[Shinki are already dead, so perhaps not there. But as for the gods... well, she has not had the chance or opportunity to determine that the statement is true.]
no subject
[And there have definitely been some who he'd imagine would have been worthy of it. Most people here don't seem to have clean slates, but most of them also seem to have some sort of heroic bent regardless.]
no subject
On one hand, I do not know of any gods who perished in situations where I was both present here and capable of reaching their souls. I have not detected any, but it may be that none were worthy. On the other, it may be that souls of the gods who perish return to their proper worlds, in which case you would be correct.
no subject
If you only detect "worthy" souls, it sounds like the decision is already made for you anyway.
no subject
[...Perhaps to her dismay. If Odin were to order her to Choose souls in particular, then she could. Her own estimations aside.]
no subject
But considering what we know so far, you shouldn't have to do it for gods.
no subject
[The Valkyrie looks away, slightly.]
[She is not meant to live among others; she is a goddess of fate, one whose interactions with mortals are meant to come only at their moments of death.]
I would not wish to make that choice.
no subject
He watches her closely for a few silent moments before commenting, tone straightforward.] I don't think anyone would, in your position.
no subject
[The implication of making such a choice is profoundly disturbing, such that even she looks taken aback.]
I have come to believe that it would be best were I not called to Choose any of you.
no subject
You're probably right. Even if it was possible, it'd hurt you and others more than it would help anyone.
[Any god here who was Chosen would have more than just a single friend, and an existence like that probably wouldn't sit well with some of those friends.]
no subject
It would. Yet it is tempting to grant some people here an eternity in Asgard.
no subject

no subject
[He can't imagine everyone here would want to be gods in death any more than they do right now. Some people just don't really consider themselves fitting for the role, chosen or not.]
no subject
[Why would anyone not wish to be a god? Besides, whether or not they consider themselves fitting is irrelevant: it is the gods' purview, manifested in the Valkyrie, to decide worth.]
no subject
[A good chunk of them don't want to be here, or serve their role only out of obligation to innocents rather than to the Heavens.]
no subject
no subject
[He's straightforward about it, because that's the general attitude he's gotten out of his time here - either they don't want to be gods, don't think they're worthy to be gods, or aren't to be trusted in a position of power.]
no subject
The 'gods' here have been given the name of gods and certain powers and abilities to go along with that. It is much the same as naming someone a knight and giving them a sword. Their inner nature is no different.
They have not become gods. They are not gods. Their flesh remains mortal, their essence physical. They have not die, been Chosen, been trained, or been ascended.
no subject
Do you think extra steps are going to change anything? If someone doesn't want to be a god in life, waiting until they're dead and telling them they're chosen isn't going to do a damn thing, and neither is training someone who doesn't want to be trained.
[It probably helps that Shun doesn't buy into the idea that gods and humans are inherently different, considering the "true gods" here really aren't giving the mantle a good name.]
no subject
Most certainly it does. Everyone who fights has a reason for fighting.
