to: everyone

Everyone. There has been nothing convenient about entertaining a few of our divine friends these past months. At this point, I believe some of them meddle in our lives on purpose. But you know how these beings are. Loving, violent and above all selfish. But their conduct should never be mistaken as good or bad.

Do you want the opinion of a professional? It’s human.

Of course, when I examine our delusions about being divine, and remember my mortal origins, it motivates me to question where they come from.

Were they once human like us?

In any case, I would like to remind you that your memories will take you by surprise. Not today. Nor tomorrow. But someday you will recall more about who you were, and perhaps find you cannot stand it. And whether that happens today or tomorrow, take a seat and have a drink, and try not to take yourself too seriously.

What, with the Heralds? Honestly, I don't know if I've any wisdom to share. What I do know is that their arrival's made things a lot worse for those on the ground—I live in Cadens, I've seen Adlewyrd's work. I've had to deal with the aftershocks of that work.

I suppose what I'm getting at here is that it might be war, but what they're up to is going to make things that much worse for us and the natives, and that's really the absolute last thing we need.

Perhaps. But sometimes one requires a crisis for people and the world to change. And sudden change is rarely for the better. I expect the government will pass some political act; one that will divide us.

Well, no time like the present for a world-changing crisis, I suppose. And here's me without even a hat to keep the shit from landing on my head, when it gets everywhere.

"Will"? Given everything that's been happening lately, we're already rather divided. Don't need the blokes in charge to pass an act just to drive that home.

[He might just be one of those people himself, distrustful as he is of the government here.]

What, not very trusting of the authorities and their kindly intentions? What a shock, what a surprise. Someone splash it across the headlines and spread the papers around.

[Ignoring that sarcasm, thank you!]
