[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍

[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

Shameless clothes?

[ HELLO ]

I was about to say that LILITH has its ways of making the impossible possible, but -- are you saying that you can be your own sister??

That's how she usually dresses, unfortunately.

[ It's awful. Worse than can be imagined. ]

Her soul could be in my body and take control when I fall asleep. But

No

I definitely would have noticed by now.

Right? (((＞＜)))

I... don't know?

If it's any consolation, the only time I've seen you expose skin was during that one time at the hot springs with the other girls. And you still had blond hair at the time so...???

I was still dignified. Whereas she doesn't understand the meaning of the word dignity.

What she wears counts as even less than underwear (×_×)

And she floats around, making all sorts of weird poses! (*￣m￣)

Just thinking about it makes me so mad.

I spend all my time working, I uphold my dignity as a goddess, I never ask anything, yet nobody has so much as a thought for me.

But she never works.

She throws a tantrum whenever she wants something and doesn't have it.

She accidentally causes an apocalyptic event a year because she can't keep her greed and vanity in check.

And all the other gods just keep spoiling her and reinforcing her bad behavior! ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ

It's like she's being rewarded for being a horrible, awful person! (`ー´)

She even tried stealing my domain once, you know?

She came waltzing in, sat on my throne and expected me to keel over (⊙_⊙)

She even told insulted me straight to my face when she did that.

Then when I killed her for her insolence, the other gods forced me to bend the rules of the Underworld to revive her.

And then? She sent her husband to take her place down there!! (Ò﹏Ó)

But he's just as lazy as her, so he guilt-tripped his sister into staying six months in the Underworld in his place.

I'm not surprised though, she has the absolute worst tastes in love ☆ｏ(＞＜；)○

I just wish she would realize she's unreasonable so she'd stop getting hurt!

[ ... Ishmael may want to say something or this will keep going on for a while. ]

[ help how does she get a word in if eresh keeps going on with her stream of consciousness??? also there's a lot going here, jeez. wdym her sister tries to destroy the world once a year?? and how eresh killed her only to be forced to bring her back anyway??

gods....... like, literally. not just an expletive. ]

Hold it, HOLD IT!! Now I know what an information overload feels like...

And fine, she did all those fucked up things. And maybe you're also just really petty in general, but I'm not one to talk either. But at the end of the day... you still love her, right? As family.

I am not petty at all.

[ Just where Ishtar is related. And sure, she takes offense pretty easily... B-But she's been working on that. ]

I suppose I do, yes.

She is more than family, she is my other half. We were one, once. A goddess whose name is forgotten. The other gods split us into two halves, to rule over the Heavens and the Underworld.

My apologies. I realize this is a lot of information, all of it likely sounding nonsensical.

[ a whole being, split into two... it's a godly thing, a concept that ishmael can't truly comprehend as a mere human. but being separated by your other half must not be easy to live with. ]

It's fine. You have pretty strong feelings about it either way. And in the end, you were happy that she was there for you at your very last breath.

[ even if... it can't have been easy for the sister either. ishmael had seen plenty of her peers die by her hand already, and it won't be the last. ]

I was.

[ Suddenly, Ereshkigal realizes she's talked too much. Which she doesn't mind, but what if that information reaches the wrong ears?! ]

Please do not utter a word of this to her should she ever show up in this world.

[ ... ]

You do know our conversation wasn't locked to private, right? That means anyone can see this.

Can this be deleted?

Nobody must see any of this!

Too late now.

[ sorry eresh.......... ]

[ There are no replies.

Only despair in its purest form! ]
