[ i love that for her. also hi eupha, they scoot a little to give her room to sit. ]

Giant axolotl. [ thank you. ] They were... old, I think. Like the kind of old where they were pretty out of touch with reality but also still insightful about other things. They were also pretty elusive and good about not actually answering questions without posing other questions first. Aloof, but also sometimes patient. I guess they were good enough as a god since they did it for so long.

[ giant axolotl........

she is trying to imagine it, so you can now see a giant axolotl. it gets bigger as she wonders how big is "giant." ]


I imagine that it is not often that a god simply retires. Did they give any reason for that decision?

[ it's fine, she can be treated to a thoughtshare of this thing. the pines twins are not there, but that's about the scale. ]

Not a real one. I think... they just wanted to. They'd been God for so long they thought retirement sounded nice.

I see... I suppose even gods reach such a point.

Do you know where they are now?

If I had to guess? Somewhere far the hell away from here in another part of heaven. Probably on vacation.

I suppose that is what retirement is for...

How is a new god chosen? Did the old one get a say in it?

The old god picked the new god themselves. I don't think anybody else really had a say in it.

So it was someone they knew and trusted?

I don't think I'd go that far. It wasn't like a nepotism hire, but they seemed to think the new god was the way they wanted to go.

Oh...

And what did you think of the new god?

[ they go quiet, seemingly pondering on this. ]

I don't think they were right for the job initially. They're doing better now and they're still dedicated to what they set out to do, but... I don't know. We don't always see eye to eye, and we don't talk much. I get most of my information from the girls.

[ the priestess in her is like. is it really okay to say that about god... ]

I'm a little surprised to hear that... What sort of matters did you not agree on?

[ it probably is not, but whatever. ]

Our approaches to things, mostly. [ ... ] I don't resent them. I also just don't know how to feel about them most of the time, but I'm not going to abandon the project halfway through either.
