((Ever so slightly backdated to yesterday.))

Attention, citizens of the City. This is god, otherwise known as Naoi Ayato, speaking.

Utsuho Reiuji-san is the one most beloved among you to your god. She is under my care and protection here and you are not to lay claim to, dishonour, offend, or harm her in any way, lest you be forced to realize that you are lower than a termite and be forced to despair in your own uselessness by comparison; crawling on the ground and eating dust will be a suitable punishment before you are given the chance to reflect on your transgression.

Send her many blankets and warm scarves! But I will be the one to deliver them to her, because you are not worthy of speaking to her, scum.

As much as it pains me to exist in a City occupied by so many idiots, I think that I wouldn't mind staying... even just a little while longer. [That was a touch sentimental, while the rest was possessive and ridiculous in a more typically Naoi fashion, so he quickly ends the feed.]

You're god? What are you doing here?

Testing the waters.

Are you the one responsible for bringing us all here, then?

No.

For god to be trapped in a place like this . . .

It's either you aren't god, or we're dealing with something else!

Our idiot count has increased by one, I see. [Naoi sighs, adjusting his hat.]

We're dealing with multiple Deities.

You see, you said "god", not "a god" or even "one of your gods".

Well, I'm not surprised that you think I'm an idiot. No helping it, is there?

The City has a great number of intelligent and reasonable individuals.

...You have taken Reiuji-san under your care? Or is this just the curse speaking?

[With all his arrogant braying, she is inclined to take a look at just who and what he really is...]

Of course, but such dignified people are a rarity, Shikieiki-sama! [He's not going to be particularly disrespectful to her because she's been helpful to him.] In a certain way, but...

[At the mention of curses, he does look troubled, however.] Then, you mean, this is—

I didn't even feel it! Is there something inside of me, taking over and making me say these things...?! [He sounds angry, but the look in his eye shows fear.]

[She nods, faintly. He seems to be so frightened of outside influence -- he had a similar response last time the curses were talked about -- so she will leverage that to hopefully drill in the point.]

Yes. Others today are posting similar messages to yourself. There is magic in the City, that has taken hold of your mind and is influencing your drives.

W-what...?!

Just when I was starting to—

[He can't even be sure these thoughts are his own anymore! He's terrified and he drops the communicator, backing away from it with uncoordinated, uneasy steps.

The communicator clatters on the floor and just his silhouette can be seen in the corner as he's holding his head. He's taking quick, short breaths like he's starting to cry, panicked.] Get it out...! GET IT OUT!! [Considering the nature of his own powers, it's rather ironic that he himself has such an issue with it.]

[...This will be over relatively soon in the grand scheme of things, the curse, but she didn't expect such a massive reaction from him.]

Ayato-san, calm down. I understand that it is frightening -- I have felt its power also -- but you must simply wait for it to end, and it will. Likely it will only last for a day.

One day means little in the face of a lifetime. This too shall pass.

Here in the City, this is a fact of life.

No! I can't— I don't want to!

I don't want to be written out again!

I— ... I... [He's terrified, but he's stopped screaming at least.

There's a heavy sound as he falls to his knees just off-screen and he goes quiet for a long moment.]

I understand.

[just. watching this with his eyebrows raised. chin in hand.]

So, which god are you, then?

One that helps the souls of dead children pass on.

Ah- a bittersweet task, I'd imagine. I don't envy you your divinity.

[pause- WAIT A MINUTE]

We aren't all of us dead, are we?

Hmph, how should I know?

This isn't the afterlife judging by how scared people are of dying here.

Well, you called yourself our god, so it was a natural assumption!

Small comfort, I suppose.

Hm. You look a bit young to be god.

Do you wish I were old and grey? You're already halfway there, I see.

It can't be helped. The world I came from was populated by the souls of deceased children.

[The corner of his mouth twitches]

Sounds... morbid.

Really? I haven't even told you how they're all effectively immortal for their stay there, so joking about death is common there.

[You're lucky he didn't start talking about exposed viscera! Morbid is putting it lightly.]

... I'm glad I'm not from your world.

Forgive me for assuming, but aren't you a soldier?
