[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))

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

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

So you're never safe is the gist?

Pretty much.

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

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

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

Oh really? How do you know something like that?

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.

Thousands? [riiiiiiiiiiiight]

He's a god.

Gods tend to live a long time.

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

[

...]

They're... like the deities here.

So douche bags?

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.

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

You did ask what a god was.

[Johanna just grins.]

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

It seem to be implied from the conversation at hand.

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

[Johanna didn't think so, but whatever. She points to her own shoulder to indicate there is something on his.]

Looks like someone else wants to say hello.

[Theo is running on paranoia overload.]

Hum? Oh, that's Jasper.

[The rat blinks its one eye at Johanna and reaches up a skeletal paw to place it on Theo's ear.]

Jake is around here somewhere...

[Johanna has seen some fucked up creatures before in the arena, so the undead rat doesn't faze her.]

Jake another one like Jasper?

[That's good. It bothers a lot of people.]

Yeah. But it's shyer than Jasper.

[Hey, it's not trying to kill her, it's all good.]

Watch your master's back, little guy. He seems to need it.

Oh, you have no idea!

They really are out to get me.

Oh I can see that! You're just worth getting all their attention. [JOHANNA IS JUST LAUGHING SO HARD INSIDE.]
