[ Relaxation area, we are here... settled in one of the massage chairs though it's not actively on or anything. Just staring out at the ceiling-high glass windows to sky watch (even though nothing really is happening.)
But Sirius will coo at sight of Jonas and hop down from their own chair to run over, hiiii. Siffrin looks after and offers a sleepy wave. ]
[ oh hello baby. simba approaches sirius and paps with a paw (claws in) and jonas at least crouches down to also greet the chao. he doesn't look entirely thrilled though but he waves at siffrin in return. ]
I can't say I'm too surprised. The girls were supposed to be with you guys as soon as you got to the neighborhood, but we got sidetracked. Kinda glad we know what we're getting ourselves into though.
[ Sirius will welcome Simba with happy paws and coos. Though also excitedly dancing at Jonas after, yippee hi hi. ]
Mm. Which is basically summed up as... two months of teams competing for a trip, which people are definitely going to die during but it's fine because at least they come back at the end. [ Said.. bitterly.. ]
..Technically, it's been a lot more for me, and before Heaven at that, but. [ At least Siffrin is ultimately used to it. Are they tired? Severely so. They can.. manage it a bit longer. Have to. ] It's definitely overloading Jacopo a lot. Even though, I can tell he's sorta trying..
Right, your loops. I remember. [ briefly discussed and also in general by nature of being god he is aware of things that came up. ]
... I'm not really sure what to do with Jacopo, honestly. I figure we can let him take things at his own pace, but I don't want it hurting him and being a detriment. Just like I don't want detriments for the rest of you either. We have enough problems to sort as it is.
Yeah, those. [ A nod. Regarding the angels and God, well discussion of the loops isn't too jarring or surprising by now. ]
I think... even if it's currently flipping over everything he knows and believes, he realizes he might just have to go with the flow than go against it. [ Because going against it is definitely going to hurt him more than not. ] I didn't get to really know him back in Heaven, but I can at least try and help with what we're dealing here.
[ (You know what it's like to be thrown into something with no answers and like the Universe is against you.) ]
The team stuff, though... it'd be easier if we could just group together.
He's not unreasonable. Overly dramatic and the villain of his own story sometimes because he doesn't think about better options for himself, but reasonable. Overloading him with information right now isn't going to help, but holding it back from him entirely won't either. We just have to balance it out. Let him ask the questions when he's ready. You might be better for some of it than me though because you're not as close to the situation. Also... you guys are the ones who went through it.
[ he is simply god. ]
It'd be easier, and that's why I wonder if we're going to get that option. I don't like not knowing what might come up.
Questions are easy. He at least knows something has happened.. so. I'll just wait and see. But, he went to the bar a lot, right? There's some things he might feel more comfortable hearing and learning from you, too.
[ Gabriel also has some worth here. ]
..Probably not. If it makes things too easy, something tells me it won't be what they'll do. [ But the look on their face suggests they wish that was the case. A team with people they know. ]
Yeah, he was there a lot. I just meant more since I obviously didn't go through the same mechanics or the trials or anything as you guys did, it might not be as impactful to hear that kind of stuff coming from me. I have my own conversations prepared for him.
[ jonas, on the other hand, is more thoughtful. ]
... easier isn't always the better way though, when it comes to something like this. If we do have to split up at least all of us have a reason to try and make any team we're on more stable.
I guess there is that, along with those excursions...
[ But even if not having gone through it personally...
(Well, you think your own thoughts on the mechanics and trials would probably be a bit too emotional and not helpful to Jacopo at all.) ]
Right. I think any team that gets you would be lucky to have you. [ A pause. ] Just.. don't carry the burden of things all on your own. And if you ever need a break and some quiet, you'll know where to find me.
Especially those, too. I get the feeling if this is really going to be something like shared experiences we might not be lucky and we'll have to go through those, too.
[ but he sighs. ]
Thanks, Siff. Even if somehow we're not on the same team you know you can come find me anytime you want, right? Even just hanging out and not doing anything. I never mind your company. [ he is not great at not carrying all of his own burdens, but that's jonas in general. the least he can do is extend the same courtesy for someone he knows is still impacted by what happened. a friend. ]

At least they showed up sooner rather than later?

Fun, right? [ he is not thrilled... ] It feels shitty when you four already died and came back. Twice, for some of you.
