"How could you have kept this information from us!? If it's the Bubbles static existence that powers the Void, then all we need to do is change it from a static existence to a dynamic one. How we go about doing that, I don't know, but it's a decent end goal if anything."
"I only recently learned of this. And changing the Bubble to a dynamic existence would be the same as making it like the rest of the Churn. A Bad IdeaTM."

Quote
Propose a barrier to prevent communication outside the Bubble. Of course, we don't have enough power to stop the Nulls from communicating inwards, but what we can do is prevent all Bubble-dwellers from communicating with anything that goes beyond the barrier. At the very least, it should stop gods and other beings from asking for Void deals.
Abstain. "I am ambivalent. Pass would hurt information-gathering, failure would leave said deals open for irresponsible beings."

Quote
Propose that we remove all Void texts, monuments, temples, and whatever other Void stuff was built by gods. If this proposal passes, ALL gods must contribute to the proposal to prevent the things from not being destroyed like how only Serac could destroy the temple he built to the Void.
Oppose. "The monuments and temples ought to go, I agree, but the texts are one of our few safe sources of information."

"That is not relevant. The only way they can get any soldiers in an eternal war would be if we created them ourselves. As I said, they haven no power that we do not give them. They may be able to corrupt our followers some how, but it is only the week who fall to them, and we can one day find a way to rid ourselves of that. Even if every Null in existence rushes our bubble, it will not matter so long as we do not leave the door open for them. What do you fear will assault us?"
"I have many strategies that do not require creation, but I will not share them, in case I need to use them in the future. If I can do so with Essence, how well do you expect the Null to do so with power specialized to doing so?"

"Ah. I appear to fallen so far beneath the notice of the almighty Fusil that he can't even hear my insults anymore."

"That seems rather childish of you to say. Is that what you wanted me to respond? I had assumed you went back to sleep, and would not bother the adults while we talk about something that could end an entire world."

Quote
Fusil, you're silly.

"They where invited in. In fact, it is one of the goals of the so called benevolent Luminants. They wish to use our Bubble as a spring board to escape their own orbits, moving and destroying us in the process. If we do not assist them in any way, our bubble will not move. If we help the Luminants, we are pushing them one step closer to destroying everything."

"I have many strategies that do not require creation, but I will not share them, in case I need to use them in the future. If I can do so with Essence, how well do you expect the Null to do so with power specialized to doing so?"

"They require you to actively use essence, do they not? Or, at the very least, use the power and influence you have as a God. The Null can simply not use their powers in such a way without an invitation signed by a God. Essentially, any use of Essence is creation, whether objects or energy."

"Find it hard to believe who would be that dumb, exactly? Our bubble has shown how untrue that is, if you mean the Gods. How many Gods have made these secret deals for power, not even understanding the end goal of the being at the other end of the deal? You yourself talk to one quite frequently, pretending like nobody else can hear you. We know of multiple deals that have been made, at least a fourth of the Gods had played into their hands. If you mean the Luminants, they do not care for the bubble in reality and will do whatever it takes to meet their goal.

As for their goals, I have an idea of what the Luminants want. Some records have shown this, I found them in my last trek to the library. I will gladly share a copy if necessary. (OOC, they are some of the minimalist versions. Can't copy/paste it here, but you can ask KJP to confirm I guess.) Their goal is, as you know, to track down the Umbral Hadal-tier. As you may not know, they are trapped in orbit. In order to get out, they need to use a bubble as a kind of spring board. That is their end goal, why they mettle in our bubble, and how they will destroy us if we are not careful.'

"If that is true, then we definitely should get communications up and not alienate them, because we, with a bit of clever use of power, can give them what they want with no harm to ourselves beyond some Essence. I could even do it myself, at a higher cost. As they seem willing to make deals, why not make one?"

"I see that you have already put some thought into this, haven't you? Have they really gotten you so convinced that even knowing the truth in what happens will not show you the error of your ways? That is a lie. The Null that told you that is lying so he may escape his own orbit. The cost of that would be our bubble and our lives. Look into the records and you can see I am telling the truth. If it was possible before, then why would the Luminants let all the other bubbles be destroyed? They where also their allies. I will make this clear, it is impossible to accomplish their goals without harming us. If you attempt to continue with this, I will have to stop you by any means necessary. Even if it was somehow possible, and the Luminants knew this, it would simply mean they are psychopaths who are not worth dealing with. Why should we talk with them? All it does is give them more power and more influence over you. If we ignore them completely, they can not do anything in our bubble. Or more importantly, too it.

Now there is a massive summoning ritual going on. We will have to stop it, or we will be destroyed, in time. Do you deny this?"

"Actually, I have been looking to give a demonstration since the last upgrade. Would you care for a wager? I bet that Tykki, on her own, could defeat everything you have ever created in combat. At once. Azem can join, too. We will fight in the "Death Battle Plane", so none of your creatures deaths will stick. Tykki VS all of Azem and your creations. If my Tykki wins, you will give me 10 essence. If my Tykki looses, I will give you 10 essence. If any Gods intervene, the match will be considered a draw and no payments will be made. Unless it was a participant, in which case the other side will win. Sound good?"
