yo. it’s your favorite god, tezcatlipoca

[ is he saying this just because he knows people will argue over it? absolutely. this is also not the point of this post, so, ]

I’m sure you’ve either heard or personally seen how our base is in a pretty shit state at the moment. hopefully you’re done crying about it since it’s time to move on, especially when it’s an opportunity

see the way I see it, home base has a hell of a lot of remodeling on the horizon so why not take advantage? this is a prime opportunity to make it, you know, less shit

you ever had a bright idea for how to improve the place? let's hear it. I know exactly who to bother about getting shit done so I’ll take all the good ideas and see what we can do

of course we’re going to be doing the bulk of work regardless. a lot easier to sell an idea when they don’t have to worry about who’s actually going to be getting it done. might as well add our personal touch to spruce up the place, right?

[ ooc ; he’s serious, actually,,,

aka this is an IC companion post to a player plot to help with rebuilding and remodeling the base! While characters can suggest whatever they want on this post, please comment with your serious requests on the companion OOC post. if you’d just be interested in contributing AC points to this effort, see here! ]

well yeah the answer's no but not because of that???

I don't play favorites???

[ kaladin is right though daybit is his favorite ]

[gyve]

Yeah well neither do I
I'm a holy knight radiant
My opinion has to be untouched by biases

( extremely full of shit )

[fursuit]

bullshit

HOLY knight means you got a bias. or someone's biased for you. whatever. can be the same thing when it comes to the divine practically speaking

you're just saying no for the sake of it

[gyve]

It's not me with the bias
I'm an agnostic remember
Besides a dead god can't favour anyone

Some aspects of you will always frustrate my attempts to take the next step in my life I don't blame you for them
I blame my own weaknesses and dependence on them

I like you Tez
You do not have to prove it to anyone

[fursuit]

ugh. makes it hard to argue with you when you put it that way dammit

except for that last point

proving it to ereshkigal is because it annoys her. simple as

[gyve]

( wait ... he won HALF A DEBATE? and the other party ADMITTED TO IT?

[metal gear solid alert sfx] )

No one has ever said that to me
Not once

Do you have to bully her
What did she do to you

[fursuit]

yeah well don't get used to it. you won't be hearing it from me again

[ this is probably not true, but ]

and please. this is low on the tier of bullying. gentle bullying even. she's gotta toughen up somehow right

[gyve]

If I knew how to read and write I'd paste it to the wall in my quarters

( you're all safe from kaladin making an "i was fucking right the whole time" wall )

You realize you can't toughen someone up by being mean to them right
I don't like that perspective
Bullying is just bullying
If she doesn't like it then you should stop making fun of her
Have you asked her if she likes it

( THE FUN POLICE HAVE ARRIVED )

[fursuit]

are you seriously lecturing a god

[gyve]

No I'm lecturing a scoundrel who happens to be a god

[fursuit]

you get half credit for scoundrel because that's true

but only half because you're damn lucky I don't have smiting powers at the moment you know that right

[gyve]

I've been smited enough that the threat doesn't turn my head anymore

( smited? smote? smitten? ... kaladin gives up )

But I'll keep it in mind

[fursuit]

that so? that's usually a one and done kind of deal. your smitings must have been the divine equivalent of a slap on the wrist

what'd you do to earn them?

[gyve]

It isn't very easy to talk about so I'd prefer not to
Perhaps some other time
Sorry for leading you into that
You're a curious person so naturally you'd ask

No other time was as harsh as the first so I agree with you

[fursuit]

don't worry about it. you can tell me if you feel like you want to, but I get the gist.

[ It's sincere, not that it's clear in text or his TikTokified voice, but honestly, he prefers that. It's also why he immediately returns to being a shithead right after... ]

overlooking your lecturing

technically speaking ereshkigal and I are enemies back home so this is being nice relatively speaking. could be way worse!

[ that's better right ]

[gyve]

( ... wow... )

I will Tez
Not today but soon

What makes you enemies
Is it your status as gods of death
Do you compete in that way

[fursuit]

nah luckily that doesn't get competitive. I think every god of death is happy so long as a soul ends up somewhere. with maybe an exception if multiple get attached to someone but I haven't heard of any of those cases ever conflicting

but she's got a summoner back home waiting for her same as I'll be heading back to daybit, and they've got different ideas on how the end of the world's going to play out. no chance for compromise on that so it's a fight to the death

eventually anyways

[gyve]

( ... )

That's
Surprisingly sweet

( then it's ruined by the gladiatorial-ass battle he describes )

Not the fight to the death
You know what I'm going to say about that

What does she and her summoner want for the world's end

[fursuit]

they think they're saving it

but can't tell you more than that. it's important that they figure out the problem themselves

no spoilers for ereshkigal to put it another way

[gyve]

You say the strangest things sometimes

( "No spoilers"... for people's destinies? kinda cute.......... )

They should keep trying till the last moment
You like me because I think that way
Isn't that why you should like them too

[fursuit]

I don't dislike them. I respect the resolve that's led them to even end up on my doorstep. they had plenty of chances to get annihilated before ever making it to where daybit and I have been hanging out

granted I don't like how they've been conducting their battles but I know you'd be on their side of things there. their lack of casualties isn't to my taste

it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out that's for sure

[gyve]

I suppose it is none of my business if you like each other or not

( nvm that he literally made it his business, like sure jan... )

But you're right
I can't respect that you want men and women to die
You are what the cosmere made you however
Plenty of people blame you for their miseries and I refuse to be one of them

They call it a scapegoat
I learned the word recently

[fursuit]

scapegoat might be a little too kind but I'll still take it

but if it makes you feel any better I like ereshkigal. don't feel any ill will towards her

so you don't have to worry about us trying to stab each other in the back and getting you to patch us up. that's good news right

[gyve]

Of course that's good news
I'm sick of seeing you so often

( for OTHER people's random wounds accumulated when they stumble out of the bar drunk )

That was a joke

[fursuit]

I know it is

or rather if it wasn’t? doesn’t matter. you’re stuck with me at this point

also I’ll take back what I said slightly. she might stab me in the back but probably not. we’ve got enough of a truce going on
