But... won't there always be people like that? Who don't want to change their ways?

There might not be the same people, but... ideas like that, once they're there, it's hard for them to change... barring extenuating circumstances.

[divus]

It will be an entirely new world. Ideas like that won't be there to start with.

[heartmunculus]

Don't ideas like that happen eventually? Humans discriminate. Those ideas weren't there in the beginning, but over time they took root.

Are you saying that will never happen? How?

[divus]

If they come up, they won't last long. It won't be like my world.

[heartmunculus]

Are you going to step in? How is this going to work?

[divus]

I'll give them better teachings to start with. That should help, but if it doesn't, I'll send people on pilgrimages. They'll learn a better way. ♡

[heartmunculus]

I hope if you win, your world turns out the way you want it to.

Pilgrimages? What are those like? They involve travel, right?

[divus]

Yes. You go from place to place, re-learning the teachings along the way.

[heartmunculus]

Was that something you've done?

... Or was it just common where you're from?

[divus]

I've never done on myself. But everyone I know who went on one came back very different.

[heartmunculus]

For the better? How many people went?

[divus]

So many people went. It was hard to keep track! ...my parents went on one, when I was young.

[heartmunculus]

They didn't leave you alone, did they?

[divus]

[she looks down]

...they did.

[heartmunculus]

... I'm sorry.

How old were you then?

[divus]

I was a child.

...but, it was okay. While they were one, I became the kind of person I am, without their influence. ♡

[heartmunculus]

[These gods with their heart emojis and their text speak. He's just a little creature.]

Who's influence did you have? Or did you grow up on your own the whole time...?

[divus]

[someday he too can talk with heart emojis and text speak]

My own, for a while. Then they put me in an orphanage.

[heartmunculus]

Did you have friends there?

[divus]

[well

ruin actually. goes a little tense at that.]

...I can't say. So sorry! I think the oaths we swore are keeping me from sharing more than I already did.

Come see me again next week? Maybe I can say more then. ♡

[heartmunculus]

[Is it one of those things where the gods can't talk that much about themselves?

Probably.]

Alright. I'll see you next week.

[divus]

I'll be waiting, Sisi.
