Tili's Mini Missions

Tili regarded Sakana's kind and accepting face for a moment, tilted to the side with confusion. "Well, a request for information, an interest in understanding- that's something I'm always quite happy to oblige." she finally said, settling back down with a smile.

"Well, I follow Eris. There's a lot of reasons why, honestly, but if you're sure you have time..." Tili looked back to Sakana, then continued.

"Mystery is most of it. Eris governs all the mysteries I want so desperately to uncover, the secrets of blobkind, of flora, fauna, of how fish and meowlers spawn and why they're different from bloblings, of how blobs go feral and how one could bring them back from the brink. Even of the forces that send stones back to earth- all those things are tiny mysteries that I want so desperately to uncover. That's the beginning of it." Tili rolled slightly on her base in an excited little circle as she spoke.

"And I hope this isn't rude or anything, but Ichor, she's so cold. I'm glad she's given us freedom and given us all this wonderful life to learn about, but she just doesn't seem friendly. Eris seems to like us. Even if he might get a little violent, I think I honestly prefer that to just the feeling that no one cares. It's strange to me, sometimes, that you follow Ichor- you're so kind and nice! A lot of people who follow Ichor are terribly kind and sweet and just want to love the world we've been given, but when I hear about Ichor she seems like she just doesn't want us around."

"But it's more than that, of course. Themis... she scares me. I want to do so many experiments, and some of them will have to involve hurting people. They just will. She'd stop all that, she'd stop me. I can't let that happen, I can't let anyone prevent me from opening the world up and looking inside. I don't care if it hurts people. I wouldn't say this normally, but... I dunno. You asked, and I couldn't just not tell you. I'm willing to be nice to other blobs most of the time, to try and help people with what I learn, keep up a good reputation. Sometimes I even like doing that, helping people." Tili stopped and closed her eyes, becoming rock-still.

"But if I decide I need to hurt someone, I don't want Themis coming to stop me. I want Eris to be there, laughing and being glad and telling me it's okay."
