...why?

[purple_reign]

I...don't know. I don't think so. You can't take back everything Ananke did to us.

[apotheoppose]

Fashion, music, poetry... I started all of it because I had something to say, something that I could only say through art. But all anyone cares about is the goddess. No, not even. All anyone cares about is the song, and how good it feels. That's all anyone ever wants to hear. And I think I deserve to be more than something that exists for the pleasure of everyone else.

[purple_reign]

Because you haven't given me any reason not to. You've been nothing but kind and helpful to me.

Why do you think I shouldn't?

[heckblazer]

'Coz people close to me tend to have their survival rates drop hard and fast. An' its usually my fault,

[purple_reign]

My life span is already ruined, so you really shouldn't worry about that.

[heckblazer]

Whassa' point in bein' a god if it's fer such a short time anyway?

[apotheoppose]

Don't ask me. I dunno if there's a point to being a god at all.

Would you be happier if you didn't know?

[purple_reign]

[They grimace like they've just swallowed something rotten.]

Of course—anyone would be happier in ignorance, but it wouldn't be better. How could it be better for her to use me against you?

[pummelgranite]

Because you wouldn't be hurting like this!

[heckblazer]

No. But I surprise me'self sometimes. Find me'self in odd corners and dead ends sometimes. That's when I usually save me own skin first.

[heckblazer]

They a lot of wankers where you're from, too?

[purple_reign]

If I had really stayed ignorant then you'd be dead! I'd only be hurting in a different way!

[tfw u open your mouth and u try to say a bunch of dissembling bullshit and instead u just,]

Pretty much.

[Speaking of spooky eyes, though, she's just gonna. Open up a gap here, and pull out a bottle of something strong.]

I'm going to need a drink for this, I think. You?

[purple_reign]

Usually. Do you really believe you'd do that to me? Leave me behind to die somewhere?

[supraliminally]

Why the mask?

[neverdied]

Nothing much. It's one of the limited ways to pass the time where I'm guaranteed to be surrounded by the most inedible parts of humanity.

[earlybird]

Frustrated.

[ Like the word is dragged from him, after he bothers to give any serious thought to the question at all, and he clenches his jaw before any further explanation can escape. ]

There. Answered. Satisfied, Crane?

Some of them are nice. Everyone's got their faults and good points. Like people.

Mind you, I don't know much about the previous Pantheons. Just my group.

[restingstitchface]

Yes.

[He speaks with a calm tone - and ticks off his notes.]

It must be hard, living up to your father's example. But perhaps we'll talk about that later on.

[pummelgranite]

And if I can't?

[pummelgranite]

Why are you such a prick?

[apotheoppose]

People are always looking at me, whether I want it to not. With a mask, at least I can control what they see. Sometimes what I want people to look at isn't my face, or my body, or anything about what I look like. It's really the same thing as everything I like about fashion and designing clothes and outfits. If people are going to look at you, you might as well put on a show, and tell them what they ought to be seeing in the process.

And, after becoming a god especially... It's a bit like having armor. I like that about it too.
