divus | GODLY AUDIENCES: GORO MAJIMA

...

[welp]

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

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

[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]

[ hm. ]

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

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

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

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.

Huh.

That's deep.

[ is it ]

I know, right?

[no]

[ 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?

[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.

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

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

Kuranosuke Koibuchi, God of Sincerity, at your service!

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

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

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]

Haw? What's that supposed to mean?

[ im gonna be real with you, the only heart that gets broken is his ]

Where I come from, girls would swoon all over you, and then pine from afar when they realized that the Lord of the Night couldn't belong to any one woman.

[the 80s were a different time apparently]

Ah—but ain't that just the life of a host? People don't come to cabaret clubs expectin' to leave with the love of their life. They come for good drinks, good company, an' a good time. They fall in love with the idea, not the person.

[ this sounds real deep to me rn but im sure once i reread this in normal people hours its gonna sound dumb as shit ]

I don't really spend much time around hosts myself, but yeah, that sounds about right.

. . .

Look at me, gettin' all weirdly sentimental when we're supposed to be enjoyin' a couple of drinks. [ he laughs, then raises his drink again. ] So what's your story, Koibuchi-han? How'd ya become the god of honesty an' integrity an' whatever other words ya can use instead of sincerity?

Well, I've always been into doing my own thing, no matter what anyone else thinks. I guess this is an extension of that.

To be honest, I don't really get how the whole god thing happened, but... here we are.

Been hearin' that a lot from all of ya. So ya just... showed up here, already ascended?

Something like that. We were there, and then we were here.

An' it can apparently happen to us, too?

[ he keeps his eye closely trained on kuranosuke's reaction... especially if it's another situation where he can't respond. ]

It's not impossible.

[this is a fact that he finds vaguely horrifying, if the look on his face is any indication]
