[k] @Tepeu The scent of the maguey and pulque we use in the ritual tends to attract them, you see.

I'll just go take a little break in the shade. I want to make sure I have everything we learned straight. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Habetrot I'm gonna go back to my base form, too.

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan Sounds like you could all use a little break. Since we have a lovely lake right here, would you like to go swimming? [k] ?1:(Oh man, I really would...[csr]But I have to focus on the mission right now...) [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Unfortunately, I didn't bring my swimsuit Spiritron Dress. Now I really regret not finding a way to pack it... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 14] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan I see. Then I guess we'll just have to go swimming some other time. [k] @Kukulcan I'd be too embarrassed to splash around on my own. Well, more that it'd kind of undercut my divine dignity... [k] ?2:Can you breathe underwater too, Kukulcan? [charaFace F 13] @Kukulcan Huh? Why would you even ask? Of course I can. On land, underwater, in outer space, I'm fine anywhere. [k] ?! [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 13] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash What about you, Nitocris? You probably went swimming in the Nile Riv[line 2][wt 1.0]Huh? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan Oh, Nitocris went back up to the dome. She there was something she wanted to ask Xquic. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 13] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash I see. Xquic is really knowledgeable, so I'm sure she'll get the answer she's looking for. [k] [charaFace C 3] @Mash Oh, speaking of Xquic, that reminds me... [k] @Mash Using Proper Human History terms, do you, um, think Tepeu and Xquic are married, or lovers, or something along those lines? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 6] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan Oh my! Got a bit of a curious side to you, hm, Mash? Do you really wanna know? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 3] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_147 1.5] @Mash Oh, um, I don't mean anything by it. I was just thinking it would be nice if that was the case! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 20] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan Oh, I agree, it would be.[bgm BGM_SHINYAMA_1 0.1][sr]But those two will always just be friends. [k] [charaFace F 12] @Kukulcan As much as Xquic may look like a deinos, the truth is, she isn't. [k] @Kukulcan She'll never be able to live among peers, be involved with them, or be freed from her duties. [k] @Kukulcan Her job is to look over[line 2]no, to supervise all of Mictlān. It's been that way since she was born, and will continue to be so until she dies. [k] @Kukulcan She'll never be able to leave Metztitlán, no matter what. [k] @Kukulcan At first, Tepeu refused to accept that, and he looked for a way to free Xquic... [k] @Kukulcan ...but it was no use. [k] @Kukulcan Before, I couldn't imagine why he chose to move to the first stratum on his own... [k] [charaFace F 0] @Kukulcan ...but now that I have a human form, I think I understand. [k] @Kukulcan Knowing that he'd failed to save Xquic, Tepeu couldn't allow himself a happy life. [k] @Kukulcan So he moved all the way to the edge of the world to be alone. There, he studied the concept of death as a way to punish himself. [k] ?1:The concept of death? Why that? ?! [charaFace F 11] @Kukulcan It's not my place to say. Not while my own maidenly heart is still actively maturing♡ [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash Growing up... Um, speaking of which, Kukulcan, there's something else we've been wondering about. [k] @Mash Did you, um, always look the way you do now? [k] @Mash The deinos are Mictlān's dominant species. Since you're their god, shouldn't you look like one yourself? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 3] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] [bgmStop BGM_SHINYAMA_1 2.0] @Kukulcan A[messageShake 0.05 4 4 0.6]re you saying I lack common sense!? [k] [charaFace F 2] @Kukulcan Just kidding! Don't worry, I'm not mad! [k] @Kukulcan I still don't really get common sense or feelings, but I at least know they're important! [k] [charaFace F 0] [bgm BGM_MAP_41 0.1] @Kukulcan Anyway, yes. I am a god, and I did originate here in Mictlān. [k] @Kukulcan But this form is something I only recently gained. [k] @Kukulcan Before that, I was just the teachings of the sun[line 2]a wind only the deinos could sense. [k] [charaFace F 9] @Kukulcan A year ago, when knowledge of Proper Human History first came to Mictlān, we learned of gods. That's when the sound “Kukulcan” formed the name of a god. [k] @Kukulcan That was the instant in which I gained this form. [k] @Kukulcan All of a sudden, things that couldn't be seen had a shape. Things that could only be sensed could now be spoken of as fact. [k] @Kukulcan For us, the shock was big enough to rock the world to its foundations. [k] @Kukulcan “Gods can only be born from intelligent humanoid beings, so that's what we should be, too.” [k] [charaFace F 1] @Kukulcan And just like that, I was tossed out into Chichén Itzá! [k] [charaFace F 3] @Kukulcan Stark naked! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 21] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash N-naked!? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kukulcan Yes... At the time, I didn't have any emotions, so I just started talking to the priests as I was. [k] @Kukulcan It wasn't long before I realized I didn't feel quite right, and that I might be doing something inappropriate. [k] @Kukulcan So I absorbed all of Proper Human History's common sense in one go, then stole some clothes from the deinos standing closest to me! [k] [charaFace F 11] @Kukulcan (Which was Tepeu, by the way.) [k] @Kukulcan He'd already retired to the first stratum by that point, but he'd always listened to me closely back when we were still just wind. [k] ?1:I see. I think I can imagine what you were like back then...

[charaFace F 15] @Kukulcan I'm trying reeeally hard to forget that whole thing, so please don't ask Tepeu about it. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Kukulcan Anyway, that's how I ended up in human form[line 2]one based off of the Kukulcan of Proper Human History. [k] @Kukulcan Xquic's an Archetype who'll forever remain mentally one year old... [k] @Kukulcan ...but I am a god, and actually am just one year old. [k] [charaFace F 20] @Kukulcan After that, I found that snot-nosed brat[line 2] [k] @Kukulcan I mean, young Tezcatlipoca riding a deinos and playing king near Chichén Itzá, and I made him its actual king. [k] [charaFace F 2] @Kukulcan Then I ran off to México City to spend all my time having fun and experiencing all the latest culture, yes! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 7] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Mash I see. So you wanted to try life in the big city. I can definitely understand that.

[k] [charaFace C 3] @Mash But, uh, never mind that now. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Mash Putting together everything you've told us, it sounds like you're not actually a deinos god. [k] @Mash Instead, you were born from the Malla, Mictlān's creators, and you serve as their representative. [k] @Mash Does that mean you're actually Archetype: MICTLĀN then? [k] ?1:Hey, yeah. If we consider a meteorite a planet too,[csr]then it could've also had a mind of its own! ?2:Whoa... A lot of pieces are starting to come together! ?!

[k] @Kukulcan She's basically Archetype: META EARTH, so she also knows what it's like to fail to become the Archetype you wanted to be.
