Subject: destruction

Does anyone here know anything about destroying gods? How about stories from your world about spells or artifacts that could strip a god's divinity?

[Yes, that's the entire inquiry. Asura doesn't care for mincing words on this topic.]

Oh, what are a few extra millennia here and there, hm?

In all seriousness... I've always heard stories that there are ways to at least strip or restrict a god's power. Would something like that ever do?

Then again that sort of thing might also take a stronger god. Ho hum.

[Agonizing without the one who to whom his heart belongs by his side, that's what.]

I am willing to hear them.

[concierto]

[Time to be... Venti.]

Oh! But that might come with a bit of a cost. A bard doesn't always work for free, as you know.

[abyssbound]

What do you want?

[concierto]

Let's see... A story. Start to finish.

[There's a pause before Asura begins to answer, as if he's considering the terms. When he finally does respond, he does so thusly:]

Fine, I'll tell you a story, but I don't feel like writing it all out.

[In other words, Venti's going to have to come see him in person if he wants Asura to tell him anything.]

[concierto]

[...!!]

Fair enough! Would you like to meet again? Just name the place and drink and I'll be there.

[abyssbound]

[ Somehow it feels like Venti interpreted that very differently than intended... ]

I'm home most evenings.

[ It's a noncommittal answer and he'll likely come to regret indirectly granting Venti permission to just drop by whenever he feels like it. ]

[concierto]

[He interpreted it exactly how he wanted to!!]

And I'm free most evenings! I'll see you soon.

[And Venti will indeed show up unexpected with an expectant look. After a night of prying a story out of Asura...]
