Maybe this is a dumb question, and maybe there's something super obvious that I've missed -- it's possible! I know a lot of research has gone into houses and powers, and the reason that we're here, but... how much do we know about the gods?

I mean, I know everyone asks this, but I want to figure out how to make them answer us. Or maybe even figure out where they live. Has anyone had any luck talking to them when they haven't initiated contact? Or finding them, even?

They need our help, and I'm okay with helping, I think! I don't mind at all, not if they really need it. But if things like what happened a few days ago are going to keep happening, then I want to know more. I'm not very good when it comes to not knowing things!

[ It's a joke, or at least half of one, and her tone is still buoyantly enthusiastic. ]

Soooo, has anyone had any luck? [ And, in good humor: ] I'm kinda getting sick of being patient.

I tried to take my bracelet apart when I got here, buuuut no luck. I think it's just magic, period, Sollux, so that's probably why you can't trace it.

...what do you want to tell them?

[nukeoleptic]

Iiii want to tell them... to keep us in the loop.

Hi, Shinji.

'You're going to die and it can be at any time.'

That's the loop.

[extradite]

Ahhhhhhhh... hi.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

They're around the city.

... At least, one of them is. Ririchiyo and I ran into Freyr at Draupnir.

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Do they live in the city, or was Freyr just out visiting, do you know?

[video]

[holyfight]

Huh! That's a good question!

I don't think I've ever seen or met a Sigyn-sama around here! I've met a few of the other gods, though! But I don't know how you'd contact them.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

Sigyn's the god I'm hoping to meet the most, yep.

[sparkling_eyes]

I asked Heimdall if I could meet with him privately once, and that seemed to work out fine.

Video

[nukeoleptic]

How did it go? What did you ask him?

[samantha_grey]

No clue. I've picked up just what they tell us, and trusting that's not exactly my strong suit. But I think the only way you can really guarantee getting them to reply to you's netting their interest. You have to get their attention, and words don't seem to work. They care, but not enough.

[nukeoleptic]

I'm going down to Sigyn's shrine later. I'm just not sure yet what I'm gonna do to it.

[tipsygnostalgia]

The gods are fucking assholes thats what they are.

[nukeoleptic]

Hehehe, yes, I'm not discounting that possibility. Especially after the camping disaster.

[diamondedge]

How come you want to talk to them? I don't get it. What can they do for us that we can't do for ourselves?

[nukeoleptic]

Answer questions, mostly. Why us? What are we supposed to be doing? What's the real end to all of this? What can we expect?

[masterofpuppets]

You could try prayer.

[nukeoleptic]

-- I was going to get onto you for teasing me, but that's a valid suggestion, isn't it? I wonder if they can hear prayer.

[spaghettiokay]

Not sure what the point would be, since they're all a bunch of lying assholes anyway, but I have seen them answer people before, if that's what you're asking.

audio;

[nukeoleptic]

If they're gonna lie, then they can lie to my face! That's all I'm asking.

Also, I haven't seen any more cyborgs yet, but they're coming! I hope you're prepared.

[integrous]

Normally kidnappers hardly talk to the people they kidnap, right? This is just the same situation.

voice;

[nukeoleptic]

Nope! That's not good enough for me. I want more, or I'm gonna raise a fuss.
