1/2 <PasUnPolicier>
It felt far too similar to his own ascendance.]
Tell me something in earnest.
You and Reverie. You both follow Her, I know this. I have attempted to instill this upon him, but he is a clever minx with a head of his own. You know this. So I ask you, what about Her draws you to Her? What do you mean to make of your service?
2/2 <PasUnPolicier>
Do not fret about it. I am sincere. No smart mouths, if you please. Let's be nice gents to one another.
<goodweather>
He chooses his words carefully when he finally responds.]
I mean, I made a post when I arrived here which god had the best perks, and Fog seemed like the best option.
Why?
[That's not the whole truth, far from it. The Fog took him out of a bad situation, fed him when he was starving, and following her gave him a good barrier away from Elias. But he doesn't say that. He doesn't like bringing up the real reasons why he follows her to people he's close to, much less someone like Javert. In his mind, he could be trying to get information out of him for some ulterior motive.]
<PasUnPolicier>
So it is power you want? She is capable of granting that in abundance, yes.
What will you do with it, if you achieve Her good graces?
<goodweather>
You still haven't answered my question, for the record.
<PasUnPolicier>
It annoys him. As does everything revolving around Reverie. He has a hard time grasping a life full of simple, visceral pleasures, free of heavy guilt or misery.]
Fine.
I come to remind you that Monsters are our people, and it is far better to start thinking of humans as something else. They do not see us as their own, and there is little reason for us to lump them into our society. We are separate.
You shall have your carefree existence at Reverie's side. That is compatible with Madame Fog's sensibilities. You need not delve deeper than that.
If you accept this fact, that humans keep to their place. The sooner, the better. It is healthier this way for us all.
[This... is a little strange.
If Phil is paying enough attention, he might notice that this is much more of an imploring tone than Javert is known for. Priest Javert, a vampire notorious for his commanding, authoritative presence, barking orders and sparing no thought for niceties.
This sounds almost like advice to help Phil achieve what he's looking for.]
<goodweather>
Not unjustifiably, in his mind, but this situation was weirding him out.]
Look, I know how tricky this whole situation is. It would be stupid for me to say we should just all hold hands with humans and sing kumbaya until all our problems are solved. It's just
[There's a pause. He doesn't want to tell Javert too many details but, well. What's the worst that could happen.]
I don't know, after so long I just want some semblance of normalcy.
<PasUnPolicier>
And be you at ease, will you? You shan't be harmed in Her town, barring severe circumstances. It will do your head good to come to Dyster more often!
<goodweather>
[Blah blah blah endless timeloop everyone knows the story already.]
I'll admit I'm not sure why you care what happens to me, but I'll think about it.
[Truthfully, Phil stays far away from Dyster. It wasn't due to any personal issues with Fog herself, but he hated small towns with a burning passion. He couldn't imagine willingly going to one again, god alignment or otherwise.]
