[deference]

From: William T. Spears

Why is the Internet like this?
I am highly disappointed in it.
Surely there is more to it than this.

Everyone can be much better than this.
Much, much better.
Honestly.

And whoever told my god about these cellphones, I would like a word.
Many of them.

Grell Sutcliffe.
I am publicly shaming you for your behavior so that you will cease.
Please stop sending me SO MANY messages.
And no, I do not like any of the emoji.
None of them.
Not one of them.

Having attachments to anything and any person.
It is something I find "wrong."
I cannot tell you why I feel this way, of course, Grell Sutcliffe.
But I can tell you that if told every day that I am loved, eventually, I may feel some sort of attachment.
And that would cause you trouble.
Now that I have made this public knowledge, this should save me trouble later.
So I hope.

[untodeath]

Oh, William.

[untodeath]

Our lives have changed in a big way, since coming here, and may continue to do so; however, I can assure you, our bond will remain a constant, and I am willing to challenge anything which may threaten that. I'm quite content to make that public knowledge, as well!

In any case, where would a troublesome god be without the companionship of their shinki? I rather think that we need each other.

[deference]

I did promise someone that I would ensure that you would be a good god.
You are taking over the mantle of someone else, in case you did not know.
And followers expect a lot from you, too.
It is true that you will need guidance from just what I have seen.
Still attachment is a but too much at the moment.

[untodeath]

Yes, yes. I'm taking over for the Morrígan, I'm to listen to your advice, and address the needs of the people. But if it's too much now, perhaps it will be less so later! Don't box yourself into somewhere I can't reach you, Will.

[deference]

I am happy to hear that you are taking this so seriously.

Where you can't reach me? Hm. I will think on it more in any case.

[untodeath]

[ She... okay, she'll just roll with it. ]

We're to be successful, are we not?

In any case, I suppose that's all I can ask for! 💋

[deference]

That is correct.
If we are not successful, I will be UPSET.

Indeed.
If you ask for more, I perhaps will make a "boundary" and lock you in some room.

[untodeath]

Oh! Such threats! You would learn how to do that just for ME?

[deference]

... if I must.

Also, please beware of this Internet.
It allows us to get far too close to humans.
It also allows us to forget ourselves and pretend that we're part of their world and community.
It's dangerous.
And don't believe everything you read on it.
Understand, Grell Sutcliffe?

[untodeath]

You worry too much, Will! If anything, it could provide useful for keeping in touch with them. We've much to catch up on, if we're to meet their expectations!

Besides, have you seen how easy it is to shop on this thing? It's magnificent!

[deference]

We can meet their expectations when we answer their prayers.
There is no reason to get text and communication and cat images into this.

... do not spend all our money on whatever you're buying.
There is still groceries that we have to get.

[untodeath]

It's about appealing to a new generation! If the cats don't do it for you, perhaps birds will?



I haven't purchased anything! Yet.

[deference]

Is something wrong with that bird?

[2/2]

[deference]

Yet.

[untodeath]

It's been turned off, clearly!

Yet! There's quite a bit to choose from, you know! Additionally, a credit card is required, anyway, and we've yet to acquire one of those. Absolutely something that we must look into!

[deference]

... it's dead?

I don't know how I feel about any of this.
No, I know.
Negatively.
I feel negatively.

[untodeath]

Yes. Yes, it is!

As previously stated, you worry too much. These things are essential for catching up with the times!

[deference]

Pity.

The times are awful.
With their "lol" and emoji.

[untodeath]

We'll keep trying at this humor thing, darling.

But, oh, I think you will come around! At the very least, you must admit that modern technology have alleviated many nuances of our time. Aside from instant messaging, and vast amounts of knowledge, media, and resources at our fingertips, I'm quite a fan of plumbing. Instant baths!

[deference]

If we must.

That's right. I suppose those things are nice. A nice instant bath to rest in after a long day is acceptable. It means that I can go to rest sooner and work better tomorrow.

[untodeath]

We must!

There, you see? Though, now my mind is filled with images of a handsome William in the water! Ah, I bet your hair is darling all wet and messy. ♥♥♥

[deference]

It's just hair, Grell Sutcliffe.

[untodeath]

Just hair? Oh, Will!

Your hair is always properly kempt, but it's so much more fun to run one's hands through unstyled locks. Easier to wrap around the fingers, and so much more satisfying to tug! 💓

But would you prefer that I think about your body instead?

[deference]

No emoji.
Water tends to make hair unkempt.
There isn't much to tug.
It's rather short.
I don't see the excitement.

And my body gets me from A to B.
