I'm guessing that's not the kind of stuff he could explain in a personal essay?

Mortals don't know anything about that stuff. They'd just think he's a crazy troublemaker...even more than they do already.

[heartlands]

Lame...

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

I know...geez. Guess you were kinda right about his dad.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Oh, yeah, that guy sounds like he sucks.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

Wanna guess how many times he's hugged his kid?

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

If it's zero I'm gonna lose it.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Okay actually that's worse because it shows he knows he should do it but just doesn't bother.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

He's...trying. Gods just don't make super great or attentive parents.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

He could try harder.

[ opens mouth

closes mouth ]

...yeah, guess so.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

What is it?

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

You're not gonna like it.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

I already don't like it, go ahead.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

The gods' kids sorta keep dying too young for them to try harder.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Okay first off, that's really sad, but secondly and not any less importantly, that's not an excuse!

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

I mean. If you lived for millennia, and you're used to zoning out and missing centuries and it's no biggie, kids who live like twelve to eighteen years max are pretty easy to miss.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Yeah no I don't agree with that at all.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

Don't get me wrong, I definitely think it sucks.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Yeah. I mean... If they can un-zone out long enough to have kids, they can un-zone out long enough to pay any attention to them.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

You'd think.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

Exactly.

Re: day 251 sometime

[audacity]

...guess I should be glad it wasn't worse, though. That was just an annoying vision.

Re: day 251 sometime

[heartlands]

What do you mean?
