Some of you just can't seem to stop being upset over my methods. While I'm sure Rage is more than happy to let this continue, I'm here to propose a compromise.

I've noticed that many of you feel fear while asleep. After a time, I've discerned that this is due to hallucinations occurring while you are immobile, and I've decided to allow you all to experience more of these frightful hallucinations.

I think that sounds workable. You aren't put into any real physical danger, and I still get power. And, if you can see one another's hallucinations then you'll have more people who frightened of the same thing, which makes my job easier in the long run.

A handsome compromise, yes? Good?

Done.

What? No.

text

[lingeringfear]

Yes.

[torrefied]

[Well. So the gods do speak to them.]

You're surprisingly reasonable for a god. Most aren't known for being willing to compromise.

[lingeringfear]

I do what I can. Glad to see you approve.

[wormintheglass]

Fear. At last.

I suspect your acquisition of language skills may have been a little rushed, Fear dear.

[video]

[lingeringfear]

Oh? And what makes you say that?

[lingeringfear]

[Literally what are any of those things.]

...I'm assuming that I'm supposed to take this as a compliment.

[On one hand, no physical danger? Definitely an improvement. On the other, wow, invasion of privacy much. Also good thing there's a coffee cart not that it'll do much good but he doesn't know that]

That's definitely better than the stuff before, yeah.

[Still sucks, but might as well encourage Fear's attempts, right? Besides, he already has nightmares, so as much as this sounds unfun it's way better than being buried alive.]

[lingeringfear]

[Aw, he remembers you. What a cool guy, Chris.]

Thank you. We'll see how long it takes before someone complains.

[strangelic]

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my kind don't sleep.

[ Jinx? ]

text

[lingeringfear]

Ah yes, thank you for reminding me. I'll see to that particular snag.

( video )

[lingeringfear]

I'm a god. I think you'll see that I can possibly have that much power.

[Sorry bro.]

[beanstalk]

Some compromise.

[lingeringfear]

I like you humans, but I'm not going to forfeit my power just to please you. I thought this way was easier.

text

[barbarus]

to what end?

text

[lingeringfear]

Your nightmares?

Perhaps your fellow humans neglected to tell you, but I feed on your emotions. They give me power- the stronger, the better.

[unitas]

It's better than the shit you've done in the past. [ this is by no means approval, but it's also not bitching. ]

[lingeringfear]

Glowing praise, coming from you.

[Video]

[dogsanddaughters]

Why?

...don't hurt my dog.

[Video]

[lingeringfear]

Now see, when you say things like that, it's practically an invitation.

[have a series of displeased emojis. there's a lot of middle finger ones in there.]

text

[lingeringfear]

[Well, to be honest, he's not actually sure what a raised middle finger means, though he can kind of glean the frowny and angry faces, so... thanks, Lilith.]

[text]

[circumitus]

you call fucking with our heads a compromise?

[text]

[lingeringfear]

Would you prefer I not take your complaints to heart?

Text

[blowyoudown]

Good to have a face to the name.

[He can't say he approves of or likes anything else Fear is doing, but at least he has a face in mind when he's cussing shit out later.]

Text

[lingeringfear]

Good to have a name to the fear.

[Likewise.]

[liquid_serpent]

So, you're one of our gods? I have to admit you look like a normal man to me, nothing mighty about you.

[Is he a little pissed off? Yep.]

text;

[lingeringfear]

Well yes, that was the intention. We thought it would make communication easier.

[text]

[tongueamok]

This doesn't sound like a compromise at all. Certainly not one that anyone with any good sense would agree to.

[text]

[lingeringfear]

What would be a more reasonable compromise, then?

[watashinonamaewa]

You're replacing physical damage with psychological damage.

text;

[lingeringfear]

Is that somehow worse?
