[To no one's surprise, Ruin's domain is the dungeon. The masked god is leaning against one of the cell doors when he enters - but she moves away from the wall and walks forward to greet him as he passes through the door.]
There you are. I was wondering when you were going to call out to me. ♡
[Hector doesn't seem elated he's forced to talk to his god right in middle of this creepy dungeon, buuuuut he made his bed and therefore he has to sleep on it. He tries not to show how uncomfortable he is]
Does that mean your other follower visits you often?
[What she said gives him that impression, at least]
[He sure doesn't seem enamored about the idea of seeing Ruin that often, hah. But still! He's here, and he has a reason to talk to her. Let's go!]
How much do you know about everything we -- everyone invited to this temple -- do? There's something I'm worried about and if you know, then you should have some answers.
[Ruin is the only one he can think could know and be willing to tell him, he thinks. She's his only hope of finding out]
It's...two things, actually. The big rewards at the end...will I be able to choose what I get?
[If he manages to earn it, he means. While he's aware they'll receive some sort of reward, he's not sure things will be perfectly convenient unless he chooses how it's all like. He's now aware the gods surely know about his plight -- or at least about what the app said, haha -- but he'd rather choose the terms of a reward himself]
[That's quite encouraging. If he can choose exactly what he gets...]
Thanks. I really needed to hear that.
[He's supposing he'll get it only if Ruin wins. That's the biggest obstacle, in his opinion. Right now, Ruin is pretty far behind in the competition, and unless he and whoever the other follower do some serious attacks onto the rest, they won't win.
Pretty raw deal, in his opinion]
The other thing I want to know is about Ava's sketchbook. You know what all that was about?
[Apparently the reassurance isn't what he was looking for. Even though he's trying to keep it hidden, the thought Ava may have had ill intentions towards him makes him wonder if others think the same, and since what he wants relies on staying alive to get the prize...
...
Even though he knows he shouldn't, he starts feeling rather suspicious about others. Thanks a lot, Ruin]
I don't mean any offense, but some people do seem to think those following you are like avatars of wordly destruction and that kinda thing.
[i.e. Luna talking about Madoka. He doesn't believe for a second Madoka is the other Ruin follower, but still! Chances are others think Ruin will destroy everything and rule over the remains]
What did you expect? Of course we're gonna stick with the gods we're supporting and ignore the rest.
[It's nothing to be surprised about, he'd say]
I'm with you all the way [because he feels he has no better option] and I guess others will stick with their gods until the end. Just ignore what they say.
[Seeing her leaning against that statue makes Hector a tad nervous, but hey, he should go ahead nonetheless. Time to gather his courage and try his best]
Listen, I gotta admit I'm gonna act.
[And by that he means he'll murder]
Ruin told me she's supposed to stay out of your way, so I figured I should do the same -- not target any of your followers. That's what I'm here for, to make sure I'm not stepping on your toes.
[He already has a specific target in mind, he has to admit]
...I'm gonna aim for those who aren't human. Honestly, those are the ones I'd feel less guilty about.
[Even though he says that he sounds so uneasy, because even though they're not human they still are rather human-looking. Is there really any difference between attacking them and any person?]

WEEK 2
There you are. I was wondering when you were going to call out to me. ♡

Does that mean your other follower visits you often?
[What she said gives him that impression, at least]
no subject
[She's... probably smiling behind her mask? It sounds like she's smiling behind her mask.]
So. What is it you want from me?
no subject
[He sure doesn't seem enamored about the idea of seeing Ruin that often, hah. But still! He's here, and he has a reason to talk to her. Let's go!]

[Ruin is the only one he can think could know and be willing to tell him, he thinks. She's his only hope of finding out]
no subject
It's just what you get up to with other gods that I can't see.
no subject
It's...two things, actually. The big rewards at the end...will I be able to choose what I get?
[If he manages to earn it, he means. While he's aware they'll receive some sort of reward, he's not sure things will be perfectly convenient unless he chooses how it's all like.

The other thing I want to know is about Ava's sketchbook. You know what all that was about?
no subject
[...hm]
no subject
I shouldn't worry about it because she's dead or because she had no ill intentions?
[Looks like that sketchbook is something Hector is very concerned about, especially because Ava marked him, for some reason]
no subject
[sadly, ruin cannot say anything else]
no subject
[Apparently the reassurance isn't what he was looking for. Even though he's trying to keep it hidden, the thought Ava may have had ill intentions towards him makes him wonder if others think the same, and since what he wants relies on staying alive to get the prize...
...
Even though he knows he shouldn't, he starts feeling rather suspicious about others. Thanks a lot, Ruin]
That aside, what're you gonna do if you win?
no subject
Well, what else would I do? I'll be in charge of all the other gods, and I'll make a world for people to live on and worship us.
Don't tell me people have been saying I'll just destroy the world if I win.
no subject
[i.e. Luna talking about Madoka. He doesn't believe for a second Madoka is the other Ruin follower, but still! Chances are others think Ruin will destroy everything and rule over the remains]
no subject
The same people who are saying things like that have never bothered to even speak to me. Phooey!
no subject
[It's nothing to be surprised about, he'd say]
I'm with you all the way [because he feels he has no better option] and I guess others will stick with their gods until the end. Just ignore what they say.
no subject
[h u f f s]
And you all should be talking to all of us. How else are we supposed to figure out who to take out first?
no subject
[Besides...]
I have heard you have one you want out before anyone else, anyway.
[Sincerity. Or so people have said. Hector loathes having to talk about something like this, buuuut...yeah]
no subject
[Ruin shrugs delicately.]
Disorder promised she'd stay out of my way if I didn't get in hers, that's all. She's the one who wants him gone. ♡
no subject
[Great, something to worry about. As if the mere thought of attacking someone else wasn't bad enough for him already]
no subject
Don't worry so much. I'm going to win, and you're going to go home with your prize once I'm crowned queen of the gods.
no subject
[Sigh. He reluctantly mumbles:]
I'll see what I can do.
[He sure doesn't have much faith about being able to get away with anything]
no subject
no subject
I'm gonna leave now. Good finally meeting you...Ms. Ruin?
[Does one say 'miss' to a god? Or Your Majesty? Your Honor?]
no subject
[god, why.]
But, go on! You're dismissed. ♡
WEEK 3
[Disorder's waiting for him in the courtyard, leaning against Hector's statue.]
What can I do for you?
no subject
Listen, I gotta admit I'm gonna act.
[And by that he means he'll murder]
Ruin told me she's supposed to stay out of your way, so I figured I should do the same -- not target any of your followers. That's what I'm here for, to make sure I'm not stepping on your toes.
[He already has a specific target in mind, he has to admit]
no subject
[Honestly, Disorder wasn't completely sure how true to her word Ruin would be.]
I can't confirm or deny anything specifically, but hit me with it and I'll let you know whether or not you should...reconsider.
no subject
[Even though he says that he sounds so uneasy, because even though they're not human they still are rather human-looking. Is there really any difference between attacking them and any person?]
no subject
That's fine. I can't think of anyone like that who would be troublesome for me to lose.
[But she pauses, sizing him up.]
Are you going to be alright?
