It does end up making more work for others. Don't want to clean up their mess?

[mygod]

Is it too abstract to say that my goal is to find another goal to accomplish?

[ cants head to the side ]

I've completed everything else in the world that I set out to do. I came here in search of something new.

[haematocritical]

I might not have a choice if it ends up messing with the vote thing.

[haematocritical]

[ huh. ]

... Shame. I could've told you cults were a headache a long time ago.

[mygod]

Honestly? I could've done the same.

[ tilts head ]

But I did not join the cult out of some desire to see something granted. I only wanted to know if they were different. Actually capable of something.

[haematocritical]

Oh?

[ ….. hm. ]

And what’s the verdict so far?

[mygod]

I would say that it's too bad that the vote can only remove one person at a time...

However, if you can only find one, then killing a second would likely be a very daunting task.

[mygod]

They've grown more disappointing over time, as most things do.

... but I do believe they were on the right track. It was enough to pique my interest. At least for a short time.

[mygod]

[ what's wrong with being a monster, astarion..... ]

It is just an extra option. You don't have to participate, if you're worried. If someone asks you, just say no.

[mygod]

How did I do? Do I pass the test?

[mygod]

[ LISTEN maybe we just never want anyone to feel safe in our home? ]

I'd like to think so. I'm not someone of any sort of status anyway, wouldn't be very good at pretending otherwise.

[haematocritical]

[ the part where you get married and then die together. ]

Oh, I’m not planning to. [ … ] But I am curious about who the other person is.

[haematocritical]

Most cults have similar ideas and similar executions of their plans. Bringing a dead god into existence, consolidating power, controlling the masses, a little murder if things don’t go right—-

[ he mimes checking off a list slowly as he goes. check, check, check. ]

[haematocritical]

Well, we know it works.

[ a shrug. ]

I’m sure we could be quicker about it next time.

[haematocritical]

What, on being surprised?

[ hmm. ]

I suppose. It’s better than the jokes by far.

[haematocritical]

[ mods like ‘did you know you can kill the npcs? you can do that’ as we all look away. ]

I would say in this situation your status is higher than ours on principle, personally. I’m not sure that provides you with any benefits, however.

[mygod]

[ :tails: ]

Has one of the others given you a hint yet this week?

[haematocritical]

[ marriage can be platonic if it’s (tumblr voice) problematique. ]

I haven’t been asking.

[mygod]

[ i can get behind it ]

Would you like one?

[haematocritical]

[ this is a ya fae novel waiting to happen. ]

Yes, I wouldn’t mind one. Helpful to know who to avoid certain topics with.

[mygod]

Mmm.

[ thoughtful for a moment. ]

They are shorter than 170 centimeters.

[mygod]

Hmm.

I'll get you to come around to those, too.

[haematocritical]

[ opens his mouth. closes his mouth. ]

Hm. That does actually narrow it down quite a lot. [ imagine if it’s camille that’d be so funny ]

[haematocritical]

Please do not take that as a challenge.

[ please. ]

You said something about growing the lemons?

[mygod]

You say this as someone who is familiar with the idea of actual gods to be resurrected. The cult that I knew was a front, not actually connected to any deity, but instead just an egomaniac's front for collecting dead bodies and amassing followers.

It's following the cult tendencies now, yes. However, for those who aren't familiar with the idea of gods actually existing, it was interesting that they had any actual backing in reality.
