Hey there. Drop me a line if you want to chat, I've usually got an ear or two to spare. Can't promise I'll be able to help, but I can listen, right?

you're telling me.
but what would i know?

[fifthreturned]

Just don't trust those guys. They're bad news.

[skelebro]

what, don't trust the genocidal machinery that's kinda hell-bent on eradicating people based on an extremely specific agenda?
you don't say.

but i figure you ought'a know:
you're gonna have to give more of reason than that for some people.
you gods haven't always given us a reason to trust you yourself.

[fifthreturned]

What kind of reason are you all looking for? If 'they're mass murderers who committed genocide against our entire race' doesn't fly, I'm kind of out of ideas.

[skelebro]

y'know how i said some people prefer uneasy life to certain death?

some people don't.

[fifthreturned]

So I should offer to kill them? That's pretty brutal.

[skelebro]

that isn't really what i was suggesting there, pal.

[fifthreturned]

What were you suggesting?

[skelebro]

if it were me, i'd give people more incentive to trust me.
a way to prove it instead of just telling people how they should decide.

[fifthreturned]

Like what?

[skelebro]

information's a good one.
people like knowing what's going on.

[This is in no way hypocritical and self-serving. Nope.]

[fifthreturned]

I mean, we're not keeping anything from you guys anymore, but sure. I guess I could send out a newsletter or something.

[skelebro]

might help some.
hope it works out for you guys.

[fifthreturned]

Are there things we haven't told you? Just trying to get an idea of what information you're missing.

[skelebro]

what are your stories?

[fifthreturned]

Stories?

[skelebro]

well, who are you as people? not just gods or emotions, but stuff like...
what do you like and dislike?

[fifthreturned]

Huh. Hard to believe any of you care much about that stuff, but sure, we could share a little.

[skelebro]

it builds familiarity.
makes you seem more like people.

[fifthreturned]

I think it's probably easier for you guys to not think of us that way.

But yeah, I get what you're saying. I'll talk to the others.

[skelebro]

thanks, pal.
you guys aren't all bad, y'know.
