GODLY AUDIENCES: NONON JAKUZURE

[divus]

Comments

[divus]

[Thanks Nonon.] Things will change with time, Jakuzure-san, believe me. But I hope they'll be a good change despite where the numbers may fall. Your patron and I have a bit of an alliance, if you will. She'll look after my own and likewise for myself.

[Until they get competitive, but that's a whole other story.] Same for Sincerity.

[symphonise]

I won't forget that this is a competition.

[ One with the potential for death, for a lot of death, but it's easier to talk of it like it's gossip and like she's not taking it seriously even though she is. ]

But it's nice to know I don't have to be quite as wary with you and can play music with you a bit more freely— until when that time comes.

[ She's still wary. ]

[divus]

As you shouldn't. But there are still several ways to play if you know how to strategize. You seem quite capable. [Nevertheless they lean back again.]

And in that time I hope we learn more about each other. Not to mention the room is yours to play even if I'm not here.

[symphonise]

I'm more used to playing a long game, so I'm having to readjust my thinking.

[ It's good to have explicit permission, not that she'd care if she didn't get cursed, but... ]

How often are you here?

[divus]

You don't think six weeks is long? [That's interesting. Also Ara why is there an alligator snout in that icon please explain.]

I'm here more often than not even if people are unaware. Not to mention it's my domain, so I have a good understand of who is and isn't here.

[symphonise]

Some plans take years to set into motion.

[ it's a stuffed animal!! she has many. ]

So nothing that happens in here is a secret to you.

[divus]

Did you anticipate something like this coming into fruition before your plans did? [A mild question. Also what the hell that's cute as shit.]

Nothing that happens in here is a secret unless another god chooses to enter my domain with a participant...otherwise, I'm aware.

[symphonise]

No. I expected something entirely different, but if this gives me the opportunity I want... then it's fine.

[ Her determination laces her voice and burns bright in her eyes. ]

That's good to know. Thank you. Is that the same for every other god?

[ She's assuming yes, but it never hurts to know for sure. ]

[divus]

Using a situation like this to your advantage isn't a bad thing. It's actually rather smart. Admirable, if you will.

But yes that's correct. Some of us check in more than others, but we are capable of knowing and seeing around the temple at will.

[symphonise]

[ She thinks about that for a long moment before nodding. ]

That makes sense. Thank you again for answering my questions. [ Somehow, Beauty is the more straightforward than she thought they'd be...? Wild. ]

I think I've taken up enough of your time today. I'll come back to you once I can play music again.

[divus]

I'd like that very much. [Beauty can be useful sometimes, like, 20% of the time.] Until next time then.
