[Viridi has learned her lesson.

...Well no she hasn't she never does, but she can at least recognize the fact that the people here were too stupid to be expected to understand why gods needed to communicate the way they did.  Or how, exactly, this sort of communication worked. 

The telepathic broadcast is once again aimed to everyone within the city.  Instead of ringing directly in the ears of the unwashed masses, though, it seems to be reverberating from their communications devices instead.  There's an oddly echoing quality to it, and they'll find that her voice is impossible to shut off through the COMP, but hey.  She tried.]

So.

You've all been busy.  Paying visits to the mysterious 'Velvet Room', huh?

I couldn't help but notice that you're all practically lining up out the door to do favors for some strangers you don't know from Adam.  I'd call it altruistic, but we all know you're just hoping to get some shiny trinkets out of it.  A new weapon here, a better Persona there...  Call me crazy, but it's almost like you're making offerings in the hopes of receiving a blessing from some higher power you're pretty sure is benevolent.  Isn't it weird how familiar that sounds?  And you know, come to think of it, I could use a spare hand for some fetch quests, too.  Since you're all just so eager to be helpful, I'm sure you have time to spare.

Of course, I don't need anyone's faith, but a few favors here and there might just mean some handy-dandy divine intervention in your future.  I'm a goddess of my word.

You can even ask Pit!  My Treasure Hunt board had the ideal balance of difficulty to reward.  Palutena's was the lamest thing ever and Hades basically made his for sadists.  So act fast!  Once I've got what I want, you're just plain old out of luck.

Hey, he doesn't listen to me. All I can do is keep an eye on him and keep him from doing something stupid.

[forceofnature]

I'd say dating a human girl is so far beyond the realm of stupid it falls into brain-damaged.

[stolemylook]

...wait, that's what he's getting all worked up about?

[Pit? Dating? ...PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. Excuse him while he struggles not to crack up.

[forceofnature]

This is serious! If we don't do something, he's going to make some choices that'll haunt him forever! Do you want to deal with this forever?! Forever, that's four evers and a few kajillion more!

[stolemylook]

That idiot wouldn't know what to do with a girl even if he read the instruction manual. Don't worry about it.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Ex-cuse me?

[stolemylook]

There is no excuse for you.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Why are you guys always so mean to me?!

[stolemylook]

You make it too easy.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ Pit frowns.

Look at this sad frown. ]

[forceofnature]

They're going to have babies! And they'll all be total dorks! Winged semi-immortal dork babies running around ruining everything!

[stolemylook]

...I think you're overreacting a little...

[A pause, before he smirked.]

You wouldn't want people to think you're jealous.

[forceofnature]

Stop being ridiculous!

I... want what's best for Pit; it's entirely out of the goodness of my pure and beautiful heart.

Hmph.

[stolemylook]

Jealous.

[forceofnature]

We're talking about Pit here, not me. Get back on topic.

[stolemylook]

Whatever.

Both topics are pretty boring.

[forceofnature]

I can't believe I'm stuck here with Dorky McDorkwings and the Rebel Without a Cause. I'm going to lose my mind.

Where's Phosphora? Or Arlon? Just because they're secondary characters doesn't mean they don't deserve a chance here.

[stolemylook]

They're secondary characters for a reason.

Besides, with all the lead heroes from all over here, they probably wouldn't get any attention anyway.

[forceofnature]

For being aloof and mysterious, you sure do hog the spotlight a lot. Don't be so selfish; you should give them their chance to shine.

[stolemylook]

Hey, I'm a main character in my own right.

[Seriously, next game? Totally all about him.]

[forceofnature]

You're an edgy palette swap, that's what you are.

[stolemylook]

Still counts.

[forceofnature]

Whatever.

Seriously, are you going to snap Pit out of it or what? He doesn't listen to me at all. I don't know why; it's not like I'm not always right or anything.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

N-nobody said anything about having babies! We aren't even that serious yet!

[forceofnature]

Babies! Half-angel babies; you'll throw off the balance so much we'll need to make a sequel to deal with your babies!

And don't threadjack when we're talking about you behind your back; it's rude!
