[ he flashes her a grin. ]

Super. [ he offers a light shrug of his shoulder. ] So, what form of magic does yours take? And do you rely more on spells or some other medium?

Thankfully, he was not a god either.

Yeah, that's how ours work too.

[ he tilts his head thoughtfully. ]

Wouldn't it be funny if we're from the same world? You ever been to Portland, Oregon?
ofmyth: (can whisper tales of gore)

Neither am I the same now as I was before.

[ something like anger or frustration creeps into his voice, for the first time cutting through the drunken stupor. ]

And I will not remain who I am now.
ofmyth: (and rebulid your ruins)

[ that's a question he's found harder and harder to answer as he gets older, but kyna doesn't need the whole rundown of how hard identity is when you're a god ]

I am too close to the man who would have killed you because you chose to do what you wished and not what I wished.

Brooklyn. Man, I'm jealous. I would have loved to grow up in a city. Any city.

More or less. My family was big on the whole self-sustaining type deal.

Kind of. [ he slips his left hand into his pants' pocket, hooking his thumb over the edge. ] I grew up in a coven.

It's like... a gathering of witches, except think less community and more cultish.

The older the bloodline, the more susceptible they are to the asshole gene. So, were you a part of one of these families?
hiyakai: (298)

[personal profile] hiyakai 2021-01-20 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess your old, established families aren't so different from my coven. Your value entirely depends on whether you were born with magic. If you aren't, then you're worthless.

[ and if you were something else, then you shouldn't have existed at all. ]

But it sounds like yours took it a step further if they placed more weight on the purity of blood lineage than they did on innate magic.

[ Yaldabaoth's godhood had come from not only his self-entitlement, but also his fixture place in Mementos as the collective of everyone's hearts. ]

What would be proof?

[ because if Yaldabaoth hadn't announced it, he's not sure he would've believed it. ]

Not to belabor a point that could have been forgotten, but I'm reminding your friends not to be oversensitive assholes during a time of crisis. I'm not writing you to chastise them gleefully. I simply thought it would behoove you to know lest it somehow fly back into your face.
