Because then it wouldn't be much of a game, would it?

[trifocal]

Is all of this truly a game to them?

Our very souls have been on the line, all this time. Why be so cruel?

[murderofwoes]

It's not like your souls would perish even if the project failed. The worst case scenario for any of you is Hell, is it not?

[trifocal]

I... well, perhaps? But, that would still be a rather unpleasant fate, as I understand it...

[murderofwoes]

It depends on how you feel about overpopulation. [ she shrugs ] It's not like your chances at redemption were made null by their interference, was it?

[trifocal]

[ she imagines, and unwittingly shares, the mental image of a crowd of party demons having a big drunken rave party with guy fieri.

this is not eupha's scene. ]

Mine may have not, but what of those who were influenced or killed?

[murderofwoes]

[ her face goes >:| for a second

an exasperated >:| ]

I can't say for those influenced, as I'm not the one making the judgment, but I rather remember it being shared that the redemption chances of those who wound up at the healing center weren't affected.

[trifocal]

Er, so... it is not our redemption that they seek to disrupt? What, then, do they use us for?

... What are these "doors" that are so often mentioned?

[murderofwoes]

Well, I can't say pettily messing with the project isn't part of it. But I told you. This is a game.

[ as for doors. well. ]

Mainly a metaphor about being let in and out, though I do believe you all got quite more stuck on doors than any reasonable being could have ever expected.

[trifocal]

Then, did the mentions of doors merely point to your role of allowing them passage into this realm...?

[ ... ]

I do not understand this pettiness... Is it God who has drawn your employer's ire? Or have we done something to offend?

[murderofwoes]

I understand how their mind works, that doesn't mean I care what the messages they were sending meant. The songs were particularly embarrassing.

[ anyway. ]

Of course it's God. Who would care about a random assortment of souls who weren't even considered good enough to make it here?

[trifocal]

[ I'm somewhat relieved to hear that...

to the comment about the songs, mostly, but also to know they were not personally targeted. ]

What did God do to upset them so much?

[murderofwoes]

I'm sure you can figure that out going by their actions.

[trifocal]

[ she's thinking about it.

...... ]

[murderofwoes]

Maybe you wish to sleep on it.

[ deadpan ]

[trifocal]

I would like to understand it.

[ ... but there are other things she may hope for a direct answer for. ]

Is it the entity that intercepts our letters? Do they read all of them?

[murderofwoes]

They might. They get bored easily. Though I wouldn't blame every mail issue on them. Chao are not exactly reliable mailmen.

[trifocal]

I see...

They have been your employer for some time, but... is your support of them purely contractual? Or do you agree with their aims and methods?

[murderofwoes]

If you're questioning whether I morally object to any of their actions, the answer is no. Whether I think they could do better in general? Probably, but they didn't need to bring their best here. Though I do believe this is a better use of their time than a lot of their previous hobbies.

[trifocal]

... What were their previous hobbies?

[murderofwoes]

There were a lot of parties.

[trifocal]

That sounds like a better hobby than influencing people into killing their friends...

[murderofwoes]

Maybe if you enjoy parties.
