[You know that's fair, Beauty can't even discount that.]
Close, though I imagine it would look equally lovely on yourself. [Just saying.] Unfortunately due to divinity rules I can't be seen in anything but this. I'll treasure it always.
[But anyway, with that said, their attitude seems to shift to something more calm and collected.] Mizuki-san's wonderful, aren't they? No doubt it's easy to see why I selected them.
[Someone thinks very highly of their follower...even if Mizuki is actually a big bully.]
...it's cold. [That's it, that's the answer.] I can wear a jacket over this, but trying to put a shirt on over everything seems very silly, doesn't it? But your efforts are well-met.
True enough. [Majima sure did make some kind of impression, but it's fine. Now that they're standing, Beauty begins to walk forward away from the snow angel to leave it in peace. Come along, Majima.]
They're correct, yes. I never have been in support of the idea and I've explained myself to others before. It's needlessly violent and a coward's way out.
Because the prize at the end is something I want. Just because I've agreed to play doesn't mean I have to play the way some of the others want me to. But if there's a chance to become the head of the pantheon as deserved, I'll earn it in the best way possible.
That's still generous from Majima-san. [Nodnodnod.] Though I'm not sure Mizuki-san truly believes me, I'd like to do my best to prove that I have plans.
They made it pretty damn clear to me that the last thing they want is for this bloodbath to keep goin', so I'm inclined to think they believe in ya and your philosophy enough to stick with ya. Besides, they've had time to switch if they were havin' second thoughts, haven't they?
I had the same thought, but I have a feeling I'm not the only one who isn't wearing a mask. I believe they know more about me than I really know about them. That's alright though.
[There's a curious tilt of the head.] What about you, Majima-san? Are you or or against the killing this game's brought?
Ya might not believe me, but I ain't the kind of person who's down with murder. The only time I'd even consider endin' someone's life is if they were already dyin' and I got to give 'em an easy or honorable end.
[ his voice drops and he comes to a sudden halt. ]
Otherwise... not even the scum off the bottom of my shoe deserves to have me be the very last image burned into its mind for all of eternity before it dies.
[He says, while Andie uses an icon of Majima pointing a gun at someone else. That's a very interesting, not to mention specific, answer though and Beauty folds their arms over their chest as they consider this.]
Why wouldn't I believe you? Is it because you were yakuza? [A genuinely curious question, but they move on.] An excellent answer, however. The less murderers in this game the better chance we stand at a limited amount of casualties.
[Like. No thank you.] Am I right to assume you've spoken to your patron about this as well? [Indulgence is...a strange choice when it comes to things like these.]
[ look it was the icon with the most conviction i could think of and also knowing the context behind this scene, where he has a gun and is given ample time to shoot but actively chooses not to, is very important to me send tag ]
Ya wouldn't be the first to think so. Haven't got a damn clue why people would think anythin' like that about me. [ ha ha. he's a natural comedian. ]
But yeah, we've discussed it a lil'. Not sure if we see completely eye to eye on everythin', but... I don't think it's somethin' I gotta worry about just yet. Gotta play the long game, ya know?
Appearances can be rather deceiving, it's true. [Hum. They seem to be taking this seriously, too.] Then again, our first killer was a ninja...but you brought a karaoke machine?
[Ponder, ponder...]
I completely understand, however. I myself plan to play the long game as well and it's why I find that making connections and reaching you all directly is the most important strategy of all. Mizuki-san may find my methods silly, I think, but in the end people will align themselves with someone they know. I would rather be as open with everyone as I can be.
It can go either way, but if we truly wish to speak to any of you we're allowed to manifest, so to speak. Some of us do. I preferred doing it my way by extending an invitation to anyone who wished to follow through.
Despite the fact that some of the gods can be...cruel, actually, I still find it wise to speak to all of them at least once or twice to understand the extent of this game.
Myself specifically? Yes, I suppose that's true. [He's just going to start walking off again.] We're all in the same situation and though it's a competition I feel we should all have a fair chance at first before you make a final decision.

Gettin' back to Ioti-han... they were tellin' me that you aren't exactly down with the whole murder aspect of all'a this. Is that right?

They're correct, yes. I never have been in support of the idea and I've explained myself to others before. It's needlessly violent and a coward's way out.

So why'd ya agree to play anyway?

I respect the hell outta that reasonin'. Not enough to sway me off'a Indulgence-han's team, no offense, but I don't wanna see ya lose, either.
