This is exhausting. You are all exhausting, with your constant need for food and water and not dying.

I could use a break. There are too many monsters in the caves, and keeping them in takes more of my power than I'd like. If you'd be so kind as to kill a few for me, I can offer you rewards in return, including some blessings. Besides, I'm sure you have some anger to work out after Fear's ridiculous stunt with the coffins.

And if anyone has any suggestions as to how I could conserve some power, I'd appreciate it. You don't need to eat every day, do you? That seems excessive.

Of course, you're welcome to do so if you'd like. Less work for me. Just don't eat anything that'll kill you.

You got a list of what's poisonous and what not?

[Not that he has to worry about that, but he's more concerned with the general populace.]

[lingeringhope]

No. I don't even know how most of your digestive systems work, exactly, and some of you seem to have different tolerances than others. But don't worry. If you die, I'll bring you back.

[Helpful!]

[synthedick]

[Helpful, indeed.]

Does it take as much energy to bring us back as it does to figure out what'll kill us if we eat it?

[text]

[lingeringhope]

Probably less. After all, I would need to experiment by having someone eat it, and then what if they died multiple times?

[synthedick]

I'm surprised you gods don't have all the answers.

[text]

[lingeringhope]

No one does.

You learn something new everyday.

[lingeringhope]

I am always happy to teach people new things.

[synthedick]

That's not why we're here, is it?

[text]

[lingeringhope]

No, but you might as well learn while you are.

[synthedick]

[If only sarcasm and sighing translated through text.]

Right. I'll see what I can do in regards to these monsters, but I'm sure there are others who'd be more than happy to do the dirty work for you.

[lingeringhope]

I don't see why you can't all do it.

Some of us would rather avoid violence unless it's absolutely necessary.

[text]

[lingeringhope]

Hmm. I can understand that. Many of you seem to enjoy it, though.

[text]

[synthedick]

Some of us got our fill of it long before coming here.

[text]

[lingeringhope]

I'm not forcing anyone to participate.

[text]

[synthedick]

No, you're just thinking about how people don't need to eat every day.

[lingeringhope]

It seems that they do, which is quite inconvenient.
