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.
I got it when you first described it, but I think I get a little more of why that's what you want. I know you all can't say more unless we get to know you more, but I think I'm figuring it out.

Do you ask everyone that, or am I just lucky?

It sounds like you want some kind of new order of some sort.

[she shrugs]
What sorts of gods need to rely on mortals? It's soooo stupid.

So Nonon gets it, but that doesn't mean she likes it. She puts her hands on her hips. ]
You know what? I agree, but we're both stuck like this, aren't we?
