"indeed. I have pledged my assistance in fighting off the devils, but I honestly believe that war is an inefficient course of action. it would be far better for the wills to fight, and leave mortals alone. suspicion has turned cognitus against me, even though I have promised him aid."
Barbeau chuckles. "My, my, that sounds like quite the problem. Is there any way I could help you with that? I imagine catering the peace talks won't do much."
"guard your people, as I do mine. there is no way to fix cognitus' mistrust, but we must guard the mortals against the inevitable battle."
"I'll be honest, while I despise violence, if anyone comes after the mortals, any mortals, I will hew bone from bone and flesh from flesh. The gods should know their places."
*So maybe it would be cool, Happy becoming a more volatile person over time would be an interesting concept especially with his preexisting insanity which is usually overwritten by his morals.*
*I think so, plus he does know that Cog was heading to the underworld, even if he doesn't believe the rumor that he is dead. It's ultimately up to you if you act now or wait to act after the current battles down there have settled.*
*Ultimately though, it sounds like things will get interesting regardless.*

"Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
Zeon feels the power of Xezithic swell before stopping, which feels strange and uneasy to the Emperor. Then it feels Xezithic meld with its mind, going stiff before slumping a bit. The aura around Zeon suddenly feels more powerful, more primordial. Zeon stands up straight, and many eyes are now open, glowing with various colors, all alien and unlike Zeon's normal eyes. Xezithic looks over at the other aspects and the rats, before its multi-eyed gaze falls on the leader.
The leader scurries closer to Zeon, curious.
While Zeon and the others only felt like a fraction of "divine" power, the leader can clearly feel the presence of a Will within the Emperor now, though not unfamiliar.
It tilts its head in slight confusion, chittering to itself and the other rats.
Xezithic watches the rats, curious but silent. It already knows what is needed, after reading the minds of it's Aspects. It is just meeting with these rats to be polite since the Aspects seem to like these creatures.
*Technically, the Quartet are both their own consciousness and therefore can make their own decisions and form their own opinions, and are also parts of Xezithic's consciousness at the same time.*
The lead rat, unsure of what to do, tries to show them the smoke pipe and everything they’ve made.
*So maybe it would be cool, Happy becoming a more volatile person over time would be an interesting concept especially with his preexisting insanity which is usually overwritten by his morals.*

*I don’t have a lot of time right now, so I will later, probably tomorrow afternoon, somewhere around that time.*
The crown of Slaughter thrums with ominous power, gifting 10,000 points to Crotalus.
i am not sure if we would be powerful enough to finish the job against Faltros currently… we must hope Cogintius gets here soon… but I do have a backup plan in case your… physical body falls.
The blazing wound at his chest lessens as the strength is given to Crotalus. That's mighty appreciated friend. I don't expect to be able to finish this fight standing, at least not in the Underworld, but I hope to weaken him so Cogintius can finish him off later. Be ready though, I don't know how much longer I can last.
it will require your permission, as it is quite intense… but I may be able to take your mind and preserve it with me. You will functionally become… part of the crown. This should allow you to be brought back later if enough of my power is expended.
You sense silence as he shields his thoughts from you for a time. Crotalus recalls the last few months crawling through the hellscape of the Underworld. His only companion has been a mad being of hatred. There has always been the constant whisper of dark violences in his ear. Hate and fantasies of vengeance, his constant consort. He has already felt how this has touched his heart, giving him a lust for blood and punishment. And that was all from distant whispers. Could he survive being submerged in an ocean of violence?
Alright then, Crown. But how will you escape? Wouldn't you fall to the floor of your enemy?
I would… and if we can last long enough, there are four options. I am destroyed, Faltros claims me and puts me on, Cogintius takes us back, and or puts us on, or that skeletal Jester cer there does. The best would likely be Cogintius, if they get here In time.
Those odds ain't good... but being alive right now is already like winning the lottery. We'll have to see what happens.
*I originally had a plan that would probably result in Crotalus becoming an Overgod, but this has sprung up so many cool story opportunities that I have to go down this route.*

*I originally had a plan that would probably result in Crotalus becoming an Overgod, but this has sprung up so many cool story opportunities that I have to go down this route.*
Alright… we shall see if we are defeated before we go through with the plan…
*well, as we had ruled it in the Swarm v Herionidus fight, if an Overgod dies, the murderer, if they have enough points, takes their place as an Overgod. So it depends on whether they win or not.*
*The form she emerges from, and the way her arc concludes, depends on certain things that happen while her new body is forming and things that happen to her soul while it is absent from the pupa. Many characters could theoretically influence this process, leading to three distinct Imago forms for Savut. I’m super excited for the next few days!*
*do any of my chars influence it?*
*if they mess with savut’s pupa after metamorphosis yes*
*cool. can okhmus and the storm lord know that the metamorphosis is happening? and can tempor know the current most likely outcome, and potentially a general outline of the various conditions for various end results?*
*i don’t see how Okhmus or the Storm Lord would know, but if it fits with Tempor’s abilities and domains, I don’t see why not. That might be interesting information. However, it’s worth noting that Savut herself doesn’t even know that she’s about to pupate. She is taking several of these actions subconsciously.*
*okhmus: nature guy, knows when species/entities are created(like when faltros made tarrasque eggs). storm lord: literally just a giant cloud that covers most of the world, including, occaisionally, the swamp. tempor is basically just a time guy, and thus sees the future.*
*so it makes sense for tempor, but i don't think okhmus would know until she actively pupates.*
*agreed. what about the storm lord?*
*i don't think he would know until she pupates either. You'll see what I mean when it happens.*
*cool. so does tempor just get a prediction of the current most likely outcome, or also an outline of how it could go?*

"I WAS WRONG, BUT I ENJOYED THE VISIT NONETHELESS. DO YOU WISH TO FORM A MYTHOS?"
Quiet smiles. "Sure! I don't see why not!"
IT IS DONE. I WILL MAKE SOME COLD-WEATHER PLANTS FOR YOU. DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO GRANT YOU POWER?
"I'll be honest, partner, while it would be nice, if I need any more power than I already have I'm probably doomed already." He wheezes. "The plants would be superb, though! My followers would love to have more variety in their diet."

Once Xezithic gets an amount of souls he needs, it teleports to the underworld since Zeon has been there before, where he begins to collect them.
