I know it's your type of thing. But do you actually think you can "reign people in" when you barely know who any of them are? Let alone all the shit they've been through? I'd find it suspicious if we had a new god show up out of nowhere and try to take control.
Anyway, yeah, they all know. Persephone found out pretty much the moment I got here. [ Totally on accident, because Cass hadn't realized she was from months earlier. It was...something. ] Lucifer wasn't exactly happy about Amaterasu, but that was it.
I do. We don't get the luxury of having enough time to really get to know everyone to begin with. We can know them, but we don't always KNOW them. Half the Pantheon I wouldn't even claim to know well, let alone all the shit they've been through.
[ ... And vice-versa. There's a benefit to distance, sometimes. ]
But it's possible to know enough without knowing everything.
No. Maybe not. [ He's not entirely sure. He decides to ask: ] How much do you know about what went down with Sakhmet?
Sure, but that was you dealing with twelve people max. This is a couple hundred, and they've got years behind them here. Not the short amount of time we have.
[ As for that fiasco... ] I know enough. You all tracked her down in the British Museum, Amaterasu got killed, and then she fucked you up in Persephone's underground lair until Minerva had to off her. I don't think I'm missing anything, am I?
But not a couple hundred all going mental at one time. Odds of that seem rather low. And even if they did, I still don't think anyone else would handle that better than I could. I'd like to see someone try.
No. Doesn't sound like it. Good for me to know now so that no one's caught off-guard if it comes up again later. Persephone's from well far back, which makes me the only one who was really there.
You'd be surprised. Apparently we have some massive fuck-up once a month or so. And have you even talked to, say, the other ambassadors? Because they're the ones who're already trying.
But yeah. Persephone knows enough. [ She'd taken it fairly well, all things considered. Was the way she'd taken it back home "well" too? Cassandra had been so mad at her, she wasn't even sure. She should have known better. ] I'm not sure if she knows any of the meaty details. Like about her thing with Sakhmet. But she has the basic gist, and so does everyone else who isn't a murderous fucker in a mask.
Sounds no different from usual to me. I did, yeah. Briefly. And I expect I will again before too long, but it'll be more productive as a peer. That way we can talk about what we actually plan on getting done.
I was wondering about that. But if you didn't tell her then I'd assume not. She doesn't even know about her thing with me. [ ... But anyway, ] I won't sweat the small stuff. If everyone's up to speed on the important parts then that's all that really matters.
I don't know if it's better or worse. The weird shit isn't always as bad as the stuff that's happened to us, unless it's threatening the entire fucking country. And somehow it tends to be even more inexplicable. You missed the fuckfest that was us getting trapped in a time loop for a week. [ Has anyone told him about that? Well! He knows now! ] You know you shouldn't be so sure about getting to know the Ambassadors when you haven't even officially started running yet.
[ As for this information brokering they're doing- the journalistic part of her wants everyone to know everything, but there's also a moral human part of her. ] Do you want her to know about it? It's going to be even more of a mess if it never comes up and you know that.

Are you worried about telling them anything else?

[ Not as good of a joke when he's one of the few mostly monogamous Pantheon gods though, is it? ]
They still seem like people worth knowing whether I end up running or not. Even with only 8 of us here things could always go Biblical on a dime.
I'll tell her. Just do me a favour and don't do it before I can. I don't want to fuck with her head anymore than's already been done.
no subject
You're the one of us who'd know them even if you weren't running, so go ahead, I guess. Might be useful next time one of us fucks over a city.
And fine, I won't. But with everything she's already had to hear about? Primarily the murders? I'm sure she'll take one brief relationship just fine.
