As gods and goddesses, should we expect live sacrifices? Depending on the culture, it seems a fairly regular practice.

If you witnessed such an offering, would you praise those responsible? Or would you punish them?

(He keeps this as text because he realizes his expression may not be...charming. But the thought is a little amusing. At least to him.)

Will you abide by what your deity stands for or branch out on your own?

Does that matter? Whether they trust me or not if their own decision. I don't ask them to follow me,
I just do what I want. They do the same, whether they believe I'm Aditi or not. Hopefully, in the end, that leads to them being a little happier.

What business of mine is it who they worship or how they do it?

[cieled]

I do not follow how. Happiness is usually acquired and kept through - (He actually doesn't know. He cuts off the sentence quickly.) You are their god. It is your business and to assume otherwise is negligent.

weird line break up there that I swear I didn't put in

[bussounoshima]

I'm just the substitute. However, I'd advise them against animal sacrifice anyway. As I said, in most places it's illegal now.

Are your followers happy with you?

it happens to all of us.

[cieled]

What about human sacrifice? Does that matter less to you or are you assuming that falls under "murder"?

As far as I can tell.

[bussounoshima]

It absolutely falls under "murder". I encourage all of Aditi's followers to obey the law in that matter. I don't think I'll get much argument from them.

What do you do to make them happy?

[cieled]

Fair enough.

I fulfill the prayers that seem of particular desperation or necessity. I give those sensitive to it insights in their dreams in order to better their lives or the lives of others.

[bussounoshima]

Does it make a difference to them whether or not it was "Asteria" giving them those insights? Do you think they'd be able to tell the difference?

[cieled]

They seek Asteria and so that is the mask I wear. Ciel Phantomhive means nothing to them and, frankly, I do not care for them as Ciel.

You've taken on a second identity rather easily then.

[cieled]

I do what I must to survive. (This is not the first time nor the last.)
