the sighting of God and the lowered Notail Activity made her feel quite confident in her getting to make a visit among one of her few lulls in her schedule as a hard worker and a mother superior of her own church.

She had considered other more fanciful ways of visiting, perhaps in her jet or a fancy car, but that seemed far too flashy for her. Too materialistic and hypocritical to her.

No, she comes here just as Beeatrix Majidaunt and as Saint Abeegail. Not as some corporate writer or artist.

With that in mind, she walks over and knocks so she can perhaps get answers to her questions and catch up with some old friends and walk down memory lane. Likewise, she is happy to share her own stories and tales with them. They'll be surprised to see how she's grown into a 6ft Apidee!

God
As she approaches the location, it's hard to miss the oddities that arise. For one, God sits curled up around Peter's apartment. His head at the ground floor. He does not block the entrance in. Those around Him take no interest in the oddity. This "strange beast" becoming the norm as quickly as anything else in ZooCorp.
Maggy
Before she has a chance to look around, she is accosted by a familiar face. "No way...."
Maggy
"Is that you, B girl? You're huge!"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail pauses and looks to Maggie and says, "Hello and greetings! It is, indeed, me. Beeatrix Majidaunt, Saintess Abeegail, and more titles that I'm sure you don't care at all about, Maggie!"
St.Abeegail
"It is delightful to see you once more. Are the others present with Jesus here?"
Maggy
"It sort of depends on who you mean, B girl. Things got all kinds of wild when the notails took Jesus, God, The Big Man away."
St.Abeegail
"They really did get wild. It was very unfortunate."
St.Abeegail
"But I'm here now in the wake of recent events to catch up with you all if I can find them. James, Gabriel, Peter, Judas, Jesus, and Satan!" Abeegail buzzes a bit happily but keeps herself tempered.
St.Abeegail
"Have some tea, share what's happened since then, maybe play a board game or two. It'd be a get together."
St.Abeegail
"If not. Well, I'm just happy you are all safe and doing well."
Maggy
"Uh let's see....."
Maggy
"James died in the wars."
Maggy
"No one has seen Satan since he went on his whole redemption quest."
Maggy
"I think Judas moved on for the most part. Don't know if he's in ZooCorp or whatever."
Maggy
"As for Gab...."
Gabriel
"I'M STILL ALIVE BABY!"
Gabriel
"YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT I DID IN THE WARS BEE GIRL."
Gabriel
"...................................................."
Gabriel
"NEVERMIND."
Maggy
"Gabriel and Peter are still kicking. Horn boy too!"
Maggy
"I don't know why Peter and Horn boy are roommates now. Maybe they're like brotherhood monks or somethin'."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail felt a little overwhelmed with the answers she was given and had quite a number of questions. She tells Maggie, "It is sad to hear that I could not have met James once more, but I am overjoyed to have met you and Gabriel again."
St.Abeegail
"As for, 'Horn boy', I am unfamiliar. Are you talking about the Lamb?"
Maggy
"Uh nah. I mean D'arc. The gross smelly guy is here too though."
St.Abeegail
"Ah, I see. That is interesting to hear! Rude of me to assume he'd vanished in all the events going on, but if he's here then perhaps he's changed for the better."
St.Abeegail
"Did he quit smoking?"
Maggy
"He's as gross and nasty as ever, B!"
Maggy
"You think being around strict as hell Peter would have shaped him up but nah, he a nasty pile of mutton."
St.Abeegail
"That is unfortunate to hear, but if they enjoy one and another's company then so bee it."
Maggy
"Pretty sure they hate each other."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail was further confused by this relationship by what she is being told, but she has more things to talk about and can just ask about them later when she perhaps heads on inside. She wanted to ask Maggie a few things while she had her here at least.

"I'll ask them more about it later, but how about you Maggie? How have you been since the events? It is lovely to see you again, but I can't imagine you remained idle handed."
Maggy
"Hate to say it B, but you're wrong. I've been totally lazing about following God around. Just been kind of ignorin' all the nonsense around Him."
Maggy
"I ain't no fighter and the notails weren't going to listen to me anyway so I was just around to provide support and whatnot. I'm kind of lucky I didn't get blown up in all this shit."
Maggy
"I wasn't invited to follow God to ZooCorp, but I figured if I just come to ZooCorp maybe I can be there whenever their big plan goes down."
Maggy
"If I didn't do that I'd be totally dead. Haha......"
Maggy
"What's you been up to B? Hate to say it but I'm more of a fan girl. You're like the real thing so I assume you've been up to more shit- I mean stuff than me."
St.Abeegail
"After Lo'aith, I left my holy blade and post and headed back home to Apidaria to spread my faith and lead my fellow Apidee and Vespidee into a era of unified peace between each other through love and understanding." Abeegail tells Maggie with a twitch of her antennae.
St.Abeegail
"It was a community effort but with my prolonged lifespan and wisdom, I gradually worked my way up into a Princess Apidee and beyond into a true Mother Superior of my own church."
St.Abeegail
"But, after having achieved some peace between my species 10 years in, the encroachment of Zoocorp finally crept in and started making some changes."
St.Abeegail
"I was in favor of it all actually. With community support, patience, and understanding. The machine's allure of self destruction could be abated and it just becomes a lovely tool for our own happiness and goals."
St.Abeegail
"Apidee are different from most species. Seeing as things were handled on my front and that others suffered. I left to go to where people most needed me."
St.Abeegail
"The Zoocorp megaplanet!"
St.Abeegail
"A honestly perfect boiling pot where Zoocorp's machines have bleached into the very culture and become acceptable, but leaving most species feeling lost and purposeless."
St.Abeegail
"Which is why I am here. It's quite an interesting idea isn't it? Even Zoocorp sees the niche."
Maggy
"Oh...dang...like...are you ok?"
Maggy
"I guess you're a B, B. So you can't really feel sad or nothing but...man it has to suck that ZooCorp blew up all your work like that."
St.Abeegail
"What?"
Maggy
"Then again......If ZooCorp was on the planet, then they must be part of the mega planet too."
Maggy
"Sorry. Look, B girl, I'm barely piecing together all this lore myself, K? Universe blows up and everyone around me is like "Ok that sounds bad but what can I do about it?""
Maggy
"And I'm here like Holy shit! Y'all really just like "Ok I guess that sounds bad" about everything blowin' up!?!?!"
Maggy
"I gotta remind myself that most of the planets fused with like, this weird as hell mega planet."
Maggy
"Forgive me for cussin' by the way, God."
God
"I DON'T MIND. It SOUNDS like a SURPRISING SITUATION."
St.Abeegail
"Are you being genuine right now? About the blowing up planets thing? I thought that was a signal jammer! Something I have strongly disapproved as well of because it is somewhat a baseless fear when things are this far in."
Maggy
"Oh shit you actually didn't know.....Ah.....Don't worry B! I'm sure your planet got fused in with this one, it's K!"

"What about the other planets? Those other unsaved souls!" Abeegail acts out in a way that appears to be anger, something that shouldn't normally be possible. But she can, because she feels she should. She is acting as she feels she should in a bubbly Apidee way.
Peter
Peter opens the window. "Are you all going to stay outside?"
Maggy
"Peter, we're having a moment here!"
St.Abeegail
"I am having a minor moment but yes. Do you have tea?"
Peter
"Would you prefer I bring it outside, or you two come inside?"
St.Abeegail
"I can come inside, Peter. I would like to collect my thoughts before I am tempted to order my followers to bring around the jet and take off to Zoocorp headquarters to deliver a strongly composed verbal outburst."
Peter
Peter heads outside to usher the two in. He doesn't speak, unsure if he's allowed input into the situation just yet. His roommate on the other hand (the "gross one" by Maggy's words) does butt in as soon as he can.
Sleeper
"So you've heard of this guy's shitty acts haven't you? Can you believe the gall of that guy to just blow shit up for his own needs?"
Peter
Peter doesn't bother reminding the Sleeper of his own evil and selfish actions as he prepares the tea.
St.Abeegail
Abeegail helps herself to a acceptable looking seat and provides her own input, "It is rather unthinkable. Something I will be sure to go about addressing soon enough in my own unique way."
St.Abeegail
"Perhaps I'll even get to his own office, but for now. I'd like to focus on you all. It is what I've scheduled to do today amidst all my other deals and plans. I have some games to run after this, several books to draft, some to finalize, and then prayers with my loving flock of Apidees and Vespidees."

"I have this one I am working on that is about 2 Geckrechaun, both brothers. 1 is hard working and one is lazy. The plot is that the lazy one keeps borrowing from the working one and the lazy one keeps promising to pay it back."
St.Abeegail
"But then the hard working one dies and the lazy one can never pay off that debt now! There's going to be a few arcs over it and how he keeps putting money on the grave out of guilt. I think it will be just a lovely tragic set of events."
Maggy
("She's totally all over the place.")
Sleeper
("Totally traumatized by the news.")
Peter
("I believe this is just how apidees are.")
Sleeper
("Wow.")
Peter
("Wow what? They physically cannot feel certain emotions!")
St.Abeegail
Abeegail is confused as to what they are talking about and asks, "What are you three talking about? Is the idea no good?"
St.Abeegail
"I'll stick it on the future ideas board then and deal with it later."
Maggy
"Uuuh we tryin' to figure out if you're losing it or not, B."
Maggy
"I don't know if you should be endangering yourself by walkin' up to ZooCorp."
Peter
"It's no use anyway. The leader of ZooCorp..."
Peter
"Is Abraham."
Maggy
"THE DWEEB NERD?"
Peter
"No the CREATOR of the Abrahamic Corporation!"
Maggy
"Oh thank Lord and Jesus, both the same. If it was the dweeb I don't know what I would have done."
St.Abeegail
"I believe I am functioning quite well for a Apidee. Everything in me is on and operating."

She laughs at this a little, but looks to others if it might be a bit much of a joke for their genuine concern.
St.Abeegail
Abeegail doesn't know who the Creator of the Abrahamic Corp is and just seems confused, but she feels she should act surprised, "Really?"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail then tells everyone, "That sounds like that just makes it much easier if he's a fellow Christian. I can just walk in and ask him nicely to stop destroying planets and maybe also stop doing whatever further questionable things are planned."
St.Abeegail
"He can... Wait, is he the CEO I am thinking of? The one who's asking for scrap among other things?"
Peter
"I believe he will listen to your request, Abeegail."
Peter
"If only because, as far as I understand it, he destroyed all of them in one go."
St.Abeegail
"All of them?"
Maggy
"Not a single person can get any connection to anyone from the outside. It's gotta be all of them!"
St.Abeegail
"This is quite the further news to hear. I assumed it was a process with logistics involved. Not really a snap of the finger and they are all just gone."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail then snaps back in a slightly disturbing manner, "How ruthlessly efficient. It wasn't messy at least."
St.Abeegail
"I can see why people may not mull over it if it was just such a simple thing. A poof! Gone!"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail looks at the table and pauses with a bit of a low buzz like a machine loading a tricky program before she looks up and asks, "How is the tea coming along, Peter?"
Peter
"Ah sorry. I was distracted. I could have burned the tea."
Maggy
"You see what I mean? Ain't this just weird?"
Peter
"What can we do about it, Maggy?"
Maggy
"Like...."
Maggy
"Maybe......"
Maggy
"I guess I see why ZooCorp folks are just kind of like "Dang that hella sucks," about all of this."
Peter
Peter pours tea for Abeegail. "I am happy to see you've been well."
St.Abeegail
"I am happy to see you have done well too, Peter! Maggie was talking to me about you and the others outside. Is the Lamb giving you trouble?"

Abeegail attempts to pick up and sip the tea provided. She asked for it after all.
Peter
"Yes. He's been quite troublesome. Unwilling to leave."
Sleeper
"I'd fuckin' leave if you asked me to!"
Peter
"Please leave my apartment."
Sleeper
"Well like, where am I gonna go? You're really just goin' to toss a man out on the street like that knowin' those cekekis would eat him up like it's nothin'?"
Sleeper
"I don't even know what those other idiots are thinkin'! Don't they realize that this city is SWARMIN' with those anomaly power draining cekekis?"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail tells Peter, "I think it is quite noble. I've helped my own fair share of Vespidee by housing them. I believe in change and giving those typically viewed as evil a good strong chance or 2."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail looks over to the Lamb as she places her cup back on its saucer, "I hope you haven't been causing too much trouble for Peter either. He's housing you out of kindness and I do hope you've been repaying the hospitality, at least a little."
St.Abeegail
"I could house you if he gets fed up, I wouldn't wish you to get snapped by a cekeki. Be you an anomaly or not."
St.Abeegail
"I don't think you'd enjoy it however. I'm a very strict Queen in my house. You wouldn't be smoking as you do now."
Sleeper
"So like...does she realize I'm a god or what?"
Maggy
"Hell nah."
St.Abeegail
"What?"
Peter
"Religiously none of us do."
Sleeper
"What the hell do you mean none of you do?"
St.Abeegail
"Religiously, there is only one god. All others are false."
Maggy
"You really ain't that weirder than any other anomaly, weirdo."
Sleeper
"I'm the god damn Sleeper!"
St.Abeegail
"You are?!"
Maggy
"Yeah, but you ain't a god or nothing."
God
"I am OK, if he wants to be GOD."
Maggy
"God ain't read the bible so don't listen to Him."
St.Abeegail
"I've met 3 supposed Limbo Gods if that is the case."
St.Abeegail
"I always thought them more like beasts since the first one was a large storm dragon and the second one was a gigantic bird that almost ate me. Now I learn you were supposedly a god, Lamb? Crazy!"
St.Abeegail
"Do you have a gigantic imposing form that swallows the sky and inspires the sublime in onlookers like a biiiiig whale?"
Sleeper
"Uh yeah I do. But I'm trying to keep it on the downlow you know?"
St.Abeegail
"Already somewhat better! You're being humble!"
Peter
"In the 20 years he has been around me I have not once seen this form."
Sleeper
"You wanna see me unfurled up pretty badly don't you?"
St.Abeegail
"Is it as smokey as you are now?"
St.Abeegail
"I can't deny that I am curious but I just wanted to also talk about... Well, what everyone is going to do now. We've all remet one and another. Jesus is with us. We could all just go back to doing what we liked doing if our connections past the Abrahamic Corporation was more then just a theatrical play and deceptions."
St.Abeegail
"Everything about me during all of that was genuine. I enjoyed my time together with you all."
St.Abeegail
"I am outraged over the current events, but we are still here. We can do what we wish. We can grow the gardens again, we can write songs or make drinks. We could spread Jesus's messages of love and forgiveness to many."

"I'd like that. I'd like it a lot. But, I am not longer so ignorant or dreamy. 20 years have passed and we all have our own lives. I have my own flock to tend to and there are your own lives and responsibilities.
Maggy
"You're such a pure soul, B. Honestly sinless. I don't care what Peter has to say about apidees like you."
St.Abeegail
"Is Gabriel around still?"
Gabriel
"I GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN BE AROUND!!!"
Gabriel
"Currently I am guarding the entrance to Heaven from creeps and long flaming noodles."
Peter
"That's my apartment door."
Gabriel
"Let a man dream! You're supposed to be holding the keys to Heaven! So I'm calling that your apartment door!"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail offers the angel a pen, "Could you be a angel and guard this pen for the next 30 minutes as well? I will need it by then. For writing."
Gabriel
"No problem Bee! I'll guard this like God's own right hand pen!"
Gabriel
Gabriel grabs the pen and slowly runs out of the room with the object slightly bigger than him.
St.Abeegail
"You are as noble as ever, Gabriel."
Maggy
"He's going to put that under a floorboard somewhere and you ain't ever gonna get it back."
St.Abeegail
She then looks back to the group at the table and sips her tea once more. She gives another sip of her tea and then puts it down quickly to look at Maggie, "Really? I actually did need that pen! Aw. I'll have to ask my daughters when they come to pick me up. They'll have spares."
St.Abeegail
"I just wanted to give him something to do, but I suppose it can be a gift. I can't fault Gabriel's diligence."
Maggy
"Woah, daughters? You gave birth?"
Peter
"Laid eggs."
Maggy
"Literally the same thing."

Abeegail shakes her head, "It's another part of Apidee Culture as well as Church lingo. Apidee are cloned. I've never met someone special enough in my life to do such a thing, nor do I have the biology to preform such an act."
Maggy
"I didn't think you'd have the biology to be tall has hel- heck, but it seems the Lord delivered!"
St.Abeegail
"The lord works in mysterious ways and I am thankful and blessed to have been granted such incredible health. I'd have likely been in the hospital quite a few times otherwise. The Vespidee require special attention and tougher love. They have stingers on their arms at all times and a willingness to use them vigorously."
St.Abeegail
"That aside!"
St.Abeegail
Abeegail looks upwards to God and asks, "Hello and Greetings Jesus. How are you doing today?"
St.Abeegail
"Forgive me for not greeting you at the door. I wanted to knock on the door and make my appearance a bit of a surprise!"
God
God peers at her through the small window. "I can't BE SURPRISED BY my OWN BLOOD."
God
"I can ALWAYS FEEL IF THEY ARE NEAR. How have you been, ABEEGAIL."

"Wonderful as always, if a little overtly reliant on caffeine to keep me going along side some righteous diligence! There's so much to do, so many of my flock to guide, and so many things to do and tend to. You inspire me and through your gifts I can act as a peak example of what Apidee can aspire to be!" Abeegail shares with god as she looks at him through the window.
God
"I am GLAD THE EVENTS did not SOUR YOUR OUTLOOK."

"I was tempted to raise a blade, but knew that you would not have approved of such a act and that it would not have done any good. I knew that things would have been better if I left and tended to my own goals... I wanted to unite the Apidee and the Vespidee in union, despite their differences. An act thought impossible both in biology and circumstance."
St.Abeegail
"Lo and behold. I've found immense success and joy thanks to you. I found the strength within me to do the impossible with the help of others to reform those long thought to be completely evil, spiteful wasps."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail decides to leave out the part about the crazy alternative version of herself visiting her, kicking her in the stomach, and explaining how they caused Apidee unity through making sandwiches for the musings of a clown god and their questionable relationship with a metal chicken.
St.Abeegail
She wishes she could have done it and not some alternative version of herself, but she's happy to settle for considering all this work a community effort rather then clown magicks.
God
"I am SO PROUD to hear of what you have done. There is NO NEED to thank ME. I have only INSPIRED YOU but you have done this yourself."
God
"I hope that they are ALL SAFE and that your IDEALS have been MET."
God
"THANK YOU for not taking up A SWORD. War is a TERRIBLE THING."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail is overjoyed to receive such praise from God. This is like her own little heaven right here. She could explode right now and be fine with it completely, "I am joyful to hear such praise from you, Jesus. I will visit more. Perhaps you could even visit my own church and hear the Caborhunds churp in union and the hymn harmonize. I am sure some of my followers would be happy to partake of your blessings. They'd love to make a garden for you. As would I."
St.Abeegail
"We've got plenty of time now. Now that I'm reconnecting with you and everyone."
Peter
("I don't know quite about time...")
Maggy
("Don't ruin this moment, man.")
God
"I think that would be NICE. If you allow it, I SHALL BE THERE FOR YOU."
God
"LET US go find your PEN, and then, MAYBE YOU WILL ALLOW ME to see your FLOCK."
St.Abeegail
Abeegail break her visage of maturity to let out some childish whimsy, some bubbly apidee joy with her arms raised high to say, "Heehoo! Pen adventure!"
St.Abeegail
"Let's grab Gabriel!"
END OF EXPO.
