[ della has a slightly serious look on her face... but for those who know her, there's definite playfulness in her eyes. ]

This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

((ooc: feel free to use the above as an excuse to tag others in this post!))

[ The sheer bluntness makes her laugh. Hard.

She loves you, Inigo. ]

Wow, Inigo, you went right for the jugular, didn't you? Ha ha ha ha~!

But, yeah... apparently, me being part god was their first thought instead of "this person comes from a world where birds are the majority of people."

[flatteries]

W--What, no, I mean-- you would probably make an amazing god if you were one, that's not what I mean! [ Though she would also be a super intimidating god. That's too much power in Della's hands. ]

It's just.. I know a god, and you don't seem very much like her. Not in a bad way, but-- [ He cuts himself off, shaking his head in the most flustered possible way. ] You know!

[ You know. ]

[sos_pilot]

I know, I know. Relax, I'm just busting your chops.

Trust me, if I was ever offered divinity? I'd turn it down, no hesitation. I know my strengths, I know my weakness, and I know I'm definitely not god-material.

[flatteries]

[ Consider these chops busted.

But even though she's just joking around, Inigo - being the way he is - can't help but want to turn this around into a compliment anyway. Somehow. So after a moment of thought, he speaks up-- ]

It's.. not as if you don't have any god qualities though, you know? You care a lot about people, just like any god should.

[sos_pilot]

That's sweet, Inigo - but not every god cares about folks. If you ask me, caring about others is a quality you should find in most people, be they human or 'not-human' like me.

[flatteries]

Should, maybe, but..

[ His voice trails off, mostly since he's sure they both know what he means. Even though it'd be nice if everyone was like that, reality often doesn't end up that way, huh. There's just way too many cruel people out there. ]

Still, it means I'm just grateful for every kind person I meet! Or.. kind god. I suppose the difference is that the latter has a lot more things it can influence, so it feels extra important for gods to be kind.

[sos_pilot]

Mmm, suppose you've got a point there. Still, there's no one or nothing I'd rather be than me, inside and out.

[flatteries]

That's a good thing to think.

[ He smiles as he says that, without a hint of awkwardness. ]

After all, you're just fine the way you are, Della. I can't even imagine you any other way! It would be so strange!

[sos_pilot]

[ ... she can't help but tease him again. ]

Really? Even the part of me that's stubborn about asking for people for help, and the part that jumps into danger without thinking? I never need to change those parts about myself? Good to know!

[flatteries]

[ Mumbled, but still very much audible: ]

You wouldn't change those parts about you so easily even if I did tell you to change them...

[sos_pilot]

[ That gets a good chuckle out of her. ]

You got me there! Aw, I thought I'd get you all panicked and flustered again!

[flatteries]

Wha-- Della!

Are you trying to get me to react like that on purpose?!

[ He says, as he exactly reacts the way she wants him to. Oh, Inigo, you're such an easy one. ]

[sos_pilot]

It's not my fault you're absolutely adorable like this!

[flatteries]

I-I'm not adorable! [ He sputters. ] I'm a tough warrior!

[ IS THIS THE MISCONCEPTION HE NEEDS TO CLEAR UP. IS IT. ]

[sos_pilot]

Maybe it's the mom in me, but I just wanna pinch those cheeks of yours!

[helborn]

Can confirm, divinity is definitely not as awesome as some people make it out to be. Depends on the world, but...

[sos_pilot]

See? You get it. I'm fine the way I am, and I bet if I asked you all that, you'd agree.

... Though I wouldn't blame you if some of you said "Maybe think before jumping into danger, Della."

[helborn]

That’s a more common trait than you might think.

Just try not to punch a fae and you’ll be doing better than me, though.

[sos_pilot]

... Well, now that you've put the thought in my head...

[ She's kidding. Mostly. Somewhat. We hope. ]

[helborn]

Do not. Arcadia is no fuckin’ joke. In my experience it’s basically “The Trauma Dimension”.

[sos_pilot]

Yikes. Definitely on my no-fly list, in that case.

[ Speaking of no-nos, she did notice that comment below he left on his own, which also had him abruptly end it. She wonders if it's okay to poke... ]

... You doin' okay?

[helborn]

I... mn. Tough to explain.

[So, 'no'.]

[sos_pilot]

... You want some company?

[helborn]

Um. ... Sure.

[He's not sure, but... it'd be nice.]

[sos_pilot]

I'll be over soon.
