There were a lot more of us, but they died... well, all over the place. We all died here, in the city. Hope might be able to bring some of them back, but it'll take a long time and a lot of power, and we don't really have either.
[Will's eyes narrowed, as he listened to what Tranquility was saying .He really was quite chill about all of this, but well, that was his thing wasn't it? Even Will's dad wasn't this chill. Apollo was pretty chill, but he could also go from 0 to 90 in faster than you could say Bora Bora.]
Wait. Where there others? Like, how does it work? Were there more than one Hope or Fear per group or were there others like Harmony or Envy?
[He was already playing with an idea he had about helping Fear gain power. That wouldn't help the other gods here but.....it was a start. In order to resurrect more, well, Hope needed power, right? Will bit his lip, thinking things over]
Harmony would pretty much be me, right? And envy sounds like a Fear thing, or maybe Rage. There wasn't more than one of us per group, though. We wouldn't need that, we'd just get in each other's ways.
I don't know, I think harmony is a little different than tranquility. But similar enough. I guess what your saying makes sense. It'd be weird to have more than one god doing the same thing.
[Territory. He could imagine how it would have gone down with the Greeks. Or just remember the two Titan Wars. Those had been fabulous.]
As for the mopeds, I guess I just don't get why they're your gift. I mean, why not a zen garden or a meditation center. Aren't mopeds more lazy than tranquil?
[That really was a lot less deep than Will was figuring.]
I thought Sorrow made an orchard because he had some connection to fruit bearing trees. Or the trees reminded him of something sad.
[It made total sense in Will's mind. But then, Will's dad had a tendency to cry over particular flowers and he knew a girl who got turned into a tree once. So....]
[The pissiness sounded familiar. Zeus was like that. Well, all the gods were like that but Zeus was the most....well, we don't call the King of the gods crazy, at least out loud.]
So.....you're doing this for us. Why?
[Sorry Tranquility, Will wanted to trust you, he wanted to like you all. He did like you all. But paranoia was hard to break.]
Because you're feeding off us, or because you're just generally nice gods. Or all of the above? What are you getting out of it?
[Will let out a giant laugh, really not expecting Tranquility to be so cool and him to, well, blatantly admit that life was easier when the mortals weren't complaining.
I think you'll find we're never happy, humans in general. There's always something we're missing, otherwise, life would be boring.
[Well that was why Tranquility wasn't mortal. One of those things he couldn't understand. Like having to use deodorant. Mortality came with it's quirks.]

Great. Good luck.

Also, whats with the mopeds?

[He raises his eyebrows.]
You don't like the mopeds?

[Tranquility shrugs. It's not that deep.]
Might as well ask Sorrow why he made the orchard. We did it because you guys needed it.

You really just did it for us?
[That was like a whole new concept for Will.]
Action
[Will must be new.]
Before they brought us back, they gave you guys a choice of what you'd get. Mine was transportation.

[Simply.]
It doesn't seem to help, though.

[It kind of ends up being more Hope's problem than his, anyway.]
Got any other questions?
Re: Action
That's it. Thanks.
