[ 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.

What more, then?

[ Animals? Alice would think there's no need to make the separation, but then again, Thanatos is pretty fond of Mort.. Even though she isn't sure whether to classify Mort as an animal exactly. ]

Where there is life, there is death.

[ Welcome to existential horror time with Thanatos? ]

[irrationally]

.. you're starting to sound like that blasted cat.

[ Like he's speaking in riddles! Come on, how is that a direct answer to her question? Why do people love making her think so much? ]

Wouldn't things just live on forever without death?

cw: major death themes/existential horror

[ He thought he was being clear.... If something lives, it also dies. ]

Yes, but mortals never think how they will live on forever. Old age does not stop. They continue to grow old and frail. Illness doesn't stop. The gravely ill suffer endlessly. Battles don't stop, and those with horrible injuries find no relief from pain. Hunger runs rampant because hunters cannot kill for food. They are trapped in the eternal cold, frozen alive under the snow. The lives of everyone becomes increasingly worse past a point that is sustainable for anyone.

Need I continue?

[irrationally]

No. [ Though.. wow, way to make a point, Thanatos. She would have gotten it after the first example or two, you know.

Though she doesn't comment on that. ]

Though there are plenty of people with horrible injuries who still live all the same.

[controlsthedie]

[ He's had to experience what happens after a month of no death. As a godling. ]

That is still too shortsighted, even for those people.
