They become much more vulnerable. [There is something almost vicious about Ambition's voice here. Yikes.] You'll see exactly how vulnerable if you leave that god of yours.
Next week will be... interesting. People have been asking and asking what happens if someone drops down to zero, and now they'll see it for themselves.
[He still hasn't said he's switching to you, he is so talking to other gods first at least.]
Have they now? Hmm, despite what they say, I thought these people were more worried about their own rewards than anything else. And really, this is just about the numbers...
It's always been a numbers game. We even promised to bring everyone back at the end of it, but they're soooo convinced this is the worst thing ever. Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.
They're not going to get their prizes if they don't play.
That's the only reason I agreed, honestly. I wouldn't risk my life for added insurance. I can't say I have much respect for those who enjoy unnecessary bloodshed, but that doesn't make one a needless presence...
[He'll only ditch you before you've served your purpose if you nearly kill Mia, okay.]
Completely. A machine can't complete its task if all its parts aren't working.
[...making people do things so he doesn't get in trouble totally counts as working, okay. Because if he didn't make them do it, it wouldn't get done! So he's totally earned what he's gotten.]

This point of the benefits of switching sides does make me wonder, however: what happens when a god has no followers?
no subject
You might even find it a good... opportunity.
no subject
Interesting... I do look forward to finding out, then.

There's a reason for everything. So? That means you're going to play, right?
no subject
As much as is necessary to win, yes.

[right.]
Anyway, I'll be expecting you to make the right choice.
no subject
It isn't a decision I'll be making lightly, I'll say that much.

or so she thinks]
It shouldn't be. This is important, even if those idiots treat it like it's not.

[Ambition will remember that.]
Hmph. Well, if that's all... just think about what I said today.
no subject
Of course. I'd certainly be remiss to brush that aside.
no subject
Good.
[And when he next blinks, she's gone!]

...Well, Ruin was close but she doesn't have as many followers.]
