[Alex Reagan, currently reigning god of sleep is sitting on her bed-throne holding a cup of something that is definitely not coffee, and it's not just from Seattle and because she's a coffee snob. Instead she just takes a sip and actually winces.]

Look, I'm not sure if there's a God of Coffee, but if we need there to be one to get some actual stuff, I volunteer as tribute to be one, in addition to the God of Sleep.

[A beat and a smile.]

Also hi, I'm Alex.

Seconding this, though I'd like to broaden it to God of Caffeine. This garbage is not Coke.

[She grimaces down at her own drink.]

[11calls]

Definitely need a God of Caffeine. I mean it, I'll definitely volunteer.

[choosetruth]

Find that temple, and you'll be everyone's hero.

[Yes she would take that over medicine and agriculture. SHE HAS PRIORITIES.]

[11calls]

I'll definitely keep looking. Otherwise there's going to be a lot of angry people.

[tatra]

There's plenty of tea.

[ Why are you complaining, tea is BETTER than coffee! ]

[11calls]

That's exactly what a friend of mine would say, but I'll tell you what I told him: it's definitely not the same thing. Tea is leaves and coffee is bean juice.

[tatra]

[ She just giggles. ]

But we have tea. We don't have coffee!

[11calls]

That's why I'm offering to be the God of Coffee if we need one. I think we need it more than sleep!

[Alex.]

[tatra]

Is that your throne?

[ Don't think she doesn't see that ridiculous bed-throne. It isn't the sort of thing that would be available to penniless newcomers. ]

You've done the people of this strange place a great service by taking it.

[ Remember that these choices don't just affect you, Alex. ]

[11calls]

Yeah. I did it because we all need sleep.

[alex just shrugs for a minute with a sheepish smile.]

[shutupnightwing]

I would cheerfully commit a lot of mayhem for a good cup of coffee right now. Or a shitty cup of coffee. Any coffee.

Hi, Alex, I'm Jason.

[11calls]

Nice to meet you, Jason. And I'm right there with ya.

[shutupnightwing]

Just say, as an extremely caffeine-deprived individual, I feel capable of a lot of mayhem right now. The god of coffee better show up soon.

[11calls]

I don't know how much good a riot would do. I mean we can die but we don't have medicine or something so...

[shutupnightwing]

There you go with logic. Spoiling some perfectly good violence.

[11calls]

[And Alex is just gonna laugh.]

It's a hard job but someone's gotta do it, I guess?

[problematical]

Sleep is only half of what you need. I fixed the rest.

[ Helpful goddess of dreams, at your service. ]

[11calls]

The rest?

[look alex hates nightmares so she's been trying to avoid that.]

[problematical]

Dreams... everyone's were broken, I wanted to fix them.

[11calls]

Oh! Gotcha. So you're the God of Dreams, then?

[problematical]

A god: noun, a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.

[ a moment, obviously thinking, then: ]

No.

Maybe.

[zombology]

[Is she serious? She's not serious. Is she serious??]

I'm not sure it's wise to start creating more - more aspects. Who knows what might happen.

[11calls]

If we want things to be here, then we have to do this, don't we? I mean, time and food and medicine and sleep and yes, coffee. Coffee is a necessity.

[Do not question the need for coffee, man.]

[zombology]

Coffee is not a necessity, as a matter of fact. Actually, coffee is a stimulant with addictive properties that interferes with the natural circadian rhythms.

[11calls]

It is definitely a necessity, thank you.

[Don't you Doctor her, buddy.]
