I requested one of my own characters, because I'm just that cool (and also Vivian was spluttering in horror in my head). Myth!Vivian / narrator from Dogs.

---

Vivian: You- what- why?! You're supposed to save the environment, not destroy it!

Dogs Narrator: "…they were pretty ecologically careful to make sure the plants would be okay, but 'the environment' isn't a thing that wanted to live, and the animals were suffering and dying and it had to stop."

Vivian: "Well, that's unspeakably self-centered of you, isn't it, that just because you don't understand something you have to eliminate it? Nature isn't yours, you can't just eradicate it because you think it's so much better to be human!"

Dogs Narrator: "…Um, I didn't personally participate in the Last Extinction, but the people who did understood what they were doing pretty well. If you want to be an animal you can get modded, nobody'll stop you, it even pays well."

Vivian: Oh, that's much better, the entire natural world has been turned into capitalist exploitation. I don't want body modifications, I want there to be animals, and humans, and critters; that's why I brought back sphinxes in the first place!

Dogs Narrator: "…Capitalist exploitation? Huh? Sphinxes are people, that's not the same thing, people can exist if they want, but I'm glad cooler heads prevailed and there aren't untold trillions of animals suffering for your outdated value system."

Vivian: "Animals don't just lie there and suffer? They live and love and play just like us, they have families and friends, they can learn- but then, what, humanity decided that it was better to murder them all rather than just make their lives better?"

Dogs Narrator: "Oh no, we just sterilized them. We didn't want to kill animals because we were sad about them dying! That would be stupid! And I know they did other things but they mostly lived short painful lives and a lot of them ate or parasitized each other and even the very happiest animals imaginable were stuck with permanently frozen potential unless we'd figured out how to do uplifting, which no one managed!"

Vivian: "Compared to a tortoise or an angel, you live a short painful life, but they're not eliminating humanity over it. Animals are a vital part of a healthy, balanced ecosystem and you just- got rid of them all!"

Dogs Narrator: "…I, uh, don't have a finite lifespan. Or encounter a lot of pain day to day. Or think that a tortoise could have possibly decided to interfere if I did, because it would be a tortoise. And the ecosystem wasn't doing anything it needed to be doing more than animals needed to stop suffering."

Vivian: Ugh. Human superiority complex. You've irrevocably ruined the planet and you just claim it's all for the best because animals weren't good enough for you."

Dogs Narrator: "We have the tech to bring animals back, we're just, you know, not into committing atrocities these days."

Vivian: "Oh, well, that definitely makes it all better." *goes off to make a whole bunch of animals in anticipation of horrible population bottlenecks, with bonus protection spells*

Cloudbank!Nick and Zenikiel:
Zenikiel: "So this 'floatstone' occurs naturally?"
Nick: "Actually, it grows. It is a form of life somewhat similar to coral."
Zenikiel: "Interesting. I would like fertile samples of this stone and your expertise in using it to construct airships. I can offer magical advantages, metal, or clever assistants in return."
Nick: "I'm sure you've figured this out for yourself, but it has to be hydrogen. And rule zero is 'no fire'."
Zenikiel: [faintly amused] "Yes."
[much negotiation and work follows]

Spaceship!Nick and Cloudbank!Nick:
[Have a rapid-fire negotiation and end up exchanging large amounts of food for metal and tech.]
[Cloudbank Nick builds a shipping and trading empire across Cloudbank with modern engines, radios, and computers.]
[Spaceship Nick establishes a regular trade route to Cloudbank, buying cheap food for tech and metal.]
[Cloudbank joins the jump network and slowly ramps up in tech and quality of life. It becomes a moderately popular tourist destination by having all the pretty weather and 'charming local customs' and strange wildlife and yet not being too dangerous.]

Pantheon!Nick and Spaceship!Nick:
Zenikiel: "Traveller, explain how has this vessel has appeared in my land."
Nick: "Uh... My apologies for the crashing. My jump engine seems to have malfunctioned."
Zenikiel: "The damage was limited, and it sounds as though this was an accident. What is a jump engine?"
Nick: "Yes, it was an accident. A jump engine allows ships to leap between worlds. They are expensive and complex, but are very useful to trade things. Often, two worlds each lack something the other has in plenty. Trade networks are very profitable. Strange voice from the sky, do you know where I might find people I can hire to help repair my ship?"
Zenikiel: "I am a god of industry and trade. You will find kindred spirits in my domain. You can find a town a day's walk beyond the stone tower to your east."
Nick: "A god. I'm sorry, but just because you have a powerful voice doesn't..."
Zenikiel: "Behold, mortal, as I shape the land to my will! [a spar of rock emerges from the ground]
Nick: "Alright then. I will tentatively conclude that you are a god."
Zenikiel: "If you leave offerings of useful tools at the temple and do not harm anything except in self-defense or defense of another, I will do what I can to help you repair your ship. I can provide metal and clever workers, as well as magical advantages."
Nick: "Sounds like a good deal to me."

The two Nicks and Libby: Did not have a conversation because we couldn't think of anything interesting.

With Alicorn:
Lost Pen and cloudbank!Nick:

Nick: "Excuse me, why are you on my ship?"
Pen: "Am lost."
Nick: "I see. Why are you lost here?"
Pen: "Not know why this world, but, door breaking. Supposed going home!"
Nick: "Are you talking about the stargate?"
Pen: "No?"
Nick: "Assuming you're not confused or lying, it must be magic of some kind, then."
Pen: "Am not lying! Am not neither confused!"
Nick: "If you say so. Can you fly? It will save you some trouble if so."
Pen: "Can fly, of course, being angel."
Nick: *nods* "Of course. Do you have any idea how to get home, little angel?"
Pen: *headshake* "Is no Jane here."
Nick: "Jane could help you get home? Find your door?"
Pen: "Jane doesn't doors, Jane do putting."
Nick: "No doors, no... Putting. No parents. You probably don't even know what's good to eat here, huh?"
Pen: "No?"
Nick: "I don't know where might be a good place for you, except the home you can't go back to. I'm not going to kick a lost child off my ship. If you like and if you promise to try not to break anything, and to try to catch me if I fall, I'll make a bed and feed you and you can stay with me."
Pen: "Okay."

Spaceship!Nick and Pre-stark!Shell Bell:

Nick: "I don't particularly need to take over a world. Do you suppose you can help me negotiate better trade deals?"
Shell Bell: "Maybe! I'm certainly willing to try."
Nick: "Any preferences on the tech you want in return? I don't give out weapons or other dangerous tech on general principle, but there are a few scanners you might be able to use."
Shell Bell: "I could maybe use scanners, sure. Why don't you give out weapons?"
Nick: "Last time I was careless with weapons tech it started a nuclear war."
Shell Bell: "I see."
Nick: "Exactly."
[There follows a long conversation about trade goods, and a scanner and some metal in return]

I haven't talked to Aestrix yet, presumably it will happen sometime tomorrow/this week/never.

[Tamien]

Cricket and Chelsea, because Cricket does not love her

[MaggieoftheOwls]

Cricket and a non-vampire Chelsea, because Cricket reacts the same way to all vampires (even vampire Bells), and I can't imagine vampire Chelsea is likely to react to Cricket in any way other than murder.
Amariah/Pathalan and Dogs narrator, because owl, but sentient, and daemons aren't exactly like animals anyway.
Cricket and Cath
Since I'm almost 100% sure Cath is an Ekaterin, and considering their respective situations, Cath and Ekaterin via some kind of translation such as the input devices provided by the dogs narrator.
Cricket and Dogs Narrator, because Cricket is a cat and will be pissed off at someone assuming otherwise.

If it's relevantly different,

The Shell Bell from the earlier divine discussions with Zenikiel

If Hatice is more of a character than was seen in thread,
Hatice and Zinc

In my head I nicknamed her #blessed!Shell Bell

Did we miss any Pantheonic deities?

[Alicorn]

Chelise: "Hi kitty!"

Cricket: "I have a name."

Chelise: "What is it?"

Cricket: "None of your business."

Chelise: :(

---------

Dogs Narrator: "What is that?"

Amariah: "My daemon?"

Dogs Narrator: "Yes, what species is the mod?"

Amariah: "...My daemon is an Eastern screech owl."

Path: "Gray morph."

Dogs Narrator: "Oh wow! How did you get the mod to include functional vocal apparatus?"

Amariah: "I think we're talking at cross purposes."

------------

Dogs Narrator: "Wow, I bet all that fur is hard to maintain."

Cricket: "Not for a sufficiently vain cat."

Dogs Narrator: "Hee hee."

---------

Sarion: "My nickname was chosen because it means 'elfmage', but yours has no such obvious history."

Promise: "I made myself a promise when I was new. To be - myself. Instead of just any fairy."

Sarion: *nod*
