[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

[Hey, he employs it every once in awhile.]

Everyone wants more power than what they have, don't they?

Besides, I still have Hope to deal with.

Text

[unitas]

No, not unless they need it.

Do you need it to use against Hope?

Text

[lingeringfear]

Well, chalk that up to fundamental differences between humans and gods, then.

Did you vote in Hope's ridiculous poll?

Text

[unitas]

I did. [ even Sharon found it ridiculous, but an armory was likely their best shot at survival. if Hope keeps to his word. ] Why do you think it was ridiculous?

Text

[lingeringfear]

Because I think that trying to appease you humans is a waste of time.

Text

[unitas]

It might do you well to make allies, not enemies.

Were you the one that killed the other gods?

Text

[lingeringfear]

There's less fear in groups.

And if I was?

Text

[unitas]

I'd be asking why you're letting Hope resurrect one for starters.

Text

[lingeringfear]

Resurrecting a god will leave him weaker. It takes an incredible amount of energy, while I grow all the stronger.

Plus, it's not exactly an act that can be stopped. I'm not in a position to force his hand yet.

Text

[unitas]

Is all of this just to kill him?

Text

[lingeringfear]

He is Hope and I am Fear. Our very natures are fundamentally opposed to one another.

It's how this has to go.

Text

[unitas]

Why? Is this supposed to be your fate? Your destiny? [ what a crock, she thinks. ]

Text ; sorry was on hiatus!

[lingeringfear]

Nothing as poetic as that. It's just what we are. You humans have an phrase- like oil and water?

Text ; no worries c:

[unitas]

It's not like you two are smoothie ingredients, you don't have to blend. Why don't you just live, and let live?

Text

[lingeringfear]

Why do you care so much about what's between him and I? You won't stop either of us from our goals.

Text

[unitas]

Because it affects me.

Text

[lingeringfear]

Have you ever disliked someone from the moment you met them?

Text

[unitas]

Of course. [ her mind immediately conjures a dark haired woman, a woman she made beg before she split her in two. who knew barbed wires were so effective in stealing one's so-called purity. ] But most people learn to get over it.

Text

[lingeringfear]

We aren't most people, Sharon.

Text

[unitas]

That's no excuse, Fear.

Text

[lingeringfear]

I won't tell you what you want. You might as well stop trying to get it from me.

Text

[unitas]

I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. [ lmao ]

Text

[lingeringfear]

I applaud your curiosity, but discovering the details behind Hope and my disagreements will not help you or your kind while you're here. You can't solve them, you won't like them, you won't be able to utilize them for anything.

We're going to leave it at that.

Text

[unitas]

What if I'm not interested in leaving it at that? [ she will, however. she's only going to press so hard. think of it like testing her limits with him. ]

Text

[lingeringfear]

Then you'll have to get used to disappointment.

I try to be forthcoming with some things. You'd do well to leave the rest of it alone.
