<You're willing to accept gods breaking the laws of physics and magic being, quote, fucking weird, but not afterlives, souls, and Fate?>

<If my opinion matters, I believe in afterlives and souls, if only because Gods like to use the former. And Fate is sort of a thing but it's pretty weak here from what i've measured. Yes, Fate is a measurable property of the universe. It's goddamn complicated.>

<You clearly haven't been talking to the gods enough, then. They're pretty real and also Shys'm Caes-damned complicated. Like pretty much every major religion or pantheon has their own afterlife. >

((...Kyle met Dumuzi did he not? Or Loki, who's daughter's an underworld god. The afterlife's a thing he should know about....
...and Cyrielle is POWERED by Fate. :P))

<Going up to a god and saying something like 'prove that souls and the afterlife exist' is kind of asking for bad things to occur.>

((...Kyle met Dumuzi did he not? Or Loki, who's daughter's an underworld god. The afterlife's a thing he should know about....
...and Cyrielle is POWERED by Fate. :P))
((I never heard of the first, hasn't had a way or reason to get proof on the second, and the last one doesn't mean much as Fate power=the exact same thing as magic but with more of a silly cult vibe.))

>I speak for the afterlife and souls existing. I WENT to the afterlife, once. Not a nice place. No. Met one of my greatest idols. But not a nice place.

Also, what's with the skepticism? You have Isis, who tried to bring her husband from the dead. You have Cyrielle, scion of Fate herself. And magic is fricking weird. The hell says they do or don't exist?<

Kyle shrugs.
"And being told makes that automatically true?"

Neferis nods.

Tobias does so.
"That tasted like shit."

Ester giggles, but says nothing.

"Pretend you can."

Neferis still looks confused, "Then which would I pick?"

<If the afterlife and souls exist prove it. Show me pictures, take me there. And Cyrielle doesn't really prove anything about fate. She just says that it exists. Anima... doesn't really prove anything either.>
Kyle blinks at Neferis.

Neferis drops her head, "Sorry."

>Why the hell would I take you to the afterlife? I barely survived the first time! And I was a bit busy having my ass tortured by a Fury when I went down there, so no time for me to take piccies. Y'know, maybe the torturing was cutting into my sightseeing time.<

<Yes. I can see proof of those first two. Can't see shit saying those last three are real.>
<Can you prove that the gods weren't con artists of various sorts, or that you haven't been dosed with severe hallucinations?>

((...Kyle met Dumuzi did he not? Or Loki, who's daughter's an underworld god. The afterlife's a thing he should know about....
...and Cyrielle is POWERED by Fate. :P))
((Part of why Will is frustrated at Kyle. This time.))

"Pretend you can."
Neferis still looks confused, "Then which would I pick?"
"That's the question."

<If the afterlife and souls exist prove it. Show me pictures, take me there. And Cyrielle doesn't really prove anything about fate. She just says that it exists. Anima... doesn't really prove anything either.>
Kyle blinks at Neferis.
<And how would you know we hadn't just teleported you to some cave or something? And why can't you trust them more than you trust these possibly-Photoshopped photos?>

>Why the hell would I take you to the afterlife? I barely survived the first time! And I was a bit busy having my ass tortured by a Fury when I went down there, so no time for me to take piccies. Y'know, maybe the torturing was cutting into my sightseeing time.<
<No one said you had to go with. Or bring him back.>
You can determine that Will is probably more annoyed than serious.

Richard just seems more inclined to snark at Kyle for arbitrary skepticism than serious.
