There's many here, goddesses, asuras and sages, and Heroes of old.
If some unmask, and try to come off as ordinary people, do not believe them. They channel. I wander among them, dazed and grateful, following their traces in the gel.
I am a stray madman at a faire, with hungry eyes and not a penny in my pocket. But! Nobody knows that this bundle of rags that I'm clutching is actually jewelled clockwork songbirds in golden cages, with byzantine puzzle locks.
Perhaps someday I'll make friends with her Grace the written word, unlock the cages, and sell the birds.
Then I'll buy silk ribbons and candy, for everyone.
