GODLY AUDIENCES: SENRI AND SASUKE

[divus]

Comments

WEEK 2

[divus]

[Here are some things that are the worst: all the hoops that Senri and Sasuke had to go to finally get even a modicum of attention from Indulgence, who has now seen fit to make them drag their asses all the way back to the Parlor, which is not even his own room, who is lounging on top of the piano like some kind of starlet, and has one leg in the air.

Oh, but there's more, because when Indulgence sees Sasuke, he lets out a bleat of laughter.]

Ha! What happened to you? You look like a cat that's just been unwillingly assaulted by a groomer. [He points a lazy hand at Senri.] Aaaand I'm guessing you would be that groomer.

[usogi]

[put that leggy down, SIR

senri has no fucking clue how this happened. he wishes he had even the slightest understanding. he was actually decently nervous but now he's just

losing his goddamn mind in laughter because dragging sasuke is his favorite olympic sport, and then he grins back at the god before giving a dramatic bow as if he was on a stage]

I worked with what I had.

[moralmyopia]

[Oh my GOD. GODS, whatever.

Immediately, Sasuke regrets this and, immediately, he wants to leave. One hand balls into a fist at his side. His expression is utterly sour, not matching the fitted and sleek outfit Senri managed to con him into.

Lifting a foot, he shoves it against Senri's ass in hopes the orange idiot ends up on the ground.] Knock it off, idiot. [Stop helping the god make fun of him?!?! WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON, SENRI NITO.]

[divus]

[Everything is regrets right now as Indulgence, maybe reluctantly, puts that absolutely twinkish leg down and swings his body until he's sitting on the edge of the piano instead of lounging across it.]

Well, you had the right idea, just don't worry about being so stuffy next time. Looks only impress me if you're trying to get me in the sack and, gotta tell you, not feeling it here.

[usogi]

Ow!

[HE DID NOT COME HERE TO BE PART OF A COMEDY DUO!!

but also, even as senri straightens up he can't help but note - ] You remind me of someone...

[and he plasters the smile on again]

Even so, thank you for gracing us with your time. ♪ I'm sure you've been very busy with the game, of course.

[this is like 300x nicer than senri was being to sasuke even 2 minutes ago, this fakeass bitch]

WEEK 3

[divus]

[Well. Sincerity is waiting for them at the entrance to the east wing, and the god has decided to take the fancy jacket Senri left as an offering and turn it into a look, complete with heels. The robes are gone today, though the mask stays in place; long, blonde curls tumble down their back.

They look Sasuke and Senri over, then nod, sounding pleased when they speak.]

Well, what do you know? You do clean up nicely.

[usogi]

[let's be very clear that the entire walk over, senri was latched onto sasuke's arm because he was cold. and now .- ]

Cheriiiiii! ♥

[this is the first time he's letting go because instead he's walking over to open his arms to sincerity for a hug??]

You're serving looks today. ♪

[moralmyopia]

[He should have taken the shurikens from Indulgence so he could slit his own throat.

In the end, despite the flamboyant idol leaping away, Sasuke has his arm free. He tucks both hands idly in the pockets of the jacket as he follows slowly after, which is a shame because the mood ring has a very faint twinge of brown before it disappears from view.

He's been blackmailed into behaving, so he manages a:] Hey.

[divus]

[it's hug time! ...sincerity might be wrapping a warm-looking jacket around senri. fashionable also, but most of all, warm. hm.

the god glances over at sasuke.]

We're going on a [date] trip to the carnival, and as a god, I decree that we're all going to have fun.

[usogi]

[oh.

senri will take the jacket gratefully, and smile fondly up at sincerity once it's with him. he'll slip it on and glance over between sincerity and sasuke]

Did Dizzy tell you that my other task was to take Sasuke-kun on a date?

It's bound to be even more fun if you come with us.

WEEK 3

[divus]

[Justice was waiting in the lab...but as they're heading that way, he comes bounding out from around a corner, having been too excited to wait. He has both of his offerings wrapped up in his arms.]

These are both...the best ever! H-How did you find some things that are so amazing?

[moralmyopia]

[For some Strange Reason, Sasuke still isn't back in the ridiculous ninja outfit he arrived in. Hm. Weird. He's wearing a conglomerate of modern clothes from the costume hall; something like this because he's stupid.

He also has a ring which is currently a royal blue.]

We won them. [Despite trying to keep his face placid, he actually smiles some.] If you want to win more, you have to leave them. You can't carry everything.

[usogi]

There's a whoooole lot m-more where that came from, cutie!

[senri's trying so hard to not look super fucking cold?? but also he's still bundled up - including a black denim jacket that normally doesn't go with his aesthetic? it's fine. he untangles his arm from where he was definitely attached to sasuke, opening his arms out to justice. he's wearing gloves and everything,,]

Ready to go play? Give me those and I'll put them away and Sasuke can piggyback you to the carnival.

[MOM AND DAD VIBES STRONG]

[divus]

More?

[At first, Justice sounds confused...but then gasps.]

You mean...you're gonna take me? I've never been to...to a carnival before! I didn't think that I could go!

[Justice could absolutely just like, idk magically make these go back to his room but, also, who would deny the offer of a piggyback from an emo???]

Is all of that...all of that really okay? Really?

[moralmyopia]

[Very slowly, Sasuke slides Senri a look because he was just so blatantly volunteered without having any kind of say-so. WHATEVER. Whatever.

Rolling his eyes, Sasuke drops down into a crouch to wait on Justice to give up the gifts and climb on. Why does he do this? Why...

not for senri that's for sure]

WEEK 5

[divus]

[Piety stands when Sasuke AND SENRI enter the private study.]

Good afternoon...it's nice to finally be able to speak with you face to face.

[And nodding at Senri, as well:]

And your company is always a pleasure!

[moralmyopia]

[Sasuke glances at Senri for a moment, but then turns his attention back to Piety.]

I was told to speak to you.

[He doesn't look at Senri again, but it's implied.]

[usogi]

[god he's so rude]

'sup Pippin.

Sasuke didn't trust me that he'd like you - so I thought maybe a chat might win him over. Do you think you could tell us a little bit about yourself? You were some kind of mediator in a past life, right? That's what I heard...

[divus]

[Not minding the rudeness, Piety just laughs softly.]

That's alright. I'm happy to speak with anyone no matter their disposition. I'm sorry if I've given you an impression of me that you find off-putting.

[He walks back toward one of the seats.]

Please, sit with me. I'm happy to answer anything you'd like. To start...yes, it's true, I worked as an ambassador of peace.

[moralmyopia]

[Wow. He's been stuck so long with Senri that he actually feels guilty at the apology. His mouth opens, but he doesn't say anything in the end. Instead, he cuts a look at Senri, strangely not irritable for once, and then he slowly moves to sit.

It's probably bad enough he could always find solitude here, but then never talked to Piety!!]

Ambassador for what? Lands? A village?

WEEK 6

[divus]

[Hi, uh...Sean will find them, standing nervously in the entrance of where ever it is the two of them have hidden out. He has a box in his hands, and he can't seem to take his eyes quite off of the ground.]

Do...do you want to be alone?

[moralmyopia]

[They're in the game room mostly, since that's where Sasuke had been hanging out initially. There's a guitar and an amp off to the side, and a basket of goodies. Hm.

Sasuke seems to be fighting the growing pain in his face, and fingers, and feet, but he glances up at Sean's voice and smiles weakly.]

No. What do you have?

[A KNIFE]

[usogi]

[senri isn't too far, looking up from the basket of snacks since taka has left them for the time being. he offers up a bright smile for Sean, despite.... everything]

Come in, Seanbon! Sasuke, let's put on a gentler game.

[not kingdom hearts where people smack each other with giant keys]

[divus]

Oh, it's okay. I've seen...some really violent things before, so you don't have to stop.

[It's Disney it's fine you're fine...]

I wanted to, um...

[He comes forward and sets the box down, sitting across from them.]

I was going to save all of this, but I thought...I want to show you right now.

[When he opens it up, he carefully begins removing the contents: origami piece after origami piece after origami piece, setting each one down gently as if by design in a specific order.]

[moralmyopia]

[Well, it's fine. He'll pause it at least. It's not as if he can exactly play much of it with his hands on fire anyway.

He frowns, but it fades when Sean comes over with the box and sits down with them. He thinks... he isn't sure what he thinks. It's a game maybe, like the ones in here. He's not expecting the origami.

So his drops in surprise when the lid comes off and Sean starts pulling them one after another out of the box. He exchanges a look with Senri briefly and then glances back.]

Sean...
