If it's so easy why aincha done it in my name yet?

[motherserpent]

Lame. Only other actual god-thing here and he's just...not even doing anything cool with it.

i'm sitting at 10
maybe 11
not looking to make it a round dozen

cw encouraging suicide, belatedly

Chicken

cw encouraging suicide

[rubikscomplex]

[House sends Tess every video he has of his deaths in the morgues.]

pretend they were for you

cw encouraging suicide

[motherserpent]

Doesn't work like that. Super going to watch, those, though, always up for some entertainment.

What time of day did he pray, exactly?

[rubikscomplex]

it was after lockdown
do you srsly rule over a time of day?

[motherserpent]

No, I'm just trying to think more specifically about whether anything unusual happened on my end.

I could prescribe a couple ways to make it work better beyond just making it bigger. Under the open sky or standing on a threshold, that kind of thing. But blood is blood and I should have felt something even from one that small.

[What's that? She's actually thinking reasonably about the outcome of the experiment??]

[rubikscomplex]

[Yeah, that's about what House expected.]

yeah
i'm pretty sure the only place where MORE BLOOD
has mattered while we've been here
was the blood fire in res zone 3

[motherserpent]

But that means it did matter once, bruh.

If you're not going to do anything splashier there's really no point going on here. This pretty definitively proves that standard blood sacrifices are ineffective.

[rubikscomplex]

not to any gods
unless we're talking god of the machine

is there anything apart from the blood or death that works?
i can play you wayward son on the harmonica
or find dincht and steal his guitar for a while

[cahooted]

I'm... kind of glad he isn't?

[motherserpent]

Hey, I know a whole pantheon of gods of the machine. Don't assume it's not a thing.

Singing would normally work. Praying. Healing someone in my name, drawing my Mark on important shit or on yourself or whatever.

[motherserpent]

Uh...yeah. Yeah, I guess I could see that. So what, is he just yelling at you or something?

[rubikscomplex]

i'll try a couple things
but i'm only accepting tattoos
if you put them on me personally

[motherserpent]

You know I can actually do that, right?

[rubikscomplex]

[He's assuming this is one of her lost powers.]

bring on the branding
i've been needing a new cult logo stamped on me somewhere

[cahooted]

That's right.

... Mainly about how much he's going to kill me.

... Which you'd think he'd tire of eventually but apparently he can yell about that a lot?

[motherserpent]

I'm going to put it right on your dumb face.

[motherserpent]

Lame. Death threats are so twenty-fifteen. I'm guessing you tied him up or something?

[rubikscomplex]

sexy

[This conversation is sort of going to start going around in circles now, so he'll get while the getting's good. He let her know what was up and has some new information.]

see you later for that.]

[motherserpent]

Ten-four, little buddy. Looking forward to it.

[cahooted]

Rolled him up in a curtain, actually.

He was really mad.

And yelled a little more about how he's gonna kill me.

[motherserpent]

[snerk!]

That's adorable. Probably should keep him rolled up, though, he might actually be capable of carrying through on it.

[cahooted]

I'm not that easy to kill.

... Probably still fairly easy to kill.

But not that easy.
