[ video ] and a very very very subtle novel-canon start.

[tenminutes]

[ Yuri again! She finally managed to score a laptop from one of the NPCs, so she's actually sitting with it in her lap, in a folding chair, in what appears to be an infirmary, looking extremely confident. ]

As many of you already know, I'm rebelling against God. I'm starting to gather teammates now, but since most of you aren't in this world I've decided to start up multiple rebellions. If you're dead or have a problem with God, you can obviously offer yourself for the cause, but I'd like to focus now on rebelling against this community for now.

Don't worry, I don't want to shut it down or anything, but it does some pretty annoying things sometimes. If we start messing with it enough it'll start changing its ways won't it? Especially you science-types who are all content to document what it already does instead of see what you can do! [ She's got a smile on. Confident, a little bit like she's ready to start a panic. ]

So, who wants to see if we can provoke the community into doing something new? I'm taking early recruitment starting-- [ Pause. Wait for it. ] Now!

Says who?

[docfoul]

Grammarians, literary analysts, and, of course, an authority greater than either of the two: me.

[tenminutes]

And my enemy's bigger than all of you: God. So I'm not worried about a couple of lesser threats if it's just something like word usage.

[docfoul]

This is why we need to cooperate - not only in the long term, but during this conversation as well.
If you allow me to conduct it for a moment, you will understand.

[tenminutes]

[ Okay, she'll bite. Just this once, and it probably won't ever happen again if it doesn't have a result she likes. ]

Okay, give me your best shot.

[docfoul]

Near omniscience is one of my powers, but, as I regret to admit, this community can elude it much of the time. It is very unusual, and I would like to know how it can do that.
Still, despite the limitations that it imposes on me, I am very, very powerful. I can bend space to my will, for instance.
Here is what I had in mind:
I facilitate things for you and your rebellion every so often. In return, you report every single one of your findings, no matter how insignificant they may seem, to me.

[tenminutes]

Oh! So you're just like our historian and in exchange you get the privilege of working with us.

I think that'll work out, though if you're near omniscient then you should know something-- Where's the God of my world?

I had to interrogate Greed-mun about this canon 8D;;

[docfoul]

I will have you know, I am no fan of spoilers. But I know - not only by way of omniscience, but also pure common sense - you will insist that I prove myself.
Very well.
Where would you logically begin looking for God?

LOL you could've asked XD

[tenminutes]

I wasn't planning on testing you and it's not really a spoiler, it's me asking if you've seen someone. Just like if I went to the park and asked you if you'd seen a guy in a green hat. I don't care if you're omniscient if you can tell me that.

..Though if you're omniscient, why would I need to tell you everything that goes on with me? Shouldn't you already know? That's an awfully weird omniscience.

Me? Communicating like a normal person? 8D;;

[docfoul]

I was not asking for my own sake, but for yours. I already know the answer.

<3

[tenminutes]

So it's going to benefit me somehow to come tell you how my day is when you already now it and could easily write down how it went without me telling you?

[docfoul]

I am asking you to think, Yuri, not to simply retell facts.
If you cannot understand that, I might begin doubting whether I should lend you my help or not.

[tenminutes]

What, you want my personal experiences with everything? Like my thoughts and feelings about things? [ She's not pleased with that idea. ]

[docfoul]

No.
I will rephrase the question:
Where would any logical person begin looking for God?
In the literal sense, that is. None of that trite nonsense about looking into your heart or anything of the sort.

[tenminutes]

The answer to that question depends on what you believe about God doesn't it?

I'd rather work on getting him to come to me.

[docfoul]

Well, you will have to work towards that. To get his attention.

[tenminutes]

I already know that. I'm going to lure him out! That's why I need more people to help me with it. It's not that I'm powerless on my own, but it'll be a lot more attention-grabbing if a bunch of people unite together than if a couple of stragglers just go around going "you suck."

[docfoul]

Logically.

[tenminutes]

So you don't have any more useful suggestions, oh omniscient one?

[docfoul]

Of course I do. I was only hoping I would not have to spell them out.

[tenminutes]

So I ask for suggestions and you decide you're not going to give them to me, you're going to make me guess.

Do you have any idea how annoying that is? I'm not playing some stupid let's see if we can master-cricket Yuri game. If you have a suggestion, say it, I'm not playing some annoying guessing game with you. [ PATIENCE=0. ]

[docfoul]

If you're looking for God, why not start by searching for angels?

[tenminutes]

Looking for angels would be a little ridiculous unless they go around with big shiny wings or something. Unless someone shows up outside of the parameters of the NPCs but doesn't act human, there's no way that's going to be useful information.

[docfoul]

Think whatever you would like to think. I just gave you your answer in a silver platter.

[tenminutes]

Well if I find an angel I'll let you know. That'd be pretty convenient if it was just as simple as that though~
