Librarians are experts on written language, aren't they?

[body_language]

*...you know, he just doesn't have the heart*

Often. Perhaps your library was simply unusual.

[librorian]

[getting more nervous]

Ah. It was ... nothing really special ...

[body_language]

*sighs*

...I'm sorry, I seem to have somehow been rude and I have no idea how. Perhaps we should change the subject, if you'd be more comfortable.

[librorian]

[nods. and bows very slightly.]

My name is Aidan.

[body_language]

*returns it*

Dekarta; a pleasure to meet you.

[librorian]

Mm. This place is called Thusia.

[body_language]

I can't say it's exactly what I expected from a heaven or a hell.

[librorian]

It is neither.

[body_language]

*raised eyebrow*

Then...?

[librorian]

The gods here claim that we are here to rebuild civilization.

[body_language]

And they're using dead souls to do it? An odd choice.

[librorian]

I don't know why they made that decision.

[body_language]

There would be certain advantages, now that I think of it. Energy being one of them -- not to mention that local gods are less likely to object.

[librorian]

... they are the local gods.

[body_language]

Of the worlds where they found their recruits, I mean.

[librorian]

[horrified]

I would object!

[body_language]

...ah. I'd wondered. Lord Aiden, then.

On my world the gods have very little to do with the afterlife. The soul simply goes to whichever heaven or hell best suits it -- all of them created by the gods, but not overseen, if you understand me.

[librorian]

[shiiit]

I - I did not mean - in my world the souls return to the planet, where they may be reincarnated or otherwise recycled into life once more - I am not a god!

[body_language]

*blinks a bit*

I won't speak of it to anyone if you wish, but -- and I mean no disrespect -- you're not a very good liar.

[librorian]

[mrrrhgh]

It is more difficult than it looks.

[body_language]

It takes some practice.

[librorian]

[still rigid as all hell]

I did not lie about not being a god. I am merely human now.

[body_language]

*quietly*

I'm sorry. Someone I was very close to was in the same situation.

[librorian]

They were? How--?
