From: Oscar | Lugh
Date: May 9th

[The feed opens up with Oscar chilling out by the lake on his temple grounds. Even over video, it's clear the poor boy is feeling a bit awkward right now.]

So...I've been here for a few months now. And I'm somehow getting more people who want to follow Lugh--that's me, I guess--but I don't really know what I'm doing to make them want to do that. I'm just...answering a few prayers here and there? Is that really all it takes to be a god in this world? There's not anything else to it?

[He sighs, a little frustrated.]

I guess what I'm asking is how do you be a god, here?

Yeah, for real! And maybe it's easy for us, but for the people we help, it means more than that, right! It's something we can do to help them, when they didn't know how to do it themselves. Didn't you ever have things you were worried about going wrong or not being able to do on your own, and someone helped you with it?

Maybe it might not feel like a lot to us, but the people who get the help they need to be happy, it means a lot!

[Oscar's pretty sure where his mind first goes is...not what Nanako is talking about because Ozpin, but he gets the point either way.]

I guess. But...I dunno, I always thought gods were supposed to do amazing things and perform miracles.

[welcome_home]

I mean, sometimes I guess we can help with those, too. [ She tips her head to the side, looking thoughtful. ] But isn't that doing things they can't by themselves anyway? That's what most people pray for - just some help. Not amazing things. To them, getting help with something they can't do themselves or think is impossible is a miracle, isn't it?

[...why does Oscar the six year old is somehow the smartest person in Heaven?]

I guess, yeah. It's just...it's weird, y'know? I'm not even outta school yet and here I am. Being a god.

[ Wow, she's seven now. ]

I'm still in school, too! Being a god's kinda scary, huh?

[repinned]

[Close enough?]

...yeah, it is. What if I screw up?

[Ugh, flashbacks to the Ozpin thing...]

[welcome_home]

[ Rude.

But she understands what he's worried about. ]

It's okay, Oscar. Everyone makes mistakes. Even the grown-up gods! You just have to try your best. You can learn how to do it better if you keep trying!
