You were invited to meet up with the Creator to discuss the upcoming deadline. The machine you followers have been working on was due just tomorrow, and yet its completion in time was dubious at best.

Clockwork beasts gathered around a circle drawn on the ground. They were waiting for something, and you hoped it wasn't you.

The Creator
The Creator appeared behind you. Scaring you by placing a hoof on your shoulder. "I must thank you for all the work you have completed. But I fear it isn't enough."
The Creator
"Two heads of Existence and their demon bear down on us. We must have this machine completed soon. Production must go up."
What do you say?

Chosen Action
I'll do anything you need me to do, my Lord.
The Creator
"Fantastic. You're getting the picture now. I was almost worried we'd have to get drastic."

A lancelot is dragged into the circle by a few people. They quickly escape afterwards. There's a small chime, a signal that a feast is to begin. The clockworks rip apart the lancelot on the spot, splitting it among themselves and shedding metal, much like the one the machine gives for art, onto the floor.

When the attack is finished each clockwork drags itself back to its own corner, and watches the cleaning crew collect the metal and cleanse the area of blood.

The Creator
"I had hoped we could avoid the ritualistic sacrifices, but these are desperate times."

Chosen Action
Say no more, my Lord. Tell me what species you wish for and it shall be done.
The Creator
"Fantastic, little meg, gather up the ugliest of them all and bring them to the circle. Let them be culled and their flesh fed!"
The Creator
"It was a good thing I kept these failures of machines. While not optimal, and far more cruel, desperate times call for desperate measures."

Can we honor the dead?

You ask both if you can honor the dead, as well as about these failed machines before you.

The Creator
"Hmmm you want to honor the dead?"
The Creator
"Well I suppose there is no harm, especially if this makes it easier for you to accept their death. I was going to demand that every scrap of them left behind must be sent into one of my failed machines, but I suppose as long as you are dedicated the minimal amount of loss from honoring the small parts not eaten shall be fine."
The Creator
"As for those machines, they are wonderful, don't you think so?"
Are they?

Chosen Action
They are wonderful.

You gaze upon the machines and tell the Creator they are wonderful.

The Creator
".........................................................."
The Creator
"Walk into the circle and feed yourself into the machine, please."

W-What? No! Why?

In surprise you ask him why he would say that. You absolutely wouldn't do that to yourself!

The Creator
"Good, you have some brains still left there. For a moment I was sure you were infected with one of my special strains of clockwork. You're no use to me if you accept just any random order I give."
The Creator
"What if some imposter takes my place and starts making foul orders?"
The Creator
"For the Lord has written-

"Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of poverty, have become corrupted! They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a lamb!"

You must be careful of who you listen to, young meg."

Did you just quote yourself?
The Creator
"I am the Lord. Who better to quote than myself?"
The Creator
"But I would prefer to have some of your own thoughts. To know when I am correct, and when it is the words of a monster in disguise."
What do you say?

Chosen Action
Have you seen such monsters before?
The Creator
"Constantly."
The Creator
"IT IS I WHO BRINGS RELGION FORTH. AND IT IS THE OTHER LIMBO GODS WHO STEAL MY PROPHETS AND FLOCK FOR THEIR OWN NEEDS!"
The Creator
"If they are gods, why are they so poor at starting their own religions and writing their own books? They all come to me for that when they are feeling kind, and steal when they are not."

"Tell me, young meg, if I were to say to you, "Grab a sword, for the city is filled with sinners. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor." Can you tell if those are my words, or the words of another God?"
Would they?

Chosen Action
Those would not be your words.
The Creator
You prepare to speak your anwser, but the Creator waves his hoof. "Actually, I do not want to hear what you have to say. The reality of your thoughts, if wrong, would shatter my vision of you."
The Creator
"It does not matter. Even if you were wrong, I would forgive you. You're just a mortal. Stupid. Just know that even when it seems I am your greatest enemy, I am only doing this for your wellbeing."
The Creator
"Behold my failed machines. Attempts at containing the Neo. Attracting it with Death! Yet none of them had worked. The Neo could find more death in other places."
The Creator
"I tired of all the Death anyway. I came up with a more elegant machine, and when running, it does indeed attract, and trap the Neo. Even if its just one half."

"Honestly, how funny that every few universes I come up with the same ideas, with the same plans, with the same machines."
The Creator
"The other limbo gods, their memory fades over time. Some of them cannot remember much of what happened the last universe, others can only remember three, four, maybe five back!"
The Creator
"I suppose it wouldn't be called a limbo if it was easy to escape....."
The Creator
"But the worst part, is that they each will remember transgressions that happened to them. Even when most memories fade, they remember how much they hate their others."

"I suppose this makes it easier to control them at least if you're like me. Always remembering. Enough to expect and solve issues quickly. You know, there's a beast above known as Existence. It plays around with this universe, and it too remembers."
The Creator
"How horrifying it must be for some, to have a beast appear to you, and speak such sweet perfect words that it feels as if all your problems instantly disappear."
The Creator
"There's godlike AIs out there who deal with this you know? Ah but I must say, the one part that is truly devastating is that each god remembers a peace, and then the day of Terror. When the Heaven of Good was broken."
The Creator
"Even when all other memories fail, they know that they are angry."
The Creator
"But enough about my issues. I will have them all solved soon. Why don't you gather those animals and have them sacrificed?"
The Creator
"I see you prepare to question me. Do not bother. Either gather bodies for death, or do not."
The Creator
"Just make sure that machine is done in time, little creator."
End of Meeting.
