Second ☂ Text
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.

Oh hey, Chara.]
you might wanna brush up on your definition of the word "lazy."

*Click!
That's is me taking a picture of you.
But besides that you are asking for Tranquility, aren't you? If I am reading things correctly.
text
read into it however you want.
text
[If they could magic it up so Sans could actually drink it...it'd probably be something to see. Or would his nature just flat out nix the effects of the drink? These are the hard hitting questions people.]
Although I wonder what Love is like. They sound charming.
text
[The prefix of "uncharacteristically" is mostly just an underhanded snipe. Because he's an underhanded son of a bitch. So sue him.]
pretty sure they're nothing like what you're thinking of.
text
I'm just thinking they'd be good for those residents who need love in their lives when their previous is six feet under. But it's not like it matters.
Although I'm curious to know what will happen when they are all brought back. The purpose of their resurrection interests me.
text
good luck getting answers outta these guys. they're pretty cryptic as far as gods go.
[Boy, that's familiar.]
text
Perhaps, but I still consider it interesting. Reasons are useful things to have answers for.
But if they are as cryptic as you say they are then I will remain to the side. It's also interesting to be here as well.
[* You're filled with DETERMINATION ect. They're not used to being on the sidelines.]
text
[As opposed to, say, a secondary variable in someone's head with the potential to be something more. Not that he's one hundred percent on that. But it's his best guess based on what they've let slip so far.]
text
[They're not confirming or denying it, but the answer can be summed up as 'strange'. Chara had yet to know why they were brought back to life, back home. Even with Sans' defeat they had not come up with an answer. Hence why the gods' revival was an interest.
And Hadriel had seen fit to give them their own body. They could look in a mirror and see red eyes. They don't need their own narration to know that it was themself. A face Chara had expected to never see again.
'Complicated'. Better word than 'strange'.]
text
[He's expecting a "no," though there's no telling what they might think. Unpredictability seems to be the psychological armor they've woven around themselves, though he can't be entirely certain if such is truly the case or if that's yet another deliberate layer cast to obfuscate things further, muddying the waters.]
text
Using a human being as an example, when they wake up from slumber they cannot predict what their face may look like. Certainly they know but there could be things like dirt or blood that was not there when they went to sleep.
[Dirt like sleeping in it or getting screamed at by a certain monster because it was still there on your sneakers.]
But if you have no mirrors handy you can't tell at all.
[Or if you woke up in someone else's SOUL. But they're not going to mention that.]
text
Well, frankly, it all seems a little juvenile.
Maybe that's suitable.]
doesn't sound too comfy.
[To put it mildly. "Dirt" and "blood" certainly implies something on top of it.
Monsters don't bleed.]
and you existed incorporeally before you ended up here, is that it?
text
[It may sound like they're done making sense but it's mostly because Chara is cheating. They're being 100% honest...but since they're conversing via text Sans can't see them tap their own skull.
A voice in the back of someone's mind really is just a voice.]
text
[They're being facetious, but that's fine. He can be facetious too.]
text
[Their conversations really did slip from one side to another. Hadriel was the longest Chara had ever chatted with Sans personally and it was...weird. Interesting, but very weird.]
Perhaps you should consult some books. It may help.
text
Hard to not let them get to him when he knows everything they do here is, potentially, permanent.]
sounds like work.
text
One thing I recommend however, is to have a good narrator.
[Sticky red designed to grab people's attention and make a point. True, they've used it for less important things, but Sans' smart. He should know a hint.]
text
course.
narrators don't get enough credit.
they're the thing holding it all together.
text
It may not come to surprise you but I am fond of tragedies. There's a certain quality in those books that most others do not possess. And everyone can relate. There is always some sort of tragedy, from history to one's own personal life that people can relate to.
But I feel obliged to suggest that you start with something smaller. Fluffy Bunny, perhaps?
[The jab is a distraction and they'll laugh if it works.]
text
Both variables present. In every iteration, maybe?
It's something to think about.
That last statement is another snipe on their part, nothing more. It stings, sure, but he can ignore it. He's ignored worse. Shrugged off an injury bisecting him sternum to ribcage, quite literally. I mean, he died immediately after, but he played it off like a champ. Which is the important thing.]
i'm a fan of comedies myself.
but dark humor tends to be a staple of those anyway.
and here i was thinking you'd be a fan of fear's scary stories.
text
Fear's stories lack what I look for. Unless there's hope there's no point. Being Hopeful until death takes it all away from them is a staple.
There is a human who wrote things I believe you may like, if I can remember his name. I wonder if this place has any books?
[Chara is a bit on the nose with a few comments here, but again, it's not like it matters.]
text
maybe pick up something by kafka. i think you'd like him.
[Sans had liked him, for reasons utterly beyond him. The man's writing was grim and unsettling and difficult to get out of his head. Maybe that was why. Because it felt, a little bit, like it might stick in his skull with a bit more permanence, because who could forget the strangeness of a man becoming a bug and gradually losing his sense of self?]
like hope in you stories, do you?
text
Thank you for the recommendation.
It's common in books for them to receive a hopeful, happy ending. Families reunite, friends become lovers and the dog turns out to not have been mauled by the creature in the basement.
Hope makes the world better and the tragedy stronger. For things to stick and for the future of others.
text
do you prefer hope, or realism?
[Do you prefer that olive branch, extended by someone gently pleading for you to remember him before he pulls the rug out from under you, or do you prefer to simply be slammed through with a line of femurs outright?
Just kidding. You don't get that choice.]
