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.

I'm not looking to debate. I'm just interested in the perspective of people who care nothing for awkwardness.

Perhaps I am too used to others saying I should be concerned with it and arguing the point. I apologize.

There is not much to it, however, so I may not give any sort of satisfying answer.

Don't ever apologize unless you feel you have genuinely done something worthy of repentance.

Try anyway. Why aren't you concerned with it? Extremes in ego can contribute. Someone with no ego isn't concerned with the perception of others, but then again, so is someone with a very large ego. For different reasons, but the end result is the same.

Fair enough.

I do not like to think it is because I have a big ego. It sounds selfish in this situation as embarrassment can be harmful to others. But at the same time I don't feel anything regarding this subject.

Perhaps I am merely over thinking it.

Ironically, acknowledging a big ego can actually be pretty humble. And it's easy to overthink embarrassment; essentially it's just a complicated and ultimately pointless dance that revolves around losing and saving face and attempting to ensure it all balances out in the end.

It's rarely worthwhile.
