[The question makes his hackles raise. Probably because it's not far from the truth?]
Don't give me that. It isn't cruel. Justice is his own god. He can make decisions himself. He's willing to try and listen to others, and he's already shown us he can take initiative.
Unlike the rest of us, whom you haven't even given a chance? [This is now just fascinating, please continue.] I don't disagree that Justice can make decisions himself and that he can take initiative, but I disagree that burning down everyone else is the best solution.
What he wants is... naive without guidance. He doesn’t want to be a tyrant. He doesn’t want anyone to suffer. Noble but difficult to obtain. But it’s the goal I’m looking for in the end.
Thank you. [Beauty leans back in their seat.] ...Justice isn't the only one who wants a peaceful world. Is that impression you've received from others?
From some of them. [It's not necessarily given with impatience, more confusion:] Your point? Wait-- [A bit of curious recognition blooms over his face, and his arms lower slowly.]
What happens if two or more of you tie with followers when time is up?
[What a fascinating question! Beauty pauses, also surprised, but there's an answer.]
If there's a tie...the game's extended by a week, but only the tied gods are playing during that time. From there, it's up to the players to choose who they'll follow. The tally at the end of that week will determine the head of the pantheon.
Most likely that, yes. We were all new to the idea of being gods and having a pantheon that we assumed all of our ideas were better than everyone else's. It's been difficult getting all twelve of us to agree on anything.
Recently, and as for the why or if there were gods before us I really don't know. You can ask the others, but none of us really know. It just sort of happened once we accepted the offer.
[There's a light laugh though.] No one has called you stupid, Uchiiha-kun. Not amongst ourselves, anyway.
[Who knows what the participants are saying by now.]
No. At least not while we're like this. [While they have their powers and aren't vulnerable, they mean.] With time you'll receive answers, but I understand that this must be frustrating for you.
[It's not said unkindly, just sort of thinking it over.] You've been trying very hard within the means you've been given. Though the methods aren't the best and I believe there's much to be learned...your efforts should be recognized, at least.
And for good reason. You don't actually know me. [Shrug.] Likewise, I don't know you outside of what I can see for myself and what others have said about you. My opinion still stands.

I’ve asked the ones I’ve spoken to so far. There’s a few others left. Are you trying to change my mind?

I don't agree with the idea of co-ruling personally... but some are wondering why none of you co-rule a world with some of all of yourselves in it.

What happened before? You said you were new to being gods. When did it happen? Why? Were there gods before you?
I'm not stupid. I know even the "best" of you aren't giving us the whole story.

Spare me. [He knows. Everyone thinks he’s a moron. It’s FINE.] If we create new rules with the ability that allows us, can they affect you, too?

Don’t patronize me. [He knows he is going to get the “I wasn’t” schpiel.] Senri might trust you, but I don’t.
