There are a lot of new arrivals today! Are the God-sans getting lonely?

Do Gods get lonely?

[zodiac_fan]

Why wouldn't they?

[bentorequests]

...

They usually aren't real.

[zodiac_fan]

In the story of the zodiac, God asked all his animal friends to come to a banquet with him! That means He was probably lonely.

[bentorequests]

I thought the zodiac story was about the race?

[zodiac_fan]

They were racing to get to the banquet!

[bentorequests]

I thought they were racing to be on the animals of the zodiac?

[zodiac_fan]

The version my mom told me had them going to the banquet... The rat told the cat that the wrong day as a practical joke, so the cat didn't get to be part of it... That's why when I was little, I like to pretend that my sign was the cat instead of the dog, since I felt sorry for the poor cat, being tricked like that!

[bentorequests]

Hn. I'm not familiar with that version.

[zodiac_fan]

Oh...It's not a very nice story, is it? Since God ended up punishing the cat for something that wasn't his fault.

[bentorequests]

Hm. I'll see if I can remember the other version, it's not as sad.

[zodiac_fan]

Ah? I'm glad there is a happy version! But I think the sad version is more likely to be true...

Or something. Loneliness isn't just a human thing, Doumeki.

[bentorequests]

It's not as if I've had the chance to learn these things firsthand before, Alma.

[songbeneath]

I was just saying...

....Well, now you know.
