Chapter 16: Diego or Moses

The fall of Jodocus Mansion

Diego or Moses is Chapter 16 of Joey's Special Experience.

## Summary

God and Joost fall from the roof in a super cinematic slow motion scene. Joost reflects on how his father killed him and it would supposedly give him power. God brags about how buff he is as the two of them casually talk about food. God clings to a wall as he leaves Joost to fall - he knows she’ll survive as he says he will see her again. And actually suggests drinking - a little, at least. He also suggests to cry tears of happiness about her piece of shit father. God then talks about how he actually revived Joost that one time (probably the time when Joost burned, not the drowning).

Joost tries desperately to stop falling, though still being calm enough to think about money and make a your mama joke. Using a belt, he reaches God and pushes him back down, proudly proclaiming that Joost is in fact back, boys. As they reject God’s article submission for a newspaper or magazine or something, Joost prepares to stab God as they ask if he has a father. Joost is also pissed off that God picked up the habit of using random US states as battle cries, as she talks about how he hates tea to prove she is more American than him (not knowing he was looking for coffee earlier). The two continue talking about random stuff like movies and insurance and advertising on their way to Hell together, with God continuing to flirt - just a normal day in the Jodocus household.

They eventually reach the floor (how tall is this mansion) as God is stabbed by a statue and lit on fire. He continues talking about random shit before realizing that he may actually be dying, which makes him very hyped (although he may not actually be dying). He then realizes how nice the house is, a bit late considering it’s not lasting much longer. Watching from outside, Fast Ambulance worries that Joost is going to die, and he can’t handle the thought of that, considering his simp levels are over 9,000. Then Joost bursts out of a window, and Fast Ambulance realizes he was thinking of the wrong anime, because this is totally a Naruto reference. Joost declares that destroyed mansion would be great to rent out to people, as Fast Ambulance switches from taking photos of the scene to live-streaming.

## Lore notes

* Joshar killed Joost more than once, supposedly to make Joost stronger. It is unknown how true this claim is. If it only works when someone burns to death, then Joshar is just an awful person who likes seeing his son suffer.
* After Joost was burned to death, God revived him, similarly to how he revived Dariusz. It’s revealed that God’s revival abilities are powered by him getting Christmas presents, like a reverse Santa Claus of sorts. This could also relate to the birth of Jesus and the Three Wisemen who gave him presents. One interpretation, according to Wikipedia (the most reliable source), states that “the three gifts had a spiritual meaning: gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense (an incense) as a symbol of deity, and myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death.” These could all relate to different forms of power, implying that maybe death does make one more powerful.
* God seemingly quotes Joshar and his evil motivations - hurting those already hurt by society at large.
* Please stop with the JSE is a video game / simulation theories, God himself just disproved it, this world is real! Also I just think these theories are lame.
* Joost can fly. Just not that high.
* Joost and/or God do not work part time. How busy are these people with all those jobs?
* In a way, Joost may be correct about questioning if God has a father. He wasn’t born in the conventional way, after all.
* God wonders if there is advertising space in Joost’s country (the US). He obviously has never been there.
* Joost used to fish but stopped. I wonder if fish still fear him.
* There was a film about God called “The Toy.” It didn’t do well but God still got more movies made about him afterwards.
* Joost is the winner!
