"Omnipotence is turning out to be way less useful than we would have hoped."

"Maybe I should try making us all immortal first, that's at least something that I understand well enough to try and that we know is a good idea. —You know, if magic works when I love two people, I wonder what happens if I'm trying to do magic for both of them at the same time...? I guess it would be awkward to get close enough to both of you."

"I mean, group sex is a thing."

"It is?! How?!"

"At some point Takai and I should really explain to you how homosexuality works."

"Yes, you should. But even with a man and a woman there's only one... hole."

"Didn't you get mad about having my hand down your pants in front of Ben, like, yesterday? But sure, if you wanna go for it I'm not gonna say no."

To Ben, he adds, "Imagine three people snuggling and also sometimes they kiss each other, there, now you've got the basic idea and the rest is details."

"There are a lot of compromises I am willing to make for the sake of omnipotence!"

"I love you. I love both of you."

"I think I should talk to Asher about what kind of dates you and I should go on, and then I should go run the kingdom for a bit while you guys try to, I don't know, cure malaria. And then we should go out on a date and then we will be in a better position to become immortal via threesomes."

"Malaria sucks."

"That's why I suggested it."

"Okay."

He would like to hug Ben. He thinks it is probably okay if he hugs Ben.

He hugs Ben.

It is so okay if he hugs Ben!

But Ben and Asher are going to have to engage in Secret Plotting now. 

Yes. This is good.

He hugs Asher too, and then for lack of anything better to do goes back to Asher's apartment and attempts to figure out how to play Sugar Rush by himself.

Asher has affixed a note to the video game console that says PLAY SLAUGHTER RACE.

He loves Asher so much. Sure, he'll try that one.

...wow. What an amazing game.

It is a lot like Sugar Rush, except the graphics are better and instead of candy, there's murder. 

When he runs someone over with his car blood spurts EVERYWHERE.

He would not have been able to play this while cursed like at all but NOW he is NOT CURSED and he can play VIDEO GAMES WITH MURDER IN THEM. So good!!!!!

And eventually Asher comes back. 

"You're going to have fuuuun."

"I love you!!!"

"Let's try to cure malaria with sex!'

"Okay!" He abandons the game in the middle of a race so he can give Asher a kiss. "—Tell me about what it is and why you hate it, first, so I can aim the feelings right?"

"It's awful. You get bitten by a mosquito, and you get a fever and chills and you sweat and you throw up all the time, and most people get better but some people don't, especially if they're little kids. White people in Louisiana can usually get it treated but black people often can't afford it. And it's just. --It's fucking awful when little kids die for no reason, they just got bitten by the wrong fucking bug."

He nods. "Yeah. Okay. I think I can do magic with that." He kisses Asher again, softly. "Love you."
