Humans are irritating
Most of you are irritating
Most of these prayers are irritating
Explain to me again why I must bother with this ridiculous cycle of answering these ridiculous requests only to have the very same people ask for more

I almost regret siding with you idiots in the first place.

Idiots are irritating. As for siding with idiots, in my experience almost everyone is an idiot at least some times.

Why we are here though, I suspect either a miscalculation or a joke.

Text

[connivingbird]

of course they are
I meant humanity in general

of course it is why else would they put those that aren't concerned with this whole 'belief' thing in charge?

Text

[hontobakabaka]

Any sapient race is prone to idiocy. It is the whole being driven by wants as opposed to what is logical.

As for why we are in charge, I have a few theories. It could be since the person in charge seems to be a child they are randomly drawing. It could be the power is completely out of control and the admins are riding this crazy situation like the rest of us. Or it could be as we aren't concerned with belief, we aren't likely to try and take over the world in the name of a theocracy.

I am very much aware of that
unfortunately I am also not in the mood of listening to said wants and needs of the current populace

I wouldn't go far as to that. I recall there may have been a few people who decided to attempt to take over. As for the rest of those theories, I cannot say if they are correct although the one goddess that is from the old group seems to be grown up

If you don't want to help, then don't.

[THIS SEEMS FAIRLY SIMPLE TO HIM]

[connivingbird]

that depends on your definition of 'help'
I don't mind fighting those things
it's the rest of this place that's irritating

[cursedblood]

You sound as though you aren't used to suffering small irritations as a course of daily life.

I would suggest you learn.

[connivingbird]

one. I am not human I do not like humans a majority of the time
two. I've been living for over 800 years. just because I do not like humanity does not I haven't had irritations in my life.

[revolutionfalcon]

I'm sure I don't need to explain the obvious reasons for taking prayers, even if you don't particularly like humans. Much as it might not seem like it, they're not the only ones who profit from them.

Then again, for someone who thinks humans are irritating, you might as well have offered yourself up to some of the most irritating of them by making this post.

[Translation: He's pretty sure Ankh wasn't that much of a sucker for punishment last time they met.]

[connivingbird]

[he knows he knows he really has offered himself up for stupid arguments hasn't he? but he needs the distraction please distract him.]

i feel like i need some kind of stimulating conversation but this lot is more on the offended kind
visit if you want to know more

[revolutionfalcon]

So they're mostly the irritating ones that refuse to believe they're irritating.

Give me a minute.

[He means literally a minute, he is fully prepared to teleport over to Ankh's temple about this because now he's curious, and Ankh is...well, not a friend, but also not someone he'd turn down on an invitation like that.]

[risetocaesar]

Well, as long as we're here, what else are we supposed to do?

Text

[connivingbird]

[hello someone who actually sounds reasonable. Ankh is impressed. a little.]

ask why we were brought here?
attack those who are just cooperating with the tasks given us?
ramble about love, sex and the like?

it seems there are a lot of things that people do except when the near shore becomes infected with things that need destroying

Text

[risetocaesar]

[He certainly tries.]

I've been asking, but not getting a lot in the way of answers.
Trick would be asking the right people, probably, but I don't know who or where the hell they are.

Is helping out really so bad? Especially since there's not much keeping you from doing those other things the rest of the time.
I haven't been here long. Helping just seemed like the thing to do.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I have an answer, but I think you probably already know, considering what you told me when we first met.

Text

[connivingbird]

and if you know me from our conversations, you would probably guess as to my needing to ask such things

are your shinki well?

Text

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's true. Unfortunately, I think it's because of the human impulse of greed, like you said before. If someone gets something for free, it gives them an expectation.

And yes, Psyche's safe and well. Thank you for asking. I know there have been some worrisome things going on.

[disciplineking]

You're irritating.

[connivingbird]

good

[jocularly]

Just imagine yerself in their shoes. If ye prayed an' prayed for somethin', would ye be happy if yer god ignored it?

[connivingbird]

I am filling in the roll of Fortuna
the Goddess of the Wheel, of good and bad, of victory and defeat
either the very hopeless or the very foolish would openly admit to being a followers of someone who's whims could destroy just as much as they can save

[jocularly]

Aye. There are many who are hopeless and many who are foolish. Ye could try ta teach them with yer answers.

[volksdaemon]

Not gonna bother trying to convince you because I absolutely agree.

[connivingbird]

another ray of sunshine I see.
nice

[volksdaemon]

Sarcasm doesn't go well over text, but yes I am that sort. Not my fault you sided with them once before.
Regrets? Sour grapes?
