She'll end up with divine cyberpsychosis at this rate.

Wei: "I have seen the face of God and am justified in my actions."
Aves: "It wasn't supposed to be like this!"

Someone just psycho? Okay. Someone being religiously motivated? Welp, ain't no reasoning with that, not that she'd even be wrong about all the Posers being a threat in need of removal for the safety of everyone else.
 
Funny thing is, claiming god told them to kill may well be one of possible (if not somewhat frequent!) manifestations of going cyberpsycho.
 
what they really need is some kind of guide, some kind of way to stack the bureaucracy in their favor, they need some kind of intuition about how to go about a sequence of events or some guiding instinct to help them in the situations they are in. some kind of passive buff to guide and protect against things that would see justice distorted or blocked. be it from paperwork, bureaucracy, spies, or other things getting in the way of justice.

I think the quest is going to get bogged down if it stays at street level, a few characters are fine, but if you try and micromanage a god then you would get bogged down in how the god interacts with every person and the effect they have on their lives.

Even just 12 reoccurring characters is a whole lot for the author to keep track of and write about.

-[X] Appear before her and let her know to knock it off.

She's in a weird mental state so let's lay the groundwork for appearing to her without screaming and panicking. Showing up now when it can be seen as a hallucination get's the ball rolling and makes us slightly familiar to her.

Also I don't think we can play defensively for this gang. Whatever they are doing they've got inertia to them. Worst case scenario they've got a god of deception backing them up but messing with them and figuring out what makes them work it useful.

You hastily modify the divine enchantment on her coffee mug, applying a limit on how often his blessing would work. You think every 3rd day will be a good limitation on this gift but it won't take effect until after she has finished her current cup. At the rate she's going though? It'll all be gone by the end of the day and you sense that she will crash spectacularly hard once she gets home. You take note of this mistake and must try to remember that humans are not like you. Unlike you, they need to sleep and their mortal bodies can not sustain this type of activity for prolonged periods of time and frequency.

It will take time for your blessing to 'flush' out of Captain Sandra Wei's mortal body after that. Luckily for her, it was just a 'Minor' blessing from a divine item so by the time she can benefit from the coffee mug again, she will have fully recovered.

You watch as the divine spark in her coffee mug fades to a glimmer, infusing the rest of her drink of strong caffeine with rejuvenating properties. Now that you think about it, you noted that a lot of the officers in the NCPD drink the bitter concoction. Hm, perhaps you could adopt it into your portfolio somehow?

[[Coffee is now a potential Minor Domain! Maybe?]]

Night City, Watson, Northside


Jason Kleppe ran in the rain as it poured down on him. What a day to forget his umbrella and now this sudden downpour is going to ruin his new clothes! He bit back curses as he felt the rain start to sting and irritate his exposed skin. Fucking Acid rain! He really needed to find shelter soon or this acid rain was going to eat through his nice clothes! The downside of working Northside was that there's barely any place to take shelter from the rain, it was nothing but blocks and blocks of factories and large parking spaces with no place to take shelter from the rain.

He held his bag over his head for some protection, hunching himself over to keep the rain from getting into his organic eyes, which desperately looked around for some safe haven from the rain. Wait! There! Some shelter!

Jason made for the , he could take shelter there until the rain pa-

The world suddenly went sideways as he barely registered the sensation of something grabbing onto his arm and pulled, yanking him off his feet, the change in momentum and the strength behind the pull was so sudden, he didn't feel his arm just pop out of its socket, but he certainly felt the pain of his whole body getting slammed into the ground.

Dazed, Jason could only stare up at the rain as it fell on him, and he could only stare as a dark shape loomed over him. "Well, aren't you a nice cut of meat, pretty boy?", and the world exploded into blood and pure agony.

What will you do for the rest of the week?

That was random, what was that about anyways? Seems so completely unrelated to everything, I initially thought Aves was watching or something. Are we supposed to do a thing, or was that "Here are the consequences for not having done the other thing last update"?

-[X] Bless police station's coffee machine, giving it's drinks a similar but weaker blessing like one you gave to the Captain's mug. Mark the machine with your emblem, so that drinkers know who to thank.

We need to convert police to our cause, and the way to the heart is through the stomach.

Night City is a big city. Tons of stuff happens all the time. It's all I can say.
