Hiya, friends!

[As usual, Faith's tone is cheerful, and she looks as happy as she sounds. Never mind all that happened last month. What matters is they're all okay now! Mostly. Physically? Somehow!]

Got a question for you. Should help take our minds off the mess from last week!

[It's something productive to do with your feelings about it!]

Some of you've been here over a year now, I gather, an' you've learned lots about the gods and such, right? Been gettin' to know them a bit meself, but that's another story.

Point is, was wonderin' what you can tell me about the Door? Some of you've-- erm, played with it, let's say? An' I'd like not to do that by accident, what with the fire an' all. -- yeh, I'm the one who was on fire now an' then when Confusion came back. Don't want that happenin' in the wrong place, like one o' the temples, or the colosseum!

[Hint hint hint: where is the Door, she's going to be poking around the colosseum! Seems like a good place to start.]

Anyway! Let's chat! Here or in person, anything's fine with me. There's still so many of you I haven't met!

[She blows a kiss and waves, and the feed shuts off.]

(OOC: Feel free to do an action thread with her too! Faith can be found making her way to the colosseum, or in the colosseum proper, investigating, possibly throwing little fireballs at things. Please stop her from an accident with the fire.)

Aah, then that makes all of us, yeh? Strange.

[She sounds almost amused despite the comically thoughtful look on her face.]

So they didn't come through it themselves?

Good question. They seem to have a better idea of how the place works than we do.

[But the gods ain't exactly forthcomin' with any of their knowledge regarding anything, much less the Door or why they all got felled in the first place.]

Well that makes sense, at least. Got to understand a place in order to run it.

[Some use that understanding for evil. Like Rosenberg.

Faith hopes the gods aren't like her, but this Door business isn't exactly putting them in a good light.]

I wonder if they're as much victims as we are, just better adapted to this place.

[It doesn't seem likely, but that doesn't mean she can't wonder.]

You'd have to ask 'em.

[Frankly, he wouldn't be surprised.]

They're kinda reticent about what really went down. Suppose they don't want us all gettin' ideas.

[Not too bad a plan, frankly. He knows there's plenty of people who'd be ready and willing to take a fight to the gods' doors, just 'cause they could. He's pretty sure he's still got Gren's little scrap on video. He really should think of mass-sending copies to everyone.]

Will do! [It's a hell of a conversation starter, that's for sure.]

Imagine not. They need us to get stronger. Wouldn't be good to spill all their secrets to us.

[Faith is one of those people who'd fight them if she felt she had to. Granted, she'd wait until all other options were exhausted before doing that, but she'd still do it. Wouldn't be the first time she's fought someone stronger than her.]

Wonder if they'd let us help them if we could. They're not bad sorts. Wouldn't want 'em to die all over again.

[Death doesn't seem like fun.]

Maybe. Not sure if they're the sorts to risk trust.

[Trust is, after all, a pretty significant risk, especially since it'd require the surrendering of potentially sensitive information. And they're all just - what, mortals and pawns to them? What would they do to earn that kinda trust?

Nah, the gods seem pretty content to leave them to be their living, emotional batteries.]

Worth trying, right? Offering. I know I only just got here a few months ago, so it's not as if I've proven meself or anything, but it's a gesture of goodwill, yeh?

[#relentlessoptimism]

Sure. Why not?

[Talking her down from what's probably gonna be a hopeless endeavor will require more effort than he's got in him at the moment, or at any given moment at all.]

No harm in tryin'.
