"It was the early days of life on earth," Thoth said, beginning his explanation of Yaya's crimes, "and in the vast Creation Chambers, my fellow gods were hard at work playing around with their constructs.

"This australopithecus thing is unsightly, it needs its fur removed!" mused Aphrodite from her station, stretched upon a sunbed.

"Dammit! I worked so hard on Yonaguni!" Izanagi yelled, slamming his fist on the blueprints for Kyushu.

"Maybe we should make the year a bit longer." I thought to myself from the next booth over.

These and many other voices filled the grand hall, until three mighty steps silenced the entire cacophony. As their sound rang out, a mighty procession of Taino gods spilled out into the hallway, organising themselves into 2 lines facing each other, and bowing as their leader strode down the path between them. Yaya had arrived— and he wished to make his presence known.

"Greetings My compatriots," he proclaimed, "I have come to you with a proposal

"Greetings My compatriots," he proclaimed, "I have come to you with a proposal."

Upon hearing this, every god in the hall turned to face the mighty lord.

"Wait, wait, hold the phone," Crowley said. "I thought... Yaya was banned from everywhere?"

"Not at this time." Thoth replied, "In fact, he was a chief god! Anyways, back to the story...

"For years we have been designing islands and species for little more than our own amusement," Yaya continued, "But not once have we created something with a sense of permanence. And I believe this must be rectified. I propose that we create and sculpt a vast planet, with every species designed to the cell, every desert to the dust, and every forest to its leaf."

"Yeah," said one of the many gods listening to Yaya. "But what then?"

"It is simple." Yaya explained as he picked up a lumpy and unfinished clay model of a human. "We shall freeze our creation in time. It shall stay in its perfect and divinely decided state for all eternity. It will be a testament to divine might that every young god shall know as proof that our kind reign supreme!" He then put the clay man down, which he had remodelled into a figure of unparalleled beauty.

After a brief period of silence, the room gradually became filled with debates.

"Yaya's right! Creating a perfect world will be the ultimate symbol of our power!"

"Are you kidding me? I don't want to be stuck as the worm guy!"

"Surely we can have both?"

And as the schism gradually spread throughout Valhalla, Yaya simply laughed.

"Is that it?" Crowley asked, eager to return to the battle.

"I wish it was." Thoth drawled, briefly shuddering. "So, as I was saying, eventually Yaya's proposal became so contested that the divine council decided to put it to a vote."
