[ Hmmm. ]

... You considering finding your match?

[recession]

If I find them, I find them, but I'm not really eager about actually making that "connection".

Especially with the little amount of knowledge we have, and if that alleged "wish" can't be applied to us anyway.

[situationship]

Risky, risky. One dies, the other goes, not one to the pyre but instead two.

[ But they already have two in at this time. ]

What do we know about wishes, anyway?

[recession]

Very little that's relevant to our current situation.

However, some people might have something personal they're pretty desperate to make come true. In which case, partnership to become stronger might not seem like a big deal, especially if strength will help us escape...

But if one or both of them become altered, then it's a bigger mess for the rest of us.

[situationship]

Still don't trust that, but some people are desperate... I guess we will see.

[ That is the nature of things. ]

So the gods back where you're from, they make deals like what these people are saying here?

[recession]

I don't either, but we all have differing values and beliefs. Cults have believers and followers for a reason -- sometimes, they offer the irresistible and not all are immune.

...

The gods don't care, but the people do.

[situationship]

Even the ones with human origins?

[recession]

I'm not really a huge follower of them, but...

It's infamously said that the God of Fear and Hunger sent humankind into a millennium of suffering for the sake of change and growth, to come out better on the other side.

[situationship]

Suffering for potential.

[ Hmmm. ]

What would have even been the alternative... A temporary era of peace? Stagnancy?

[recession]

I don't know. Mankind was in a darker place a thousand years ago, warring and strife and the consequence of everything medieval...

Then again, we've been in a war for the last two dozen years. But at least this time we've got libraries and firearms?

[ Maybe they could've stayed in the Dark Ages forever. Daan wouldn't know, he lives only in one timeline. ]

[situationship]

[ blinks... yes..... the necessities in life... books and guns. ]

Not worth pondering too much, then.

[ They really have been staring at the posters. ]

To growth.

[recession]

If they tell me the god they want to summon here is for a benevolent cause, I'm just saying that it is probably a load of shit.

[ No such thing as a properly good god. ]

...To figuring out what the hell is going on here.
