Before any of these disastrous curses that I've been hearing so much about hit, I really ought to find a job.

[The text that follows is one part job application, one part test of the deities' reactions, and one part terrible joke. Enjoy.]I worked for the British Foreign Ministry in my world--that means I'm a diplomat. I'm not terribly sure how to

[...Oh my. She certainly didn't expect him to go for it right away and on such a grand scale.]

It's... a pretty ambitious project! Now you put it like that. Do let me know if you have any luck so I can start worrying big time.

[icingkills]

You'll probably find out if I do.

[soulofocean]

It'd be one HUGE step forward when it comes to deities-citizens relations, no doubt about that...

[icingkills]

Do you think they'll go for it?

[soulofocean]

With these deities? You never really know.

I've always wondered if the curses are their responsibility. And if that's the case, if they pick what to throw at us depending on their mood...

[icingkills]

If that's so, maybe I'll lighten the mood.

[soulofocean]

Then I guess you'll really be doing all of us one big service...

[icingkills]

They could get angry at my suggestion and decide to curse us more.

[soulofocean]

...Geez, that's-!! ...Also possible. In that case I'd have to carry my part of the guilt too.

[icingkills]

Not at all. You did warn me, and I went ahead with it anyway.

But I don't think that will happen.

[soulofocean]

............Like I told you, you never know.

[icingkills]

That's what makes it interesting, don't you think?

[soulofocean]

Me? I'd rather go for a kind of certainty. But, that sort of thing's just not available here. Not when it comes to the deities.

[icingkills]

I haven't had the best experiences with certainty lately. I think I prefer this.

[soulofocean]

What do you mean? Isn't it always better to have some sort of certainty, in your opinion?
