Both! I want to hear about both.

[divus]

We'll start with from my world, then. [...] Where I come from, superheroes are real. The best of them all is my favorite person. She always knows just what to do, and fixes all of the messes an utterly ridiculous supervillain keeps making in our city.

[symphonise]

[ Nonon keeps her attention on Ambition's nails, but she's listening. ]

Oh? What kind of superhero is she? What are her powers?

[divus]

[oof, fucked up that html]

She can create anything and restore things back to just they way they were before the villain started doing things. One time the entire city got flooded and anyone who couldn't get onto the rooftops... [well. they were probably super dead.] You can guess. ...but once she was done, everyone was just fine.

[symphonise]

Wow. That sounds incredible. Who else do you like?

[divus]

There's a boy in my class. I've been his best friend for ages, since we were little kids - he's a famous model, and he absolutely adores me.

[symphonise]

[

Nonon nods. ]

He sounds great.

[ She sounds like she totally believes Ambition. Totally. ]

What about people here? Outside of Cunning and Disorder, I mean?

[divus]

...

Piety isn't so bad.

[symphonise]

Oh, I heard about your date. Did you have fun with him?

[divus]

It's not like I had a terrible time.

[yes. she had fun.]

[symphonise]

You had a good time.

[ She knows tsun when she hears it. ]

What about non-gods? Who are your favorites here?

[divus]

Well, I guess--

[wait.]

Hold on, I'm not telling you who my followers are!

[symphonise]

[ She laughs. ]

If you just gave me names, would I have known who they were? Maybe you don't even like your followers all that much.

[divus]

If I didn't like them they wouldn't be my followers anymore.

[see:

her totally disowning rachel publicly in that one trial]

[symphonise]

[ That was hilarious, but she won't say that out loud. ]

Then, is there anyone you want to become your follower?

[divus]

Yes, but I can't name them. That'd be confirming they're not mine right now, and we're not supposed to help you figure out alignments.

[symphonise]

[ Nonon's done painting Ambition's nails, and once she's satisfied by her work, she nods and lets go. ]

And what kind of help do you like to give? I know you give hints, but why is that your thing?

[divus]

[she pulls her hands back and examines the paint job. hmm. not bad. she's not complaining about it, so nonon must have done a good job]

Because it's stupid that there are so many things we can't tell you. We're trusting you guys with a decision about who gets to be in charge of our world, but we have to keep secrets from you? It's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. I've always been good at getting what I want - it's in my name - so even though we're all bound, I'm still able to give out hints.

[that and she just

never learned how to shut the fuck up]

[symphonise]

[ Every time a god tells her how much they think the own system they set up is stupid, Nonon dies a little more inside. ]

Yeah, it really is stupid, isn't it? It really makes me wonder. Would you be open with everyone if you were allowed? Or just your followers?

[divus]

My followers would get first dibs on anything I know because they're my followers, duh. But I wouldn't just withhold information from anyone else who asked unless they were a total jerk.
