[ Tranquility is one of the coolest gods so far in her opinion. It's kind of apt, isn't it? Well, he gets a chilled out groove from Rose as she does her rounds serenading them all.

The blond tunes her guitar, gives a satisfied hum at the sound of it, and starts to sing for him. ]

I backed my car into a cop car the other day. Well, he just drove off sometimes life's OK. I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say? Well, you just laughed it off it was all okay. And we'll all float on okay. And we'll all float on okay. And we'll all float on okay. And we'll all float on any way

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam. It was worth it just to learn from sleight of hand. Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands. Good news will work its way to all them plans. We both got fired on exactly the same day. Well, we'll float on good news is on the way.

your siblings say that you're a builder.
would it be possible for you to fix the damage done to the guard headquarters?

[Even if it was her double, she does feel responsible for the mess.]

[Danse steps into the temple, looking around for the resident god. Normally he'd have walked in with a lot more caution and care...but right now, he feels strangely comfortable being in here. Comfortable and at ease.

It's been a long time since he's felt this way, and for a moment he just stands there, stunned. Is this the power of these so-called gods? Or did he suddenly develop an over-night fondness for old, crumbling structures out in the middle of nowhere?

But well, it's already rude for a stranger to walk into your home. Probably ruder to just stand there and gape. Danse clears his throats and calls out to the emptiness around him.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

You're familiar with sedatives, right?

( Such manners. )

[When Danse finds the bracelet and reads the letter, his heart begins to sink when he understands what's being asked of him.

Him? Helping other be tranquil? He couldn't manage it for himself without staying at Tranquility's temple. And he's not blind to his social fallacies, and how often his abrasive personality leads to conflict. How on earth could he guide anyone else to find some measure of peace?

He owes it to Tranquility to try...but he's not confident of this at all. Taking a deep breath, he calls out to the god, knowing that he'll come if he's sought.]

You've got the wrong guy for this, Tranquility.

Tranquility. I don't know if this message will reach you. I'm going to do my best to help Fear.

But if this ends here, then this has to be said. Your policy of non-interference was a source of frustration for me, but I appreciate that you considered our well-being when it came to your dealings with us.

Thank you for letting me stay in your temple.

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.

[ 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. ]

[What's that people say about the lesser of two evils? The devils that you know? Well, either way - he'll take an uneasy, conditional existence over unconditional extinction.]

so, dunno if you've heard already.
looks like those things you've been hiding from have had time to null it over.

hey buddy.
you responsible for that last thing that was happening?
the uh
small town whatever

[It had been a toss up between Hope and Tranquility as to who to go see first. They were both equally Apollo like. Hope definitely had that healing thing going for him, he was bright and sunny, and Tranquility was well, chill. Although Will hoped not chill enough to start spouting haiku's. And while he didn't know Tranquility yet, Will had a feeling Apollo and he would get along. Probably enjoy a relaxing day with some drinks on a beach and forget all about the world. His dad did that once for a couple hundred years. Came back to Olympus to find the Black Death running rampant because that's what happens when you chill out and don't pay attention.

Will walked into the temple as he had with Hope and started talking.]

So, I don't really have anything I need to talk to you about.I just kind of wanted to meet you, and get a sense of you and the other gods here individually. You and Hope are probably the closest gods to my dad's domain here.

[He paused.]

Actually that's not true. I guess I do have some things I'd like to talk to you about. What would you like in exchange for a guitar? And two......I don't suppose you can like, chill the Null? Make them forget about their crazy want to completely annihilate you guys and most everyone in here? They might enjoy a nice cold drink somewhere with white sand and blue water. Cause those guys, could seriously use a vacation.

hey dude
me again
forgot to text you when this was done but
did your thing
cough up the prize my guy

Hey...

[While rydia is hardly supportive of those she considers false gods- sometimes you need things that aren't really avaiable and ask for help to those who can provide it./small>]

It's Rydia here, one of your guests, I discussd with other people that it would be nice to have some kind of art society and we'd love to put our hands on musical instruments. Would that be possible?

Yo, Tranquility.

[ Rose has been coming to the temples in person lately. Partly because it's easier than text and, well, because maybe she wants to personally interact with the gods a little bit more. ]

What's a lady got to do to get one of you to grow us some epic weed in the orchard?

[ She knows that Sorrow's the plant man, but this seems more like Tranquility's speed. ]

[Alphys doesn't normally come to the temples; she heavily prefers to keep her interactions over text and a screen. But she's a little worried about the Null and other Gods monitoring the network, and despite others chiming in previously, she wants to ask him a few questions herself.]

H-Hey, uhm-- Tranquility? If you're here? I wanted to ask you, uh, a-about some of the stuff you said on the network, uhm. Yesterday. If you have a minute.

[The calming presence of the temple is helping, at least, but there's only so much anxiety you can quell about a person when it's 90% of their being.]

[ The video feed only shows about half of Drake's face from an upwards angle, like he's holding the phone in his lap. Someone's leaning against his shoulder, and can be heard chuckling in the background. Drake elbows him quiet. ]

Hey. Hey, Tranquility. We have a very important question -- can you guys get drunk?

[ Drake is high.

Thanks, man. ]

[Chris opens the video with a small wave; he doesn't know Tranquility well, but hopefully this call will go over okay.]

Hey uh, Tranquility? Um, I know it's been awhile so I get it if the offer's off the table, but uh... I never cashed in on the prize for when all the god teams competed and we won, and with the whole... Null thing, I've got an idea of what I want.

[With Hope recovering and Sorrow out of the picture, Nick goes to the next god in line he figures he can ask for a favor. Given Tranquility is the one who brought the mopeds to town, he might be the safest bet.]

Can you replace a broken communicator?

[Prussia has a problem. Last time he was resurrected, it was while Hope was injured, and was pretty close in time to another time he'd died. Since he'd come back, he's only been able to communicate in is native language of German, despite the fact that he spoke many languages back home. It's seemed to have bypassed the natural translation going on in Hadriel, both in spoken and written form. Since it's easier for him to fix this than to get everyone here to learn German for his sake, it's time to swallow his considerable pride, and ask for help.

So, he turns to Tranquility, because he thinks whatever he might have to do to fix this, he'd probably make it the easiest on Prussia. Laziness wins again!

Now the tough part - communicating what he needs. Might as well try the simplest way for now. Maybe the gods can still understand him?]

Können Sie mich verstehen? (Can you understand me?)

[a young woman approaches Tranquility's temple. she looks a little rough for wear, her hair disheveled, her eyes are red-rimmed, and she's wearing a bolt of fabric wrapped around her like a sari instead of one of her usual gowns]

Hello. My name is Margaery Tyrell, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. I used to go to Delight for fabric for the Sewing Shop, but clearly that is no longer an option. The deal was, I shared a memory for every bolt of fabric.

You seem to be reasonable, so I was hoping I could have a similar arrangement with you.

Edited 2018-01-22 20:31 (UTC)

hey tranquility right?
margaery told me i should come to you if i needed a bolt of fabric. she also said youd ask for something in exchange
what would you want me to do?

「It's clear he doesn't have anything any of these gods would need but that he could use the emotions instead. This is actually his first... hmm, deal? He never thought he'd be doing this but a friend is a friend.」

I hope someone like me isn't taking up too much of your time. However, I heard from Love that you apparently had some contact with the Null before things went downhill? More contact than the other gods, anyway.

Edited 2018-05-09 16:59 (UTC)

don't suppose you would consider putting bridges between the islands, would you?

Tranquility. Atem and I approach you regarding one of the residents of Hadriel, the demon known as Caedra. We ask your aid in seeking a way to stop her from terrorizing the populace, murdering the people here, and tormenting the souls of your original hosts.

( Look, Tranquility, your temple's got a great vibe and all, but Serah and Julie have some ideas for improvement. )

Hello?

( Also this is still weird to do, to call out to gods like this, as casually as one might call out to a friend. )
