Sort of like my father has his Old Guy and the Demon, now I'm stuck with an angel talking to a cop in a bar. Only it's nowhere near as interesting. The cop (and the reader) needs some exposition, and the angel wants to provide it, but it's still a big ol' chunk of history/mythology. I'm left looking at it going "What if anything can I make another home for? Does it really all have to be right here?" I mean, we're dealing with a recounting of the "real" story of the fall of man, and the reasons why the mean nasties are doing mean and nasty things. The cop needs it in order to go left when he would have otherwise gone right, but it's still slow and rather dry. Maybe I'll try shuffling things around and see if there's anywhere between point A, where the cop exits a preceding scene at the end of his workday, and point C, where he turns left instead of right, that a lull would fit better.
