Hadriel.
[His address begins in a straightforward tone. The issues of the past few months are behind them, and they've eked out survival for awhile longer. Sorrow isn't optimistic, but he's not inclined to give up, either. He makes plans, he executes them, he lets things fall into place.
Which is the reason for this.]
Now that most of you know the truth, and now that it has been shown that these creatures will truly follow us to the ends of creation, I have decided to send two of us to scout the location we left behind and intercept with the forces of the machines there. Their purpose would be to gather information- how these inorganics continue to find us, how we might be able to thwart their technology in an attempt to escape for good.
Of the eight of us, there are four pairs which work better together than others. Hope has asked me to let you decide who is to go, but I warn you to consider your options carefully. The gods who leave will not have any events until they return, so we'll throw a large one for their departure.
[Sorrow takes a deep breath. Onto the selection.]
Hope and myself could go. This would leave you without replenishing food and water, as well as limited methods of revival... Hope is valuable, and I would do everything in my power to protect him, and I can also ensure that we're not discovered.
Your second option would be Confusion and Tranquility. The two of them are our builders, and without them, the city will not be repaired and their various contributions will not be functional. Confusion would be adept at avoiding capture, though detection is another story.
Thirdly are Fear and Love. Fear... [He sighs.] Fear operates best in the shadows, though he's still weakened- however, if he leaves, it will mean that we'd be left vulnerable if attacked again, as none of the rest of us can move the city. Love themself is... well, perhaps they can be used as a distraction if Fear needs to escape.
[Sorry, Love.]
Finally, you have Delight and Rage. Since Delight is no longer maintaining the bar, your only significant losses with both of them would be the ongoing deals any of you may have with each of them. The two of them are our most accomplished fighters and would be able to wrestle themselves out of an unfavorable situation, given the power they'd take on from their final event.
[So that's that.]
I welcome any questions you may have.

This cave also has a lake, with water that could likely be purified by one of the remaining gods as part of an ongoing deal.

What kind of deal? Do multiple people make deals for that kind of thing? [ Here you are, Sorrow, polite as can be, and Caroline's impatient as hell for answers. ...Sorry? ]
no subject
They can. Or they can negotiate an ongoing payment in exchange for water. It depends on the god they'd like to proposition and how they can raise the energy necessary for that god to create.
no subject
So everything around here is even more complicated than just what you're presenting us with today? [ Her head tilts, two seconds away from just Being Done with this. Impatience and frustration sure are vices, huh? ] Good to know. [ She takes a breath. ] You're up for questions now. Are you all the time? Because there are probably better times to ask certain things. Like, when I'm not this annoyed. [ Why not just be honest, huh, Caroline? ]

And, good luck, since...I guess we're...in this together? [ Not that that's by her choosing, and she doubts it's Sorrow's either, but that doesn't make her any less testy as her lips press together with a nod before she shuts the video off. ]
