Hello...Deities. Hi. I'm Rory Williams.

I'm not sure if you or the City brought me here, but I might as well say that I'm new, so I don't have much firsthand knowledge, but I'm doing my best anyway. There's been a lot of stuff going on for a while, before I even got here, and some of it that just started around when I arrived. There was a clock

He says "cheers."

I don't know if you're more like Mexico or Chiclitz (however he spelled it) right now. Or Gwenhidwy. Or one of those--whatever.

He says "cheers."

[waitsforever]

Well, um...thanking in advance, to be polite... I'm sorry, I don't understand the references. Are you a deity?

[laszlo_jamf]

I'm afraid so.

[waitsforever]

You'd...rather not be? No...that's me reading into that, sorry. Look....can you answer either of my questions? I'd really appreciate it.

[laszlo_jamf]

I'm sure you would.

[waitsforever]

So...you won't.

[laszlo_jamf]

Wouldn't you rather have the satisfaction of learning these things for yourself rather than have me give you all the answers?

Of course you would.

[waitsforever]

Alright, learn it for myself, right, naturally. But why not fix things? Why don't you?

[laszlo_jamf]

Why should I?

[waitsforever]

Because...you're in charge here? And you live here as well, so you have a vested interest in making sure the place doesn't fall apart.

[laszlo_jamf]

Plausible reasoning.

But how do you know we're in charge here? How do you know that we live here? How do you know we won't pull up stakes?

After all, I wasn't here until I was dumped here. Bear it in mind, bear it away.

Why don't you go do something rather than keep talking to me?

[waitsforever]

I'm doing both. Not at once, but me talking to you doesn't mean I'm not going to do something. Call me an idiot for thinking you might be able to help. That's...not an invitation, by the way.

So...you were dropped here the same as anyone else?

[laszlo_jamf]

Damn.

You think we have that much in common? I was transferred here.

[waitsforever]

I'm just trying to work things out. If you'd say anything directly, this would go much faster. You were transferred. Which means you have more power than an average citizen. Or at least more knowledge, that you've decided not to share with anybody. You don't think that you might have some sort of level of responsibility to help out, like anyone else here?

[laszlo_jamf]

I "help out" more than you could even begin to realize.

[waitsforever]

Alright, I can't! I don't know! Why do you have to be secretive about it?
