We're back.

Sorrow and I, anyway. I don't know where the others are.

Sorrow's going to go find Hope. I get to stay and see if anyone else stumbles in, and apparently make sure nothing too idiotic happens to any of you. Fun.

Your impression was wrong. Hope makes us let you vote on stupid things. It usually doesn't work out.

[garbagemarvel]

Then why do you continue to do so? Repeating an action with undesirable results is incredibly stupid.

[fourthreturned]

I mean it doesn't work out for you. I don't really care about the results.

[garbagemarvel]

So you had no opinion about whether we all ended up here? Are all of the gods here of that same attitude? Is that why decisions are put to popular vote?

[This is all pretty - well, confusing, actually. Thanks, Confusion, Noh hates it.]

[fourthreturned]

Some of us care, some of us don't. Just like all of you.

[garbagemarvel]

That doesn't make any sense at all.

[That would be why she's called Confusion, Noh.]

[fourthreturned]

Not my problem.

[garbagemarvel]

What would you say IS your problem?

[fourthreturned]

Stupid questions.

[garbagemarvel]

[he takes a moment to consider that.]

Yes, I imagine with a group this size you likely have your hands full with that type of question, if the vote responses are any metric for measurement.

[fourthreturned]

Sure. That's definitely what I was going for there.

[garbagemarvel]

I’m glad we are, as the human expression goes, on the same page.

[fourthreturned]

That's exactly right.
