So - all right.

[ Young Miss Kathleen Jones has the good grace to look embarrassed as she's making this post, because it is very embarrassing. And yet this is sort of a question that needs to be asked, because she hasn't really seen anyone asking it. Even though it's sort of... ]

We've never really managed to figure out why we were the ones who ended up here, have we. I mean - it's pretty clear that the Porter, or Lachesis, or whatever it was that brought us here, didn't just pick at random. So obviously there's got to be some reason why it's us. And I've sort of noticed -

[ She makes an awkward little gesture of her hand. ]

I mean - No one really talks about it, but you can just look around and see...

[ Another embarrassed little wave of her hand, and that embarrassed little wave finally gives her courage enough to just go for it: ]

Has anyone else noticed that we're all ridiculously good-looking? This isn't a joke post, I'm not trying to be funny - It's completely improbable, just how attractive we all are. I'm not just talking about humans, either. I'm not being human-centric, I don't think. Because I know that there are a lot of non-humans here who are uncommonly gorgeous by their species' standards. And so it's just...

[ She falters. Her face is decidedly pink with embarrassment. ]

Oh, no. Not in particularly. People who believe themselves to be godlike, yes. But no actual gods.

[ She laughs. ]

The closest I've come to meeting any has been Loki here.

[ A little nod. She confesses: ]

You know, I still don't really understand what the difference between a god and a particularly powerful spirit is. The word gets thrown around a lot, but I don't really know how they're truly different.

In essence, they're not very different from one another. I suppose the thing about a god is that they have worshipers, followers, and people who view them in reverie. They are a powerful spirits with a fanbase!

But in the grand scheme of things, god is simply a title. I tend to view Lachesis as a god, however. Not to say I worship her, but she does have a certain omnipresence in this world.
