We wish to extend our congratulations to two gods who over this past year have gained greatly in popularity and veneration. Although you are new come to the Heavens, you have earned a name among the most respected of our number.

As Gods of Fortune, you must shoulder great responsibility to maintain harmony in your domain and promote peace, prosperity and happiness throughout the Near Shore. Please consider yourselves free to request an audience should you wish for guidance in your new roles, or need to bring any other items of import to our attention.

We ask you all to join us in honoring Li Tieguai and Nekhbet as new Gods of Fortune among the multitude of gods.

It's a reward for all your hard work.

[reformedsinner]

It's certainly not the reward I was expecting.

[As opposed to, say, someone stabbing him in the back, which he wouldn't have been surprised by at all.]

[smilingbullet]

No? What were you expecting then?

[reformedsinner]

The gratitude and good fortune of my followers, of course.

[And getting stabbed in the back.

But that can go unspoken, considering the venue.]

[smilingbullet]

[ That message just oozes of Bullshit. ]

If you're a god of fortune, then maybe your help will have greater effect, that means good fortune for your followers, yes?

[ That unspoken thing? That's not something you should expect all over the place. ]

[reformedsinner]

I can only hope so.

[It had been meant to sound like just as much bullshit as it was. The Heavens seem to like that sort of pious lie.]

[smilingbullet]

Well, you probably don't need to hope too hard for that.

[ Save most of your hope for other things that benefit you more. ]
