Hey again!!!

Hope just told me that he'll be able to resurrect another god by the end of the month! I guess everyone's been sort of letting you guys pick who we get to bring back, right? That's so great for you guys! I'm glad we're doing it this way, I'd definitely hate to have to be the one to choose between my friends...

Anyway! Your three options this go-round are:

Confusion! Again... poor Confusion. She's pretty cool, actually- I don't know if you guys knew this, but she's the one who made the tunnels all around the city! I think Hope was going to try to get her to make a clinic, but since you guys seem to already have one of those up and running, I think it'd be more helpful to make what you guys have been calling a, um, GPS? She could make it so you guys could find one another, even if you're in the tunnels, and you'd be able to tell when someone is gone from this place. Super cool!

Love would be your next option! Last time Love was up, you guys got the choice of hot springs. I still think that's kind of important? Everybody loves (haha) hot springs! I could see about some nice soaps and things too if you want? Love and I aren't super tight, but there's usually a bit of overlap between love and delight so I'd super appreciate voting that way!

And last and newest is gonna be Sorrow! Sorrow is a good guy, he's the oldest of us and he takes care of us. He's really responsible... so I think he'd definitely like to bring something in that can help you guys out. Maybe a really big garden and orchard, across the river so there's more space. He'd have enough power to make sure it was big enough to feed a lot of people, so Hope wouldn't have to make so much food. Doesn't that sound nice?

Anyway, those are your options! Let me see if I can fiddle with the polling system here, um...

[She was absolutely going to vote Love again, because hey: Lilith's not so subtly a pretty indulgent person. The possibility of a 'garden', however, has her suddenly shifting gears.]

What do you mean an orchard
like. Trees with actual fruit on them?

[she doesn't not know what a tree is-- it's actually been nice to see living ones around Hadriel-- but it's been a very long time since she's seen anything... actually growing. off a tree. that doesn't explode into fire, or acid. or electricity.]

[secondreturned]

Ooh, yep! The ones we have now aren't really that helpful, but I'm sure that Sorrow would want to give you guys a variety of growable food!

What's a...a...gaps? Gips?

[ Arya is very much struggling with pronouncing GPS, which is clearly a word and not an acronym. She switches to text instead. ]

What is a GPS?

text

[secondreturned]

I don't actually know!

[Oops...]

I've seen some humans talk about it though, and I think it means that you guys can find each other in the city when you want to. Like, through the network.

[Video]

[mismanagement]

If Sorrow is the oldest, then why wasn't he resurrected first?

[Video]

[secondreturned]

Sorrow died last, from what I've been told.

[Quietly.]

And he's one of the strongest. Hope didn't have the energy to even try to resurrect him at first.

[bluffed]

one of these are unlike the other.
what's special about hot springs compared to tracking and food?

[ She's so skeptical. ]

text

[secondreturned]

Well, it's where his priorities and specialties are. I mean, I brought in a bar for the same reason.

[glacius]

[He supposes that since this is his first time conversing with one of the gods, he should press for more pertinent information, but one thing is really sticking in his mind right now.] Hot springs? That doesn't sound very enjoyable. [Is dipping themselves into steaming water a thing humans do? For fun?? Eugh!]

[secondreturned]

Oh no, it doesn't?

Maybe don't vote for that, then... vote for what's going to make you happy!

[Is her totally unbiased opinion.]

[text]

[thechoiceisyours]

[On one hand, Confusion doesn't sound great for events. On the other, a GPS like that would be way better than what he and Rhys had talked about and a lot less effort to get up and going.]

This is super helpful, Delight. A lot more than last time we were picking.

[Definitely gives a better idea of the benefits from each. Also he'll just ignore that first part about choosing between friends because yeah that's not fun.]

[text]

[secondreturned]

Thank you!! I like people knowing what they're voting for.

Rage is a little short spoken sometimes, but she means well.

[Can you really type that with a straight face, Delight...]

Mostly.

[voice]

[synthedick]

I appreciate having more information than we had last time.

[Not that every option doesn't sound like a double-edged sword.]

How many more gods are there?

[voice]

[secondreturned]

I do what I can!

[There's a pause, as she tallies them all up.]

Well, let's see... Fear and Hope are already here, as well as Rage and I... you're voting for Love, Confusion, or Sorrow... I guess that just leaves Tranquility! So, just the one.

can love bring matt here?

soaps? god that'd be so nice. scented soaps with extra moisturizers!

you are so sweet, delight

[secondreturned]

I can try!

Thank you. That's super sweet of YOU!! I hope you can get what makes you happy, Emily.

This is almost civilized.

[ Hard to tell if his tone is just regular Lucifer amusement or slightly disgusted. ]

Hold the door and 'no after you' sounding.

[secondreturned]

We do try to make things fair.

[Sort of.]

I know this is a bad situation to be stuck in, but I do want you guys to have some control over things.

[Text]

[linefacingforever]

This is my first time for this, but...
If Sorrow can help Hope, then I believe they're worth my vote, despite what their name implies.

[Text]

[secondreturned]

I'm sure Sorrow would appreciate that! A lot of people seem excited over the trees and fruit.

Text

[amos_moses]

A very helpful list of options, thank you!

While a GPS (that's used mainly for directions, where I'm from, but finding people is more useful) and hot springs are nice, I think fruit trees would help us be less of a burden to ya'll. I know Hope's been spending a lot of energy keeping us alive and well.

A lot of people seem to think you're deliberately keeping us here, so I'm sorry if some people are rude about that misunderstanding. Hope said he was trying to ressurect someone who might know how to send us home, but I'm not sure a lot of people really got that message?

But thanks for all your help. I promise we appreciate it, even if not all of us show it.

[secondreturned]

I think it's an easy mistake to make- we are the only sentient life that existed here before you. It wasn't mine or Hope or Rage's decision to open the Door in the first place, but it still happened and none of us can fix it.

So I can understand the anger. Nobody wants to be taken from the things they love.

[circumitus]

don't suppose confusion would know a way out of the tunnels since she created them?

as in out of the city entirely.

[secondreturned]

Do you want to leave the city? I don't think you can get home that way.

[stepford_smiler]

Would Sorrow be providing all of the produce? Or would there be seeds available for the garden as well?

[secondreturned]

Do you want seeds instead of plants?

[inappropriatelaughter]

so your one of the gods here?? can you magic stuff up

like smokes

[secondreturned]

Yes!! I can create smoke.

Why do you need it?

[firstorders]

[Oh, he didn't trust any of these options so you'll have to forgive Hux if he's suspicious as hell here.]

You said this Confusion had a hand in crafting the caves? Who created this city then?

[He wasn't buying into this whole 'Deity' thing but Hux was curious to gleam what information he could from this woman all the same.]

text,

[secondreturned]

We all helped create this place, but Tranquility created most of the architecture.

He's still gone. Just for a little while longer, I hope!!

[notjustinthemirror]

Does the GPS involve tagging us like sharks and monitoring our movements?

Text

[secondreturned]

I don't... think so? Should it?

text

[64th]

Do any of them have condoms?

[ yes, she thinks she's funny/ ]

text

[secondreturned]

This is the second time I've been asked for those. I'm assuming they're very important to you humans.

permatext.

[torrefied]

The illusion of democracy. How nice. It's not often jailers ask their captives for their input.

[secondreturned]

'Jailers' implies that we're the ones keeping you here though, doesn't it? None of us know how to reverse the Door.

text;

[wavesoakedlegs]

Sorrow takes care of you? Would he be the best choice from your perspective, right now? I apologise if that is an inappropriate question...

text;

[secondreturned]

It's not inappropriate!!

They're all solid options, I think. If you want my opinion on the matter, Love would be my preference. Sorrow would for sure be a help to us, but there's not really much overlap between sadness and happiness, so I'm not sure if I could put a full endorsement behind him.

text

[unitas]

I'd rather vote for the one who knows most about the Door, or the one that's willing to find a way to get us home, or the one that's least likely to fucking fuck with us, but no, we get this shit.

A fucking hot springs, really? That's dandy.

[ insert a ton of middle finger emojis. fuck you all. even you delight, no matter how much of a cutie you are. ]

text

[secondreturned]

We're trying to make things more comfortable for you.

Fear won't tell us how he found out about the Door in the first place, or who told him. If we knew that, we could try to figure it out.

[prespangled]

What happens when you're all resurrected?

[secondreturned]

I'm not sure, exactly.

I guess we all try to figure out how to get you all home.
