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.

text

[lingeringhope]

I didn't agree to this.

text

[lingeringfear]

You can't exactly stop me.

text

[lingeringhope]

That's not how compromises work, you absolute cretin.

text.

[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.

text

[lingeringfear]

When did I say I was compromising with you?

text.

[lingeringfear]

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

text

[lingeringhope]

Ugh. Fine. If you can do it, I can do it.

text.

[torrefied]

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

Fear. At last.

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

[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]

Ah.

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

text

[secondreturned]

This sounds like so much fun! I'll do it too!!

text

[lingeringfear]

What?

You can't do that.

[video]

[lingeringfear]

Oh? And what makes you say that?

text

[lingeringhope]

I am so glad you are here.

text

[lingeringhope]

I can if you can. And you always do whatever you want, like the selfish creature you are. I may as well try it for once.

[wormintheglass]

You seem a little confused as to the meaning of propose and compromise.

[strangelic]

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

[ Jinx? ]

[video]

[lingeringfear]

I'm not exactly 'proposing'.

[He shrugs.]

I'm just 'doing'. It seems a compromise to me because I'm doing it with your complaints in mind. Would you rather I ignored them?

text

[lingeringfear]

[Literally what are any of those things.]

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

[beanstalk]

Some compromise.

[video]

[wormintheglass]

You aren't proposing at all. A proposal implies a need for agreement from the other party; the word you want is imposing.

Do you feel you'll be less satisfied with our nightmares than, for example, our live burial?
