Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

Being a good is not actually that complicated. Detroy hundreds innocent lives, bring a few other back from the death and you gather a nice set of followers. I wouldn't trust those who call themselves so.

Also, I was dead for a reason and I'd like to go back to the afterlife without having to jump through a few hoops for your amusement beforehand.

so if you're a god, can't you use your own power to go home?

anon

[godofrain]

I wasn't a god. I was a fool with too much power that thought he was one. And my abilities are made to destroy, and have very few uses otherwise.

destroy a hole in the cave ceiling, maybe?

Re: anon

[godofrain]

Knowing my luck, all I will manage is bringing the cave ceiling down on us. I might not be able to protect everyone.

okay, that's fair. also, that really sucks

but maybe if you planned for it and told everyone to stay somewhere safe, then tried to take out maybe a corner of the cave ceiling, it could work?

Re: anon

[godofrain]

Maybe I could but would the gods let us do it? Also, I didn't have the time to make sure but my arrival here might have dampened my powers somehow. My summons do not answer me anymore.

the gods would so dampen your powers to keep you from breaking the cave, ugh

anon

[godofrain]

Indeed. Though it might really be only temporary and a rigorous training might get me back to full power. I can't say right now.

And... My powers feels kind of tainted, now. I don't know if they can be used for any kind of good.

What was the afterlife like?

[anon]

[godofrain]

I did not get the time to see it before being dragged here, I'm afraid. I heard it was peaceful, though.

[anon]

[oversear]

Instead of an afterlife you ended up here in hell. I would feel cheated as well.

Re: [anon]

[godofrain]

For now, life here is a bit too tame to be called hell, or it is actually so then my world is much worse. I do feel cheated but because my death had a meaning, and I deserved to go to Hell for a reason. Me being a live is a travesty.

[anon]

[oversear]

Once the gods start messing about and the beasts come out of the tuneels things become quite like hell.

What meaning was that?

[anon]

[godofrain]

Atonement. My life for many other.

[anon]

[oversear]

Ah, I see. Then perhaps you will find rest knowing this place is hardship and torment.

Re: [anon]

[godofrain]

I would, if so many innocent people weren't stuck here with me. I take no enjoyment in the sufferring of others.

[anon]

[godofthemachine]

You could reverse death? I'm assuming this was more than resuscitating a victim of cardiac arrest.

[Envious? Yes.]

[anon]

[godofrain]

Yes, I could. The price was steep, however, and I could not do it carelessly. It's not a power that should be abused, the balance between life and death exists for a reason.

[anon]

[godofthemachine]

Yes, of course the balance exists for a reason.

What was the price?

[anon]

[godofrain]

My health, and most of my energy. I had to stay in bed for a long while recovering. And I am lucky for anyone other than me wouldn't be able to use that power without immediately dying.

[anon]

[godofthemachine]

What are you?

Re: [anon]

[godofrain]

And yourself?

[anon]

[godofthemachine]

I am, perhaps, a god like you claim yourself to be.

And yet I could not reverse death.

[anon]

[godofrain]

I was a bumbling fool with too much power that called himself a God, nothing more. And I was one of a kind, you could say.
