[And suddenly there might be a twinge of guilt for every time he said "Hello, Maiden."

(Except no, that would require having more than the sensitivity of a sledgehammer. Sorry, Maiden.)]

So who's your friend? Flower Power? I think that was their name.

[forgottenmercy]

Serpent-Twined Graveflower is her, ah, title...

Friend is, ah, rather too strong, I think.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What's a better description then?

Living roommate? As opposed to all the rest.

[forgottenmercy]

Fairweather ally, at, ah, best?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ally for what?

I assume this is occurred while that asshole was still out and about.

[forgottenmercy]

Sometimes our, ah, goals align, but for...entirely different purposes.

And, ah, yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that have to do with that location?

[And yanno.

The fact that everyone and everything besides them was well--- dead]

[forgottenmercy]

She, ah, targets powerful, awful men. But on behalf of her master's plans, usually. And we are, ah, often both in the same region.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And who does she serve? Something as impressive as Death?

[forgottenmercy]

She, ah, serves one of the 'Deathlords' - no, not death. Extremely, ah, powerful ghost-kings of the Underworld.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Same or different from Shrike?

[forgottenmercy]

Different. Shrike served the Walker in Darkness: Serpent-Twined Graveflower served the Mask of Winters.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opens mouth. Closes it]

Right right. Darkness versus winter. Silly me. How could I forget?





Do you have cliff notes for gods in your world?

[forgottenmercy]

[what the fuck are cliff notes]

A shorthand...? [he is guessing] Ah, no...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

More like a five minute summary. With some nice visuals so I don't get people mixed up.

[forgottenmercy]

It is, ah, a bit difficult given how many gods there are.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then just the ones you, Shrike, Eclipse and mom serve.

[forgottenmercy]

Maybe, ah, sometime in the future...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

What god does mom serve?

[forgottenmercy]

A, ah, local war god, who sacrificed their existence in order to empower her. But I haven't yet remembered their name.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

A god died for your mother?

[forgottenmercy]

...sometimes in, ah, grave circumstances, a god who isn't one of the great gods will have need to choose a mortal. But it...always comes at a cost, for them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Excuse him a moment while he processes this information.






HOLY SHIT]

[forgottenmercy]

So the, ah, resulting Chosen are...rare.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see.

Well.

That explains a lot. ... And she retired anyway?
