[eluci]

From: Nyx
Date: February 26th

So who do I submit my resignation to? I dunno who thought I was cut out for godhood, but they're pretty far off.

Unfortunately, there is no one to resign to. You are not the only one who feels this way, but it would be best to simply make do for now.

[eluci]

Figured.

Can't do anything else, so I might as well try.

[distantfuture]

It may be intimidating, but it really is not so bad. Do you have a shinki yet? Having a partner may ease things a little as well.

[eluci]

yeah

She's less like a partner and more like.

Idk an adoptive mom.

[He almost types that she was a mom before her death, but ultimately gets halfway through what he was going to say and then decides to delete it.]

It's a little weird.

[distantfuture]

The first skinki I had was a bit like that. She was quiet though, but a bit... pushy, I guess you could say.

[sageprincess]

If you find that out, please let the rest of us know. I am certain there are a number of us who would like to have a word with them.

[eluci]

I guess I'm not the only one this has jappened to?

[sageprincess]

Unfortunately not. I have a kingdom I must return to, but that fact does not seem to matter at all to whatever power brought us here.

[eluci]

As the ruler of the kingdom?

[sageprincess]

Yes. My true identity is Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. It is not a country that exists in this world, so I will not fault you if you do not know of it, but regardless, I hope the desire I have to return is self-evident.

[and pretty please don't call her a liar because she technically can't prove her birthright, that would be swell--]

[eluci]

[He can't ask her to prove anything if he can't prove anything himself.]

it is.

I'm Prince Noctis of the Kingdom of Lucis. It doesn't exist in this world either, as far as I can tell.

[sageprincess]

Oh.

[That's... not something she's used to running into. To her memory, Princess Sakura has been the only one she's found to be in a similar position. It takes her a moment to form a response that she feels doesn't sound too trite.]

You have my sympathies, then. I have been here for half a year by this world's calendar and, unfortunately, I have yet to find a successful method that will return us to our own worlds outside of the whims of whatever power brings us here and whisks us away.

I believe that we do not have that option, unfortunately.

[eluci]

so I've heard.

what do you think of it?

[cloakedinruins]

There are worse ways to spend one's afterlife, I suppose.

However I am finding myself rather bored.

[monkeyblue]

You can't. If you die you might come back as a shinki though.

[eluci]

Think I'll pass on both.

Especially the shinki part.

[monkeyblue]

Then congratulations. You're a god.

[vaporlike]

Surely there's no need to resign! Simply enjoy the luxuries we've been offered here.

[eluci]

Not much here that I can't get back home.

[Okay, it's better than being in the Empire, but he'd much rather have his friends than whatever luxuries he's been given so far.]

[vaporlike]

Is that so? What sort of place do you call home? To think that there could be somewhere equal to the heavens...

[eluci]

If this is really the heavens, there's some people I'd like to find eventually that I haven't seen yet.

[That doesn't answer the question, Noct.]

[vaporlike]

They have already achieved immortality, then? If so, you hav even less of a reason to leave.

[trustheart]

Hell, if you figure it out, let me know. I'll fill that out in a heartbeat.

[eluci]

If I do, you'll be one of the first to know.

you and metis.

[Or whatever her actual name is.]

[trustheart]

Be sure to look me up as Chris Yukine, not Ishtar. I don't prefer to go by my god name. What made you decide you're not cut out for it though?

[eluci]

Because I still need to figure out how to fulfill my obligations to my family back home.

[trustheart]

That's a damn good reason! Honestly, the hell is heaven thinking pulling in someone who has something like that going on?!

[eluci]

They've got their own agenda and screw everyone who doesn't like it?

[trustheart]

Well, obviously. I guess it's kind of a rhetorical question. Still, I'm sorry you're stuck with this.

[heptagram]

I've heard this question asked a lot but no answers yet. I haven't asked, though, so maybe I just got locked out of the loop.

[eluci]

Great to know I'm not the only one who isn't thrilled to be here.

[subconmodo]

Me.

Just kidding. But if you do figure out a way to get out of here I call dibs on your followers.

[eluci]

[Das rude.]

Pretty sure that's not how having followers works

I mean, if I'm not here and they want to follow you idc

[subconmodo]

[It takes him a bit longer to respond. Someone's not quite used to net slang and might have had to google that]

Probably not, but a guy can dream, eh? Maybe I'll even pass out some pamphlets or books. Seems to work well enough for some people.

[yasei]

I guess your only way of it is dying and hoping you revive as a shinki instead of reviving as a god or not reviving at all.

[eluci]

Nope. No dying. Not happening.]

[yasei]

People keep saying that for some reason. But really I can't think of any other option so I guess you'll have to just get used to the situation.

[phantomtrick]

Maybe you can send your resignation papers to all the temples.

Just a thought.

Having a hard time?

[eluci]

That would involve finding all of them.

Not really. Just don't need to deal with this kinda stuff right now.

[phantomtrick]

Oh, so that's what's bugging you.

It kinda sucks that we don't get much of a choice.

[handsome_genius]

You should be grateful to be a god.

[eluci]

I'm not.

[Fite him.]

[handsome_genius]

[ Done and done. ]

You would rather be wholly dependent on serving another being?
