GODLY AUDIENCES: ALEX

Comments

[psynergy]

[And he's incredulous at her being incredulous.]

Yes. Is there a problem with that?

[divus]

You must have a reputation as a real jerk for people to think it's not true back where you came from, is all.

[psynergy]

Heh. I can't speak for my own reputation with others of course, but I certainly don't go out of my way to make friends.

[divus]

[alex is the "i'm not here to make friends" meme]

Yeah, that's pretty obvious. And, like, that's working out for you. No one's exactly defending you, but no one really knows you well enough to want you dead, either.

[psynergy]

[that's a meme? I'm that out of the loop with the world okay. But yeah, hoping the "no one would care if he was murdered" thing keeps people from going after him ah ha ha.]

I'm quite all right with that. Particularly if this is what it takes to get what I'm owed.

[divus]

What you're "owed"?

[psynergy]

[So Sheba either didn't run around telling his life story or she's playing dumb. Noted.]

In my world. It's why I'm bothering with your problems to begin with. I know what I need to do, but I'd like additional assurance no one will get in my way this time.

[...Admittedly, I assume he knows exactly what he needs to do. I'm sorry if we actually get GS4 and I made you lie.]

[divus]

[sheba isn't a blabbermouth, thanks alex]

Hm. That makes sense.

[psynergy]

[Neither is Mia, didn't stop her from instilling a deep, detailed hatred of him in her children.]

Precisely. So I certainly don't mind paying little heed to these useless insects if it means I remain in the best position to insure victory.

[divus]

Wow, you really don't like them.

[psynergy]

While that's not entirely untrue in some cases, I think it's more accurate to say I see no benefit in paying them any heed.

[divus]

[she shrugs]

If you say so. I can't tell you to change how you're doing this. And, like, you're not wrong. Some of them are totally dumb.

[psynergy]

[I can, but it's already week fucking 6... weeps]

Unfortunately. And it seems as though the vast majority with any semblance of knowledge don't know how to utilize it productively.

[divus]

Or maybe they just have a different way of utilizing it than you.

[psynergy]

Perhaps. I've yet to see any evidence that there's any difference between that explanation and my own, however.

[divus]

[she just shrugs]

I'm not going to bother trying to change your mind.

[psynergy]

Did you think you needed to?

[divus]

If it was earlier in the competition, maybe. There isn't much point now.

[psynergy]

All right.

[Apologies OOCly for everything forever.]

On that note, though, how should I consider the use of my power with potentially the final week approaching?

[divus]

Hmm... well. We'll have the final week, and then the victor will be decided on the Monday after the last trial. There will be one last chance for everyone to defect, so make sure you don't get anyone now that you might want to get later.

[psynergy]

"Get" in what sense?

[divus]

Use your power on them, of course. What other sense is there?

[psynergy]

So you can't use your power on the same person in succession?

[divus]

...uh, yes? It said so on the slab the powers were all engraved on.

[psynergy]

[...Let's pretend he's not infected with my memory.....]

All right, then. I'll keep that in mind.

[DON'T LOOK AT ME... /)_(\]
