Chapter 17 - It seeks Answers
“Hey, Thia! Did you see the form in your desk today?”
“It did.”
“So what do you think?”
“It does not know.”
“Yeah, I don't really know either. I can't believe schools are still springing the ol’ ‘Hey kids, what do you want to be when you grow up?’ thing in this day and age. Like, don't we have enough problems?”
“. . .”
"So... any thoughts come to mind?"
"It had never considered these questions before."
"Yeah, I guess your dad is pretty laid back. I bet he just says, ‘You don't have to do anything, Thia. Dad just wants you to be happy.’"
“It is impressed by the depth of Amy's mimicry.”
"Heh. Well with how much time I spend over at your place, your dad is basically my dad at this point."
“It confirms that It's summoner considers Amy to be a pseudo Daughter.”
"..."
“It detects greater than usual rise in temperature from Amy.”
“Hah. Phew. Yeah, it's warm all of a sudden isn’t it? Ha ha. Somebody must have messed with the thermostat.”
“Clarify: the thermostat regulates the temperature of air indoors?”
“Yup, why?”
“Clarify: Amy and It are outdoors?”
"...Maybe."
“It posits: the thermostat has no bearing on the temperature of the air outdoors.”
"Wow, look. Is that a cloud?"
"It confirms."
"Anyways. Look. Don't you always ask people for clarification whenever there's something you don't understand?"
“It accepts the premise. Continue.”
"Well, then why not just go ask everyone you know these questions and see what they have to say? Maybe you’ll hear something that resonates with you."
“Understood. It will ask everyone It knows for their answers to the career questionnaire.”

"Oh, hey Thia. Where were you?”
“It has visited all the realms that It can access from the mortal plane and asked all the Divinity—Elder, True, Major, and Minor—that It knows. But it still does not have an answer for It's Self.”
“Oh, were you just on the internet? Yeah the internet's great and all, but there's way too many different opinions. And even worse, there's so much generic platitude trash to wade through before you can actually find anything useful."
“It confirms.”
"Why not ask the people you know at school?”
“It is tired. It will resume the search for Truth tomorrow.”
“Aye aye, Captain Thia. I’ll take you home now. When day breaks, we shall once more set sail in search of the truth.”
