[JONAS. Boy, your divine depression. We've gotta work on it. Frumpkin has come with him, as expected. The cat wanders over to rub against the back of Jonas's legs. Heal.]
There are too many of them. [Saying this to God who had hired a team of people, so funny.] Even though the other set will be moving on soon.
They seem... alright for now. [It's giving The Mighty Nein come to see the Bright Queen, and he has to watch them be stupid.] My judgments of others are typically always very high, only to be disappointed. I'm trying to do better.
[ simba is sitting in front of him looking out into the void, too, but jonas turns when he feels a cat behind his legs. hello frumpkin, of course he will reach down to pet. ]
It kinda makes sense. I had three I hired on our side of things, but there were three others in the healing center that the old God had hired. None of us knew right away though. It's kinda nice that they're here before we split up so we know who might be waiting for us later.
[ this is so funny though? this time he turns to look at essek and though he is clearly amused, he does seem thoughtful. ]
And I try to keep an open mind most of the time, so we'll meet in the middle. But yeah they don't seem bad. Any of them? They all seem to agree this sucks at least so I'll take it. I'd rather everybody be on the same page there.
[SIMBA. Essek is peering at Simba. Hello, Simba. Frumpkin pauses by Jonas's legs and also peers at Simba.]
There were many cult members, but only four of us who banded together to stop what was happening. Three, after one of us had died, but that one tended to those who joined them after being killed.
[ cat to cat to cat communication while jonas, a dumb dog, stands here. simba at least reaches out to paw at frumpkin's head. hello. ]
Right, when that pocket blew up or whatever. At least they had somebody. Pretty sure the three at the healing center weren't anticipating so many people coming through. I think they even ended up with someone there before the others arrived and got settled.
[ that's a question though. ]
They've had a few weeks to know about this, but that isn't a lot of time when you think about it. And it seems like all of them have done this before, too. I don't know if I would say I trust them completely, but I currently trust that they do have the best intentions in mind to help us. I don't need more people to fight.
[Frumpkin accordians back briefly like cats do when you try to pet them and they aren't so sure about that. But then Frumpkin sort of sniffs in Simba's direction and mimics the paw to head behavior.]
For some time, we also couldn't communicate with any of them which made things a bit harder.
[He spreads his hands open in an "ah well" gesture before putting them together again. He seems amused somewhat.]
[ me as frumpkin. simba has zero fear and recognizes this is a smaller friend and will allow the return bap. cats. jonas is watching this before he shrugs and looks at essek again. ]
I don't remember if I mentioned, but we didn't even know those three existed for months. About a month into the project, maybe, when Caspian made contact with Maddie and MIST. We couldn't communicate at all before then either. So let's hope it's smoother here than it was for either of us.
[ but there's a small grin. ]
I'm prepared to do what I have to for this guarantee to stick. I mean I'd like to not murder anybody or whatever but I'm not good at sitting back and letting other people do everything.
[Friend.... Cats. Frumpkin turns away and weaves back around behind Essek's feet... but then crouches down and calibrates a pounce. His ass and tail can clearly be seen from the other side, but whatever.]
Knowing the other four will be traversing to the other side helps, I suppose. Even if there is no communication at first.
[Ok, big boy Jonas! He manages a tight, but small smile of amusement.]
[ cats are so stupid because simba's mimicking the pose? these idiots are both going to pounce at the same time and collide headfirst. orange cat behavior. ]
Better than wondering if people are gonna flounder and thinking we may never see them again. [ but ah. he kind of smiles back, but less amused. ]
Being God kind of has its own set of responsibilities, I guess.
[My god. Yes. Of course. Frumpkin pauses, calibrates, and then leaps out at Simba from around the legs. They definitely are, and who is surprised. Essek just raises a brow at the antics.]
Hopefully the other side is not a bottomless void. [This makes it seem like experience, so he glances up.] Not that ours was, pocket dimension or not.
So we were attempting to summon a god, and you were God. I do dislike the grip gods' divinity has on most people, no offense to you.
... my time as God has just shown me I was right all along about God needing to change how they address people. So I'm trying to be better than the previous guy.
You think? [ just as lightly. simba has rolled to his feet to pounce on frumpkin again. ] God never really answered me when I would ask for things when I was alive, and then when I assumed and didn't want them to show up when I died that's when they dragged me to Heaven. Things don't always work the way you think they should, but... it's adapting, I guess.

anyway, we are probably staring out the windows of the gate area, because the world is cruel and a dark abyss. ]
... so as a previous overseer, what's your opinion of the ones we've got now?

I feel like the four of them would at least know if it was a void or not. But sure, hopefully you're right.
[ he shrugs to that then. ]
None taken. I can't say I'm that impressed with God or gods in the first place either. Full offense. [ fucking axolotl. ]
