Naming Io Constantine because I know Val will will have such a delightful time with this kind of ammunition.

"Well, now I HAVE to call you "Connie" or we'll get confused!"

"I hang out with them more, so I'm just going to call you "Lame Constantine" instead if I can't call you "Connie"."

"Why can't you just be like Cool Constantine??"

*recruits everyone else to call them "Connie" or some variety of "Lesser Constantine" since they also see the annoyance of people having the same name or they just want to fuck with Constantine*

then Io can marry Connie and change their name to Constantine Constantine

So you're saying that Io and Guinefort WERE going to kiss but Val interrupted them?

[sentience-if]

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS OUT THANK U

[sentience-if]

Io really passed the vibe check by thinking Val's knickknacks were neaterino They really pulled the adult equivalent of becoming friends with a kid because they said your toys were cewl.

i mean really what did you expect from these two goobers

So what you're saying is, we're an all powerful and we used to smooch guine?🧐

"Val."

"No, that's my name," the mercenary replied, but the angel just frowned and pointed at itself insistently.

First time I saw flavour text for Io's name and it does not disappoint. little name stealer.

I promised flavor text and I deliver 🤌

*screaming* I know you said 'unreliable narrator' but still *screaming* A part of me is kinda frustrated with myself as I am seeing dots but I know I'm missing most of them and I can't put any of the dots I am seeing together. I know I'm not dumb but I can't help but feel like I am when so many people have already put together so much. lol sorry for dumping all that on you, this is what I get for writing this at 2am. Feel free to not post this

hahaha oh nooooo I just meant the characters don't necessarily know what they're talking about either (ie, Val calling Io an angel). if it makes you feel better, I've only seen correct guesses as to what the God Beneath is, not much else ;)

a little interlude

hello, a small gift of approximately 3300 words between chapters five and six: the long-awaited flashback of Val and Io's first meeting

if you're loading a save, you might see some raw pronoun variables. don't worry about it, I already know

and a final disclaimer: Sentience is start-to-finish unreliable narration. just..., btw.

no one warned me it would be so hard to switch tenses halfway through a story

90% of writing interactive fiction is rereading your code trying to figure out what the fuck you were even thinking.
