Granted, but instead of flying or riding on your arm, it always wants to walk on the ground like a dog. I wish for Luna to read at least one page of Paranatural.

I can believe it

Granted, but it's dark chocolate. Granted, but you only have it for two seconds. I wish for another puppy.

Well if this is what we're doing now then I gotta agree

I am going to move to a status update so the mods don't descend wrathfully and eat me. (Also because Grammarly demons.) I'll tag you both. @Arcetos, if you're interested in what's going on, @ me and I'll explain. Sorry for the slight disturbance.

Yeah, Chaos thought we were derailing the threads too much. Speaking of... Maybe we should move to a status update?

Ene roared, then ran into the spectator area and hid for a short while because HER OTHER CHARACTERS NEEDED HER ATTENTION, STORM IT.

We're not actually allowed to offer cookies in the intro threads at all anymore. Welcome, @Arcetos! It's nice to meet you! If you're interested in writing with other people on here, we've got a bunch of great roleplays, and if you're interested in playing games with words, there're a bunch of options there too. I hope you have fun here!

Ene sidestepped Truthless. She didn't do anything else, definitely for an actual reason and not just because her writer needed to stop procrastinating.

Huh. I've never actually felt attacked or discriminated against for being a nerd. Is that common?

Ene frowned.

"If you want to," Gati added. "You could also continue to not tell us your names, if that appeals more to you." And there went her last excuse for not talking about the wars. She sighed. "There are some gods who fight in the wars, or at least involve themselves more directly, such as Entropy's choice to become a major general in Tuhine. Then there are others who prefer to remove themselves from the public entirely. And then there are those of us who do...subtler things. But for the most part, we have chosen to leave humanity alone."

Gati beckoned the confused-looking Cahayan boy over and sat with her knees folded under her. The boy followed Zura's example.

Ene was only strengthened by all the puns and whacked the cat out of the air.

Ene, having been just kicked in between the legs, yelped and jumped off of FT. She was immediately attacked by Truthless, but nothing really happened, leaving her to blink in confusion. Of course it was then that a giant hand of ice started attacking her, so she ran in the opposite direction, leading it over to A.C.

"That doesn't mean we shouldn't be polite," Gati returned, wishing Facet were here so she could ask what the man had written down. "What are your names?"

SILVA! You changed your pfp!

“Technically, nobody is ‘one of mine’,” Gati said, smile faltering at the look on the woman’s face. And then it slipped completely away at her next words. She sighed, shoved one hand through her hair, scratched her scalp and twisted a rope of hair in her palm. The wars. Now that was something she didn’t want to think about right now. Or ever, really. “Can we sit down?” she asked, hoping to change the subject, but not sure if they’d let it go. They probably wouldn’t. But she actually did want to sit down - it might help her recover herself, and maybe everyone would calm down if they couldn’t engage each other in combat. Not that it would really stop either her or Sensation.

“Flashiness is also a matter of perspective,” Gati said to Tion, grinning at him and ignoring the storm he’d brought to their eyes. She hadn’t felt this happy in weeks; it was irrational, and yet she didn’t care. “I just don’t feel like killing any trees. However...” Her gaze moved to the fallen corpses. She scanned them one by one, guessing that she’d only have enough Power to do this once. She’d been shocked at how much it had taken the first time she’d done it, and how much it had taken out of her. But while she was here, since she had the chance...she looked at each of the warriors, but in the end it wasn’t a hard choice. The boy who was younger than them all, the only Cahayan among the group, with the freshest wounds - if only barely. As the three humans shifted places in front of her, Gati walked to the boy, noting his positioning and wounds. It spoke of a mercy kill, someone putting him out of his pain. She studied him for a second longer, reviewing what could have caused him to lay just so, then gathered her Power and thrust it like a spear at his body. Pulling someone back from the dead was difficult. It was something that Negation sensed had implications, ones that went farther than most of what she did. But it was worth it, in her opinion, always worth it. So she wove the needle of her magic through Fate’s loom, and she brought the Cahayan back. His wounds sealed; his limbs moved on their own as his body mimicked the actions it had made right before death. He stood bolt upright, life now in his eyes - and she stopped using her Power there, before anything else was undone. He stared around at them, gasping. He wouldn’t remember what death was like; she’d asked others before. None of them could recall a single detail, just light. The lack of the Power it had taken to revive him hit her as she released her grip, and Gati felt like the breath had been punched from her. It hadn’t been, of course. She was breathing just fine outwardly. It only felt like this because she was so used to having Negation inside her, and now it was lessened. She knew it would come back. Eventually. She turned back to Tion with a playful “Ta-da!”, not letting the three - now four - mortals see what it had taken out of her. Tion could probably tell, but then he’d seen her do that type of thing before. She cleared her throat and looked back at the first three. “Anyway. We’re deities; that’s what we are. I don’t know if that means we’re not human...” She cast a questioning glance at Tion, though he likely hadn’t given it more thought than she had. She’d given it a lot of thought. “And we came here by chance. We were simply walking through the woods.” Telling them about Entropy wouldn’t be a good idea. Best to keep it uncomplicated.
