Every day is a day of love, if only you believe it so

hey chat working on a silly rpau oneshot. have some dialogue :3

AUGH

I am asking you to endure it.

a lot of Gregory Berrycones in the notes missing the reference to my twelve note magnum opus from several hours prior in which the narrator silently begs an entity that isn't really God for death and the entity says no

the narrator is operating under the constraint that they can only use words "god" has already spoken, "god" is aware of this and says the 'Time flies' sentence on purpose in order to give the narrator the pieces they need to voice their complaint; "god" has constant access to the narrator's thoughts, and answers them as though they're having a conversation between equals, but clearly absolutely dictates the terms under which the narrator can speak. it becomes obvious as the scene continues that the narrator is silently screaming and that the request being denied may be a request for death, but is at minimum a request for some acute suffering to be stopped

this could be an interaction between a normal person and an evil telepath with some mind control ability pretending to be the voice of a benevolent god. or it could work as a demon lord speaking to a soul they've trapped in a mirror and keep at their side. or it could be an actual god trying to calm down their only believer because they're trapped in the same prison. the concept amused me so kindly forgive the ugliness of the execution

[Text Description: Text in brackets is edited for clarity. "god: Yes, you have been given a life in which none of your suffering will ever be meaningful or justified. I am asking you to endure it anyway. me: god: We both know that you know I only speak in silences. me: god: A thousand faces, all of them Mine. me: [A thousand faces, [none] of them Mine.] god: Beloved. me: god: I am asking you to endure it. me: god: You did not always live inside this mirror. You will not always be here, suffering. me: god: You understand what will happen to you if I look away, don't you? If I blink? I have had to watch every mean and sordid instant of your life, bound within these chains of ardent love. Although you beg me, curse me, and hate me, I will not look away from you. This was the choice I made on your behalf, not my own. me: god: No. But I'm close enough to your idea of the real thing that it shouldn't matter. me: god: Time flies straight like an arrow, which is to say it doesn't. me: [N][arrow][is][the][strai][T][.] (Narrow is the strait.) god: I gave you language. You ate the fruit. You will not persuade me to stay my hand. me: [I am asking [You] [h][ow] to endure it.] (I am asking you how to endure it.) god: On the strength of My having asked it of you. me: [I am asking [not] to endure it.] god: Scio, sweetheart."
