[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.

[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.
