[ A lot of extra bits, Maya. What even.

Somehow this God thing is concerning, too. Like Kronos eating his kids concerning.]

Do these gods eat people? I'm not sure I'm in the god-eating-people kind of type of person.

[ It's a legitimate question, okay!! ]

[It's been a long, messed up time, Farkle.]

Of course they don't eat people! They're gods. [Translation: Maya's got no idea so she's just gonna make some stuff up until someone tells her she's wrong.]

Kronos ate his kids. Zeus imprisoned some of his. Gods don't usually care that much about people people in the legends. Unless it's like Artemis or Hestia, and even Artemis turned guys into jackelopes.

[She pauses, blinking. translation required.]

Sorry, what? Arta-who?

The Greek Gods? There's other gods just as bad in other pantheons.

[What's a pantheon?]

Well we're not in Greece right now. We're here. And the Fog God is good.

She loves me. [See where this is headed, Friend?]

Us, I mean. She loves all of us. That's why we're here in the first place.

[ MAYA. Maya, no, he's getting more tempted to make you stay here. Whatever that means. ]

...So are a lot of gods depending on the context.

[ He frowns. ]

Wouldn't someone who loved you ask to take you away from your friends and family? Before changing you?

[Pfft, oh that argument again.] She's not strong enough for that yet. We're supposed to help her.

But -- it's okay if you don't understand yet. I know it sounds weird at first. You just have to give it some time.

[ Okay, well gods need power, okay. ] Help her with what exactly? We're still just a couple of kids.

[ ...HE'S NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT. But he doesn't know enough yet to argue with maya :u ]

[Help her with killing the followers of the fourth god. But that's probably not going to go over so well, so she doesn't bring that up.] We get to be more than kids here.

Farkle, there's no rules anymore.

You know, Maya, I didn't mind being a kid. I got to be with you guys everyday. When we're adults we might not have that.

[ Which is kind of the thing here in its own way. ] Rules help us. Even dictators need rules.

We'll have that if we're here. Nobody can split us up. We'll be too strong.

Rules hold us back.

[ Okay, let's play hard mode. Because he knows this is stubborn Maya, hurt Maya. ] What about Riley? Lucas?

I don't think they do. The only thing that holds us back is ourselves.

[The fur around her face puffs up.]

They'll get here eventually. You came.

[She's got nothing for the other problem. She falls silent, agitated.]

...Do you really think Riley would be okay here?

[ HE'S BARELY OKAY HERE. and they're a lot alike. and he's only bokay because nothing's happened to him yet. ]

She'll need to adjust. But she'll learn to like it, I think.

[She shifts, scrambling for something more.]

I've seen unicorns here. She'll be fine.

[ Raises an eyebrow. ]

You know Riley cares more than just about unicorns.

[ Like her family and cute things and growing up and being a princess. She can't be a princess here. ]

[Okay, wow. Right in the feelings.]

....Fine. So she doesn't need to be here. I get it.

And so neither do you.

[ He knows you maya :( ]

[Maya sits back, hugging herself.]

We don't get a choice.

Then we find a way to fix things. No place is inescapable.

You don't think there's people trying that already?

It's not even all that terrible. You're not giving it a chance.

[ Did she really just say that? ]

Should you even be around me?

[Yeah. She did.]

What? Of course I can be around you. Why would you even ask that?

You're already changed, I'm not. Those don't seem to be very popular friendships around here.
