Makes you wonder why they care so much about wiping this place out. And why it's taking so long.
( Yeah, sure, the gods have been running, but surely that can't be all that's kept them alive. As for the best way to stop them, Kate has no idea. Ideally, cutting them off at the source. But to do that, they'd have to get there.
Seems like a waste of energy if they're already running.
( Of course, that never stopped Rosenberg from sending people out to the Underground because of "threats" that were nothing more than Creatures trying to live their lives. )
Stuck with feelings anyway.
( Kate's... kind of grown to accept that maybe feelings aren't the terrible thing she used to believe they were. There are still times, moments where she thinks this mindset is stupid, that she should have stuck with trying to shut herself down, but they've led to a lot of good things too. A desire to do and be more. )
When you think about it, they probably had a whole planet of hosts before to provide energy. And there was a lot more of them to spread it out between?
I think this is an extreme case. Survival mode. They only need so much because they're dying. Maybe they wouldn't just to sustain things. Maybe it won't always be this way.
( She can get that. It probably is. Who knows how much of this planet they haven't seen yet. Only this city and the dead outskirts, really. There could be all the signs of a great planet if they could travel a little further. )
Maybe doesn't mean much right now. No idea how long it'll take Hope to have the energy to revive them.
( And, with the Null attacks, she's sure whatever schedule has been set back a while. Sure that the invasion won't be the last time they're stuck fighting like that, or the last time Hope will be in significant danger. )
[ It is a planet. Honestly, the cave had felt... quaint even compared to Haven. It took hours to get to North and back and there was lots of room to roam even within the city itself. ]
I always wondered, actually, why Hope didn't just revive another Hope. Get the process started. Maybe they need all the gods of one group to be able to do that?
Like summoning Captain Planet, you need all the forces of nature combined.
[ Excuse her, she. She needs a moment after imagining a female version of Sorrow. She can see it in her mind's eye, black hair and even darker eyes that would look at her like they could kill and-
Gods, when did it get so hot in here. Haha, has it always been this hot?

that's a really good point maybe we'll eventually know

[ But there's also no telling what could happen when Rose goes back into starvation mode.
Oh, wait. Yes, there is. ]
With The Null still a problem,
yeah. Hard to say.

Was told that their race spans solar systems.
( After seeing how many of them invaded Hadriel only recently, the concept is chilling. They won't have made the barest dent in numbers. )
Doubt we'll get much of a breather.
Re: text;
Of course they do.
Why wouldn't they!
But yeah, you're right.
Hopefully we can figure out the best way to strike them though.

It's a work in progress. )

Makes sense to get rid of creatures that manipulate it.
Feelings are fucking terrifying. Can't blame them.

Not the Null.
They figured out how to beat the game.
The only exception is the gods.
text;
Fair.
( And there's the other reason Kate can't hate feelings right now. At least they separate her from being something like The Null.
Assholes. )

Not that going full robo is the way to go either
all about balance

All their power comes from getting enough emotion from us. Don't provide enough by ourselves.
( Otherwise they wouldn't go through the events they do. )

I don't know.

Lots of reasons he might not have. Might not even be able to revive them. Just whatever lived here.
text;
Hmm. We'll have to see, I guess.
It'd be bizarre to have two Hopes running around anyway.

( Kate pls Hope's ur fave. )
text;
I don't know if I could handle more than one Sorrow though, honestly

( Maybe a second Sorrow wants to look like a dork rather than a chiseled god. )
text;
I hadn't even considered that
eugh
and I don't want to
I'm too attached to what our gods look like now
[ 'Our' gods. ]
just multiply the hotness, thanks
text;
Could look like his twin sister or something.
( Who knows. The gods seem to want to be hot, though. )
text;
Gods, when did it get so hot in here. Haha, has it always been this hot?
H e l p ]
that's
a really good point
maybe we'll eventually know
text;
Would be interesting to know what this place was like before all of this.
( Like, sure, they can make guesses, but what was this world really like. )
text;
You and me both, honestly.
I'm sure once the gods aren't so shellshocked from everything
we can hopefully get some answers
