Well, as I understood it from his own mouth... Just that. The writer of your story, the mover of the pieces. I saw his soul, so I am inclined to believe him.
honestly, that is a good question. i thought he was already treating me as part of his plans? what with the way he shows up every day to tell me how important his plans are?
i guess he might be more practical than i thought. that is actually so weird.
anyway, kind of? i am not sure if you are talking about dirk's exact situation because i don't know what he has and hasn't told you. but when i was 13 a meteor did destroy basically everyone on earth except me and my friends. so i guess technically at what i think is the religious people adult age, there were only a few humans left and i was one of them?
[Well. That component about the meteor is... low key terrifying and high key interesting. But he doesn't think he's going to get anything coherent out of John about that, at least not right now.]
You're resisting him, then. I can understand the appeal, of course. But...
i guess this is all kind of tmi seeing as we basically just met but i only want to be a normal person with a job. if dirk actually has some stuff for me to do that is relevant to saving our universe, he can tell me about that, but i'm not going to do a bunch of pokemon master adventure stuff just because i am also a god.
i kind of do? the issue is that the whole thing is super complicated and i barely understand it. if whatever your dirk plan is works then you should ask him.
but i think the basic idea is that i am the only other person here other than dirk who is maybe "Relevant" with a capital r. or maybe i'm more True? fuck.
a friend explained all this to me once but it has been possibly literally an eternity since then so i'm kind of rusty. but i think i hold relevance to the canon of the world i come from even dead, somehow? or dirk thinks i do, i mean. i don't think he has any proof because he'd probably shove it in my face if he did but he wants me to be a hero here to sort of maintain my hero/main character status and through that, my overall Relevance.
there's something about essentiality as well????????
i am not an expert on this stuff. dirk and my friend both went "ultimate", which gave them all this knowledge and they were already really smart so they understand what's going on. i'm just a dude who played a game and got superpowers, really.
ok, i know what you're about to say. "If you're not an expert, how can you possibly know doing what Dirk says wouldn't help?" i don't, but he doesn't either. if he finds something to convince me that i am somehow going to be relevant to canon again as myself and not a dead body, i'll listen to him. but he hasn't found that yet.

What does Dirk lecture you about?
no subject
no, i mean the part about "Your God", what's that supposed to mean?
no subject
Is there some... falsehood spun here?
no subject
ok, this is a lot. wow. i guess dirk is really big on his plans and master minding stuff. is that what you mean, he was talking about that?
i'm guessing you're being pretty literal about the soul thing, though. we are actually both gods because of the same dumb reason, so he is not MY god.

Did you also reach adulthood as the last of your species?

i died doing it and that should be enough!

Yet... I can’t help but think that he has some purpose behind that urging. Might you know what it is?
