Huh.

[He's not gonna rule it out, he guesses. These people probably know way more about the intricacies of gods and magical creatures than Tim himself does. He'll easily defer to what he's assuming is really clearly superior knowledge.]

Guess it might explain why they're not, y'know, all-knowing or anything.

[proficienciesouttheass]

[ There's an infinite number of people who'd probably explain it better, but Tim's got Magnus now, so this is what he gets.]

Yeah, probably? I dunno. Maybe there's just kind of in charge of how this place works and stuff.

But, I mean, I've seen gods not be able to do jack-diddly-squat over some stuff either, so I don't know. I guess there's always just something bigger, you know?

[ It'd probably be easier to understand what the hell he's talking about if he contextualized, but this is Magnus.]

[postictal]

I’m not really an expert on gods anyway.

[He heralds from the land of Alabama, where there’s apparently only one god, and it’s a god who would have wanted everyone to keep their assault rifles in every McDonald’s down the highway. Depending on who you ask.]

Not really sure it matters what they are.

[proficienciesouttheass]

Yeah, probably not.

[ Magnus has never been much of a devout person either, though he's technically a field agent for a literal goddess. That's a story he can maybe tell Tim some other time.]

Anyway, I think we can handle our shit here anyway.

[ You know, people who aren't nerfed right to hell, anyway. ]

[postictal]

Hope so.

[He's not nearly so optimistic, but there aren't a lotta options in terms of how else to deal, here. Work on surviving and getting by, or lie down and just let it all happen. The latter is still far more tempting.]

Anyway, thanks for the help, I guess. You can borrow whatever if you do some chipping in.

[proficienciesouttheass]

Awesome. We're gonna get this place up and running in no time.

[postictal]

That's the hope.

[Personally, Tim's not nearly as optimistic, but that's just his nature. Somewhere along the line, a generally applied cynicism became safer than daring to hope. That way you're always prepared for the worst, and you're never disappointed.]
