It's possible one of us could vouch for another, but it's still a competition, Fabre-kun. As much as I'd like to help the others, and as much as I like several of the others, we still have to play on our own.
In a sense, yes, though we can make bribes and offers to participants to encourage them to defect to one god or another. But for other things it's a bit trickier, especially when we each have our own powers and abilities to offer.
I've thought about it. It's easier here to snap my fingers and have whatever I want in my grasp, but there's something to be said about doing things on our own, isn't there? [It's unfortunate that Beauty will answer literally everything.]
[there was probably some other reason you go and talk to gods, but whatever it is, Luke seems more interested in debating the intricacies of...home-made baked goods.]
Yeah, I mean, can you really call yourself a god if you can't even make cookies?
I never really thought of that before. Shouldn't a god have a handle on their power rather than focusing on cookies? But then again cookies can't be too hard. Can they?
I mean, if you're really going to understand your power to just... magic cookies into being, shouldn't you know how to do it the old fashioned way, too? You guys are immortal, right?
[he adds on, flippantly:] Besides, cookies are super easy. Just some... [what the hell goes in a cookie?????] ...sugar and stuff.
[He just leans forward to stare at Luke before pointing his index finger in his face.]
Then it's settled! Before your departure, I'd like to request that you bake a dozen cookies and hand them out to other participants of this game. They may be consumed, or they may be used as offerings to me.

Is it against the rules for the gods to help each other? I guess it would be, huh?

This might be a weird question, but can you actually eat any of this?
[He indicates the tea spread.]
You know. As a god.

Something in his expression seems to be demanding "prove it", but to his credit, he changes the subject again.]
Did you make them yourself, or just summon them? Did you have, uh, the ability to cook when you weren't a god?
no subject
Summoned! I've never really learned to cook as a mortal, though I was starting to learn before the ascension.

I never said I love baking or anything! Just that they're not that hard!
[natalia made some once. therefor, it cannot be that hard.
even if she did mess it up.
bad.
massively, actually. they'd nearly killed everyone.
but she did make them once, and that was the whole point.]

[Sorry Luke.]
no subject
Uh... yeah!
Sure!
Easy!
[he didn't say how delicious they had to be]
no subject
I look forward to the results then.
no subject
Y-Yeah, right.
I'll have to... [what? think!!] ...do some research on what kind I should make, first, so... it might take a little time, okay?
no subject
Take as much time as you'd like. Consider it a personal project. [Do it, Luke.]
no subject
[And before this can go any further, he's sliding out of his seat immediately.]
Right, uh, now, actually. I'm gonna go get started. Lots of stuff to read.
