[She's put this off for like a week, thinking it was best to not incite anger, or to bring attention to herself, but it just keeps coming back to bother her. Ellie can't let it go.
The sweater she's sporting perhaps isn't the best thing to be taken seriously in (thanks, evil trees laden with fun shirts!) but anyone who knows Ellie will recognise that fire in her eyes. She's dead serious.]
You know, you can direct all the righteous anger you want to at the gods, and that's fucking fine, I get it even, but have you considered that spending less time arguing with them and more time working towards solutions to all this shit is probably a good idea? Fuck.
It seems like some of you are just totally fine with them dying, and I- you- [Maybe she should have planned this out better. Distress seeps into her voice, and she chokes up a little, but presses on.] I mean, don't you get it? There are people here who aren't even alive back home. A lot of them. If this place goes up in flames, if they gods die, they go nowhere. I'm not letting that happen.
And to this fucking lying scumbag, whoever you are? If you are one of us- I'll find you.
[That didn't go as smoothly or sound as eloquent as she'd hoped for. Ellie switches the video off with more force than is probably necessary.
Incredibly, she doesn't feel much better.]

I know this sounds like a total question dodge, but it's too big a problem for me to work out on my own. That's kinda why it's so important people pull their heads outta their asses. Maybe if we were all, I don't know, collectively channeling our powers into the right gods at the right times we wouldn't need to worry about the Null. Like imagine everyone in the city powering Fear at the same time. Shit, I bet he could move us so far away they'd never find us again.
[She doesn't, in fact, know any of this for sure.]

[He doesn't really know how to channel powers at this point, or what kind of sacrifice it would take to make something named for fear powerful enough to lead them to safety. But the idea is more than he has himself. It's a start, whether it works or not, and Evan's clearly willing to entertain the possibility.]
Have you done anything like that before?
no subject
Not... exactly. Whenever a certain god needs power, they kind of make it happen themselves. Create something that will inspire the right emotion in us to power them. But it doesn't always affect everyone, or it's like- I don't know, just not as powerful as I bet something organized with our input would be.
