Elliot had never really had many things with Marcos that he would call 'good moments.' They didn't have much time spent together, period.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: You're lucky in that sense, then
Elliot: Even if not over all
Simon genuinely felt bad for the other two. Dealing with two gods at once seemed like a real pain in the ass.
Sy is typing…
Sy: yeah, better having to deal with the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
Sy: so how did you two get caught up in all this mess anyway?
Elliot tilted his head a moment as he remembered.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: I got lost in Derlik's woods, Marcos came in and saved me
It was a lot different than Simon’s story. In Elliot’s case, it wasn’t necessarily his fault what had happened.
Sy is typing…
Sy: well at least Derlik wasn’t the one who ended up claiming you, that would’ve been a lot worse right?
(ahsgsgd I love how for everyone else, involvement with a god = that god hurting them, and then for Torin it's just. Him and Marcos and their adopted daughter cuddling and making waffles for breakfast lmaoo)
((Lmao nice. I mean SOMEONE has to be happy lol))
(adhfjghdk Torin has had him his hurt moments, not to mention some ~character growth~ with the doll scene and actually being able to trust Marcos enough for it to happen)
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Oh so much worse
Elliot: I can barely handle how little I see him as it
(It would be a shame if Dicklik ruined the experience for Torin once more :D)
((Oop-))
((Also random side note but I feel like Simon would hate Derlik))
Sy is typing…
Sy: well then it’s a good thing that so far none of us are permanently stuck with him
(with a passion, I don't blame him)
(But at least Derlik asks for permission when it comes to those things)
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Yeah for sure
((Oop- so Astral really is the worst then))
Sy is typing…
Sy: things over here haven’t been super bad, we get left alone a good portion of the time, but whenever Astral does show up it’s never good.
(D: noooo not again)
(He really do be)
(AHAAAA Torin is never going to get a sweet fluffy smol memory is he)
Elliot sputtered a bit when he saw this last response.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Youre with Astral?
Elliot: Im sorry about that dude
(ajsggsgssgsg nope)
(~All the drama~)
At this point, Simon had sort of gotten used to it all. Surprisingly, when he thought about it, Astral didn’t even seem like the worst of the guys Simon has had to stay with over the years. Except you know Astral’s making him have his kid, that part fucking sucks.
Sy is typing…
Sy: yeahhhh :/
Sy: most of the time he just leaves us alone, but i think it’s just because he doesn’t have a need for us at the moment.
Elliot had no idea about the child, just thinking of what Astral normally did with humans.
It wasn't much better.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Hopefully he won't have a need for a while, yeah?
Elliot: If it means him leaving you alone
Simon of course didn’t even think to tell them about it because he didn’t think it was relevant, also he was definitely still in hardcore denial.
Sy is typing…
Sy: yeah he was just here last week so hopefully he’ll disappear for another two months like last time.
No one would guess, either, since it was supposed to be completely impossible.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Heres hoping, since prayers dont work anymore
Sy is typing…
Sy: yeah, hoping’s all we can really do i suppose.
Wren hadn't been replying due to the fact he had been unsure how he wanted to have his own input. That was something he and Marcos had in common, the fact that they struggled to communicate exactly what they wanted to.
Wren is typing...
Wren: I can agree, Astral is only good when he's not present.
Sy is typing…
Sy: agreed. he was nice in the beginning but i guess he got tired of that act.
That comment alone seemed to confuse Wren.
Wren is typing
Wren: Nice? We're talking about the same god right? The one who abuses his own kind in addition to us?
Elliot's eyebrows came slowly together.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: He was actually nice at one point??
Simon let out a long sigh. So Astral really had that awful of a reputation then? He wasn’t that surprised.
Sy: yep, just a method he was trying out I suppose.
Now that made more sense. No wonder he and Derlik were friends. Niceties were only a front before the real torture began.
Wren is typing…
Wren: Explaining it like that makes sense. I don't understand how I ever worshipped that asshole.
Sy is typing…
Sy: you never could’ve known, there’s so many who worship him and still don’t know.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Well, at least the amount of people worshiping in general is waning
Elliot: But what does that mean for us?
Simon hadn’t even thought about that. His brow furrowed in worry.
Sy is typing…
Sy: i think astral said they can survive without worship they just don’t prefer it.
Elliot pursed his lips some, shaking his head.
Elliot is typing…
Elliot: Theyre power comes from prayers though, right?
Elliot: What happens when they dont get any more prayers?
