[The mask is still on, mostly. It's just tilted up somewhat to expose Sincerity's lips, so he can like. Drink.

There's a matching drink across the table from him in the parlor. He gesture for Majima to take it, then holds up his glass.]

Kanpai, Lord Majima!

[haw]

Kanpai, Sincerity-han.

[ somehow, he isn't surprised to see a second drink as he slides into the chair across from serenity. raising his glass, he wears a very confident smile. ]

Ya struck me as the type to like drinks that look an' taste good, not the ones that get ya hammered in five seconds. Hope ya like it.

[divus]

[time to drink!

sincerity downs half the coctail in one go.]

This is pretty tasty.

[haw]

Ya really think I would half-ass an offerin'? Ya wound me, Sincerity-han.

[ he places a hand over his chest, feigning pain. ]

[divus]

Oh, not at all! [he chuckles] But my tastes are different from the others in the temple who drink.

I have to say I'm impressed; you really nailed it.

[haw]

What can I say? I can take one look at ya an' know yer drink. I don't even need to see your face. That's the power of the Lord of the Night.

[divus]

[Sincerity chuckles and takes another long sip of the drink.]

That's quite the power. We really should make you a part of our pantheon.

[haw]

If Indulgence-han could make it, why not me?

[ sorry buddy but like. real talk ]

[divus]

It has to do more with circumstances than anything else. There are some circumstances in this game where someone might ascend, but--

[He pauses, sounding a little surprised by what just came out of his mouth.]

[haw]

. . .

Ya wanna run that by me again?

[divus]

...

[welp]

There are some circumstances in this game where someone might ascend to godhood. [incredulously:] Holy shit.

[haw]

C'mon, ya can't just leave me on a cliffhanger like that.

[divus]

[that



sure is exactly what's happening here because every time sincerity starts to answer he gets silenced before he can get a single syllable out]

[haw]

[ hm. ]

So that's what Senri-kun was talkin' about when he said there are things ya literally can't tell us, huh.

[divus]

Believe me, I'd tell you if I could! I suck at secrets, anyway.

[haw]

Why'd ya sound so surprised? Weren't expectin' to let even that much slip?

[divus]

I'm the god of sincerity. That means anything I say is basically true - and, like, sometimes I end up rambling? And I say things, and I realize for the first time that they're true.

[haw]

Huh.

That's deep.

[ is it ]

[divus]

I know, right?

[no]

[haw]

[ i refuse to continue the thread in this manner because i can't handle that amount of stupid right now ]

Y'know, since we're on the topic of, well, sincerity...

Can I ask who ya are, Sincerity-han?

[divus]

[fair

sincerity chuckles, though, and reaches up to pull away the mask]

Well, since you asked nicely, and we're getting along so well...

Yo, Lord Majima. Nice to meet you.

[haw]

[ YO WTF... HE CUTE... ]

Well, now that I got a face, can I get a name to go along with it?

[divus]

Kuranosuke Koibuchi, God of Sincerity, at your service!

[haw]

[ here comes his familiar bow and taking kuranosuke's hand. ]

It's an honor, my dearest Koibuchi-han.

[divus]

Ooh, I can definitely tell you've broken your share of hearts over the years.

[or has he? i don't fucking know, i haven't played yakuza yet]
