It's time for another poll to revive one of our allies. As there are only three of them remaining, your choices will be limited moving forward.

Tranquility is the last god to be optioned to you. He is an architect and he was instrumental in creating the city that you all live in. He is agreeable to a fault, but pleasant enough to be around, if that's the sort of thing you value. When he sees the state of disarray that the city is in, I have no doubt that he'll prioritize clearing the streets and perhaps offering methods of faster transportation in place of your flimsy legs.

Confusion has been an option since the first revival. I see little need to discuss her merits when my associates have done it already, but I have been asked to be thorough, so- she is the creator of the labyrinthine tunnels around the city and knows how to navigate them better than anyone else. She is quick to action, true to her word, and would likely give you a way to find one another if you became lost in the tunnels or elsewhere.

Love is your final option and is difficult to pin down. In short, I would summarize both Love's personality and actions as jovial, charismatic, and complex. A hot springs may seem like an unnecessary luxury, but Love would enjoy giving you things to make you more openhearted and accepting of both yourself and others.

This poll will close in a week's time. I will accept some questions. Choose wisely.

It would likely be self powered, lacking in a motor. As he gains power, I could see him trying to offer a more mechanical means of transit.

Having a horse drawn carriage would be too complicated. I doubt cars would fully be possible we as well, but something smaller would be on the table.

[circumitus]

sounds good enough.
was there ever any mean of transportation throughout the city before, or was everyone always expected to hoof it?

[thirdreturned]

There was transport before. Most of it was removed when Fear and Hope attempted to clear the city out.

Your bodies would not be compatible with what we used to use. Tranquility would need to build from the ground up.

[circumitus]

understood. will keep this in mind for the future.

what is confusion like?

[thirdreturned]

She is cold. Like some would say I am, but her indifference has more malice to it. She's reliable and dependable, however, and is capable of shouldering a heavy burden.

[circumitus]

and this method that she would whip up to potentially help us find each other - would there be a way to control it in the event that there is someone who doesn't want to be found?

was skeptical about this at first due to an incident a few months back where rage incited many of us to kill one another. had something like that been available at that time, the outcome would have probably been disastrous.

[thirdreturned]

Hope is reviving her. I'm sure they will have words and he will convince her to allow you to protect yourselves if need be. I wouldn't be surprised if this system were entirely voluntary.

There was another event, wasn't there? Where some of you were lost belowground. What if you had this capability then?

[circumitus]

that makes it a little better. thank you. delight wasn't very clear on how the whole thing worked.

wasn't one of the people buried, but yes, suppose it would've been useful back then.
something like that has its pros and cons.
back home people got pretty invasive with similar tech and took advantage of tracking and tagging, so you'll have to excuse the initial discretion.

[thirdreturned]

Hiding is sometimes imperative. Your concern is understandable.

I could make sure that her system is not given a function that would allow abuse.

[circumitus]

would appreciate that.
thank you.

[thirdreturned]

No.

I could. That doesn't mean that I will.

I'd want something in return for my efforts.

[circumitus]

if making a simple request is such an inconvenience for you, then perhaps it would just be easier to ask confusion herself once she's back.

[thirdreturned]

I only mean that my assistance won't come for free.

But by all means, seek out other methods.

[circumitus]

what sort of payment would you usually ask for?

[thirdreturned]

Nothing strenuous.

A sorrowful memory.

[circumitus]

oh.

that shouldn't be too hard.

[Rey's got plenty of sorrowful shit to spare.]

[thirdreturned]

I thought it might not be.

It's a standing offer.

[circumitus]

so how does it work? are you asking for a personal anecdote or the memory itself... whatever that means.

[thirdreturned]

However you'd care to give it. You can recount it to me in your own words if you like, or you can go to my temple and think back to the moment, return yourself back to the state of mind you were in and experience it for a second time.

[circumitus]

will visit to your temple, then.
not very good with words.

[thirdreturned]

Understandable.

I look forward to your visit.

[circumitus]

sure you will.

[ooc: Handwave? I can give some OOC details on the "sorrowful memory" Rey would immerse herself in or just assume or however this works, haha.]

[[sounds good to me!]]
