[Jack has more or less given up even appearing in his godly duds because screw that. He's laying on the billiard table this time, one leg dangling over the edge and hands resting on his stomach as he waits.]
So...Ruin's vulnerable. [May as well just. Throw that out there.]
I'm relieved it wasn't Piety, but... I do feel Ruin is fairly likely to be targeted. Shishimaru and I have discussed the possibility of paying a visit and offering our assistance this Thursday.
[he's never talked to ruin personally, so he's not positive how that's going to go, but.]
Thaaat I can't tell you....goes against the rules of the game. Sorry. [He looks frustrated, too.] You're gonna have to puzzle all of that out yourself.
...you both know I'm not really for this whole killing thing. [A nod to Takaomi.] You especially know that. But do you think anybody will defect to her after this week?
[He holds up his hands.] I'm not saying do or don't, but be smart about whatever you're gonna do. Look at everything and then decide. [A beat.] And check in with me Thursday night. Why do you think All Nighter's one of my powers?
I don't know that anyone will, but... I feel that we at least need to consider it, if only because we didn't catch Fortune's killer. If they targeted one god, they may do so again, and while only Ruin is vulnerable now...
[it's probably obvious who he's thinking about.
but after a moment, he adds:]
Speaking of that, though. After this last round of defections, do you still count the person you told us about among your followers?
Don't worry, they're still with me. And I know. A lot of us are down to one right now...I'm hoping the numbers spread out to be more even again next week after Disorder's punishment wears off.
...run your plans by me before you do it. Losing Ruin would be bad, but I'd rather it be her than either of you.
WEEK 4, MONDAY
So...Ruin's vulnerable. [May as well just. Throw that out there.]

But uh, first. Was it a Ruin follower who killed Fortune?

You think protecting Ruin's a good idea?

Do you believe we shouldn't?
