Who: Dellen and you!
When: Day 5, late evening, into night
Where: Shrine room
What: Come talk to the gods I guess

[Sometime in the late evening, probably after dinner has been had and when people are trying to figure out where to flop down and roll over for the night, if you go into the shrine room you will find a weary, but pleased, slightly unearthly woman sitting on the sandstone slab of her shrine]


((OOC: I will be in and out all day, but I will also be replying all day whenever I am in! So, slowish, basically.

Also other gods are welcome to pop in here.))

Yeah, I got it.

[oi_theoi]

I'm sorry if you feel you have been cheated from your rightful afterlife. But it was a risk we had to take, and you were not brought here specifically.

[gonnariverdance]

So you're just yankin' any yahoo here and then forcin' 'em to pay you tribute just to get by?

[oi_theoi]

That is the way of our world, what was necessary to 'just get by' where you come from?

[gonnariverdance]

It sure as hell wasn't payin' anything to gods that we didn't give half a shit about.

[oi_theoi]

Oh? I find it unlikely that you have never paid for a thing you did not wish, simply because of the design of your world and shape of your economy. The nature of my children makes them quite prone to these mechanics.

[gonnariverdance]

Lady, I'm not one of your children.

[oi_theoi]

All humans are my children.

[gonnariverdance]

The god that made my kind where I'm from up and walked away so we could face down the apocalypse on our lonesome. You don't want to claim that position.

[oi_theoi]

I am truly sorry to hear that, and I cannot reach your world to take that position if I wished. But you are here, now, this is my world, you live because of my power, you are mine, and I will not ask you to face anything alone.

[gonnariverdance]

And if I don't wanna be yours?

[oi_theoi]

I've had rebellious children before.

[gonnariverdance]

I'm not gonna say this again. I ain't your child.

[oi_theoi]

You may say it as much as you wish, you can not more choose this than you can choose the color of the sky or the depth of the ocean.

[gonnariverdance]

I'm choosin' it whether you like it or not, lady.

[oi_theoi]

Then if you wish to survive on your own you may do so.

[gonnariverdance]

I plan on it!
