Labalyn's memorial

[Nephrite]

"Nothing good comes from dishonesty." Moore says. "Either to yourself or to others. So... to answer your question, it's better to be a bad person and be true to who you are. But someone like that isn't beyond my reach either - you can be a bad person who's true to themselves who wants to be better."

"And you say you aren't an archon," Sylvie's laugh is light and free as she looks up, out at the light from your window. "I'm not sure Balyss would agree with you. She's doing well for herself now, did I tell you?"

[Nephrite]

"I met her a few weeks ago at the... soiree I had in Brightwater. She seemed like she was doing well, Tannin too." Moore says. "Well, thankfully, I don't have to worry about getting Balyss to join my religion. But that's all part of the different opinions and outliers here in Creation, isn't it? I don't necessarily believe that all paths lead to Chronias, but I think even if you don't go there, doing good for the sake of doing good still manages to fulfill the..."

He gestures outside towards the light. "I don't think the light of Mount Celestia will turn away someone trying to better themselves for the right reasons."

A comfortable silence is your answer, until, "Cresiel's made his mind up already, but he's like that. Everyone else is working diligently on it."

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if we should come up with a fancy name." Moore says. "'The Hope Landeners' doesn't really roll off the tongue, you know?" Moore says with a laugh. "Maybe we should just be 'The Beacons of Hope's Landing.'"

[Anastasia]

"The Hoperoos," Sylvie says with her own little chuckle "The Hopers. No, it has to roll off the tongue. How about Hope's Landing, with the name being inclusive of all of us?"

[Nephrite]

"I mean, it does rather fit the theme of rather disparate ideals all coming together for one purpose, doesn't it?" Moore says with a smile. "That was never my original intention, but we don't have to let history know about that, do we?"

[Anastasia]

"History is written by the victors, so let's go win," Sylvie agrees.

[Nephrite]

"Agreed." Moore says with a nod. "We're all in this together in some form or fashion, so it makes sense to make the winning moves together. We have a long road ahead of us... hopefully we have time to do what we need to do."

[Anastasia]

"So get on it," Sylvie says and is gone, just like that.

Okay, do you need any IC time to work on these things, first of all?

[Nephrite]

I thought it was mostly done in all of that stuff from nagging, but it's easy enough to take that and use it for this, so I'd say not really.

[Anastasia]

I figured. So question one: How are you going to begin to enact things and begin as a deity?

[Nephrite]

He may as well start with what he has currently - the various merchants that have come to Hope's Landing. If any of them aren't already spoken for, of course.

Beyond that, he's asked about building temples and things, so that's another route he can go - in Lifasa and Brightwater, maybe would be a good start.

Oh and on Aurora, I suppose.

[Anastasia]

Which approach do you want to start with?

[Nephrite]

Home is where the heart is, as they say, so let's go with that first.
