[Oh hey it's one of those dudes in colored uniforms again. Violet this time. Once this one sits up, he starts ... staring at his hands with an expression somewhere between bewilderment and horror.]

[shrugs]

Take off your glasses.

[librorian]

Why would that help, exactly?

[reaches up for them]

[pyxising]

Because I don't wanna break 'em.

[waits until he takes them off, then punches :D . . . not hard by any means, but enough that he'll feel it]

[librorian]

[OW 8( staggers a bit, torn between pain and being completely weirded out]

That hurt!

[pyxising]

It usually does.

[librorian]

For humans, yes!

[pyxising]

Welcome to being human.

[librorian]

-- I am not human!

[pyxising]

I think I just proved you were.

[librorian]

With what? Pain and fatigue and ...

[squinting at him. he's nearsighted too.]

[pyxising]

[. . . yoinks glasses, puts them on him]

Needing glasses is a human thing, too.

[librorian]

[starting to freak out a little]

There has to be another explanation.

[pyxising]

Like what?

[librorian]

[sits down rather heavily]

I don't know. Another symptom of humanity.

[pyxising]

Symptom . . .

It ain't that bad.

[librorian]

These are all drawbacks. Why not call them symptoms?

[pyxising]

You'll get used to it.

[librorian]

I can't imagine how.

[pyxising]

Us humans manage just fine.

[librorian]

You've had several years of constant practice.

[pyxising]

I'd think a god would be able to adjust just fine, too.

[librorian]

............

You make an irritatingly clever point.

[pyxising]

I know.

[librorian]

I need information. About how to manage... this.

[gestures vaguely at himself]

[pyxising]

My best suggestion is to watch the rest of us. [shrugs] Kinda hard to explain how to be human and all.
