I have found... [ Begins Woden, and the camera is angled from below, like someone is holding it. ] That sometimes, if things aren't going your way, it's best to change the situation to one you want.

Take me, for example. Ostracized by my own pantheon, for crimes I didn't even commit... [ A wave of his hand. ] Held accountable for a future that I haven't even experienced, I haven't even done anything, and yet... I'm supposed to pay for my future crimes. I think I would remember, if I'd done something unforgiveable. It's astounding to me, how I'm supposed to just take that kind of thing sitting down, and be isolated in a new world, away from everyone I know, expected to just... take it, and be alone. Especially in a place where I, a god, have no history or understanding of who I am, or how my world works. You would think that extinuating circumstances would make a group of people come together, despite their differences. Despite mistakes made in the past.

But that's no matter, I suppose. You see, reality is what we make of it. [ Woden shuffled, the glow of his clothing illuminated in the dark evening. His helmet practically foggy, from a sudden change in temperature, like condensation had crept across the surface. ]

I don't have to just wait to be forgiven by my friends, especially when they're hypocrites, doing worse than I have supposedly done -- I can... Well... I can always make new friends. That's as easy as just saying a few nice words.

Have fun, kids.

Did someone ask you to play Freebird or something?

DID SOMEONE ASK YOU TO PLAY FREEBIRD OR SOMETHING?

[ It's echoed back, in Baphomet's voice, distorted and raw, like Woden is mocking him. ]

[baphlement]

I'll have you know that sounds nothing like me.
I broke through puberty last year, thank you very much.

[yaaas_queen]

#feelitcoming

[craftpunk]

That's... Close enough, yes. When will I get the opportunity that I deserve?

Ah yes, when I just make those new friends.

[yaaas_queen]

like a Skrillex bass drop

VOICE.

[selfconducts]

[ This seems, uhhhh...... bad. ]

Don't.

Whatever you're thinking of doing, Woden, fucking don't.

VOICE.

[craftpunk]

Et tu, Baal? You won't even hear me out?

VOICE.

[selfconducts]

I just heard you out. I've been hearing you out. What the fuck are you thinking?

voice

[queenofseers]

[ You ever know it's an incredibly bad idea to do something, but you just can't stop yourself?

In this case, it's "responding to this post." ]

Hey, Woden, you want to get back on our good side? Start by going and fucking yourself.

voice

[craftpunk]

Oh Cass, you know I was desperate enough to maybe try that until now?

Good thing you got to me after I found a real solution to my problem.

voice

[queenofseers]

[ A real solution. Against her better judgement- she knows Woden is just pathetic, deep down- it chills her, a bit. ]

Don't fucking act like I should be pitying you, Woden. [ She stops. Should she even ask? ]

What the hell are you doing?

[revolutionrocks]

Hey man.

[Look, there's a pile of rocks waving at you!]

About the whole 'paying for your future crimes thing.' Is that why you're here? Is this a place of punishment for you?

Video

[craftpunk]

If it's a place of punishment, they're doing a bad job of it.

After all, I'm having the time of my life. [ a pause. ] This is more due to timelines than a grand punishment.

[revolutionrocks]

Yeah no, they could take a few lessons from the Grandmaster on Sakaar, not that I'm asking them to, mind you.

To be honest bro, you don't really sound like you're having the time of your life. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say you're suffering from feelings of rejection, with the hurt and depression of that making you want to retaliate in a passive aggressive manner against those who you feel have slighted you.

And you wonder why I called you Viagra guy....

I swear, you HAVE to be overcompensating for something.

Voice

[craftpunk]

Heh.

Heh heh. Maybe. Or maybe I just like to let chaos reign a little bit. It's not always about me.

Voice

[purple_reign]

Stop pretending forgiveness is what you want at all. No one believes this bullshit anymore, Woden.

Voice

[craftpunk]

Ah, but I did want it. However... I know when I'm not wanted, or likely to get it. I decided to stop looking for it in the wrong places.

Voice

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Oh shit oh shit guys, Woden's making himself another set of Barbies to play with, stop the fucking presses!

[She yawns.] Must be Tuesday.

Voice

[craftpunk]

Oh good, you're bored. Maybe you won't bother us, then.

[deathboss]

Why is it always gods who have their panties in a twist. Geeze bro, can't you just do shit on your own instead of dragging others?

[craftpunk]

I could, but then it isn't nearly as fun.

Besides, mortals love getting wrapped up in godhood, trust me. They wouldn't have it any other way.
