Do you think time still moves in our worlds?

Comments

[galling]

thing is, time moves on whether we want it to or not

that's true regardless, yeah? no sense getting all out of sorts over something inevitable

but if we're working with gods, getting slotted right back where we were's thinking kinda small -- why not just ask to rewind time altogether?

[iravehementi]

Is that what you'd prefer? To be sent backward? Hm!

Interesting.

Do you suppose they would send you back to before you committed your crime? What would happen then?

[galling]

hah? then i'd just go back to committing it again obviously! some things are inevitable

[ ... but he's really not interested in thinking about that if he can help it. and so, deflecting: ]

time moves stupidly, we've already established that, so we use what we've got

what are you doing with yours?

[iravehementi]

Finding a way to free us from this world.

[galling]

seems like it'd be pretty hard to play savior from the shadows

[ or god. from what he's reading of these conversations around him. ]

[iravehementi]

Then it is a good thing I'm not "playing".

[galling]

oho! guess it is

our mysterious lord sent from on high to save our ill-begotten souls lest we continue down a path of depravity, a self-destructive ethos buried within the mantle

blasphemy's kinda an interesting way to flush out a deity, but i can dig it! where's your church?

[iravehementi]

[Sephiroth smirks, not that it can be seen.]

Hah.

Nosy little creature. Been eavesdropping, have you?

....Not to worry, you do not need a church to worship me, I am not that sort of god.

[galling]

when all you've got is the word of god to go by, then you study it continuously

that's just the way it goes, right?

[ or something like it. telling an unknown variable that you're keeping an eye on it's probably not in any great stealth handbook, and probably a better way to get a red target painted on his back in turn.

but gojo knows a good god complex -- he's had one himself. and if he's right, and with no proof otherwise, he'll be barely a blip on this one's radar. if you're that big-headed, there's just not much room for anything else, that's all. ]

but oh, let's just ditch the humility, yeah? maybe not worship, but if you're really anything like a god, then i'm sure you want something

[iravehementi]

I do not need anything from you.

All I want is to leave this world.

[galling]

same

and i just need to know if you're well on your way to creating that portal outta here

[iravehementi]

The more I learn the further I get.

But release may not come in the form of a portal.

[galling]

huh...

death?

[iravehementi]

Your lives are more important to me than your deaths.

[galling]

awwwwwwww

i'm all touched and ablush now! well, can't argue with that kind of magnanimity! [ bullshit, but suspend disbelief please. ] got a sign-up for discipleship, or do we just prove ourselves worthy through another means?

[iravehementi]

Ah, you are already my disciple. I am a god of life and rebirth.

By the time I am able to free myself even those who have died will be reborn as part of me and I will carry you with me to the Promised Land.

[galling]

[ cool, cool, anonymous here is INSANE insane.

or actually a god, but it hardly matters. becoming one with the universe sounds meditative in theory, but batshit in practice. ]

oho, just by faith alone, is it

or is this more of a "tit for tithe" sorta deal?

[iravehementi]

Hm!

You are my disciple because you are alive.
