(con. from Inn) (time, late night, should make the jump to tomorrow fairly quick)
Peri unlocked his door, and flipped the lights on. His castle room was very barren aside the minor necessities. It was only recently that it had been open for previous residents to move back in, and Peri lost all his possessions when the castle collapsed the first time. Living in the nursery didn't leave much space to gather personal items again, and by the time he moved back in, there really wasn't anything to move.
Luckily, Peri Winkle always preferred his rooms with a second bed, as he loved having his mother come into visit. Peri pointed to one of the beds along the wall. "That'd be yours," he said, "Make yourself at home. I'll see about scrounging up a meal."

Inti walked in after Peri Winkle and looked around. It did look a little barren, but the God could appreciate the possesions Peri had. Sometimes tools were scarce in Chillie and some of the people in his tribe had to go without beds or canoes. Basically anything made out of wood or other natural recorces could become rare depending on weather.
"Nice place you have here."
He sat down on his bed. It was quite bouncy and soft. Better than deerskins stuffed with strw at least.
He layed down and stared at the ceiling. His thoughts started to wander. "Brigid's right, you know. I'm falling behind. Everyone else probably has more mages than me. I've only got you and Candy Cane."

Peri kept an ear turned to Inti in the other room whilst he stirred a tiny pot of soup he started up. One of those open a can and pour in a coup of water things. "Well, you ever heard of quality over quantity?," he stated, trying his best to help lighten Inti's mood.
"How far could you be behind? How many gods are you here? I mean, I normally wouldn't ask as it might not be my business, but if you need me for anything, I think I'll have to know."
Peri Winkle poured the soup into two bowls, one of which he wished were Jewels, and brought them to the bedroom. Peri handed Inti his bowl and then sat on his bed with his own. "I mean, I wasn't even aware that Brigid was a goddess. I had no clue that you could get injured like that too."

Inti took the bowl of soup and started to swirl the broth around slowly with his spoon, but not taking a sip. He was thinking to himself.
"How far could you be behind? How many gods are you here? I mean, I normally wouldn't ask as it might not be my business, but if you need me for anything, I think I'll have to know."
Inti looked up at Peri and his expression softened.
"Well so far I've seen Tyr and Fei Lian. I heard Ocasta was here too. They're all shadow gods. I don't usually talk with them. They're not bad or anything, they're just different and...and it's awkward. Belive me, if I had the chance to be good friends with them, I would. And if Brigid here then then Calliope is probably here too, since they're both light gods like me." He took a deep sigh. "But I'm afraid Yama and Setekh are here too." He looked up at his mage with focused brown eyes. "If all the gods are congrigating here, then something's gonna go down, I just don't know what. But everyone else seems to realize that too because I'm not the only one collecting mages around here." He took a sip of his soup. "I just hope this is one of those situations that are anti-climactic, you know? At least if nothing happened no one here would have a chance to get hurt."
"I mean, I wasn't even aware that Brigid was a goddess. I had no clue that you could get injured like that too."
"You can get hurt, but when your a god it is impossible to die. Being immortal does have it's downsides, you know." He looked down at the floor for a moment. "Once I was usffering so much I wanted to die...but I couldn't." He looked up, realising he was getting a little to emotional, a side he hasn't shown in a while, and cracked a grin to make up for it. "But hey, no point in crying over spilt milk, right?"

Peri remained optimistic, wanting to believe that Inti was right in hoping it would be anti-clamatic, but knowing all too well it was highly unlikely.
"So much like last summer.," he shook his head, "The majority of ponies now adays believe in the Rainbow of Light as god. With it there is a Rainbow of Darkness. LAst summer that dark rainbow split and attacked here."
"The ponies are strong in groups, if they feel threatend by any gods that have shown up, they'll certainly shove back.," Peri told him, not as a word of caution, but more so as a fact.

"Rainbow of Light?" Inti tilted his head slightly. His ears curved outward and his golden earrings jingled. "I've heard of that, but I don't know anythng about it. Where I'm from, I'm the ponie's god and that's that. I don't wanna sound concieded or anything, that's just the way it is."
He finnished his soup and looked up with a smile.

Peri shrugged it off with his shoulders and took a big swig of his soup. Swallowing loudly, he continued. "I hear ya, man. It's like that here. Just like your ponies believe in you, the ones here believe in the rainbow. To most, that is that as well."
He began to scratch the back of his head in contemplation. For a minor second Jewel crossed his mine, as if he was suspecting that she might just fall into that category. If that was the case, she may just reject his advances if she knew of Inti. Peri, however, accepted this. He openly and willingly got himself involved with a god, he would certainly take responcibility for it.
"I mean, well, it's complicated. Aren't you concerned with how the world now might react to you? You might be immortal, but you can get hurt and you can be contained. And being trapped up for eternity isn't my cup of tea."

"I hear ya, man. It's like that here. Just like your ponies believe in you, the ones here believe in the rainbow. To most, that is that as well."
Inti's ears folded. He wasn't sure he quite understood this whole thing about the rainbow. "Still, I don't see how ponies can worship something that can't speak or take on any kind of form. It's like worshiping a rock."
"I mean, well, it's complicated. Aren't you concerned with how the world now might react to you? You might be immortal, but you can get hurt and you can be contained. And being trapped up for eternity isn't my cup of tea."
Inti blinked for a moment, looking of into space. He didn't really know how to respond to that. "Well...it's not like I chose to be like this. I didn't up and decide one day 'hey, I think I'm going to be a god.' I was just born into it." He shrugged. He froze for a moment, thinking to himself and then out loud. "Actually, I never thought about it before... I've been around for so long I don't really remember how I came to be."
How did I get here? Was a born like a normal pony? Was I created by some unknown force or magic? Or did I just appear? If gods are believed to have created the earth, who created us? He realized his thoughts were straying to far and it would probably be concidered insulting to his kind to question where gods came from, so he shoved the thought away. It probably didn't matter anyway.

"See, that is the thing, I think the rainbow can take on a form. It comes and helps us in trouble. And last summer, it somehow blessed 7 ponies living here with different abilities to fight against the dark rainbow. And if the dark rainbow could split into 7 different ponies, I'm certain the Rainbow could as well.," Peri tried to explain.
"It may not talk to us, but sometimes words are taken for grantid. I can't say that this way is the best for ponies to follow. But it's what they know. Must people will think your either crazy if you say you're a god, or be against you from the start."
(Brigid: How dare you question our origin!)

Inti frowned. "I still don't understand it, and I probably never will." He said, shrugging it off. He finnished his soup and sipped the remains of the broth from the bowl. He licked his lips and smiled. "That was really good. Thanks alot. Uh... where should I put this?" The stallion asked, holding out the bowl in front of him. He yawned and stretched out his arms for a seccond. He was ready to 'hit the hay' as they say. (Assuming Peri has taken the bowl from him.) Inti layed down on the bed and his eyes slowly shut. He yawned again softly and yanked the covers over him, however they covered only a bit of him and his front leg and back leg were hanging from the side of the bed lazily. "...And if I shouldn't tell them I'm a god then I wont. I'm sure Brigid wouldn't have it any other way." By now the stallion's voice was at a whisper. "..considering the mess I mad when I told someone before...I...I guess it's my best option for now..." As his voice drifted off into nothingness the stallion fell into deep slumber. Unfortunately for Peri Winkle, he snored. (ooc: poor peri!  ) |

Peri took the bowl, "I'll take care of it." He walked slowly to the kitchen and set it in the sink along with his. It was far too late to do the dishes, besides, he wasn't home often enough to eat a portion worth washing. The white stallion would've come back offering the other a beer, but it seemed that Inti was swiftly asleep.
The actor smiled smugly at the bed Inti laid in. It was odd to think of Inti as being so naive to many things of this modern time. In a sense, it was almost as if Inti were either a son or younger brother as Peri Winkle found that he tried to explain things to him and route for him.
With the shake of his head, he dismissed those thoughts. It was far too late to really think much at all, and although he should study for his next day of work, Peri found that sleep was really all he wanted. Taking care to remove his glass eye and to set it in a glass of cleaning fluid, Peri took to bed. Shortly getting up to grab some earplugs, but going to bed none the less.

(jump to next morning)
Inti woke up but refused to open his eyes even thought the beams of sunlight through the window were practically scratching at his eyes. He stretched and moaned, obviously the God wasn't always a morning person, and the covers fell of him onto the floor. Soon after, Inti did as well after stretching unawaringly too close to the edge of his bed. THUD!
At an instant the yellow stallion shot up onto his wobbling legs. (He was always a little unstable when he first got up.) His eyes darted around the room as if someone had fired a riffle. Finally they fell upon the glass with Peri's fake eye inside. Inti, who was unfarmiliar with such modern surgery replacement methods was instantly alarmed. He reared up and let out a low, deep scream and uttered a few things in his native language.
"Peri! Your...Your eye!! Somebody came in here and...and...did this too you! Look!!" The God was so filled with alarm that he had forgotten to mind the fact that his mage was still sleeping.

(lol!!! *gives Inti a big squishy hug*)
As soon Inti let loose his low and alarmed scream, Peri Winkle shot upright, but only half awake. He began to stumble, fearing that Inti's shout was due to something in the room ready for attack, perhaps that Yama fellow, and Peri soon was wound in his blankets, on the floor, and struggling.
"Wha?! Huh! Where?!," he shouted in his tenor to where ever Inti was before the actor truly began to listen to what the other was saying. Hearing how terribly frightened and horrified his eye made the god just pulled a long fit of laughter from him. The stallion continued to laugh until tears came forth, before looking calmly back up to the other.
"Hey, calm down.," he said rather relieved, "No body took out my eye!" Peri slowly began to wriggle himself free of his blanket confinement. Once done with that, he approached the other with the glass cup. "I lost my eye when I was a kid, this is a fake. It's made of glass. Ponies that have lost their eyes sometimes wear glass ones like these to fit in, or to avoid others from being grossed out."
Peri removed the eye from water and held it in front of him before popping it in to demonstrate. "Most don't even realize it, but often you can see a "lazy eye" that doesn't move like a real one." Peri removed it then and retrieved an eye patch instead. He felt rather showy that day and put that over his eye instead. "It's good to switch back and forth now and again. I mostly where the eye for work."
With the crisis settled, Peri gathered up his blankets before tossing them on the bed. He didn't bother to waste time to make his bed; he was a bachelor after all. "So, what have you for breakfast. Looks like you could use a good ol' cup o' joe."

Inti listened to Peri Winkle's explination with a hung jaw and wide eyes. He couldn't belive what he was hearing. When the stallion held the fake eye in front of him and then popped it back into its socket, Inti turned his head to the side and clenched his tounge in between his teeth to keep himself from gagging. A look and sound of discust came over him. It rather freaked him out. He'd never seen anything like that before.
If there was such a circumstance to someone in the village, they'd simply wait for thier socket to scab or scar over and cover it with decoritive cloth. It would forever mark them as a pony of great and brave deeds, or great stupidity depending on how they earned such an injury.
"I'm sorry." He said dipping his head to his companion and swallowing the lump in his throat. "I didn't know such things were even possible." He felt rather embarassed for being so ignorant and he began to blush a bit.
He felt more at ease when Peri replaced the eye with an eye patch. It reminded the God more of the customs back at home. He smiled symathetically to Peri. "If you don't mind my asking, how did you lose it in the first place?"

"Not at all.," Peri responded before relaying the tail to him.
"I was really young, too young to remember it. Back then, my dad was really, really sick with cancer.," he paused, knowing the other didn't know what cancer was. "Well, uh, basically, in his head, there were a lot of growing masses that shouldn't have been there. When these masses grow, they can sometimes make people change personalities for no reasons.
"That was the case with my dad. Normally he had been very passive, but he snapped into a fit of rage, hurting both my mom and me. As a result I lost the eye, though mom wouldn't tell me the full details. My dad...he died a few months later from these masses." He feel silent for just a moment, before returning to his usual vigor.
"Hey, how about that breakfast?"
