[There is a hatless Scaramouche laying back against the floor. He seems to be contemplating something, hand outstretched above him and idly playing with an odd looking purple and gold chess piece - a Gnosis for those that are familiar with them. There are no introductions here, just a question.]

I'm curious... Tell me about your gods. Who they are, what they do. Whatever.

[A pause.]

Just what is a god to you?

Sounds interesting. Can you control what people dream about then?

If you care about things like worship, then perhaps if they wouldn’t offer it otherwise. Though it sounds an awful lot like coddling, like they can’t manage their short lives without you practically babysitting them.

[verytired]

Yes. I can control what they dream about, how they dream about, if it will truly be a dream or something else. If I decide they shouldn't wake up, that's also an option. Not one I can see a reason for.

I don't personally care, but if they are giving to me then I'm not going to pass it up. I like people. I want them to be happy, too. That matters to me. When you get older, you realize the people matter most.

You could force someone to sleep forever... At least until their body gives out. Can you make them sleep too? Or do they need to do that on their own.

[Of course that’s what he latches onto, it’s a lot of power to hold over people.]

Can’t say I agree, but if that’s what you care about.

[He shrugs. People suck, that’d never change.]

[verytired]

I can put them to sleep. I can put anyone to sleep. Even gods. Not that I recommend them, a lot of them are prickly about being knocked out for a few hours.

[ He sees you, Scaramouche. ]

You're pretty interested about what I do to people not for them. I guess it's good I'm such a chill guy, it would be a lot of power for someone who really wants to use power.

[lyingstars]

I can only imagine how another god would react to that.

[Who's sus? Certainly not him.]

I simply like knowing what they can do - can't say I've had particularly good interactions with any gods before, so consider me cautious.

[verytired]

Depends on the god. It varies from typical anger to lightning bolts of anger.

[ Only a lot. ]

Why's that?

[lyingstars]

Sounds as though you have decent experience with that. You bother the other gods often?

Mn, now that's complicated.

[verytired]

That sounds like a bad time, so no.

That bad, huh?

[lyingstars]

[His hand closes around the Gnosis, falling to rest against his chest.]

Bad doesn’t even begin to cover it. The gods of my world are… They no longer have the right to judge me.
