GODLY AUDIENCES: ALEX

[psynergy]

I suppose it's only happenstance for me in the long run?

[divus]

We'll have to wait and see, won't we? Maybe you'll get lucky again.

[psynergy]

[If he had any idea what that misfortune he avoided was, he'd so have a case for this being worth something...]

Heh, that is the way of luck, isn't it?

Oh yes, I heard people speaking about acting on behalf of a god during that trial. Might that be something to expect?

[Good luck for that ever being him though.]

[divus]

I'm not going to ask you to kill for me, if that's what you mean.

[but she

probably wouldn't stop him if he decided to







she knows he won't though, since alex doesn't do the whole getting his hands dirty thing]

[psynergy]

Well, that would likely be a wasted effort.

[At least he's honest?]

I was more curious about the motivations of my fellow competitors. I would greatly dislike for an unforeseen circumstance to get in the way of victory...

[divus]

You should expect someone to do something like that every week. [Fortune sounds very frustrated by that.] That's how it's going to go. The other gods made sure of it, before all of this started.

[psynergy]

Hmm, I suppose I can see why one might come to that conclusion in a game of numbers. Seems a bit too risky for my preference, honestly.

And if they can't convince someone to finish off another?

[divus]

...from the sound of it, no one has had to do any convincing so far. You all decided to act on your own.

[psynergy]

But not necessarily on a killing to risk elimination in the contest. Surely there's a contingency plan?

[divus]

[there's one on an ooc basis, but]

This entire contest is decided by all of your actions. We can't force you all to do anything. All we can do is ask.

[psynergy]

[Alex wants to know all the ooc things too of course.]

I suppose that's reassuring. Particularly for anyone who should be defecting from a faction.

[divus]

[dryly-]

There wouldn't be any point in allowing the possibility of defecting if only a few of you were able to do it.

[psynergy]

And those with less foresight won't have to concern themselves with immediate retribution.

...Although, in a game where numbers matter, I suspect you'd prefer to keep the losses to a minimum in case someone rethinks their decision.

[He means "you" as in all the gods, you suck English.]

[divus]

I can't speak for any of the others, but I know I'm playing to try and keep this as bloodless as possible.

[Muttering:]

I voted against it being like this.

[psynergy]

That's fair. Funny though, you obviously couldn't decide a leader by election, but when arranging a game to do so, you made the rules by vote...

[divus]

...

[just. stares at him.]

[psynergy]

[Like he wasn't going to think he was better than all you gods, come on. And this is before he realizes what's under the masks may be worthwhile information.]

I'm merely describing the situation as I see it. Obviously it speaks more of the majority than anything else.

[divus]

It's a broken system. Gods aren't supposed to be making decision by using other people's lives.

[guess who's REAL MAD ABOUT THIS WHOLE SETUP





it's fortune.]

[psynergy]

[If only you could have read the other gods' minds.....]

But any fatalities will be made void later, correct?

[divus]

Of course they will.

[it wasn't okay when the wise one did it and it's still not okay now but hERE THEY ARE ANYWAY.]

[psynergy]

[He just doesn't want to die, thanks. And nothing the Wise One has done has EVER BEEN OKAY.........]

Then I could see how some of them might be viewing it as though lives aren't being spent. I do wonder what other options you considered, though...

[divus]

Keep wondering. You'll get your answers soon enough.

[and also this thread is w1 i'm not backdating info that didn't start circulating until w2/w3...]

[psynergy]

[Okay, he has to chuckle because that is such a him answer.]

Fair enough. Then I look forward to it.

[divus]

Hmm...

[Well, she gets it.]

Unless you have any other questions for me, you should probably go.

[psynergy]

[Check on the power, indirectly see if he can get anything else right now... Yeah, that was the brunt of why he'd called her.] All right, then. I'm sure I'll be seeing you later. [Leaves.]
