Let's hope this isn't the end. But if it is, you're welcome. You're a pretty chill guy.
There are few things out there worth it, yeah. I'm just hoping none of them turn up.
Hmm, okay. How about ten for each person you help chill out? Do three and I'll give you all thirty.
You got an alternative to propose?
And yeah, but you'd only count for one.
And yeah, but you'd only count for one.
If your prize offer for each member of Team Tranquility still stands, I have thought of something I'd like to ask for. It should be within your ability to help me with.
For me, peace means purpose. I've found neither of those things since I arrived, and the result is that I've allowed myself to stagnate and withdraw.
I want to ask for your help in finding a job here. Preferably one that puts me in contact with others. I met a bartender when I first arrived, and that seems like an occupation that allows one to learn a lot about others, so. My official request is for you to ask Delight to hire and train me in that capacity.
If the request seems mundane, it's because I know I have a tendency toward being abrasive, and in person, I do not seem like the type who would excel in a position like this.

That's a really cool idea. I guess the problem there is that Delight's bar is currently a burnt-out ruin. I don't know if she's planning to rebuild it - I don't think so, at least not right now. I could talk to her about getting you a job there when she does rebuild, though. I mean, if she does.
Thank you for not laughing.
If you could, I would appreciate it very much. I wasn't aware that it was in such a state; it says something about how seldom I go out, I suppose.

Yeah, some people destroyed it recently. She's pretty bummed about it. If she sets it back up, though, I'll talk to her about that, okay?
Even if she does not, I would like to be informed of similar opportunities. Thank you again.
If you want to be a moped lot attendant, I could set you up. Not a lot of people hanging out there, though.
If there aren't a lot of people that utilize the lot, why would an attendant be necessary? I ask out of genuine curiosity and not to mock or ridicule the offer, which was likely extended from a place of sincere helpful intent.
Oh, you know. To help someone pick out a color they like, or fix something if it breaks. Stuff like that. It might be pretty boring, though.
That's not a job anyone who knows me at all would offer me, even out of pity.
[ You haven't met her, but Caroline's here to see you, Tranquility. Her clothes are, in fact, soaked and sticking to her skin, anger etched into the lines of her face. She's not altogether pleased with a couple of the gods, Delight and Rage, and while she's logical enough to know that blame shouldn't be placed where it's not due, ya'll act kind of like a pantheon. So.
She stops in the Temple, rain pouring outside, arms crossing over her chest. ] Are you actually here or is keeping an empty temple just some trick of the trade for gods who are actually clouds? [ She's playing it real cool, huh?
She wants to have an actual conversation, but she's also hurt. In pain that she stole the life of her best friend, due to the influence of those two gods who are off doing who knows what; she turned Elena into a vampire. And while she's always been a hopeful person, and could've gone to Hope, you win the lottery for who the god she approaches with...whatever the hell she wants to say. She thinks she knows, but waits for an appearance. ]

I can be here if you want.
[Tranquility - unsurprisingly - doesn't seem at all bothered by her irritation. It's like he's been there the whole time, maybe just to one side so she didn't notice - except of course there was nothing there before. He smiles in hello.]
Easier to find me here than anywhere else.

[ She's not sure what she was expecting, prior to his appearance, but Caroline takes a deep breath to try to steady the agitation. It shouldn't be aimed at him, not really. Plus, he seems like he could be frighteningly normal, too, even if the human form isn't his true one. ]
Do other people ever come visit you to lodge what's essentially a complaint against what the other gods do? Because, I'm that person today. [ A long beat. Speaking with him, a real life person, she realizes how little she actually knows about the gods. Her tone slightly softens, but she can't smile. Not yet. ] Are you, like, omniscient? [ Do you know the horror she's committed of late? Does she need to say it aloud? She will, actually, but this specification of his makeup is a clarification she needs. ]

I mean, yeah. People really like to complain. I'm not the boss of the other gods, though, you know?
[Which is to say, people can complain all they want but that doesn't mean anything will ever come of it. Especially since Tranquility likes staying neutral.]
Nah, I'm not omniscient. We keep an eye on some of what you guys do, but not all of it. Or even most.
