First Street Bomb - [IM]

[wasalmostdaphne]

Hi. Bay Kennish, resident reincarnated God of the Underworld. I haven't really bothered with the whole talking through rainbows thing, but I do have a tiny complaint.

You've been great hosts making sure that we got to have all the 'fun' of kidnapping anyone who tried to leave this summer, one of your Gods tormenting people with the dead, being trapped by werewolves and finally keeping us here under total lockdown without any attempt at asking your guests if they would appreciate it.

But just because this is your camp, and we're only here because you invited us, doesn't mean you should just forget that we might have opinions and ideas about some of the things going on. Yes, we like the safety, but we also would like to know where the rest of us, both our pantheon and the fragmented souls of our Godly forms, happen to be. If they are safe, do they need us, would they like to catch a movie? Things we can't do from the inside of your hospitality.

We don't want to see the world destroyed again, but realize that we would like the freedom to leave you to your war with your Earth God if you keep treating us like we're your campers. Got it? Good.

Well, those who are going on quests, I guess, or clear it.

...Okay, yeah, in a couple years that might start to annoy me too, more than annoy if a lot of things are at stake the way they are for all of you.

I wonder if there IS some way to manage that while keeping everyone else safe. Not that one should take priority over the other, necessarily...

[Sorry but really? Needs of the many. Not that he's going to say it to her face, even in IM and he COULD probably be persuaded otherwise.]

It's just something to consider...if it might be done, and how.

Have they authorized a quest? I'm pretty sure Dean would start dancing if they authorized anyone to go after the Red Room thieves. I'm pretty sure three dragons are something you keep out of the hands of the enemy if at all possible.

You don't trade freedom for safety, and while Benjamin Franklin understood it. As someone housing an aspect of death, I know it a lot better. Everything ends, everyone dies, and no tricks you use to put it off will ever be enough to save you. So we might as well go big now, do whatever we can, and live bold lives and fight.

Anyone not willing to take their freedom might as well waste away now and I'll see them when she gets home.

I'm not certain but...it seems likely, doesn't it? Especially regarding those. Not that I can imagine any of them turning on Dany, like...ever, but...it would be good to have them back and know for sure. And that they're not being harmed.

[He only lost books so it's not AS dire but he WOULD like them back, at some point. They aren't as immediately potentially important though so there's that.]

Typically, no. I quite agree. But...there ARE younger kids here too. Demigod ones, mostly, which shouldn't apply to all of you, but...it's worth risking the safety of somebody who isn't able to handle things themselves yet? I mean...we aren't talking major abilities yet, I wouldn't guess.

[Cause, yeah. He gets it but...someone like Naomi or Charlie or something? It's something that has to be weighed when thinking about benefits for him.]

I've seen our initiates fight, when they were pressed, and they were pretty young, but...that was when pressed. If it's the sort of danger that's more easily avoided by not lowering the barrier....for now. It's a lot more to think about than it first seems, once you get going, I guess.
