drops of jupiter.

[ so that was a lot, especially since it was keith’s first time coming face-to-face with a commander. he knows everyone must be tired and emotionally drained, but they have a lot of things they need to talk about. things that can’t wait to be sorted out. he has to collect his thoughts first, though--he’s not sure how to feel about this exactly, but he knows he’s feeling a lot of things. keith needs time to process everything, and he goes off to be alone for a little while.

eventually, michael, kayneth, ignis, camilla, and bucky bring over some food for the gang. it’s a much needed meal, and maybe some people want to eat in peace. unfortunately, keith is keith, and he thinks now is the best time to have a discussion. ]

Look, I know I’m not in the best position to say this, especially after how I acted back there. But unless anyone has any better ideas, we need to go to that lake and see the Guardian. We have to try. If that’s part of the solution to saving these people and going back home, then there’s really no other option.

[ he’s saying this with a calm head this time. he’s frustrated, clearly, but he’s speaking firmly and with nowhere near the same aggression he held earlier, back when he wanted to attack jupiter.

he doesn’t believe that he can be the leader anyone needs him to be. not here, not back at home. but it’s not going to stop him from trying to do what he feels is right. ]

And if we need someone to scope it out before we act, then I’ll do it.

Hmm. Shiva is a male destroyer god in one of my world's mythologies, and he has no association with ice.

...Destroyer of evil, not a general god of destruction. He's not an evil god of any kind.

[discutio]

That is a bit odd. I can't say that she's historically always been the most merciful of our pantheon and we never spoke directly, but she was often reasonably helpful when our paths crossed.

[ignis don't just say that shit]

[enjoymyatelier]

That's really interesting. I know it's very off topic, but I'd like to hear more about your deities... if not here, then some other time.

[discutio]

Might as well.

[since the strategic aspect of the meeting seems to have settled on 'fuck it, we're doing it live, calm down keith']

What would you like to know?

[enjoymyatelier]

Mostly names, really. I'm interested in seeing if that was a coincidence or not.

[discutio]

There’s six in total; Shiva, Titan, Ramuh, Leviathan, Bahamut, and Ifrit.

[enjoymyatelier]

Huh. The only name out of those that doesn't correspond to something from my world is "Ramuh," which is perhaps sounds like something, but... isn't quite the same.

[discutio]

The Fulgurian is a god of lightning--he's also known as the Stormsender. I've seen him a time or two; he takes the form of an old man with a staff, though like most of the Astrals he's roughly the size of a particularly tall building.

What is it the others correspond to for you?

[enjoymyatelier]

That doesn't surprise me all that much... well, the size, I mean. But in any case... a few of them are more like types of beings than individuals. For example, Titans were a race of gods who preceded a more relevant set of gods in one of my world's mythologies, and an Ifrit is a sort of powerful fire spirit in another of my world's mythologies. Leviathan is a sea monster we generally assume was probably a whale, and Bahamut was also a sort of whale that held up the earth.
