So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

[ Feel free to respond with like action stuff about trying to find her, or have threads lead into that. she's being vague on purpose and moving around. ]

Are you legitimately just inviting people to try and mug you?

[nachetanya]

I'm inviting them to try, yes!

[liberal_arts]

Why?

[godcards]

Hypothetically, no.

[nachetanya]

Oh, why not?

Wouldn't the powers themselves prove the existence of a god?

(assume my arguments are all hypothetical! We need a good debate)

[godcards]

If this hypothetical god needs to get my attention and can only do so through magical abilities, maybe they should have been a better god to begin with. I didn't ask for any special gifts or powers, I don't own reverence to any divine being trying to bribe me.

[heiroglyphs]

Define "divine"
Because I'm not particularly religious but apparently my powers come from my soul?

[nachetanya]

Oh, wow! That's an interesting take I didn't consider!

I meant "bestowed by a god's blessing."

[heiroglyphs]

Can't say I've ever met a god.
Probably one or two idiots claiming that they were, but no real ones.
If such a thing even exists.

[drizzle]

Are you saying you're like the Joan of Arc from your world? Just with a princess staple on it?

[As a fellow atheist, she is very much having a hard time believing Nat on this one, but has no reason not to believe her though. After all, there has been a lot of odd things going on, so. Blaming it on retrospec, as per usual.]

Good to see the reason we get along so well. Our girls have something in common.

[In which they are both princesses. In hindsight, it doesn't surprise her in the least bit that Nat would be one because she did remind her of the fairy princess of her memories.]

Your coins look like pebbles with, I'm assuming, constellations on them? How big are they, really?

[Not that she wants to get rich, but they do look nice though. Could be used to make very interesting decorations.]

[nachetanya]

A little between quarters and silver dollars, but they're closer to quarters, just thicker.

But Joan or Arc, that would *really* be something . . . I guess I was a Saint!

[ Even if she wasn't the hero. ]

[drizzle]

How many do you have of those? Are you planning on giving those away at once once you're caught or do the winners get just one?

[It does make her wonder the reason behind her giving them away. Or, at the very least, trying to entice people to chase after her. It was odd, but...]

From a Bunny Girl to a Saint, hard to tell if it's an upgrade or not. Personally, an angel would've been a better fit for you.

[Angels are much better in her opinion. Unless Nat really looked the part as Joan of Arc, then she wasn't too keen on the whole typical Saint outfits. Or position. It just felt like Nat was going to become something like a priestess or one of those travelling nun types that is trying to save the world one way or another.]

What do Saints do?

[rebellions]

nah

also there are other ways to participate in this whole mess than painting a giant target on your back
jsyk

[nachetanya]

You seem pretty certain!

Both that you're right and that you could catch me.

[rebellions]

that's because i am and i could

[dulynoted]

Is this just a question to complete one of Zee's tasks or did this come from personal experience?

[nachetanya]

I can't tell you that unless you participate a little at least!

[flametheif40]

Very Interesting question, I think it should, cause well...unless there is a giant dice in the sky, there had to be some sort of God that gives it to you right?


Also, no thanks, I've heard people here get freaking magic or something...and I got zlitch in that department atm, though might be fun trying to find you regardless to watch the show

[nachetanya]

Oh, I see! So that means that god ought to still be honored, or just that there is the connection?

Buuuut! I promise you my powers might not be that useful to defending myself!

[breakingvoice]

i would LOVE to see if i can steal any coins from you, but you'll have to be sure not to let me win!

[nachetanya]

Lina! What makes you think I would *let* you win!

action — guy from the iron giant saying something about ART

[usurpers]

[ which isn’t something eren’s particularly good at, so this is hard. meeting natalia at the casino and going out from there, eren doesn’t say much. not that he’s got anything new or important to say! things are still somewhat awkward despite being clear and feeling no reason to prod her for something she and elliot need to fix. it just . . . eh, it still hurts to have seen elliot upset the way he was with that.

sticking to a deck of cards, eren tries to go for a house. that counts as art, right? ]

sweet

[nachetanya]

[ Her and Elliot have talked by now but it's not like she's gone out and told Eren about it the minute that she did or anything. So instead, a somewhat amused expression on her face, she's coming to the Stone Pegasus, smiling as usual as she does at the griffon statues outside of it and steps on in.

... Oh, Eren's here earlier!

Nice! She hums as she comes in, a small bag over her shoulder. ]

Eeeeren!

at that farmer's market, action;

[eyestitch]

[Nui has shown up laboring over what appears to be a very heavy cardboard box of accessories and things to sell. Though fascinators and the like really aren't that heavy, and if Natalia were to try and lift the box herself, she'd find that it was actually not that heavy at all. Anything to make her work look even harder, it seems.]

So, like...

What was all that "I'm basically, like, God" stuff from that status update you posted earlier? Sounds like somebody's got a complex to me!

[nachetanya]

[ To be fair Natalia doesn't have a lot of upper body strength - or at least he can't give a lot of leverage to it, because of her prosthetic left arm. As long as she knows it's not over the weight limit of the arm she can do it safely, but as long as she thinks it's too heavy, she has to be cautious.

... Not that you could see from how she seems to be willing to take things up? Mostly, she's just hanging around here. ]

It was a hypothetical, you know!
