three ☠ text

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.

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

Don't mistake this for approval. I said your method of proposed compromise was reasonable. What you're doing is still bullshit.

Ah.

Well, we have to take progress where we can, I suppose.

You consider one half-compliment progress? This must be an especially unforgiving crowd.

You don't know the half of it.

I don't, actually, since I'm new here. But I'd be interested to hear about it.

It's what you might expect. Blame gets thrown, fingers are pointed, and everything is unfair.

[If you could only see Mello rolling his eyes. A god, whining about fairness.]

I would think a god would have some measure of control over what's fair and what isn't.

[Which is a sideways way of asking what kind of control the gods here actually have.]

[Sorry Mels, he was mocking you guys tbh.]

You assume that a god would care about how fair the humans find their predicament.

I assume nothing, actually. I draw conclusions based on evidence.

And what is the evidence you've found so far?

Still in the collection process, actually. You seem like an interesting bunch.

I suppose we've been called worse.

I'm sure you will be called worse, if you follow through with what you've proposed.

Not exactly my most pressing concern but likely, yes.

So why go through with it?

Your fear is worth your disdain, many times over.

Isn't there a more efficient way to get what you want from us?

Yes: I have you experience the nightmarish things while awake. Many of you have issue with that.

What I meant is whether there's a more efficient way to get what you want without subjecting people to things they object to.

Oh!

Definitely not.

Sounds to me like you're not terribly creative.

Sounds to me like you don't know how my abilities work.

[Well, since you brought it up ...]

Then enlighten me.

It has to be real. Genuine. The deeper you feel it, or the more of you who feel it, the better it works. Dreams are alright, but not as effective as reality.

If you agree to it, you won't feel as afraid. There'll be some manner of confidence in your approach- a safeguard, if you will.
