[@cuccoruler] [color=8882be]"I'm surprised it took the demigod long enough too figure out it was her, points to the demigod's determination though. As for the goddess herself, she's alright. Not too bad, not too amazing."[/color] Tlevran did some stupid tricks with his cleaver, and slammed it into the wall for the time being. [color=8882be]"As for the sins of Sloth and Gluttony, I have two ideas for them. Sloth could be provoked by just making the god give up and stop trying to succeed in their actions, and for Gluttony... well... that one's a bit interesting." "Have you heard of the saying 'glutton for punishment'? Gluttony doesn't pertain to just eating, it's basically a different form of Greed. Is there a god or goddess that will partake in something for the hell of it? Like fighting, adrenaline, or hell maybe even procreation or masochism? Again being asleep for several thousand years makes you pretty blind to the other gods that were created in that time."[/color] Tlevran grabbed his cleaver again and held out the blade to Marie. [color=8882be]"You also never shook the end of my blade. I don't do handshakes."[/color] BACK ON THE GROUND OF SAN FRANCISCO... Xoxi slept, thinking about the events prior to her going unconscious, and still listening to what's being said nearby. [color=ec008c]I can hear everything they're saying. I can't see it nor can I respond to it, but I can hear it. Why do they look down upon me for being a demigod? I'm just as capable of greater tasks as them, but I just have a more difficult time with them. I probably was foolish for trying to break up their fight, but I still wanted to help. I don't like the idea of people fighting, and seeing two gods conflict - two greater beings at that - made me really mad. I'd imagine they'd have the logic and knowledge to see that violence is a pointless thing when it comes to settling arguments, but apparently not today. To be honest, Cia was probably right for doing what she did though... the world was filled with corruption and general madmen, me probably included, but her causing a mass genocide of the humans wiped away most of those people, making the world... I dunno... cleaner. It's like one of those myths I read about way back in high school... flood myths? Even though this one doesn't have a flood in it, there are similarities. As for Claire... she was probably right for telling me. It would've eaten Cia and Claire both up if I didn't know about it. Telling me was probably the right thing to do, and I won't forget that, but when she told me all I wanted to do was kill both of them. I was foolish into thinking I could do so, and the better half of my mind said 'no don't do it', which eventually led me to trying to even the odds of the fight so I could leave, but energy got the better of me, and here I am. The new voice sounds kind though... maybe they'll be the better half of Claire. I'm still mad at the both of them, and won't forgive them for a while, but they're both not horrible people, Cia and Claire. Maybe they'll learn to be okay with one-another's presence and everything will turn out alright.[/color]
