wait wdym what if arceus was in pain. isnt that like. the almighty.

"Pain" in the way I mean it is a bit different from a human's definition. But, oh well.

Yes, pain. Arceus can be in pain. And through all my research, there's one common cause.

Grief.

It was grief that drove The Monitor and my creator to insanity, and it was grief that drove Jewelcutter to rain hell on his own world. It was grief that created Nameless. It was grief that caused The Reversed to go missing.

There are many reasons, in the end, but it's common. Arceus and Giratina are bound to tragedy, no matter who they are.

Mortals put a lot of faith in Arceus, anyhow. Even The Monitor isn't Almighty, she's just timeless.

Everyone give it up for my favorite (former) Mortal, Laurel Fusion, who is incapable of a good first impression.

Look at him, look at his little teefers.

He reminds me that he can hear it when I use his name, and that it is very annoying to think I've asked for him for something important, only to find out it was for humor.

I take to reminding him that the number of inconveniences he has caused for my brothers this week is already double digits.

I do not know if this will help you, Cats Paw, but I do have tea if you would like some.

@alamos-garden-lover

That would be lovely.

@fusionindustries cat's paw? i can't sleep. could we talk?

Sure. I might fall asleep though.

Distortion is the realm of questions and knowledge. It is the casted doubt on that which is thought to be understood.

...

That is why, historically, it is always the Giratina who stands to question Arceus, and is the one punished for it.

One day I hope to understand the nature of the chains of Distortion, and allow the others to experience the lives they deserve.

It is not humane to strip someone's freedom.

Cat. What did you do? If you wish to move foward you cannot ignore the past.

...Listen.

I'm handling two different sets of memories, recovering from literal possession, and at least two timelines.

I don't want to assume what you mean, because I've done a lot of stuff. Be more specific.

SKULL EMOJI. (@in-your-reflection)

It's hard to put into words. I suppose my fear, for you, is that you end up replacing who you've killed. You don't seem quite fit for it.

Similarly to Lady, I'm worried it's going to come back to bite you. In all my studies, death of an Arceus is never a good thing.
