[ for some reason, that makes her laugh ]
Sorry~ Am I the last one to show up for a meeting? You know what they say about saving the best for last.
[ her being an asshole aside, she does finally greet ambition with the traditional horde greeting, if only to show Some respect ]
I was observing the competition.

[Ambition bristles at that, but seems appeased at the greeting. Some respect is better than none.]
It shouldn't be hard for us to take them out. Some of them are clinging to the utterly ridiculous idea that nobody is going to get hurt.
[Perhaps a little viciously -]
That makes them easy targets.

[ ah, she knew she picked the right god. Her tail sways behind her slowly, pleased. ]
No kidding. The number of them that aligned with Love alone was enough to make me want to vomit. [ love doesn't win @adora ] I'm obviously willing to do whatever you need to win.
That aside... She's been too all over the place for us to talk longer than five minutes, but I can assure you, if Entrapta isn't among your numbers [ and, knowing entrapta, she probably isn't ], she will be by the end of the week.

[This would be the part where Ambition smiles sharply but yOU CAN'T TELL BECAUSE OF THE DUMB GAUDY MASK]
Good. I want to start knocking out some of the followers from the people who are in the lead. Love is annoying, but Sincerity's the one who really needs to learn his place. We can come up with something to do about his team first.
[yikes]
...but if you get Entrapta to join me, I can definitely reward you for that even before you go after someone on Sincerity's team.

[ she is definitely interested in this (im?)mortal beef between Ambition and Sincerity, ngl ]
Wow. Sounds like he's been a pain to you for a long time. You'd think with a name like Sincerity, he'd be sincere about what his place should be on the echelon.
[ throws shade at a god she's never met because his name is stupid. a mood. but more than that, reward!!! yesss ]
It's not even a matter of if. She knows the best way for her to get what she wants is with me. And so, now, by extension... with you.
[ she just needs to like. sit her down in one spot but it'll happen :/ ]

He's a complete idiot.
[Ambition says, waspishly. But she warms a little at what Catra says next - getting more followers pleases her. She knew Catra was a good pick.]
Good. You help me get what I want, and I'll help you both get what you want. [There's an underlying note of frustration in her voice - she doesn't really like relying on other people, but what can you expect from someone named Ambition?] And we'll make everyone else regret opposing us.

[ preens ] Now that I can definitely get behind. I won't let you down, Ambition.
[ again, she loves this, but uno concern: ]
Should I be worried about the other people playing for your team?

[ she. has to smuggle a laugh at that ]
Or-- or, um, you could keep them in the background as pawns? That's what we do in the Horde. Kyle's an idiot, but a warm body's a warm body.

Now that's how you use your dead weight. And if you ever need a scapegoat... That's what they're there for.
[ the most cursed ]

Well, if that's all... I'll report back after I've gotten Entrapta on our side.

I do have one, actually. [ catra would usually rather Die than be prepared information wise because that implies she cares and caring is for losers, but: ] Is there anyone here we should watch out for? God or otherwise.
[Ambition tries to answer, but makes a small mmm sounds as she is apparently physically stopped from speaking. Then she stomps her foot and makes an angry gesture at the air.]
Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous! What do you mean I can't say?!
[UUUUUUUGH.]
I'm not allowed to warn you about the other participants. Ugh, someone's going to pay for that later. But try not to get on Ruin's bad side. Most of the other gods are totally incompetent and we can handle them, but she knows how to play games like this.

[ well. this is giving her hordak vs shadow weaver flashbacks, but she just blinks. ]
Guess that means it's requests or nothing? [ a. anyway. ] I'll keep it in mind.

[ she knows better than to laugh at ambition out loud but damn does she want to. she bites her lip and huffs ]
Names, hm... What kind of questions about specific people can you answer?
[ because catra has no paid nearly enough attention to people right now oops ]

Plenty of things. Like, if you say, "Ambition, I want to kill that icky little goodie two shoes with the pink hair," I can tell you if I think that's a good idea or not.
[Ambition shrugs.]
I can't outright say she's my follower, but I can say if I like what you have in mind.

That describes like, three people here.
