Okay so here's the scene from Full Fathom Five about creation myths that I've been talking about. It's so, so good.
@indi very kindly grabbed this scene from his ebook and took the extra step of editing out extraneous stuff and cutting it down to the main conversation.
@starkatt Happy to help. Look, if I had scripture, it'd be that, Bone Dance by Emma Bull, and some White Wolf books probably. ;)
some context for those who haven't read the Craft Sequence: ]
This is a world whose economy is partially built upon literal manifest gods, and partially built upon a magical capitalism (Craft) that's rapidly reshaping everything. Kai builds sub-sentient god-figures for the rich and powerful to use as financial instruments, and Teo is a potential client.
Also as a sidenote, Kai is my favorite trans character in fiction.
