Wow, time flies, huh? Hope says he's about ready to bring Love back, which is great. I'm looking forward to all of us being together again. Just doesn't feel right without everyone here, you know?

Anyway, you don't really get to pick which of us to bring back this time, but you should get a choice anyway. Makes being here a little less stressful, I hope. So we were talking, and it doesn't seem like any of you were that into the hot springs thing. How about a couple other options?

You could go for the hot springs, that'd be pretty nice. A place to chill out and relax or take your date, yeah? I'm thinking another fun option for dates would be a cafe - you know, like Delight's bar, but with food and less alcohol, more of an intimate atmosphere. Or maybe you guys could use some new housing, if you're starting to feel cramped. I bet Love could make something nice.

Let me know what you're into.

Can we get a fourth option here? I'm feeling a Don't bring back Love thing would be really popular.

[circumitus]

seconded.

Sorry, guys, no can do. Love's not so bad, I don't know why you're all so worried.

[kittycaterer]

Can't see the "Go home" option anywhere. Might wanna fix that.

[fifthreturned]

Sorry, that's not something we can do. Just trying to make things nicer for you all here.

Once Love is here, do we begin to vote on which we'd like to see gone again until you've all vanished?

text;

[dedikated]

Would rather just vote on which of us get to leave.

text

[unfollowing]

we already have good coffee. that's such a redundant thing to choose, omg. you could've gone with literally anything else, but no. just give people something to distract from the hot springs i've been asking for since i got here an entire fucking year ago

We don't count as 'any of us' apparently.

[ He's. Also voting for the hot springs. And on board for bringing back Love, because apparently people are against that? ]

[dedikated]

We that short on housing?

( She hadn't noticed. If anything, the house she and Faith have is too spacious now, with people moving out and leaving. )

[fifthreturned]

There's a lot of small places left, not so many big ones.

[skelebro]

is everybody gonna get along once the gang's all back together?

text

[fifthreturned]

We all get along okay now. Except Fear and Hope, but you know how they are.

[mismanagement]

It would be best if you would simply state what damage your sibling will cause once they arrive. Much as you like to pretend, this is not a matter of choice. You are doing this to us.

Text

[fifthreturned]

Hey, I don't know. Not all of us have control of the effects that happen when we're brought back. Love's not bad people, though.

[circumitus]

of opting out of her entirely is out of the question, would still vote for a sex shop to take care of the sexual frustrations so many complained about in that anonymous post. but sure, let's go for stupid useless hot springs that benefit no one.

text

[unitas]

I don't want to see what a sex shop created by one of these gods would look like. Do they even know what dildos and shit are? Would the vibrators run on love?

[ no now she's honestly curious ]

[occupiesvitalregions]

you can dig a hot springs but not a tunnel out of here?

text;

[fifthreturned]

There's lots of tunnels. Monsters in them, though.

text

[war_itself]

Suddenly don't feel all that disadvantaged arriving too late to get a vote on the gods. What a farce. If you wanted to give us any real control over our circumstances, this isn't how to do it.

text

[fifthreturned]

How would you do it?

text;

[therewillbeorder]

All of these choices are useless.

text;

[fifthreturned]

Sorry about that. Love's not too big on just making useful stuff, though.

voice

[muroieda]

Oooh! Hot springs!! I haven't been to onna those in ages!

Fair-dinkum volcanic ones, roight? None of that knock-off nonsense. We gonna do this, we gotta do it for real, ya get me?

voice

[fifthreturned]

They'll be as real as Love can make 'em. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

text

[godofthemachine]

The illusion of choice. How cute.

text

[fifthreturned]

Doing my best.

text

[hornrims]

Yeah, hard to take that together again bullshit seriously when I've got my own family to get back to.

text

[fifthreturned]

Sorry to hear that. You'll get back to them eventually.

text

[onlythemonstrous]

Good lord, you're out of touch.

text

[fifthreturned]

Sorry you feel that way.

[torrefied]

So Love is the last of you? Were there ever any others?

text.

[fifthreturned]

We weren't the only ones of our kind, if that's what you mean.

[hasitsthorns]

I've been ready for Love's arrival for months!
Gotta' spruce up my shipping chart.
I hope she likes it.

[ Like a kid with sub par art they want displayed on the fridge. ]

Hot springs aren't for me. Water kind of freaks me out.
But! A cafe sounds cool.
Thanks for the options, dude.

[fifthreturned]

Hey, no problem. I figured there's something for everyone there. Thanks for voting.

text

[elegant_and_proud]

A hot springs is clearly the best of the three available options. We have access to coffee and the housing is tolerable.

However, if we cannot be sent home, and as Sorrow said, you would like us to accept our circumstances, then I suggest asking us for suggestions for things that would make us feel particular emotions. Obviously some emotions are more pleasant to feel than others, but involving us in the process would make the situation feel more mutually beneficial at least.

text

[fifthreturned]

I'm always happy to listen to suggestions. What are you thinking of?

Text

[drabsolutelynot]

I'm not entirely convinced any of those would really make a noticeable difference.

Text

[fifthreturned]

You can relax in a hot spring or sip some tea or move into a new place. I mean, it's not big stuff, but it's something.

Voice

[blessedmaiden]

The others already voiced my worries and how I feel so no need a repeat of that...

My choice goes to the hot springs, if they win please please don't place monsters in the water or any of that, okay?

Voice

[fifthreturned]

Oh man, we'd never do that. That would totally defeat the purpose of hot springs at all, you know?

text

[survivorsguilt]

isn't this kind of fucking bizarre? nobody told me you spoke to us.

text

[fifthreturned]

Oh yeah? I wonder why. We do talk to you guys sometimes, and you can talk to us whenever you want.

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Laughing so hard he coughs, although of course that doesn't show up in the text. ]

Well! I've only been here since mid-December, but from what I've experienced so far, I have tell you honestly that I think the whole lot of you gods are LUNATICS.

[fifthreturned]

Sounds like you've got some friends who think the same thing.
