I am aware that the library was destroyed during the invasion of these, um, these Null creatures. But I wondered if there has been any effort at all to try and replenish any small part of it. Whether it be journals or essays or books...

[A pause as he awkwardly rubs a hand through his hair. He's never been that comfortable making public statements]

...would there be any interest in doing so? In writing and sharing writing on whatever it is you would be interested in writing about? And with that, are there any people here who currently have books in their possession that they would be willing to lend to another? With the promise that they would be kept safe, of course.

thats a good idea.
i dont have shit for books but i miss the library.
have u thought abt making a deal w. one of the gods to get it back? i bet they could hook us up w. some books.
prob nothing good. lmao. but better than nothing?

[drabsolutelynot]

I hadn't, actually. But I agree that would be something to consider.
How exactly would that transaction work?

[ghostlocked]

pick a god and ask em if theyll hook u up w. a library.
if its something theyre willing to do u have to pay for it. theyll ask u to do something for them.
i think its usually shit to generate w.e emotion they need. if u ask hope hes gonna want u to do shit that makes ppl feel hope. etc.
i made a deal w. love once.
they asked me to express my love for three ppl.
the gods need power to pull that kind of shit off. thats y they have u do shit for em. its an energy boost.

I will have to keep that in mind.

[The transaction seems simple enough, but Rosen finds something objectively perverse about the mining of emotions in the pursuit of a reward.

That and he's never been good at the whole 'emotions' thing to begin with. It gets too messy]

Can I ask what the scale of the thing you were asking for was? More specifically: how would it compare as a request to something like a library in terms of how difficult it'd be for the god in question to produce.

private

[It's a fair question. HH switches over to private.]

my bf died a few months ago.
it was during the null invasion and hopes energy was shot. when he brought michael back something was fucked up w. his head.
i asked love to fix it.
its not a big secret but i dont want to dish on his personal shit on a public network.
love said the request was tricky but not impossible. obvs. michaels fine now.
im not sure how that ranks against providing a library tho.
my gut says the library would be easier.

[drabsolutelynot]

I suppose... though that of course would depend on how well a god could navigate the inner workings of the brain.
It would also depend how the gods weigh certain kind of tasks. By size, by difficulty, by nature of the thing...

[ghostlocked]

love said our brains work very differently from theirs.
idk how they fixed michael but they did. hes back to normal.
the payment is based on difficulty.
it was with love anyway.
my end of the deal was meant to give them the energy to do the request.
other gods might weight it differently. idk.
