So, uh, anybody seen any gods lately?

[No, this isn't the start of a shitty comedy set, it's the start of a shitty network post. Michael doesn't make these often; this might be his third in more than a year. But this situation seems to warrant it, and if no one else is talking about it yet... well. Someone's got to.]

I don't think it's a coincidence that the power's out, the water doesn't work, and those monsters are coming into the city whenever they feel like it.
That and, um, I haven't been able to contact any of the gods?
They don't show up in the temples, either.
I'm probably the last person to notice this, but I think something's, uh, pretty wrong here?

[Anyone familiar with him will know that this isn't a result of speech-to-text; he really does just type that way.]

Or I could be completely wrong and just missing them.
So, um, discuss I guess.
What's our plan if they really are gone?

so I noticed, but I'm waiting until the usual time the DOor opens. if it still works like clockwork, I think it would benefit us to go in there and see about controlling it

[basically he's not counting the gods out yet but if they can get control of the Door first, win!]

[aroundthecoroner]

Can we get in there without Sorrow?

[hot_mes]

we should, unless he or Fear blocked the path before we moved. which they might have, I don't know, I haven't been back there since.

I don't suggest just anyone traipse down there though, we have enough problems without someone hauling off and losing their damn mind right now

[aroundthecoroner]

I doubt they would've left it open.
They don't want us to have control of it, remember?
I'm not planning to go anywhere near it, though.

[Just having the effects of the Door in the city proved to be, uh, problematic for him.]

[hot_mes]

believe me I haven't forgotten. but Sorrow was pretty amenable to having some of us around so who knows. it's something no one can just take on assumption, someone will have to check it out

[he might, he might not. depends on how much he cares - and if he has time between hunting, salvage, and assisting everyone else with their little errands]

[aroundthecoroner]

It'll, uh, have to be someone else.
I kept away from it, so I don't exactly know where it was.
Even if they got rid of the door, someone who can teleport could probably get down there?

[hot_mes]

don't worry, I wouldn't put you on the spot like that

unless I was feeling really lazy but I don't have time to be lazy right now. I'll talk to Kate about it

[aroundthecoroner]

Sounds like a plan.
Thanks.
