[Nonon will find Sincerity sitting among a pile of scarves in the costume hall. They're comparing the half-finished scarf to some of the ones in the pile, and when Nonon walks in, they wave her over.]
Hey! Did you make this yourself? It's super cute - I totally would have bought, like, five of them if they were in stores.
[ She walks over as beckoned, and she shakes her head. Her hands are clasped behind her back. It doesn't show on her face, but she's glad Sincerity likes it. ]
No, I found it and thought it was meant for you. I was talking to someone, and she said she was making an offering, but she couldn't finish it.
[Yeah. This is definitely a punch to the gut. Sincerity lays a hand over the scarf - it should be finished by Shiki, not by anyone else. It would definitely be possible for the god to finish it, but...]
...when we bring her back, I'll see if she still wants to knit.
Is it how any of us thought it was going to be? [ She knew there were implications of it but even as extra as she is... the state of the bar.... ] How did you want it to be?
I thought it was going to be a numbers game. You know - you guys swapping around if you wanted to try out our powers or get to know us a little better.
And if anyone was going to... do something, I didn't expect the first one to be one of Love's.
That would be a very innocent and sweet game. You're optimistic, aren't you?
[ Is that what comes with being Sincerity? ]
Yeah, me too, especially since they're against something like that, but people really are willing to do a lot for love... or out of love or whatever they think love is.

No, I found it and thought it was meant for you. I was talking to someone, and she said she was making an offering, but she couldn't finish it.
[ She hopes it's what Shiki would've wanted. ]
no subject
Sincerity practically wilts at that... that's depressing.]
...Shiki-chan, you mean?
no subject
She closes her eyes and nods. ]
I wanted it to get to you. It wouldn't be right if anyone other than she completed it. She might be aghast that I gave it to you in that state, but...
[ Well. ]
no subject

no subject
[ It's what Nonon liked about her. It's probably why Shiki chose Ambition before she realized they wouldn't get along. ]
... I didn't mean to offer it to depress you. I wanted to honor her and didn't know how else.
[ Shiki didn't deserve to be burned like that. ]
no subject
[Sincerity sighs.]
It's just impossible not to be depressed by this. It's not how I thought this was going to start out, you know?
no subject
[ She's curious. ]
no subject
And if anyone was going to... do something, I didn't expect the first one to be one of Love's.

no subject
[HEAVY SIGH.]
Who'd have thought?
no subject
[ ... ]
Will you be okay if it does?
no subject
[Sincerity shrugs.]
We'll all have to get through it. What else can we do?
no subject
[ Inquiring minds want to know! ]
no subject
[Sincerity sighs.]
You all agreed to participate on our behalf, and we're bound by the oaths we swore. The only way out of this is through it.
no subject
She huffs and decides to change the subject, waving at the scarves and at the costume hall at large. ]
Are you into fashion or costumes or...?
no subject
[This is an easier topic.]
The sky's the limit when it comes to fashion. You can express yourself any way you want, with any kind of clothing.
no subject
Exactly! Any way we can express ourselves, we should take it. If your fashion can make you fly high in the sky, it's even better.
no subject
[Sincerity can appreciate that.]
You've got some unique style, yourself. I'd love to see what you came up with if you went wild in here.
no subject
We're not here to test that. [ It's said in an obviously mocking tone. ] How lame is that?
no subject
[you can practically hear the eyeroll in sncerity's voice]
Well, if you ever have some downtime while we're here, come by and play dress-up. The world is your oyster... or at least the costume hall is, anyway.
no subject
[ She's just as judgmental about it. ]
I will! Thank you. Can I come see you again, too?
no subject
[shudders delicately at the thought of ugly school uniforms]
Sure you can! I love getting visitors.
no subject
[ She's not going to bring back up that she offered something depressing before she goes away. ]
I should let you be now. I'll see you later!
