"You know it doesn’t work that way. And your shoes are behind the dresser."

Score 2 for Snarky Goddess. Does she have a name?

[shayna611]

Thanks! :)

She has had names, but nothing I've been terribly attached to, and I've been thinking about renaming most of the gods, so I avoided naming her here. The gods all have elements though and she is air.

Ha! I was right! (about the name of the gentleman).

And this is a very interesting conversation he is having with his goddess, about poor Kairn. (Of course. Everyone talks about poor Kairn like that. Sometimes even to his face!).

[shayna611]

Thanks! :)

I figured you would recognize him :)

I swear he gets it to his face more often than not, poor thing. I'm having a lot of fun exploring things from Roul's side.

Ha, I liked the last line. XD

Nicely done.

[shayna611]

Thanks :)

I really dig the relationship between the god and Roul. It's kind of like an old married couple, if that makes any sense.

[shayna611]

lol a 300 year old and very open marriage ;)

thanks! :)

Hmm...even gods have rules, eh? None of them have ever thought of...conveniently forgetting a few? XD

Excellent piece, though. Great dialogue. Er. Though half of it isn't technically spoken, I suppose...

[shayna611]

Thanks! :)

hopefully it's not too spoilery to say that the gods disregarding their self-imposed rules could land them in a paradoxical situation
