"you seem quite fond of dreams." the deity is resting on a perch above sunday's head, sunglasses over his eyes. the god is wearing a large, almost mischievous grin on his face. "i know a god or two who'd be very interested in the kind of dreams you're interested in. DO tell me more, darling."
head tips back at the unfamiliar voice. the sunglasses the stranger wears conceal the metaphorical windows to his soul, and his tone is irreverent as they come — albeit with a thread of genuine interest woven throughout his words. ( hungry for drama, for spectacle, for entertainment. he knows that sort very well. ) there's an eerie quality to him that the halovian cannot quite place; a whisper of wind in his melody of life. as a result, the seeds of suspicion have already been planted long before the stranger begins to chatter about gods and dreams and all manner of things no ordinary person should hold knowledge about. certainly no mortal — regardless of what his relatively benign appearance ( compared to the eldritch echelons of the aeons ) may suggest to the contrary. sunday's smile goes just a touch thinner in response. though he does an admirable job at maintaining a pleasant and palatable exterior, there's still a guarded edge to his body language as he turns to regard him nonetheless.
❝ you seem to be quite knowledgeable about a lot of things. ❞ the halovian muses lightly. ❝ although, it appears manners aren't one of them ... you'll have to excuse any impertinence on my part — i don't have a pleasant history with uninvited guests. ❞ a soft laugh punctuates the admittance — an insincere one. ( though his words are true. ) ❝ aren't we all fond of dreams? a sweet escape from the relentless cruelty of reality ... where everything that could possibly bring one solace is easily within their grasp? a place of mental and spiritual healing — a paradise, protected from the harsh rule of survival of the fittest. ❞ sunday speaks with the eloquence of one reciting poetry or scripture; his voice soothing as the ebbing and flowing of waves. ❝ to bless me with the privilege of your divine curiosity ... implies you must understand the appeal, even if only in part. ❞
surely even the gods still fall victim to the division between strong and weak among their own pantheons.
❝ simply put, dreams are the vehicle through which all that we desire might be obtained. ❞ as well as what he desires — for everyone else.
exhaling a soft breath, golden gaze flicks back to the deity. his eyes are composed and clear as a pool of stagnant water. ❝ i do hope that you find my answer satisfactory ... and now, perhaps you might allow me to pose a question of my own. ❞ sunday pauses, as if allowing his guest an opportunity to decline. ❝ do these gods that you speak of truly care for the protection and collective betterment of humanity ... or do they believe their only use lies in the volume of the praises they sing? ❞
