salvagedlight[Ever since John disappeared, Ven's been hanging off more on his own than normal. He doesn't take losing people who matter to him well, and this one's hit hard because they don't know what happened yet, if he's still alive or not.]
[He's in the woods now, somewhere without any real identifying features, and as the IM focuses it's pretty obvious how he's been spending most of his time as there's a pile of books next to him. A closer look at the spines will show that the titles are all relating to mythologies and various pantheons, and most aren't focused on the pantheons that are represented in camp.]
I've been wondering something lately. [He glances down at the books, unusually serious for him, and runs a hand through his messy blond hair uncomfortably as he keeps talking.] We know our gods exist - some of us kind of are gods, and the rest of us are children of them or can at least talk to them. And most of us weren't raised to believe in what we know as the truth now until we ran into something that broke the news to us, fauns or satyrs or Lupa's wolves or whatever it was. So, umm...
[Just spit it out, Ven. It's not a comfortable thought, but he's uncertain how people might take this.]
What about other gods? If our gods can exist, what about all the others that have ever been talked about through history? The Celtic gods and the Chinese ones, even the spirits from Native American legends. If the Greco-Romans, the Norse, and the Egyptian gods could keep themselves hidden that well, and they're probably the best known in the world, what about others that probably wouldn't have to work so hard?
