WOJ search for Uriel/Odin deal for Murphy.

WOJ:"No not really. They can get roped into it. I mean if they've already got a claim somewhere else that's different. In which case Odin has to make a deal of some kind, it's like "I know you had plans for this guy and all Anubis but I really need him for the rest of the mortals" and that's the kind of thing that can happen. Very confused people occasionally wake up in Valhalla.

Thank you so much. I knew there was something like that out there and was frustrated that I couldn't find it. Perhaps I extrapolated that WOJ to the case for Murphy.
Also Sibellis, your reference is what I had remembered and why I posted this topic looking for that exact one. I'm thinking there is good reason to think there actually is a WOJ about Murphy's catholic heritage and the afterlife.

One wonders if Murphy made herself vulnerable to be taken by Odin when she spent so much time
training with the Einherjaar. After she left the police force she was adrift. After Harry seemingly died I think she also became disillusioned about her faith, she seemed to have found a purpose when she started doing some work with Odin. If she hadn't been dismissed from the police force and had remained a practicing Catholic I doubt she would have woken up in Valhalla.

I think this is part of Uriel and/or Odin pulling another fast one.
As part of Uriel's "spook squad" (running under her dad's office), she gets to work directly against the plans of the Fallen, in realtime/now, without waiting for the Einherjar "beyond living memory" to kick in.
But as one of Odin's soldiers... well, as it happens, she gets that shiny new Einherjar body.
Odin and Uriel roll their eyes helplessly and go "Mortals, sheesh... wotcha gonna do?"
(ya gotta use your imagination to see the wink&nod passing between them... but it's there)

At the level of power happening in the DF series at this point, all the viable characters are "superheroes."
Mortals aren't gonna survive, in the field in close proximity to Dresden; even the Alpha's are deprecated, now...
But I got no problem with that evolution of Murphy, if that's how(ish) Jim writes it. Give Murphy some supernatural agency, threading the Odin+Uriel needle... hell yeah!
