Where: Shrine area, particularly at Eizon's shrine
What:

[ Pass by the shrine area this morning and you'll catch sight of a certain electricdick god waiting patiently for his... shrine's shadow? Which just then twists and rises to form a pedestal, atop which sits a dark tablet. ]

The report, Master.

[Upset-looking girl? Check.]

It's always been useless to talk to them.

...Um. It's a little embarrassing to say this, but I meant to the dragons.

So don't bother, then. Help me build a generator instead. Or else fix the solar panels, if that's even possible just now.

[Shaky voice. How does he do anger?]

Well you gods owe that to us. I don't care if everyone in Thusia asks the same question you owe us at least that much!

... "talking" to them...

[Mikado, even I'm side-eying you]

Speaking of, aren't nomadic types the ones least likely to flourish in population?

Not to undermine how well they survive through the ages but...

...Please don't look at me that way, Izaya-san. We're in a world where people have all sorts of powers, there could be some kind of... ah... reptilian empath that could ask them to leave.

... you are aware that all of this nature seems genetically imprinted to target us? In fact, that was sort of the point, supposedly. If one were to believe the gods here.

[SUFFICIENT DISTRACTION]

You— They can talk?

...It was worth a shot.

Er... I can't talk to them, but if there's someone that could...

It's a creative idea and possibly sending those who berserk into a dragon form at those dragons might have results, but unless we tame the god who has control over these things, we likely won't have control over either side.

...Izaya-san, are you trying to bring Masaomi-san into this?

[oh you]

Do you really think a building within a day's walk would be outside the habitat of hundreds of these creatures?

Not to mention their monstrous matriarch, who likely has some sort of domain over this entire jungle.

Restoring the power cores.

I can confidently saying we would be moving ourselves out of an area that has gained enough problems to exceed it's worth. If these dragons had not moved in, yes, this place would still be fine. But cycles of nature and all that. And to put it frankly, now that the population of people-eating predators has increased dramatically, those lost are likely as good as dead already. What reason is there to punish the living with a place where they can't go outside without almost certainly dying?

I don't like your combination of stupid questions and arrogant lip.

You can take care of them in whatever way you like. Apparently you seem under the impression that a few of these beasts is nothing to fret over, so why don't you worry about the half dozen of so indoors and I will worry about the many dozens out.

[hm]

A generator would do better, though at the moment the fuel for it will be risky to obtain.

No, I do not. Believe me, I keep very good track of my debts, and coddling your insecurities is not among them. If you wish for that, go to Dellen.

However long it would ordinarily take. Your powers to rest and regenerate have not been impaired.

Hm?

Ah, no. There was another person besides him who berserked into a dragon. They went on a rampage that destroyed an area of Level 3. Which I think you've seen the remnants of... people died.

Would it? Well, the longer we remain, the riskier our situation becomes regardless. We may as well go for broke now before things become out of hand.

I'm not sure there's anyone who can.

I'm sorry, were you expecting me to treat you differently from the gods that I've known previously?

I worry more about the idea that we'll always be on the move because we're apparently too weak to handle them ourselves and have to always rely on the gods. A population that is weak does not thrive and does not survive.

It's the safest route. This place is not very suitable for colonizing to begin with.
