Who, technically. The Oracle is someone who's the speaker of Apollo's prophecies. It's a spirit that passes from maiden to maiden, should they make the vow to Apollo. Rachel's the current one.
[They go quiet for a moment while they listen. It takes a few moments before they're able to respond, and they sound a little unsure as they speak next.]
That's...real, where you're from? Apollo and his prophecies, and the other gods too?
Oh, yeah. [ he. immediately feels like this is a bad reaction, so he's careful in what he says. ] They're very much real back home. But I know they aren't in other worlds. Or they're just myths.
Even where we're from, people think they're myths because not everyone can see them or the power they still have over civilization. But there're special people who can see through it and recognize what's real.
...Will's a lot more observant than some people may give him credit for. He loves people. And he loves talking to people and learning how to help them even if it's just being kind to them. I think he probably understands what sort of position you're all in and wants to make sure people are looking after you, too.
You know, in a way he reminds me of someone I used to know. That person was always smiling and talking positive, no matter what kind of trouble appeared.
[Gmail said Ox doesn't get to talk about their senpai.]
Yeah, we were friends. He...he knew he was going to die young, but I always saw him smiling and helping people regardless. Like what was going to happen in the near future wasn't a bother to him at all.
For some people it must be easier to help other people than let on when they need help themselves. Like...why focus on the inevitable when time can be spend doing good for other people? I get that. [ that's. not really himself (he thinks, even though it kind of is), but he knows people like that. ]

They're just myths in my world, yeah. I never thought gods could actually be real...

Apollo's Will's dad, for one thing. [ he could stand to just say yes, but he is blunt sometimes in making his point. ]
no subject
Will's a GOD?!

Oh. ...it's not intimidating, is it? To be so close to a half-god?
no subject
he does not, because he thinks it's a little funny. ]
Ask him to tell you about Star Wars and get back to me with that question. [ so lmao no, not in the slightest. ]
no subject
I'll ask him the next time he comes to see me.
no subject
That'll probably be sooner than later. He can't help himself sometimes. [ damn extrovert. ]

He really does mean well, doesn't he? That's kind of him.
no subject
He's probably the kindest and most understanding person I've ever met, which is extremely annoying of him.
