I10DT - They don't have a prayer

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:27 pm

Nailah can't help but chuckle faintly.

"Are you this bad around Victoria, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:32 pm

Will gave her a look.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:35 pm

"Maybe not the best example..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:35 pm

"Perhaps not. This is something else, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:40 pm

"Victoria doesn't say she's a god."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:43 pm

"And now we've come down to the elephant in the room."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:44 pm

"Oh, I thought you were some Celtic thing, not Hindu," he joked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:46 pm

"Will, I know you're up on the Avengers. What would you say Thor is?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:47 pm

"An advanced being from another dimension."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:53 pm

"Who happens to closely match Norse myth, and indeed, seems to have inspired it."

"Or perhaps Hercules, who we've yet to say conclusively isn't the same fellow mucking stables in Greek myth..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:55 pm

"Myths are just stories.

You want to bet if Apocalypse was in a stable in antiquity? Does that give him godhood status, or does he need to apply somewhere?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 7:59 pm

"It's not quite as simple. Not that Apocalypse seems particularly interested in actual worship and belief. He's just a powerful mutant with an unhinged mind."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:00 pm

Will stayed silent, but shot a silent look at Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:02 pm

"At the same time Will, you're acting as if I've started to put it on my business cards..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:05 pm

"It's a public quad," he repeated.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:07 pm

"And what about what we just did was me laying claim to godhood in a public fashion?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:08 pm

"Never said you did," Will mumbled, taken aback a little, clearly backed into a proverbial corner here.

"I mean, it's clearly not quite... consistent with your past...stated, y'know, beliefs."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:11 pm

"Will, I've been literally struggling with this for... longer than I care to remember."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 9:19 am

"And...this is the answer you came up with?" Will asked

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 10:11 am

"There have been too many coincidences to not think there's something here."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:02 pm

"Coincidences?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:31 pm

"Things I couldn't explain. Things that didn't make sense any other way."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:37 pm

"Things YOU couldn't explain?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:39 pm

"Is that so strange a thought?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:47 pm

Yes!

"No, I suppose not. I mean, we're only human..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:08 pm

"And I had a rather large blind spot..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:25 pm

"What sort of...blind spot?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:27 pm

"If I was willing to accept any answer but the one staring me in the face, how far do you think I'd get?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:31 pm

"When the answer is 'I am a God,' farther than if you accepted the wildest possible scenario?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:54 pm

"You've acknowledged that others exist."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:03 pm

"I do not acknowledge the existence of another God," he said, firmly. "Just powerful beings."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:04 pm

"Then what I am shouldn't trouble you."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:07 pm

"And what are you, then. Some paganistic ancient battle-mistress? A vakyrie? A monster, in female form?" he said, frustrated.

"Maybe it SHOULDN'T bother me. Maybe I should just be going."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:09 pm

"It bothers you because of what I believed before, doesn't it? Because Thor never attended mass."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:12 pm

"I think, technically, I should think you'd be more likely to go to hell for being Catholic than a goddess," Will joked, weakly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:15 pm

"Here's the thing, Will. I've seen gods of every stripe... but I've also seen angels. So tell me, what does that say?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:19 pm

"That you're confused. It's a confusing world...sometimes we all need His guidance...

...I'm sorry, I didn't come here to preach."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:20 pm

"Am I denying that He exists, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:31 pm

"I don't believe people practicing pagan rituals are going to hell, if that's what you're asking. I don't believe that you have to be a certain faith to be good in His eyes or anything like that. Just....I mean, using the myths and things as a theme, that's on thing -- I'm a drama student, I know about flair and good theatrics and things. Heck, I used Gwion for a while, before I actually met a dude named Gwion and that was kinda like naming myself "Steve". It's just... different when you're proclaiming yourself to actually BE that myth, or the personification thereof or WHATever. It IS a step...backwards, I suppose."
