Hey, I've been thinking about this for a while but...

Can anyone tell me the best way to get in contact with the deities? I'm not even sure how many there are.... Any information you can provide would be appreciated!

It's best not to talk to them.

[courage_of_fire]

How else will I know what motivates them?

[onceaweiss]

They never tell anyone anything. And the deals are even worse.

Hikaru...it isn't worth it.

[courage_of_fire]

I... have to at least try. You don't have to worry about my striking a deal with them. I already saw what they did to-- [Umi]

Hikaru...

2/2

[soulofocean]

...Hikaru, what do you want with those weird creeps? Talking to them never brings anything good.

[courage_of_fire]

I have to know why they're doing all of this Umi.
I know .. everyone thinks this is a bad idea but...

I have to at least try.

[soulofocean]

...They won't tell you anything. They'll just tease you and make fun of your attempt ---because THAT'S the sort of weirdos they are.

I get you need to know, Hikaru. But there's no chance you're going to learn about it from them.

[ Doesn't particularly like to pry, but... ]

May I ask why?

[courage_of_fire]

Of course you can, Clef! [Hikaru sounds cheerful enough]

I'm trying to understand them better, that way.. I'll know how to proceed.

[conductyourself]

They are not exactly known for being forthcoming with information, even about themselves.

However, I'm sorry to say that if I knew of a reliable way to get in touch with them I would already have made use of it.

[courage_of_fire]

That's just like all the others said..

Thank you, Clef. Thank you for answering my question out right. [And not trying tooo hard to convince me to change my mind]

[pharles_at_life]

Why do you want to talk to the deities, Hikaru?

[courage_of_fire]

I can't just sit by and watch the results of all these curses. If the deities are really involved in those... dreadful things... I want to know about it.

And I want to know why.

[pharles_at_life]

I hope you can find out. They don't seem to like to talk to the rest of us.

[courage_of_fire]

It sounds like they are pretty tight-lipped.

[eagleofautozam]

Hikaru…

[There is only a momentary pause before Eagle continues. ]

I don’t believe those are the kinds of people who can be reasoned with. From my limited experience… they seem very cryptic, if they bother to respond to you at all.

[courage_of_fire]

You've spoken to them!?

That seems to be the consensus. It may... be for nothing but I have to at least try. Surely, you can understand that Eagle? Please, tell me about the deities you've spoken to.

[eagleofautozam]

I never said that I had talked to them…

I’m not even sure the person… I had a conversation with is a deity…

[But, Hikaru has found a very sympathetic ear.]

Maybe we should meet some where, off the Network, to discuss this. Apparently there is some thing I have to ask you anyway.
Would that be acceptable to you?

[courage_of_fire]

It's what it sounded like anyway. I must have been mistaken.

This is all so confusing..

[Curious Hikaru is curious]

Sure! We could do that.
