Chapter 2 Page 25

Hi darlings,

Still floored by the amount of support you guys have given me recently. I was nervous to start this project so it's really nice to have the feedback that people are enjoying it.

Stick man might be a stick man but honestly if I'd been dealing with fake god marks for 40+ years I'd probably be a little sick of everyone's shit too.

  1. As much as this sucks for Eggie and Malene, I can understand this man’s perspective. He has faced YEARS of fake god mark claime, so why would this one be any different? Still, the first REAL god mark claim in a while, and he rejects them. It is kinda funny.

    1. That is kind of the point of these kinds of characters – to show us how dangerous preconceptions are. My driving instructor told me most accidents on the countryside happens because you cross the same road so many times without any car ever coming that when a car finally shows up your brain won’t process the information fast enough and you’ll drive out before even realizing there’s traffic. In any situation where almost every single interaction will be a negative result you have to be extremely diligent and do the bare minimum without question every single time. Unfortunately people are people, and assuming we can consistently rise above our basic design flaws consistently day out and day in is dangerously optimistic. That’s why automated tools are a big deal in the autoindustry, because they detect when humans are being humans and can trigger the alarm or even act on our behalf in some cases. This sort of thing can be used even in setting such as this temple thing, by perhaps having automated detection spells at the doors or if that’s impossible have the beginners at the bottom of the totem poles do these kinds of checks as part of the typical “new guy at work” crap they have to deal with. Another common solution is to always have two people doing these sorts of things so that at least one might catch what the other misses. In fact it’s almost strange he’s dissuading Ivan from doing the work – avoiding it himself is what should be his top priority if he’s so disillusioned. Perhaps it hints at deeper reasons why the temple doesn’t want god marks to be found… Or perhaps he’s just a bundle of sticks in general. That’s a human thing too.

    1. That’s crazy – it’s still surreal to me when people accurately recount my characters’ names and the plot and such.
