Hello you lot. I know people might still be pissed about what went down, so ignore if you don't want an update, however.

So Riverstone sent us medical reports but since I don't know what any of it means, if someone with modern/medical know-how wants to look and explain shite, I'll send it to you. These are the summaries I think I understood:

Our powers don't seem to be biological? So when we used them they didn't show any biological changes? I think? Don't know what that means.

I agreed to do a dream study to try and figure out why I keep showing up in your dreams, they said strangely our brains appear completely awake when we're doing it. No wonder I'm bloody tired.

Also can someone who's been around for a bit explain what the Mariana Trench was?

Added: I got weary of not letting other people take the buck on this one, they gave us the name James Henries and said if we told you lot they'd lose their advantage. Hopefully not, but there you go!

let me be clear
i do not care a giant's hangnail for suitable

[impede]

I'm in agreement.

It's a pleasure, by the way. Your brother is a patron of mine.

[ofmyth]

is he now

[ thor knows that there are people out there who are the type to be patronised by this brother. he's just not sure how he feels about them ]

and i did not say it must be divine if it were not biological. there are other ways in which we might be using these powers

[impede]

Of course.

[To the first part. Perhaps to the second, too.]

But I also know that you're well aware of what the running theory is here. I was only mistaken in not introducing myself sooner.

[ofmyth]

what is your theory on the matter, then?

[impede]

Only a god can be suppressed by another god.

[ofmyth]

have you had much to do with gods in the past?

[impede]

I have.

[ofmyth]

in my experience, there are all kinds of things which can take down a god

[impede]

I didn't say that it took you down.

[ofmyth]

neither did i

but you said only a god could suppress another. that has not been my experience.

[impede]

Fair enough. I was being reductive.

But the point does stand, doesn't it? Stripping you and him so thoroughly of your abilities. They weren't even god-given. They were simply of gods.

[ofmyth]

it's been done before.

my own father has done it to me, on occasion

[impede]

Fathers do seem rather fond of fucking us over.

[ofmyth]

that is true

in this case, it was what I needed.

[impede]

Oh? Would an outsider agree?

[ofmyth]

most would, I think.

as a young man, I was a boor who cared little for others. I wouldn't be the god I am today if not for those years spent on Earth

[impede]

[How ... optimistic and hopeful, and nothing like the story he hoped to twist.]

How fortunate for you.

You did say several times. Was the lesson one you had to relearn multiple times?

[ofmyth]

it is a lesson that other gods could stand to learn.


and my banishment to earth was his last resort, he'd tried other things before that

[impede]

But how likely is it that they ever will? Sometimes a god needs to be cut down to learn anything at all, and then it's too late.
