[ 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.

[does he sound a little salty about that? maybe.]
In short, your life is essentially dictated by this Star Stream?

[ he can be salty. she'd be salty too. ]
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.
