[b]I procure a stout teacup from my bag and pour some tea for myself.[/b]
"So, what are you doing here? It seems like you could leave at any time."
[b]I sip my tea.[/b]

-
"Actually, I am banished. This is my punishment for helping my race defeat their oppressors." [b]He hangs his head, saddened.[/b] "As if I could watch my people be destroyed and do nothing."
-
[b]I nod.[/b] "So, who were your oppressors?"
-
"A neighboring star system. They were more advanced in warfare than us."
-
"And yet you speak of yourself as a god. How were they to overpower you?"
-
"The rules. The Ascended, whom I am now a part of, have rules. No interfering with mortals. Period." [b]He sighs and leans back in the chair.[/b] "I broke them to save my people. In retaliation, they wiped out both races."
-
"If you can't interfere in mortal business, then shouldn't I not be here?" [b]I begin to think about... Something.[/b]
-
"I invited you, gave you the choice." [b]He notices your distraction[/b] "Something wrong?"
-
"I suppose you did. Now, do these gods have their rules in writing?"
-
[b]He shakes his head, smiling[/b] "They believe that they have surpassed the need for material things."
-
"Well then how do you regulate anything? That's idiotic! There's no consistency or anything!"
-
"Good point. See why I prefer mortals?" [b]He looks around[/b] "Say... Take me with you. When you leave here."
-
"How? If you could not leave before, what do I change?" [b]I sip some more tea.[/b]
-
"You willingly give me passage. Ironically, the rules are all about choice, yet I have none."
-
"I just have to say you can go?"
-
"Aye, let me tag along with ya off this planet and I'm free to go."
-
"All right. Sounds ok with me!"
-
[b]He stands as well, handing back the cup.[/b]
-
"Now comes the small matter of how to leave..." [b]I look around.[/b]
-
"I have a ship." [b]The Ascended has the decency to look chagrined before tapping his foot on the barren earth. A rumble comes from under the earth and what you realize is a hangar bay opening. A ship begins rising out of it resting on the rising floor of the hangar.[/b]
-
[b]I look up at it.[/b] "Looks great!" [b]I get into the ship once I can.[/b]
-
"Sounds fine with me. Time to get off this rock!" [b]I pack up the chairs and table.[/b]
