Because that is how they mate. Each Nysgod, when he comes of age, goes out into the world to find a mortal to bring back with him.

Tristan cannot go out into the world, so the world is coming to him.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Oh, yeah.

... I swear, if I find someone with a vcr and a good video library, I am going to rock your world.

And a TV.

You know what? Your world is probably safe.

[headcasey]

Just as well. We have enough problems without earthquakes.

[braveandstupid]

Why can't he go out into the world?

[It would be much less sketchy if he could go out and make the choice for himself.]

[so_far_away]

I cannot tell you that. Skokan has forbidden it.

[xochipilli_cursed]

You're killing me.

Okay, so, what sort of problems do you have here anyways?

[headcasey]

You mean besides all having been kidnapped by the Nysgods?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Well, there is that. Could be worse though. We could be kidnapped by something that wants to eat us.

[headcasey]

Meteors, mind-altering chemicals, games that try to kill us...

[xochipilli_cursed]

Okay, now those are problems.

[headcasey]

A bit.

[xochipilli_cursed]

I think that's the whole point of kidnapping. If you thought you belonged here, it'd be called a rescue.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Does anyone know how that relates to this whole "finding a mate" thing? If it's survival of the fittest, it's going to be hard to cheat and lose.

[headcasey]

No one knows.

Yet.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Probably smart. With so many unwilling victims they'd have a lot of people trying to rig the game.

[headcasey]

Interesting choice of words. Quinn would like you.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Quinn?

[braveandstupid]

[Elena wants to press further but she also doesn't want to get her in trouble. She makes a face for a moment, before glancing down at the body.]

What should we do? About the body, I mean.

[headcasey]

You'll hear about him soon enough. He's a criminal around here.

[so_far_away]

Burn it. Before any of the others see.

It will only cause panic.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Really? What did he do?

[headcasey]

No one knows.

Yet.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Yet...

Has anyone met him?

[headcasey]

Possibly. I'm sorry. I can't say any more. I wish I could, but I can't.

[xochipilli_cursed]

It's okay. I'm too nosy for my own good, anyways.
