Prompt 1: Everyday Life

[A nondescript man pats down his pockets, frowns, and then heads your way with purpose.]

So . . . Don't suppose I could get a smoke off of you?

Prompt 2: I Can't Believe It's Not Thusia

[Your character has died! And then . . . woken up in some cold stone room full of weird shrines??? Plus some strange dude is sitting next to you, puffing lightly on a cigarette.]

Oh, you're awake? Then welcome back to the land of the living. Or to the land of the re-living. Still not sure how the terminology works there.

Prompt 3: You Make Up A Scenario

[You make up a scenario.]

I'm assuming it doesn't work the same way for you?

[jarredforlife]

We're all kind of . . . willed into existence . . . as far as anyone can tell. So kind of similar . . . though humans aren't involved in the process, of course.

[dreamvour]

Ah . . . by your god? Or something else?

[jarredforlife]

Yeah, He's the one.

[you can practically hear the capital]

[dreamvour]

Heeeh . . . [it's a quiet hum, but interested]

We don't really deal with him or your kind often. There's never really a need to, around here.

[jarredforlife]

It's just as well. No need to drag the uninvolved into our little spats.

[dreamvour]

Likewise. Though he shows up, every now and then.

[jarredforlife]

Oh really... Well, that's a change.

[dreamvour]

Well. [she shrugs a shoulder] It isn't as though he doesn't have people here who worship him.

[jarredforlife]

That never seemed to bother Him, from what I recall...

[dreamvour]

There's other gods, here.

[jarredforlife]

Good point, good point. If there were any other gods where I was, I'd assume they were clever enough to stay out of the whole thing.

[dreamvour]

Mm, something like that. They keep to their own territories, for the most part.

[jarredforlife]

Oh yeah? Sounds like a good system.

[dreamvour]

It's been working for thousands of years, so I would hope it's at least good.

[jarredforlife]

If it's worked that long that's usually a pretty good sign that it is.

[dreamvour]

Usually. They get on fairly well, all things considered.

[jarredforlife]

Really?

[dreamvour]

Mm, really. Most of the gods get along. If they didn't, the world probably wouldn't exist.

[jarredforlife]

Hmm... Makes sense, makes sense.

[dreamvour]

Mm. It helps that many of them are related.

[jarredforlife]

So...keeping it all in the family...?

[dreamvour]

Something like that . . . ?

It's like . . . [she frowns for a moment, thoughtful] The Roman God Morpheus could be considered my uncle. And the Spider Woman, Asibikaashi, from Native American folklore could be considered a distant cousin. To put it in human terms.

Morpheus and I share a realm, so we're "related".

[jarredforlife]

Is that so?

[visibly mulls it over for a moment]

Hmm . . .

[dreamvour]

Hm?
