[. . . and then a request, huh?]

[a cheeky li'l grin]

Can I get a quality bag of coffee beans? I could go for a nice cup of pour-over right about now.

[presgarddihellis]

[oh.

a bit distracted because he does hear that prayer. amazing. so he doesn't stop himself from muttering because curse,]

That would be a Sequence 2 sort of ability, unfortunately...

[ordimame]

[raises a brow]

It was worth a shot.

[he did not actually expect it to work]

. . . anyway. If you ever start losing sight of yourself again, I'll remember.

[presgarddihellis]

[just smiles like he ain't said shit.]

Thank you.

[ordimame]

[also moving on like he ain't said shit, because he doesn't understand the significance of COFFEE PRODUCTION being a Sequence 2 thing]

Would you hear me even if I said those words from far away?

[presgarddihellis]

I'd hear it.

The only way I wouldn't is if the words were altered too much.

[a paaaause. hm.]

Or if they somehow strip me entirely of my Sequencing... which would eliminate any need for it in the first place but also... I'm not sure I'd survive something like that, entirely.

It's a bit like if I am truly the puppet and the me who is the marionettist cuts my strings...

[ordimame]

[. . . does not compute]

If they-- whoever "they" are-- haven't done that already, then I wouldn't worry too much.

[presgarddihellis]

Yes, more than likely, since we've also gotten some ability back.

But yes, I'd hear from quite a distance.

[ordimame]

[so he could PESTER SMITH FROM A DISTANCE??]

[this power]

Noted. I'll use this newfound prayer responsibly.

[presgarddihellis]

[that's the most suspicious way to phrase something like that!]

I do appreciate the consideration.

[ordimame]

[IT SURE IS!! but no, despite the briefly amusing thought, he isn't going to be a jerk about it]

I'm a considerate guy. There's nothing worse than getting a text notification when you're trying to sleep, right?

1/2

[presgarddihellis]

[there's a brief flash of a DEEPLY EXASPERATED LOOK because in fact... the amount of times he got woken by prayers that didn't necessarily need acting on because CERTAIN DANITZES CHOSE THAT TIME FOR DAILY PRAYERS.]

2/2

[presgarddihellis]

[schools his expression immediately but does rub his forehead like he has a headache.]

Truly...

[ordimame]

[he catches that flash of exasperation and it makes him smile. heh. . .]

The trials and tribulations of godhood, huh?

[presgarddihellis]

[ssssiiiiighs.]

It's a pretty large learning curve...

[ordimame]

. . . as a god, do you even need sleep?

[presgarddihellis]

So many questions about godhood... are you planning to become one?

[teasing, but also.]

[ordimame]

[IMMEDIATELY]

Absolutely not. Too much responsibility. I don't think I'm cut out for the work.

[presgarddihellis]

[okay, it gets a laugh.]

Probably not.

I do sleep. Maybe not the full kind of sleep humans do anymore. But it is sleep.

[ordimame]

[hmmm. . .]

And it's restful?

[presgarddihellis]

[smiles.]

If it's not, it's not for the reasons you think.

[ordimame]

[. . . eh?]

For what reasons would it not be?

[presgarddihellis]

It's not because the prayers are too much or anything like that.

But the actual answer is cursed knowledge.

[ordimame]

[hah. an understanding nod]

Annnd that's where my questions stop.

[presgarddihellis]

[ha. this guy is reliable like this, even if he looks so disappointed?]

Well. With that. My favor is a bit more long-term than your ducking in here for the moment. So if there's anything you'd like to request in fair exchange, I don't mind hearing you out.
