[And, you know, he'd make a Sympathy for the Devil joke here but Dee is lame and wouldn't get it and he can't even explain it to him!! Stoopid world with no rock!!!]
And yet, sympathy might be what will allow us to understand her situation.
You're exactly right. To put it simply, she's a chessmaster. My favorite old lil' nickname for her. Even from the beginning, she referred to us as chess pieces, and what hubris does she need to hide when she's right? We're pawns for her to use against Atropos. Vulcanus was- probably still is- Atropos' pieces. And as distasteful as it is, we're all in this together. We have little to gain and a lot to lose by not simply cooperating with her.
And if that means we sit here and twiddle our thumbs for however long the Porter keeps us, waiting to be useful to a goddess with no concept of mortal time? That's what it means. Keep yourself busy, enjoy the new life you make yourself in the meantime. Portal worlds are just a daytrip, I've said it before and I'll say it again. We all go home eventually.
