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.]

[divus]

...

[right.]

Anyway, I'll be expecting you to make the right choice.

[psynergy]

[I hate that he didn't not go with you.]

It isn't a decision I'll be making lightly, I'll say that much.

[divus]

[look she's objectively the best choice

or so she thinks]

It shouldn't be. This is important, even if those idiots treat it like it's not.

[psynergy]

So I've gathered. It's interesting that you've chosen to leave the fate of your world in the hands of people who have no stake in it.

[i.e. I don't care, just ensure I get all the Golden Sun and smash the rock guy.]

[divus]

The others said it would make them unbiased enough to make the best choice. [Eyerolling..] I don't think I agree.

[psynergy]

I can't say I do, either. Particularly with the level of involvement you've all been taking in this. But this isn't my game...

[divus]

Oh? How would you run it?

[psynergy]

Honestly, it wouldn't have even come to this if I were in that position. But why dwell on the purely hypothetical?

[divus]

...

[Ambition will remember that.]

Hmph. Well, if that's all... just think about what I said today.

[psynergy]

[Either Alex gets what he wants, or he gets what he wants because he didn't get what he wanted. Your choice, really.]

Of course. I'd certainly be remiss to brush that aside.

[divus]

[you say that, meta text, but at the end of the day ambition gets +1 follower so who's really getting what they want here.]

Good.

[And when he next blinks, she's gone!]

[psynergy]

[Fuck you, if the others had better powers he totally would have picked one of them.

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