Has anyone met their creator before?

The merge has made it possible, but I don't know what to expect.

At first I wanted to make sure he could not control me. He can't. And I lost much because of it.

My history is blurry. I thought I wanted a connection to it.

Now I'm not sure.

[taking_names]

Have you spoken at all?

[deathbell]

Dragon mail.

I have also spoken to one of his others. They are content.

Maybe I wanted that, too.

[taking_names]

To be friends?

[deathbell]

More paternal than that.

It sounds presumptuous to say it.

[taking_names]

Wowww.

I've only heard of the reverse of that, with them claiming to be like parents where it isn't wanted.

[deathbell]

Is it that strange?

He never made an offer.
[...]
I do not think he could uphold it.

[taking_names]

Why not?

[deathbell]

Priorities.

I would have preferred to remain on Earth.

[taking_names]

Technically, you have remained on earth. Haven't you?

I might have misunderstood how the merge worked...

[deathbell]

I'm not sure either...

I would have preferred Earth without Zenderael?

[taking_names]

What, just so there was no chance of having to meet your player?

[deathbell]

No. I wanted him to return.

[taking_names]

To earth? But no merge?

I can't get behind this scenario!

[deathbell]

Yes.

Ah, well, it isn't something I can will.

[taking_names]

Good! I'm glad you're not in charge of it.

[deathbell]

[you're... welcome?]

You prefer the worlds merged?

[taking_names]

I don't know anymore!

But if the merge hadn't put that one city on the world we're from which was actually just a continent which is on earth now I'd have never gotten to go home.

[deathbell]

[? ... ??]

It is pointless to question what can't be changed.

[taking_names]

You were the one wishing it this way and that way!

[deathbell]

Yes. It will get me nowhere to continue.

[taking_names]

True! Anyway if you want your player to become a father figure to you, I recommend contriving a series of ploys to try to uncover how important you are to him before taking the emotional risk.

Or just asking.

[deathbell]

[...]

What sort of ploys?

[taking_names]

Scenarios where your continued presence in his life might seem in doubt.

For example a fight, as long as you can be sure you don't look like the one in the wrong.

[deathbell]

Do you mean an argument or a duel?
