"09 Jalo is depressed" by J. Post (Rosesred)

Jalo is depressed today. Jalo was also depressed yesterday. Jalo has been depressed for a few decades now. The little pink birds on his back are really happy with Jalo. As a matter of fact, little pink fuzzy birds are happy with everything. However, they’re particularly happy with Jalo.  Since he’s a God, it’s pretty difficult for big, scary little-fuzzy-and-cute-pink-bird-eating-monsters to eat the birds on Jalo’s back. This is a very good thing if you are such a bird.

Jalo never really had a choice in the matter. As long as the little pink birds keep believing in him, he’s doomed to be a Big Scary Protection God for little fluffy pink birds. Works really well according to the birds: A moving tree that’s always warm and as a bonus there’s always someone around to annoy with really happy and cheerful pink bird songs! How much better can life get?

Jalo isn’t really fond of the birds, but well: he is their god. And he probably could learn to like the birds, he might realize that they are nice company. It’s just going take him 300 pages of an average story to figure that homely morale out. Chasing birds away when you can’t really reach your back is problematic, so why try? Adding to that: the birds are cute, and fuzzy and pink, even if you’re a God, what can you do against that amount of overwhelming cute- and happiness?
