[THE HAN RIVER. He may not know what it is but he likes nature so this works... He'll give a little nod of greeting as he makes his way over.]

I did. They seem very passionate about guns.

[Wizard guns...]

[disingenuous]

[ she doesn't shrug, but her tone of voice is a huge shrug. ]

It must have been something big in another game. It doesn't make it read any less ridiculous.

[nascens]

That's about what could be expected from this farce.

[JUST NONSENSE ACHIEVEMENTS.]

We already had a clear picture of what they're looking for with the first set, and it's sticking to the pattern.

[disingenuous]

[ she doesn't sigh, but she does seem mildly affronted. ]

I'll leave it to the others to dig enough to match the pattern.

[nascens]

[A little, lackadaisical shrug.]

I'm sure some will be twisting themselves into knots trying to figure out the underlying meanings of every little thing.

[disingenuous]

Better them than me. It'll occupy them for a while.

[nascens]

What will you do in the meantime, with all that time freed?

[disingenuous]

Be unbothered by those things.

[ what else? ]

[nascens]

True enough.

[Just vibe by the Han river about it...]

What do you anticipate from next week?

[disingenuous]

Other than the routine murder and something that'll affect us? [ the weekly effect, she means. ] There's usually some kind of new information that'll come up, isn't there? Either from the dead or from something that'll be found.

[nascens]

Is there? [HE CAME FROM A GAME WITH NO PLOT.] I suppose I'll see how that looks here, then.

[disingenuous]

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW THERE WAS NO PLOT OUTSIDE OF TRYING TO DRINK WITH SATAN. ]

Was there nothing of that sort in Hell?

[nascens]

[Shaking his head.]

I've been told it was common in other "games" to figure out that some other, bigger thing was in motion, but it isn't as though we had anything to gather little hints or clues about.

[disingenuous]

In some ways, that would have made it easier with one less thing for everyone to stress over, but on the other hand, having to go through eight weeks of trial for....

[ for what? a drinking party? it's not the greatest trade off, and alex is someone whose company she's fine with. ]

[nascens]

A drinking party. [YEAH!] Though there was a second chance at life tied up in the stakes of winning against Satan.

[Him showing up here like damn yall got wishes?]

[disingenuous]

That could be worth it to some.

[ people who really want to live.... that could be comparable to a wish. ]

[nascens]

[Couldn't be his ass.]

It's certainly not a normal, everyday occurrence. Some would likely still feel soured knowing there were others out there who endured the same length of idiotic trials and walked away with more for it.

[disingenuous]

[ not everyone deletes their existence from irminsul ]

Are you one of those? What more would you have wanted?

[nascens]

[EVERYONE GET ON HIS LEVEL.]

I'm not. I can achieve the things I aim to achieve without any wishes, and I don't particularly care that anyone else here received them.

[If people need a wish to get their shit together, that's on them!!]

[disingenuous]

[ instead he took the hand of a sketchy doctor??? ]

That much confidence in your own abilities, I see.

[nascens]

[It appears to be a theme...]

If I didn't have this much confidence in them, I could hardly call myself a god.

[disingenuous]

Another one of you, I see. And what are you the god of?

[nascens]

There does seem to be an abundance of us in places like this. Hell was crawling with them.

[THERE WERE SO MANY GODS IN HELL AND FOR WHAT.]

Not of anything so specific as the hearth or the void, if that's what you expect from gods. [WHY IS THE VOID THERE.] My domain is wisdom and knowledge.

[disingenuous]

[ so many gods dying.... for what

no, no. void makes as much sense as anything else. it exists. ]

Wisdom and knowledge? [ she keeps her thought to herself on that one. ] Your choice, or something that just happens?

[ she doesn't know how godhood works. ]

[nascens]

[SO MANY GODS DYING... for fun.

It does exist. So does hearth. Those gods are not him, but in at least one case, they are better than he is. Also LISTEN HERE listen. It really is so funny.]

It's what I inherited.

[Like, partially, and through murder.]
