[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.

Maybe people do favors for them because they're nice.

[deathboss]

Hell no, Hades never gave any fetch quests to anyone!

[greyerrant]

I do not bend to them anymore than I bend to you.

[bondsofsuffering]

If the job's fun, I'm sure people will want to help you out too.

Although... You're a goddess? I didn't realize even the divine were brought here.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

...well, I do really like these hairpins, but I helped out Miss Caroline because she asked nicely.

[maybe_a_king]

I do run a delivery business, Miss Viridi. If you would like me to deliver or pick something up for you, just let me know.

[She won't even charge the first few times out of a show of goodwill.]

[greatergone]

It is weird. I was told that I was to do this for the benefit of humans but why would I wish to support such a cause?

But, if you are willing to help, I wouldn't be against doing small tasks.

[killervocabulary]

[...okay, Ginia had done well and good to ignore her COMP for a while, but this had not happened before. This voice is supposedly divine, out to reward mortals for tasks, condescending about how mortals operate...]

Are you a Daedra?

voice;

[selfgodded]

Oh, are you in need of assistance? Although you are not human, I am more than happy to extend a helping hand if you need it! Altruism breeds happy feelings, I am told.

I have been told proper advertising is necessary when extending helping hands though - oh, hold on...

[You know the drill - crazy text time]

~*anant is offering assistance. assistance.*~

ヘ(￣ω￣ヘ)

(ノ￣ω￣)ノ

assistance.

There. Is that good?

[nyxterious]

I think some might just want to help out. I know I'm not interested in a new weapon, or Persona.

[As weird as that is.]

I just like helping people. It makes them happy, doesn't it? That's the usual case, anyway. So, if you need help, I would be happy with helping you with what you needed! Nothing makes me happier than making others happy.

[tangentlion]

Do you ever shut up?! Fractal!!

Though I'm interested in what kind of stuff you can give me. If I decided to help your zetta loud mouth, that is.

[getoutclaus]

A God of nature babbling on about treasure? And I thought money was the root of all evil.

Seriously, though, I'm only after the shiny trinkets like a horse chasing a carrot on a stick. Show me the carrot and you have my axe, crazy nature girl.

"Actually, through listening to what they want I was trying to come to a greater understanding of the denizens of the Velvet room, but if there is something I can help you with please feel free to ask. A break in the tedium of system setup can be welcome."

[stolemylook]

[Oh boy; he thought he felt a whine was going to happen some time today.]

No one's going to want to do you favors.
