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.

[That's... A really interesting answer. It says a lot for only being two sentences, and he feels like it's probably honest; he's been inclined to believe the gods are usually telling the truth in their answers, but this one especially he can't see a reason why Fear would answer this way if it's not true.]

Okay. Thanks for answering; I've been wondering about that for awhile.

Have you?

You could have asked before.

I guess so. I didn't want to bother you for something that simple though.

[If Fear's making a post Chris figures he's at least expecting to talk to people, but calling him out of the blue about something like this seems... Not rude but maybe risky.]

It seems like an important distinction to you.

But I'll let it go. Is that all?

[The absolute last thing he wants to do is argue with Fear, even about something minor, and so he would've dropped the topic himself even if Fear hadn't decided to do so first. He's more than happy to just answer the question.]

Yeah, that's all. Thanks again.
