The latter. Anyone can refuse to become a deity's Gifted, which is why it's in the best interests of our deities to endear themselves to us. Without us, without the bonds they could fade away into nothing.
Interesting that there isn't a god of vampires. Is it because you and your kind have no need?
Maybe you should find yourself a god or goddess of coffee instead.
How interesting. I think that's generally how it works for gods but it's rarely acknowledged or part of the doctrine. That'd be like letting a prince do all the ruling so long as he kept you happy and that would be downright preposterous.
Maybe it's need. Also something fiddly with the soul probably. And if it's a mutual you make me happy, I'll make you happy, sort of agreement... We generally like to be in charge.
Well, not me any longer. Done with all that. Still ended up promoted first. I think it may have been the sword and also bone instinct.
Actual contracts. There's a copy kept in the Council's palace and everything.
Are you intensely devoted to only one kind, or would you be interested in trying coffee from another world? I found some that I think is just about like what we have in my world. An Asarian blend, I'm pretty sure.
Given the freedom this place has with giving out whatever we can think up, I sincerely doubt that I'll have to go out of my way. More likely some gift will just turn up on my bedside table.

Argument could be made that coffee IS my god.

Coffee WOULD probably make a good god. Very undemanding, very helpful, and preparation can be a rather soothing ritual in the morning.
Or evening.
Whenever it is you make your coffee.

You have no idea on the soothing. And generally I make coffee all the time. Morning, noon, night. Intensely devoted.

My kind of coffee is 'hot' and 'black'. And I'll make exceptions for either out of necessity, or boredom.
In other words, love to try it.
no subject
I'll see what I can find and let you know when I've got it then. Definitely not to be missed.
no subject
Your generosity is appreciated. Given our endless time I'll find some way to, eventually, pay you back.
no subject
And sure, if you like. Don't feel like you have to go out of your way though, alright?
