[Hope's voice is clear and clipped.]

If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

[ A deep breath. ]

Okay. Fine. Sorry, I... I lost my cool. It's just. Having your dismembered body part suddenly showing up is. It sucks.

[ She doesn't think Hope will understand, but... regardless. ]

I'll keep working on that instilling hope thing.

[lingeringhope]

You would need to help five different people. Do something that truly helps them and provides them with hope. Also, you would have to be polite to me.

[purpleknee]

Go fuck yourself.

[aaaaAAARRGH]

Would you be so kind as to do that, sir? There, that's polite. I've helped people here before you know, they're just already gone. I don't suppose you would want to include those people, please and thank you with cherries on top?

[lingeringhope]

Ha ha ha. That is a very funny joke.

[avephoenix]

What would have to happen to make you not able?

[There's genuine concern in her face and in her voice. For his sake (she doesn't want him to get hurt, not when he hasn't really done anything wrong, not on purpose) and everyone else's (losing people is hard, but knowing they'll come back helps ease the ache a little while you wait).]

Haven't had much time to get to know 'im, but his name sure says a lot. Delight's lovely, though. Talked to her, liked her a lot. Think I'll go check up on her later.

( same as her world, then. )

Tends t' be th' case. ( with powers. at least, all the ones she's ever encountered or knows deeply enough. ) Guessing if you learned anything you're not about to tell us?

[Did he just

Type ha ha ha un-ironically.]

[save_theworld]

Yeah, you did it!

[You did a laugh, Frisk is so proud of you!]

[lingeringhope]

I am sure you are doing well.

[lingeringhope]

Ah, I knew you were capable of it.

And no, I'm afraid not. You must understand these are not simply hoops for you to jump through for my personal entertainment. By completing the task, you give me the extra power needed to create your heart. I cannot reach into the past and use power that has already been spent.

[purpleknee]

[holy shit the saccharine thing actually worked thank ozma this is text and hope is an idiot he's not immediately off on this opportunity]

Yes, fine. Just admit that it is partly because you get a kick out of it though. Go on, it's not like my mood could get worse right now.

[lingeringhope]

If I die or am seriously injured, I will be far less effective.

Delight is always a pleasure to have around.

[lingeringhope]

I see no reason to share my information, no.

[lingeringhope]

Thanks to you.

[avephoenix]

Then we'll have to make sure you're not either of those!

[A firm nod. Faith will fight for you, Hope. Alternatively, she will hold your flower.]

You're not so bad yourself, y'know? You're a bit serious, but that's not a bad thing. Every group o' friends needs a serious one!

[Guess which one Faith isn't.]

[lingeringhope]

You do realize I do not watch what you do all the time? I very rarely 'get a kick' out of anything anyone does. I'm too busy.

[hasitsthorns]

[ ... Wow, you are like. Impossible to actually stay angry at, Hope.

Stop that being nice and supportive nonsense. ]

It's, uh. Slow going, but... I'll let you know when I think I've gotten it, yeah?

[purpleknee]

The idea of it! If you didn't, I wouldn't have to be polite to you on top of it.

[lingeringhope]

I don't know if I would call us a group of friends, but I suppose that's true. However, I would say Sorrow is far more serious than I am.

| voice.

[dedikated]

( she sucks in a breath, one loud enough to be heard, and pauses for a long while. does she bother asking why, trying to convince him otherwise?

this is why the gods piss people off, Hope. )

Why don't you know about this thing, anyway?

( just saying that a Door to other dimensions seems like the kind of thing that would be a Big Deal back in her world. )

[avephoenix]

[Faith shrugs. Friends, frenemies. Whichever.]

Haven't really met 'im yet. Maybe I'll stop by his temple next! Can't imagine he wants to be sad, even if his name's Sorrow.

[Faith, that's-- that's not really how it works...? Is it? She has no idea.]

voice;

[lingeringhope]

Yes. There is no rush, my deals do not expire.

[lingeringhope]

Ah, yes. That part is only for my personal satisfaction.

[save_theworld]

No. You did that all yourself.

I'm proud of you. You should do that more often!

[purpleknee]

I really don't like you, to put it politely. But fine, you've got a deal.
