[Theo's grinning a bit with mad cheerfulness.]

I've been doing some thinking over the past couple of weeks. Especially about the whole revolution.

Personally, I'm not convinced it's real.

Oh, I know, there's been the protests and the people running it. The deities have their panties in a twist.

And yet, I have to wonder. The leaders of the revolution promise that they can send us home. It's a tempting bait. They say they can give us our powers back to their full level, a very tempting bait for those of us that have them and have had them... blocked.

But it's really something that only the deities could be able to do, isn't it?

So, what if this is really just one horribly grand ploy to a. figure out who really would try and fight against them. b. find out who is really loyal to them, for whatever reason. c. get rid of those said troublemakers with the excuse of keeping law and order within the city.

I've seen it happen before.

I mean they've been spying on us the entire time anyway. They just wanted to have an excuse since they seem to like the idea that they've got a well run and reasonable city. Of course then again they can probably just kill us all and this is being done for their own sadistic amusement.

Maybe they'll do that anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me.


((Paranoia curse? Well, yes. Because there's nothing more fun than spreading your own paranoid ramblings to everyone else))

I am willing to take a risk or two to get my friends out of jail here and be sent home.

Re: [Video]

[deadmanbusiness]

Or you could end up in jail with them.

Seems you have a lot on your mind. [And it amuses Johanna.]

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

If you've been through this sort of thing before, you just start to see patterns.

[video]

[not_like_the_rest]

So you're never safe is the gist?

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

Pretty much.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to hurt you or sell you something.

[video]

[not_like_the_rest]

Sounds like some good advice to me. Not sure about the selling though.

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

People are more likely to buy things if they feel safe. Especially luxury items.

[not_like_the_rest]

Oh really? How do you know something like that?

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

Back home my father owns probably the largest company on the planet and he's been in business for several thousand years.

You tend to pick things up.

[not_like_the_rest]

Thousands? [riiiiiiiiiiiight]

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

He's a god.

Gods tend to live a long time.

[not_like_the_rest]

What the fuck is a god? [No, seriously, she has no idea.]

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

[

They're... like the deities here.

[video]

[not_like_the_rest]

So douche bags?

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

Noo... I mean some of them are douche bags, of course.

But they're powerful beings that are in charge of a certain... aspect of life or the world. My uncle is the god of the moon. My father is the god of the dead.

[not_like_the_rest]

Can I be god of not giving a fuck? I'm good at that. I'm doing it right now.

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

You did ask what a god was.

[video]

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna just grins.]

Insecure much? I never said what I wasn't giving a fuck about.

Re: [video]

[deadmanbusiness]

It seem to be implied from the conversation at hand.

[Have an undead rat peering from over Theo's shoulder.]

[vengefully]

Yeah, that sounds like something they would do.

[deadmanbusiness]

Doesn't it? Why lull us into a false sense of security when they can terrify us all and get us to run around like chickens with our heads cut off?

[vengefully]

Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't put it past them really.

[deadmanbusiness]

Neither would I. Which is why I'm staying out of it.

[vengefully]

It's probably better that way especially if this is the deities own doing.
