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.

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.]

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

[liquid_serpent]

Which one of the gods are you?

[Because he still doesn't believe you are actual gods.]

[lingeringfear]

Fear. Your terror gives me power.

[liquid_serpent]

You're Fear, are you?

[Liquid clenched his fist in anger. How dare this "man" try and frighten him.]

I'll give you something to be frightened of. Me.

[lingeringfear]

Oh? How will you frighten me?

[liquid_serpent]

[Good question. How would he frighten him?]

My rage knows no boundaries and I've lived through hell most of my life, so can make others' lives hell too.]

[lingeringfear]

That didn't exactly answer my question.

[liquid_serpent]

Perhaps I'm not willing to give a straight answer, since you gods operate in riddles, hiding things from us until you see fit to dish them out.

[lingeringfear]

Then don't make threats in the first place. It rings hollow when you have no follow through.
