Truth

[supermeme]

Truth to Type RULES ○ In the subject line, put what your character would ICly say their type is. ○ Oh no, not the mysterious, truth-telling buttons that appear from thin air! They're back with a vengeance. To wit, throw in the body of your comment what your character's type ACTUALLY is. ○ We point. We laugh. Everyone has fun. That last part is questionable.

I'm only poor, thanks, you can leave the other half of that statement off.

[ninanna]

As a highly revered goddess myself, I believe I have the right to give you the full statement.

[intertwinedfates]

Goddess-smoddess! I'm still a god, too, dammit! Show a little respect for your fellow deities!

[ninanna]

If your services are only worth 5 yen a piece, then no. You don't deserve any of that.

[intertwinedfates]

They're worth more than that! I just choose to charge a rate anyone can afford. Getting my name out there is more important than making money.

[ninanna]

Yeah, yeah. You think being well known by wishy-washy humans will give you power through their belief in you? Get real.

[Says local goddess who is absolutely devastated her people picked Gilgamesh over her.]

[intertwinedfates]

No, I know that's not how it works. But I still need them to believe in me, so I'd rather take what people can afford to give and focus on filling as many wishes as possible.

[In some ways he's doing better than her, then.]

[ninanna]

[Of course he is. She's been long dead and forgotten. Only restored by being summoned into the vessel of a human. Well, not so human anymore. Not after her presence has changed it.]

What are you trying to accomplish?

[intertwinedfates]

[Explains her bitterness and attitude, huh...]

To become the greatest God of Fortune out there! The most well-known in all of Japan...!

[Except not really so much anymore. He'd be happy with just not being forgotten, truthfully.]

[ninanna]

Mm, and what good will that do you?

["Well known" and "greatest" tend not to match up in the ways people want them to.]

[intertwinedfates]

I'll never have to worry about disappearing again...

[Because it isn't that he wants the fame for pride's sake, or the fortune for money. It's the safety and security he seeks.]

[ninanna]

...Is that really all it takes? For a god like yourself to keep existing?

[intertwinedfates]

Yeah. Humans have to have a need for me, to remember me. Once they all forget and have no more wishes, then that means my job is done...

[ninanna]

And you don't want them to grow out of you? To be content and happy enough not to need you?

[intertwinedfates]

Not if it means me fading away! I like living too, you know!

[ninanna]

...Selfish.

[AS IF SHE'S ONE TO TALK.]

[intertwinedfates]

....yeah. I think I'm entitled to that after doing everything I was told for a thousand years, though.

[ninanna]

Deserved or undeserved doesn't matter to me. I'm not your boss. I'm just learning what I can of a god who managed to make it to modern times.

[Considering where she's from, the Divine is unable to exist on earth without a worldly vessel. The World rejects them.]

[intertwinedfates]

Oh? What about yourself? You're here too, aren't you?

[Since going by her judgmental attitude, she's no stranger to immortals either.]

[ninanna]

No, I was rejected by the world a long time ago. I only happen to manage by being summoned into this vessel, here. My original form was much more glamorous, I assure you.

[intertwinedfates]

Huh... You do look kind of familiar. You don't happen to share your vessel with anyone else, do you?

[Maybe it's just a coincidence?]

[ninanna]

[Her expression immediately goes flat. Unhappy.]

I have a sister named Ereshkigal. We were both summoned into the same body.

[intertwinedfates]

Oof. Talk about awkwaaaard. But now it makes sense. I take it you two don't get along?

[ninanna]

Absolutely not. If I'm day, she's night. If I'm cheery, she's gloomy. If I'm good, she's bad.

[intertwinedfates]

Really? She didn't seem so bad to me when I met her. Very polite and nice, in fact.

[In fact, if he had to say which of the sisters he thought was more... abrasive, it would be this one.]
