They would probably not be a very intimidating god, that much is true. Perhaps more of a benevolent one.

[faithkept]

I find myself partial to benevolent gods, so that would be wonderful news. I do think benevolence suits Heaven better than intimidation, in any case.

[jiaohua]

I think so as well, and yet, there is no shortage of vengeful gods in the stories.

[faithkept]

Is that so? We don't have very many... Not that I'm aware of, at least.

[A little bit of a sympathetic look. Vengeful gods sound wild...]

[jiaohua]

What gods are you accustomed to hearing about?

[faithkept]

Most are rather indifferent, to be honest... But many are benevolent and kind, and willing to reach out to help humans in their worse and most trying of predicaments.

[jiaohua]

Have you ever met anyone who has been helped by a god directly? Or is it something that one only hears about in stories?

[faithkept]

Of course, yes; I've been helped directly, myself. [SAID WITH A LIL NOD LIKE YEAH surely that's normal everywhere.] Is that not the case for you...?

[jiaohua]

My mother and I have prayed at temples before, and things have seemed to improve afterwards in subtle ways, but... I've never seen a god directly intercede firsthand.

[faithkept]

Ah, well, the gods themselves don't exactly have physical manifestations, if that's what you mean... Or rather, as I know them. That may be different for others here. The improvements are still a sign that they exist and are keeping an eye on you, even so.

[jiaohua]

Perhaps. ...I suppose they were not keeping such a close eye on me lately, though.

[since she DIED.]

[faithkept]

[SHE SURE DID...]

Ah... I'm very sorry to hear it. Many gods do seem quite surprisingly lax.

[jiaohua]

They must have many things to pay attention to. They are gods, after all.

[faithkept]

A truly benevolent god should have the time and mind to care for all who seek refuge...

[But this is more of a quiet murmur than anything.]

...I do hope that you may have better experiences with gods now that you're here.

[jiaohua]

...I hope that we all do.

[faithkept]

...Look at us, being so gloomy in such a lovely place! Why don't we go on a stroll, instead? If nothing else, the sun is absolutely wonderful.

[jiaohua]

...yes, I would quite like that.

[and lo, they go for a stroll... points at eyes points at you preemptively orders a pc for tomorrow]
