Is there anyone else here from my world I should know about?

To everyone else: I'm sorry about the loud, screaming goddess you just heard. She has this stupid thing against humans where she wants to wipe them all out. Just ignore her. Even if she is being really loud.

How is their savagery my fault?!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

You didn't do anything to stop them, did you?

[forceofnature]

...

I was going with the whole 'humans are special' deal back then. They used to be so good - harvest festivals and offerings to nature... I thought they were going through a phase.

By the time I started intervening, they were so used to trampling all over me that it was too late.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

See, that was your problem. There's ways you can make humans know you're there without directly interfering, you know. Lady Palutena does it all the time. It works just fine for her!

[forceofnature]

If telling them not to cut down every tree in the forest didn't work, how would gently nudging them indirectly do anything?!

And Palutena is the goddess of light! She's fine as long as they don't start worshiping Hades outright! I have to keep them in line constantly!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I think we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, Viridi.

As long as you don't start attacking humans again, that is.

[forceofnature]

Hmph. As long as they don't start destroying nature, they're fine.

Not that there's any nature to destroy here, anyway.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Look, Viridi. We were all called here to help save this world. We need to work together if we want to do that. That means working with humans. Can you promise me you won't try anything?

[forceofnature]

I exist to protect the world, Pit. I know my responsibilities as a deity.

So I will. I'll save this world. All of it. Not just the humans. Not just the 'special' humans. Everything with heart and essence and life. If they're taking responsibility for once to assume their rightful place in the balance as stewards of the earth... why would I do anything?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Even if they aren't, it's not your place to punish them.

[forceofnature]

Right, sorry, I forgot, we leave that entirely up to the bad karma they accumulate until the universe has enough and strikes back.

Oh wait. That's me.

Of course it's my place; we created them!

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

This isn't our world, Viridi! You don't control anything here. You're a citizen of Hinoto-Ri, just like everyone else. So either play nice or go home. Or join the Anoli if you're so bent on causing chaos. They're terrorists, so I'm sure they'd love to have a bomb expert on their team!

[forceofnature]

First off, unless I've been creating new humans in my sleep, I was talking about our humans. Second off, I don't know what you have against lizards, but only humans can be terrorists.

Third off, you can find someone else to help you fly the next time you get your goddess possessed by a soul-devouring evil. You weren't even this much of a blithering idiot when you were blasting my troops.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Fine!
