Akira Fudo insisted on foisting it off to me. I did need to change my bandages on occasion—and there wasn't much else to use during my fight with Scaramouche.
[the amount of times they had to put their attempts to kill each other on hold because chandra's wounds reopened...]
They were on my person when I died. I have no further need for them now, though.
Uriel slowly sits back down, a brief furrow with the fight mention but it's gone not a moment later.
she nods after, raising her arm as her ink-like blood drips ]
Akira Fudo is quite the caring individual. [ not just towards Scaramouche, but Chandra too. that isn't surprising. he is burying his way into even the skrunkly hearts. ]
[ BECAUSE THE ANGLE IS DIFFICULT TO??? SHE DOESN'T HAVE FOUR ARMS LIKE ORV!SURYA. still looking at him expectantly, though his words get a bit of a distant look. ]
It is different for Constellations. If they are not easily killed by another stronger than them, they can erase from existence when their stories are forgotten.
[he hums, also still not making a move to help her.]
In my universe, the nastikas were created first, to be the most powerful race but only able to live and die once. Next, the gods as their opposite, built to be just lesser than their equal in strength, but able to return from death to fight them. Then came humans.
... With the way your world works, it sounds almost as though humans have the most power, whether or not they know it, as the race most attached to holding onto "stories".
[ this is exactly why she bites you later, and not at all for other reasons. she'll attempt to one hand wrap around her arm then. i rolled a 5 so it falls to the ground. ...damb ]
And what does the God of Darkness do? [ she knows some but, really it's a certain story that seems to latch onto Chandra's words. seeming to respond to his story. ]
...In a way, they do. Majority of Constellations only care to see humans beneath them. Though without their spread of tales, share of stories, we may as well have never been born. It's because of a certain reader some of us were able to see an end without Scenarios.
[URIEL YOUR BANDAGE he will reach down to pick it up for her at least.]
Exist as the Darkness of the world, of course.
[...]
Well, it's not hard to see why. Humans generally tend to be inferior lifeforms. [unfortunately chandra is an arrogant shit who looks down on humans.] But those who think might alone is everything are also foolish.
[ you know, at least he'll do that much. she's appreciative. it's okay this time i rolled high and she manages to wrap her arm quite well. ]
That's all?
[ there's a difference between looking down on them and just generally playing their lives for complete sport.
... ] It's the one thing every Constellation looks forward to. You can still live your life without knowing but. For some, they likely spend the rest of their lives looking for that end. Doing anything to find it. Enough to twist themselves, become Outer Gods. Which never ends well.
Sure, "that's all" if you only look at it simply. [though he doesn't seem to be particularly pressed to elaborate.] There's also all the work that befalls the gods in general.
[...]
What comes after the end, then? Cessation of existence?
And if you don't look at it simply? [ she wants his story. greedy ] The general work in protecting the realms and all?
[ a tilt of her head. ]
..No. Peace. Though you find your 'end', it is more akin to... the end of a story? Your own personal ending. For some it might be sacrifice, for others it could be salvation, neverending story... it depends on the person.
Well, the general duties of just about any god involve... extending the lifespan of the universe and disposing of what might threaten it, helping Yama to process souls in the underworld, fighting the suras, giving humans oracles, answering their summons, forming the basis of humanity's magic system, etc.
[he's quiet, looking like he's thinking over this for a bit.]
And the Scenarios are necessary for this, rather than simply existing?
[ that is. so much? okay, you know, him wanting some peace and quiet makes a lot more sense now actually i'm in tears. ]
I hardly remember a time where Scenarios weren't running. Once the Star Stream takes over a universe, Scenarios begin for all lifeforms. But regarding one's end... Given that Scenarios act as obstacles that must be overcome in order to progress towards the overall end of the scenarios... yes, it does seem to be necessary.

If you don't mind then. I'd appreciate it.

He was more tolerable when he couldn't stand to be in my presence.

Like I said, I won't be using it anymore, now that I have my regeneration back.

You are very prickly with some people.
[ she says as he offers her the bandages so kindly. but she looks at him expectantly. he'll help bandage her right? he is an expert at it after all. ]
You have something like that? That's handy...

More or less. It is a game of survival for Incarnations, and a means to an end for Constellations. Failure almost always ends in death.
