[Fortune doesn't seem all that bothered by the narrowed eye, but then, it's hard to tell behind a full-faced mask.]
Well, we had a world. But the arguments about how to rule it got a little out of hand.
[And now there is... not a world anymore. Yikes.]
We've sworn oaths to accept whatever decision you all come to about which of us will be in charge. I don't think it's the best way of doing it, but it's what we have to deal with now.
[Yeah, at least he's not afraid to show SOME of his face!]
Hmmm, I see. So there's far more at stake for you, then. But with no world to rule over, what is the point if I may ask? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the societal requirements of deities.
[Alex certainly can't argue against the "winner takes all" approach though logic does make that seem a bit weird what the the explanation for why it's necessary.]
Heh, yes, your names do appear to be rather telling. [Says the guy who picked "Arcanus" in the tarot card club.] I have to wonder how "Ruin" would create anything...
So essentially, you've put your fates into our hands?
[look if these gods were competent there wouldn't be a murdergame. they're a mess.]
I've been trying not to think about that. [Fortune says that flatly, because uh, Ruin? Yikes.] ...but yes. Our fates are in your hands. That's why you all are here.
[Fortune says that with absolute certainty, at least. When someone is declared the supreme god of this world, they'll gain all the power that comes with it.]
That depends on what you find valuable. I'm not allowed to speak generally, but if you ask me specific questions, I can answer.
Oh, really? Then I suppose that would depend on the nature of this competition, or at least of this place. I may have to get back to you on that then, if that's all right.

...Suffice it to say that Weyard will be remaining below or above anything that is already there.
[He'll go for Alex 101 and try to change the topic. It always works with those JRPG kids...]
I must admit, I am curious as to why a collection of gods without a world would find it necessary to hold some sort of contest.

[That's what the stakes are, basically.]
I think you can tell just by looking at the names of the other gods that some of them doing that would be a really bad idea.

I see. That being the case, I do hope the victor is able to uphold their end of the bargain...
[Hi I'm Alex and I've apparently been trying to pick a fight with not!god after he pissed me off, that's probably not isolated behavior...]
Is there anything else that might be valuable to know?

[Having a god at his disposal is so satisfying...]
If that's all, should I be going then?
no subject
If you don't have anything to ask, yes.
