New god intro!

Who: Mortals, gods
When: Day 13, afternoon
Where: Shrine Room
What: The other kind of new arrivals.

[a teenaged girl with intricately braided hair and dressed in sandals, a flowy, brightly-patterned skirt, and a short-sleeved sweater that looks like it was made of the leftovers of a million other sweaters, is pacing the shrine room, twisting a loop of yarn strung between her hands. A pile of reddish sand seems to move around, following her.]

Perhaps away from the corner...

Because you're the one that said it. Unless you were just talking to hear your own voice, you should just say what you mean.
oi_theoi: (Kain | uhhh i'll get back to you on that)

[waving his hand back and forth] Of course I know why I say it, I want to know what you think it means. Interpretation after assimilation- knowledge isn't just knowing what, it's knowing why.
blackshadow: Neutral expression. (light blue [:|])

[ Ugh... Reminding him of someone else he knew now. Going by what they were talking about before, he guesses- ]

All right, all right... Assuming you didn't want to derail, you were probably trying to say that people just arrive at the answer that suits them best.
oi_theoi: (Kain | good idea)

[personal profile] oi_theoi 2012-01-18 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
People arrive at an answer yes...but what about you? Have you given up living while you are here? Are you absolutely hopeless?
blackshadow: Looking over at something with surprise/interest. (oh hey [:o])

[personal profile] blackshadow 2012-01-18 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little baffled.]

Of course I'm not hopeless--and I'm not going to give up living, either. How did you even arrive at that?
oi_theoi: (Kain | uhhh i'll get back to you on that)

[personal profile] oi_theoi 2012-01-18 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
But why? If you claim this is all a farce and a game of control, that the gods here and from your world are playing games with your life, why continue? Why not just give up living?
blackshadow: Looking forward almost suspiciously. (bringing it all back again [:|])

[personal profile] blackshadow 2012-01-18 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I'm not accepting that. Even if this isn't real and you deities are just playing with us, that doesn't mean everything we do is meaningless. Knowing I'm being played with isn't the same as accepting it.
oi_theoi: (Kain | this will all make sense in a sec)

[leaning forward and poking a pencil at him, looking quite pleased]

See? No matter where you are, you find the core inside of you that matters. Where you are isn't as important as what you do with yourself once you're there. Because if life was as simple as just eating and breathing, there would be no need to keep living. [looking him straight in the eyes with simple placidity]

You find yourself back at what matters to you, don't you?
