so everyone's cool with the squid thing
like everyone just collectively agreed that was okay
and went with it
that's a thing people just live with in this crappy city

yeah, they were posing as a married couple. they'd move around year to year, giving away these fancy meadowsweet wreaths, which to normal people is nice and all (and rare), but to these particular gods it was an invite to come right in and take a human sacrifice.

i had my brother with me, between the two of us we managed to gank 'em and get the hell outta there before anyone else died

[fogsong]

It feels like cheating if they're tricking people into it. Still, the fact you and your brother were able to kill a pair of gods is fucking impressive.

[venatoris]

yeah, it kind of is, but i guess it works. they operate on weird rules. can't eat someone unless they're invited in, whatever. it's like those dumb vampire rules books swear by

which are fake where i'm from, btw

[fogsong]

Being a god where you're from seems lame if you have to follow a bunch of bs rules. No wonder they found loopholes. It's gotta suck to know vampires had it better. [ ...pun retroactively intended. ]

[ snort. very punny ]

yeah, i always thought that was kinda weird, but folklore is weird and there's a lotta truth to it

[fogsong]

I always thought folklore would get a lot wrong given most of the old shit was word of mouth but I've never paid much attention to any of it. It wasn't really useful back home, not unless you were studying it for historical reasons.

[venatoris]

yeah, that's usually how it is, i think. back home, i mean. most people don't know there's actually really creepy shit that goes bump in the night

[fogsong]

A part of me thinks those people are lucky. At least until they're faced with spooky shit and have no idea what to do.

[venatoris]

yeah. there's some pros and cons...

[fogsong]

Figured as much.
