When In Rome...

Interlude: While Others Cry


"I thought we were supposed to be inconspicious."

"Hmm?"

"You're overdoing it, Faust. They're beginning to get suspicious here."

"It's against the rules, and you know it. Every time we overdo it, we get--"

"Hey, ever heard of miracles? We have to overdo it once in a while, you know, to keep those many believers alert."

"Yeah, but that's not really our job, plus I wouldn't exactly call what you're doing, miracles-- sooner disasters, catastrophies--"

"I would say it is our job, we're interference Gods, remember? And besides, the more disasters I perform, as you call them, the more miracles you have to make, to maintain the balance...am I right?"

"Whatever, whatever...but the incident with the air plane was just plain tacky, Faust. Really, that was too obvious, too unimaginative--"

"Don't worry, Oktava, it'll get better...or rather worse, eh?"

"Know what, Faust, there's only one thing you're really good at."

"What's that, Oktava?"

"Giving me a ton of reasons why I should look forward to Dust Day."

"Always a pleasure. And do you know what you're good at?"

"What?"

"Bad matchmaking."

"Shut up."
