Hey folks -
there appears to be a dead angel in Gil's freezer, and he needs the room.

Can we have some thoughts on the best means of angel corpse disposal, please?

Raph wants to cut his head off and set fire to the body. Gil wants to plant him in the vegtetable plot to get everything off to a good start. Any other ideas?

Burying him and hoping for fertiliser won't do any good - an angel's body won't decay.

I don't think there's any possible better fertilizer than decomposing angel. :) And personally, I agree with Gil's philosophy of returning the body to become one with the earth.

John is mumbling in my ear something about cutting up the body and selling the parts, but let's not listen to him, shall we? (*wink*)

We could get the skeleton and hang it from the ceiling. What's a bar without a dangling skeleton? Plus we could hang it so it's really inconveniently placed and people keep bumping into it. Great conversation starter. Or fainting-inducer, I guess.

If angels have skeletons, anyway.

Hmmm, how can Gil and Raph find this out before it's too late? Should they give him a nice wash and then sit him at the end of the bar with a shot glass in his hand and a sign saying "Does anyone know this angel?" and he could be a convesation piece like Jeremy Bentham even if people only scream "WTF?"

Well, if it doesn't decay, as Crowley suggests, it'd be even MORE fun to hang from the ceiling. Like taxidermy, without any effort. And the cats could play with it.

XD

Suggest getting one of the ethereal beings who can still fly (Lucifer, Gabriel, possibly Micheal) to lift him up into the sky and burn him with hellfire/holy fire. Seems fitting.

YOU KNOW ABOUT JEREMY BENTHAM. YAY.

(Spent a year at Univ. College London, quite enjoyed walking past Jeremy every time I had to go to the library.)

We are a twisted, twisted group. XD

Like a warning. "This is what happens when you piss off the bartender."

I like Gil's suggestion above. It reminds me of a fairy tale.

Or we could have Weekend At Bernie's-esque hijinks.

I'm not quite sure what rates as disrespectful around here, but that's almost too charming of an image to pass up.

See? See?
I told you fire was the way to go!

Don't know which suggestion you're referring to; however, I tend to recall a distinct lack of fairy tales featuring angelic corpses propped up at bars, so I'm assuming it's the former.

Ew, but could we really in good conscious eat those rhubarbs?

(you're right, it is creepily fairtale-like. i'm sure anthy would really enjoy watering them roses)

this ragbag of a brain has an astonishingly broad range of total bollocks in it. and yes, yay for jeremy even if his head has fallen off.

or conscience, even *headdesk*

well, my cats certainly would

Well, it was a little dead boy, not an angel. His stepmother had cut off his head, and she put it back on and tied a hankerchief around his neck so you couldn't tell.

But now you've gone and put ideas in Anthy's head. She's wondering if human flesh makes good fertilizer.

Cats love corpses!

I think there's a version of that story with a girl and a yellow ribbon, too.

Oh, it would totally be like that Sandra Bullock movie where they kill Goran Visjnic, which I probably spelled wrong, and bury him in the bushes. And the roses grow overnight, but they're eeeeeeeevil roses.

Now that's what we need more of in Milliways: evil cursed angelic roses.

There's a fairly good wax head there, and the poor man's wearing gloves, so you can't tell how markedly the wax head differs from the skin color of the rest of the body. (Apparently it turned purple due to some messed up embalming or something.)

I do approve of the idea of having the angel corpse sitting around with the glass in its hand. Besides, that opens the way for the player to stop by once in a while and animate his corpse for us.

Shame really. Imagine the tomatoes he could grow.

Oh my god, this thread is depraved.

*loves it*

I say we bury it with a bible at its feet in a sack in the river. Old burial-at-sea trick.

Yeah, it's the same idea, though a different plot. Though I've only heard that one with a green ribbon.

Well, we've already got evil cursed roses. Not sure what effect added angel would have, but it would be interesting. /mad ~~doctor~~ rose grower

Shall we have a vote on it? all those for angelic fire, rhubarb tart, propping him up at the bar or one of the more creative ideas please raise your hands?

But won't the Giant Squid keep retrieving it for us?
