"Demons, maybe?"

Permalink

"No, God is all-powerful. If demons are doing something it works towards His greater good in some way. --And it's also a weird thing for demons to do? I guess they're tempting you to sin but it's just. Really overkill for that. If God is letting demons decide whether vampires exist why would they wait until some random human agreed to let vampires exist because it's hot."

"It probably will not make matters less confusing if I tell you that I had a quest to deconvert Marlo from evangelical Christianity so that he would be less pervasively miserable and date him, and was rewarded with experience points and several new skills for managing it." 

Permalink

"That does seem like the sort of thing demons would do. It ameliorates one of the weird things which is-- why focus on one sin-- do they seem to reward you for, I don't know, being cruel to poor people or bragging or being envious--"

Permalink

"It eradicated malaria. And tuberculosis. And measles. And HIV but I guess that's sexy."

Permalink

"Demons wouldn't do that."

Permalink

"And it doesn't seem like it's rewarding me for sins other than having a lot of sex and deconverting people and it doesn't really seem like it's doing much deconversion." 

Permalink

"This is the wrong approach-- I'm assuming the model of the world I had was right-- what I know is that there are at least two very powerful beings with extremely mysterious agendas, which are Milliways and the Erogame-- so all the reasons I have to believe God existed, the miracles and the fact that the world's existence can't be explained without God, could just be... another local very powerful being. Who is going to torture me for not worshiping him. Doubly so now. "

Permalink

"Or you could go to a world where that being isn't and where you won't be tortured." 

Permalink

What comes out of his mouth is, "Sasha's in my world."

Permalink

"Then we can find them. โ€” I'd be inclined to get Marlo too, and Asher if you have one." 

Permalink

"If your world's like mine Creationism and miracles might also just be a lie."

Permalink

"There is also that but his me is trapped in an evangelical theocracy and his Marlo is a member of the secret police of said theocracy and we should rescue them from that whether creationism is a lie or not."  

Permalink

"Asher's dead." 

Permalink

Hug. 

Permalink

"I didn't know him. He was an Eye-- secret police-- and he had sex with men and he got away with it until he didn't. --You don't normally get executed for being a practicing homosexual but Eyes have their own internal politics."

Permalink

Hug hug hug hug hug. 

"Yeah. That sounds like Asher. ...and now I'm even more sure we should get other me out." 

Permalink

"Probably instead of asking about it we should just grab him and then if nothing else the three Sashas can fuck while we talk about Creationism."

Permalink

He has a face like he's eating a lemon.

Permalink

"Probably we arent going to have to grab anyone but Marlo. Do you happen to know where they are, the game does coincidence management but it's still easier if I kind of know what I'm looking for." 

Permalink

"Not... really? I'm not friends with either of them. I, uh, don't have friends."

Permalink

"...Same, before my life got taken over by a magic sex game."

Permalink

That sounds like a profoundly hug-requiring statement. 

Permalink

"I wonder what other traits all of us Levs have in common." He glances significantly at Sasha.

Permalink

"I think that might be the sort of thing that is sexually harassing the evangelical, at least if I say it out loud. โ€” for context I have a skill that tells me people's kinks, I have to actively decide to use it and I haven't since a while before I came into the bar."
