[ Nonon isn't really into dank and damp, but she is into creepy and eerie. Despite that, she looks unfazed, walking into the dungeon like it's the parlor.
She grins. ]
It does. ♥ [ i hate that she has to match hearts for hearts. ] I should have made more, so you could've created a whole scene.
That wouldn't be a game at all, just a poll. [ She clasps her hands behind her back. ] I was curious if there couldn't be any situation that it'd be less than that.
It is only a few more weeks, isn't it? [ But at times, it feels like forever or too short of a time. ] Still, you all decided to have this competition...
I'm not going to give you a bunch of long, touchy-feely nonsense about how I'm going to make a world where everyone will be happy or a world where nobody ever suffers. I don't care about the form of the world, I care about the function of it.
[She puts her hands on her hips.]
I think we can both agree that something lasting for a long time is wonderful. But should it last forever? No, of course not. Sometimes things have to be destroyed in order for new things to spring up in their place.
I'll give a place for everything on my world, but it won't outstay its welcome. When the time is right, the old will move on to make room for the new.
I can. That's more... pragmatic than I thought. [ Is pragmatic the right word? It's the only one she's got right now. ] Not all life lasts, and some things just shouldn't.
We are. Which is so silly, when you think about it. We could have just decided this among the gods.
[Ruin heaves a heavy sigh.]
They started insisting we bring in all of you to decide for us, and I didn't want that. So I said it should be a fight to the death on your parts, and I thought that since we had so many goodie-goodies in our pantheon, they'd give up on that idea if they thought death was on the line.
Not enough were goody two-shoes, and then you had to have Patience break the tie. It's too bad it didn't go the way you wanted it to.
[ Nonon knows she agreed to come here, that there was always a chance of danger, but it's not quite how she expected it. That difference is what makes her say that now. ]
Honestly, everyone who suggested using all of you to decide for us should have been taken out of the running. What kind of leader makes other people choose for them? It's so pathetic.

WEEK 3
when she walks in, Ruin has one of the cells unlocked, with its door wide open. She's... pinning the origami butterfly to the wall. Decoration?]
This really brightens up the place, don't you think? ♡

What's something you really want to destroy?

[She hums, thinking about that.]
Do you ask everyone that, or am I just lucky?
no subject
It sounds like you want some kind of new order of some sort.
no subject
[she shrugs]
What sorts of gods need to rely on mortals? It's soooo stupid.

You know what? I agree, but we're both stuck like this, aren't we?
