what.]

He just lets them go unanswered?

[sistocracy]

Oh, yes. Very often.

... Wait, do you actually try to answer every prayer directed your way?

[shiftingwinds]

I try to at least review them, or have a junior official do so and forward the most important ones to me. There are some that can't be answered, of course - people ask for things that aren't necessarily in my domain to give them, or that could cause problems if I did - but...

[she shrugs]

Being a god is my job. I wouldn't be a very good god if I ignored their prayers.

[sistocracy]

[lenore laughs a bit at that!]

That does sound like quite the occupation! I wondered what could possibly entice a god to participate in something like this, but perhaps you really needed a vacation.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, we gods have our problems too. And we all have things we want.

[she chuckles]

What of you, Miss Lenore? I can't help but be curious about what it was that borught you here...

[sistocracy]

Me? Hm... [she takes a sip of wine.]

There was a terrible war very recently, one which left chaos and destruction in its wake. It's... a lofty goal, but my sisters and I wish to restore peace and order to the land.

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx:]

That is a truly admirable goal - I wish you the best of luck.

[me, who is actually canon familiar: sqx would you please stop trusting people for five goddamn seconds please i'm begging you]

[sistocracy]

[where's the lie :)]

And you? What do you want from all of this?

[shiftingwinds]

Nothing so grand as that. There's a monster that's plagued me since before I ascended to godhood - I came here for the power to deal with it, since it's proven difficult to handle.

[she shrugs]

I want to stop it before it hurts someone I care about.

[sistocracy]

What kind of monster? Must be something incredible, if even a god struggles with it.

[shiftingwinds]

A parasitic, malicious ghosts that feeds on and grows stronger from fear.

...and even gods aren't immune to fear.

[sistocracy]

That does sound rather nasty. And gods really do have their weaknesses... Actually, that brings a philosophical sort of question to mind.

Can gods sin?

[shiftingwinds]

That is an interesting question.

[...]

Gods can be banished from the Heavens, so I'd say we can. And even if that wasn't the case, I've certainly been sinning since we arrived here.

[gluttony, and all...]

[sistocracy]

I see. It's comforting, in a way, to hear that divinity isn't necessarily perfection, like so many seem to believe.

Although... in that case, are you taking a risk by participating in all this?

[could she get banished for all this sinning?]

[shiftingwinds]

Anything is a risk, isn't it?

[buuuut... well, she'll think about that.]

Leaving aside the murder for a moment [because gods are 100% not meant to harm mortals] none of the other things we've been asked to do are things that I haven't seen other gods doing in the heavens.

Why, there's one god I know who could probably make Lust's entire team blush!

[sistocracy]

[Lenore pointedly looks down at the Lust tattoo on her own hand, then looks back to her, and laughs.]

Is that so? It seems the heavens are much livelier than I was led to believe.

[shiftingwinds]

[


i personally forgot about that.]

Ahaha... they most certainly are.
