No, it's not a punishment. Segef requested the
second vessel.
The Malakite's reasoning
is fairly sound; while having a vessel made out of Christmas tree lights
arranged in a three-dimensional pattern vaguely shaped like an angel may be a
touch... outré, for one month out of
the year it doesn't look out of place anywhere
in the
Plus, Segef can unravel
his shape and attack miscreants. That's
fun, too, for given Malakite values of 'fun'.
The Malakite is fairly new to corporeal duty; he
only fledged about twenty years or so ago, and this is his second tour of duty
on Earth. For eleven months out of the
year, he acts as a general handyman and foot soldier for various American
Tethers (mostly Lightning's, but not exclusively so); the twelfth, he sits,
listens and generally waits for whatever specific event that he's supposed to
be waiting for that season. Sometimes it
happens; sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes
something else simply too good to pass up happens instead.
The major item of interest about Segef
is that he's an angel that identifies strongly with a religion - in this case,
one of the major Lutheran sects of Christianity (due to a particular blessed
soul's interaction during the Malakite's time as a
reliever). This has confused his
superiors to no end; when asked about the reconciliation of his adopted faith's
beliefs with objective reality, Segef has calmly
pointed out that no human religion has a monopoly on Truth, that atheism is not
precisely a viable theological position for any angel to take and that he was
personally comfortable with his choice.
This did not exactly answer the question, but then, it was a bit of an
impertinent question to begin with, so the matter was dropped. Still, Segef does
try to act like a good Missouri Synod Lutheran.
