[whoa, that makes mob blink at the wisdom. dimple wants to be popular? that made sense in a weird way. yoichi is truly wise to the ways of the world.]
Yeah, it sounds like it'd be lonely to me. People admiring you and blaming you without really knowing you at all. Or people only seeing you for your power.
[also a good point about patrons] That's true... I'm not really sure what it means to have one of them as a patron I guess. Are they watching our backs more?
[Yoichi is amazing at lucky guesses based on a lot of people watching. If it sounds like wisdom it's accidental.]
I guess that's why most gods have pantheons. Then they don't have to be alone dealing with it.
[He can accept the possibility that they exist, after all. Why not? There's more to the world than he's seen, and he's never seen the spiritual side at all.
The patron thing, though, they can be seen. And interacted with.]
Who knows. It can't hurt to try to help them back a little though, especially if they're giving us nice things. I'm going to ask around for what Doorway might like, and then get her a gift along with offerings.
Mm, that's true. I guess that's kind of like the pthumerians. They remind me of stories of gods all annoying each other and getting in trouble.
[though they seem to date each other and have god kids less, so good for the pthumerians? sort of?]
I think she's the one who wants people to make connections. [he's learned something! not a lot. after a long pause to consider he offers,] Maybe she'd like it if you kept making friends. Does that count as an offering, you think?
I hope some of them are allies of each other, and it isn't all just getting on each other's nerves.
[How terrible that would be, no friends and just enemies and disliked people. Satisfied with the soup for now, Yoichi steps a bit away to give the fire a bit more fuel; things could get chilly fast in winter, and he doesn't want Mob to get uncomfortable.]
That sounds like it might be more for me than for her though. A gift is something the receiver should benefit from somehow right?
