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.

Oh, I'm sorry.

[His head drops a bit for a moment. Yeah, that sucks to hear. He's not surprised, but still, the gods shouldn't have to worry about both the Null and the people here. Well, at least the ones not traumatizing people.]

They have to see reason in time, though. Maybe not everyone, because some people will never get it. But most people aren't as bad as they seem. Most people can eventually see reason. [Can they??? He's just hopelessly optimistic. But he's also seen it in his fair share of people.] I know it doesn't seem like it, but it's true. They'll come around eventually. Maybe even the most stubborn of them.

I believe the same thing. It is a cliche, perhaps, especially for me, but it's important to always have hope. The people here can be illogical and infuriating, and they like to blame me for nearly everything, but they can also be kind and resourceful - particularly when helping each other.

It's good to see.

I think I understand. I've had people blame me or dislike me for no real reason too, but I've also seen some of those people come around. It's a great feeling. I mean, cliches are cliches because they work, right?

[Well, in fiction, but he likes the sentiment so he's sticking with it.]

Thank you for talking with me, Hope.

Sweet. I'll definitely be back to check on you. Take care of yourself, Hope!

[And with that he will depart with a little wave before scurrying off somewhere.]
