That's true for anybody. You are bound to die eventually. It's true that this adds another layer to it, to have your life tied to another... however at least your heart won't be a factor anymore.
No, the church and much about the village setting is new. Consider it to be like a pig pen. [ there are nicer analogies but that's the one famine settles on ]
But we've only been a part of the cult for a few months.
It probably would've been a boon for the world, if I stayed and dedicated myself to other things. But that's not the scope I'm interested in.
For those that I was responsible for, I think they would have grown complacent the longer I remained among them. Too reliant on me and what I could do for them, instead of giving them a chance to think of how they could improve themselves.
Were you a teacher or something? Sometimes you say stuff and it reminds me a bit of Lucas. Except I cannot under any circumstances imagine you working with kids.

[ shrugs ]
Every decision is a weighing of pros and cons.
no subject
... Guess I'd just like to die on my own terms, is all.
no subject
A luxury few are afforded.
[ so many people just keel over randomly! or get abducted into cults apparently ]
But it is not an unreasonable thing to want.
no subject
I haven't got any idea how to figure out who my partner is anyway. Not without just giving out my monster left and right.
Not even sure what to do with what I can do, either. Who knows if it worked when I tried it last week.

[ to give a nice dream to a sad boy... ]
We can give you hints, if you do find yourself so curious.
no subject
Wait, really? [...] I don't have to do anything with it though, right?
no subject
You needn't pursue the thread if you do not wish it.
no subject
okay she can't resist]
Can I hear the hint, then?
no subject
[ brings a hand up to their chin in thought, and then almost laughs behind it ]
An unexpected troublemaker.
no subject
[she says, immediately, and then:]
Huh. Why are you laughing, that's alarming! [she's teasing mostly.]
no subject
Overseer's secret.
no subject
Oh, is that what you're going with? I kind of liked Goats!
no subject
Though I'm also not exactly eager to start calling myself a goat. Reminds me too much of the church.
no subject
[she tilts her head a bit.]
Church? Like the one here?
no subject
The one with the bizarre goat deity and unholy book you're all obsessed with.
no subject
I don't see the appeal, honestly! But I'm not a wizard that's horny for demonic power or whatever, so.
You know, I never asked - how long have you all been doing this? Has that church and all the stuff there been there forever?
no subject
But we've only been a part of the cult for a few months.
no subject
Why'd you sign up? Did you sign up?
no subject
[ they seem thoughtful though ]
... I was simply done in my home. No new challenges, no reason to stay. The opportunity came while I was between projects, and I answered.
If anything, remaining in my world may have been more detrimental.
no subject
Detrimental for who, you, or the world?
no subject

I only engaged with children in my spare time, but not as a teacher. I'm also not quite so.... [ what word do they want to choose ] Naggy? Pious.
[ they pause, as if trying to decide how much they care to actually divulge. but it seems relevant enough, so ]
They put me in charge of a country.

[help she is so like BWUH about this]
And you agreed? Were you high?
