you saw it ddnt you?
you knw and ddnt say anthing

「There are good nights and then there are bad nights, this one is a bad one.」

[whip_poor_will]

[That she can tell.]

Are you implying that I am all-knowing or omnipotent, or both?

[puzzlingly]

jst answr my question

[whip_poor_will]

I tend not to try and change events that are not meant to be changed. Otherwise people will point fingers and accuse me of just about everything that goes wrong in their lives.

"Why didn't you warn us of that drought that killed our crops? Or the war to our soil?"
"Why didn't you save my baby? My brother? My mother who died when I was born?"

[puzzlingly]

thn what is the point?

[puzzlingly]

hey
what happens when someone dies here?

「He's never been good with apologies, in fact he doesn't feel he should apologize for what he said, but how he said it. He wasn't in a good place but that didn't give him the right to unleash his frustration at her like he did, he was a jerk, that's what he's sorry about. Not that he might say it.」

[whip_poor_will]

[It's okay. Apologies aren't necessary with Ravine, anyway.]

They are resurrected by Hope. You know this.

Unless you are asking what happens to them in between, as the ones revived do not seem to recall the process from death to life.

[puzzlingly]

yeah that exactly
do you know?

[whip_poor_will]

Yes.

Why do you? It doesn't change anything.

[puzzlingly]

it doesnt? idk i was just wondering

do you talk to them?

guess who? voice. backdated around the 4th

[puzzlingly]

Thank you.

voice.

[whip_poor_will]

[She could try and play obtuse and say "for what?" but... even Ravine knows better.]

I may very well say the same to you.

voice.

[puzzlingly]

Nah, all I did was...

「He chuckles.」

I was an embarrassment.

「Going around naked and trolling people.」

So... Yehudit? It must've been a while, huh?

voice.

[whip_poor_will]

I cannot think of many children who weren't embarrassments.

[Yehudit included, though it is still strange to hear anyone speak about it.]

It has. About three-thousand three hundred and eighty-seven years, in fact. I tend not to think of it anymore. [For perhaps obvious reasons.]

voice.

[puzzlingly]

I think you were... I don't know, 「cute」 nice.

I suppose it's not useful to think about it, after so long.

「He says, but he does think differently, maybe because he forgot for so long that a day doesn't pass in which he isn't reliving memories.」

[synthedick]

When you get a minute, you mind doing me a favor?

[audio]

[whip_poor_will]

Of course not. What is it you need?

[synthedick]

The spiral houses, 1401. I need you to pick up a couple of things for me.

[whip_poor_will]

Very well. I assume you have specifics?

[synthedick]

There's a plant and a fish in the den, and a one-eyed cat that'll probably be in one of the downstairs bedrooms.

[He figures the plant would probably be okay if left behind, but there's no telling how long it'll be until someone gets back home to water it. He's had it so long at this point that'd it'd be a shame to lose it.]

[synthedick]

[Shortly after this hits the network, Ravine gets a buzz from her inbox.]

I need to see you in my office.

[text]

[whip_poor_will]

Ooh, this almost sounds like being sent to the principal's office! I always wondered what public education was like.

Very well. I shall be there in a second.

[Literally.

[Becauseshe just pops right into the Guard HQ like it ain't no big thing.]

[synthedick]

[It's a good thing Nick isn't jumpy, or she'd have given him quite a scare. She's not in trouble, in good news -- he just didn't want to put what he has to say on the network, where the gods could see.]

You read the network today?

[action]

[whip_poor_will]

[The fact that Nick doesn't spook easily is good, because Ravine is still awful about gauging people's comfort levels when it comes to her little disappearing and reappearing act.]

In fact, I have. I cannot say this development is surprising, though I assume you have reason for contacting me specifically.

Re: [action]

[synthedick]

Can you get down there? To that room Name was talking about.

[Cutting right to the chase.]
