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...

He's... alright.

[She has to consider that for a moment.]

He's a builder, like Confusion. The two of them are pretty good friends. We were never that close, but he does good work.

[synthedick]

A builder? What did he build?

[secondreturned]

This city.

[To put it simply.]

Well- a lot of it, anyway. We all pitched in.

[synthedick]

[Interesting, interesting. Just noting that, along with some of the other conversations going on....]

Like you've been doing, with the bar and the armory. What did Fear build?

[secondreturned]

The armory was Rage, but for the most part, yep.

[She has to think about that. It's a ways back to remember.]

He didn't make anything quite like that. He and Hope helped more with supplies and conveniences, but I think they restored some of the city when you guys came in.

[synthedick]

Hm.

[He meant "you" as in her and the other gods, but he forgot he needs to be as clear as he can with them. They're still learning the ins and outs of their captives, after all.]

Must take a lot of energy for all that. What'll happen once all the gods are back?

[secondreturned]

I don't know...

[That's an interesting thing to think about. Delight looks down for a moment, before shrugging.]

I guess we'd try to figure out a way to send you home.

[synthedick]

I know a good number of us would appreciate that.

What will you do to Fear, since he's the one who started all this?

[Because justice must be served.]

[secondreturned]

Hm.

[That's a difficult question to answer.]

Again, I'm not sure. If we could get him to submit, then... well, it's not like one can simply build a prison for us.

[synthedick]

Not even Tranquility? Is Fear that strong?

[secondreturned]

He's not that sort of builder.

[She frowns.]

Cages won't hold most of us, if we put our minds to escaping.

[synthedick]

I didn't think so, but it was worth asking.

The rest of you gods were killed. Why wasn't he?

[secondreturned]

Because he's a coward.

[Her tone goes sharp at that particular accusation.]

That's all.

[synthedick]

[He hears that tone, and has seen how cagey the gods are when it comes to whatever happened to them. Time to tread carefully.]

So I take it he ran from whatever got the rest of you.

[Or he outright betrayed them, but that's a thought Nick will keep to himself.]

[secondreturned]

How do you think that something like him operates? You notice that he never meets any of you in person if he can help it? I manage my bar and Hope is here and there, but Fear- nowhere.

[synthedick]

I've noticed.

[But confirmation is always better than having only his instincts to go on.]

Are you gods confined to the city? Or could he be somewhere else?

[secondreturned]

[She shakes her head.]

He'd stay in the city. His temple is here, and you're all here too, to get power from. There's no point in leaving.
