[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.

[ Drake is in Hope's temple, standing awkwardly before the altar. Does he have to pray? On a whim he checks his phone again, looking down the list of names to see if Hope is there, and... it is.

Go figure. Gods have voicemail after all. ]

Uh. Hey, there, Hope. I really need to talk to you about... food. My girlfriend and I have some special dietary requirements. It's kinda urgent, I'm in your temple right now if that's easier.

Thanks.

You don't have to be in my temple, but the thought is appreciated.

[Hope responds relatively quickly, all things considered.]

What sort of food do you need?

[ Um. Well. Drake's quiet for a moment, because mmmmoooost people would not take this well, even god-people. ]

Human brains.

[If only Rage were around. She loves it when the residents eat each other.]

I could create something similar enough to keep you alive. You do need it to live?

[ Alas, alas. Maybe he'll meet her when she returns -- he does need to swap for ammo, too. ]

We need it to stay people, which I consider being alive, yeah. Without them we lose our minds completely -- we'd be useless to you.

Yes. Very well, then. Is there someplace you would prefer to go to find it?

[This is not the first time he's made a deal like this.]

Re: voice;

[ It's going easier than Drake thought it would, honestly. ]

The shops aren't discreet enough. We can come pick it up from your temple every couple days?

[lingeringhope]

You need it that often? Very well. Come here when you are in need and I will provide it.

Re: voice;

We can push it longer if we have to, but by a week it's not safe for anybody.

...thank you. Is there anything we need to do for you?

voice;

[lingeringhope]

Try to hope as often and as much as you can. That will help me.

Re: voice;

[braveoff]

I already do. This helps a lot, too.

voice;

[lingeringhope]

Good. Then we have a deal.

Re: voice;

Thanks again, Hope. I'll come by soon.
