[ A long pause is heard over the devices, and then something faintly resembling a sigh. Not that he'd admit it. ]

...even if I am lonely, it's all the fault of these deities.

To them, everyone here is just like insects. It's obvious.

[ Baw baw bitter god is bitter, etc. ]

... How's that obvious?

[aettir]

[ wow, this semi-ridiculous tangent derailed into actual thought. huh. ]

... something else.

[heliolatrous]

Something else?

[aettir]

Well, it makes more sense than "oooh, we hauled everybody here to enjoy your general misery".

[heliolatrous]

They're probably just bored.

[aettir]

You'd need a serious commitment to get that bored.

[heliolatrous]

It's not hard to get that bored. To gods, it's just like having pets, or watching insects scurry around.

[aettir]

... have you been talking to them or something?

[heliolatrous]

I'm a god, so I know.

[aettir]

What.

[heliolatrous]

It's not that confusing, is it?

[aettir]

Wha-it doesn't exactly come up! You're one of them? Exiled?

[heliolatrous]

I'm not one of these gods. They're just annoying.

[aettir]

And they got you too.

[heliolatrous]

...shut up.

[aettir]

I'm just saying, it's weird!
