[WELL NOW SHE KNOWS AND HE STILL LIKES HER AND IT'S FINE]

Of course! Making things as pretty as possible is my specialty.

[including fabricating reality

anyway,]

Oh that reminds me - Indulgence said that all the gods have their own specialties when it comes to doing favors. Can I ask what yours is? Or if you know any other gods'...?

[divus]

I'm not allowed to tell you what the other gods' specialties are, but...

[You can practically hear the smirk in Ambition's voice.]

I'm the best at dropping hints about things to get around the rules. If you're smart enough to pick up on it, it can be useful.

[usogi]

[oh my god

senri laughs but also]

Mm, that suits you.

Ah, I would've loved to have someone like you on my side back home...

[divus]

It's not too late to switch to me, you know. Then I'd be on your side here, and you'd go back home with my blessings.

[does that sound godly?




ambition might be trying to mimic how piety speaks]

[usogi]

[senri offers a smile - though it's admittedly a little bit sad]

... I don't want to lie to you, so all I can say is that if it works out that way, then I will. So we can hang out all the time. I just don't know if I can agree to that yet.

But I do want to figure out a way for you to be happy - promise.

[divus]

It's still early.

[She's confident Senri will see his way to joining her eventually.]

...but I get it. You actually like your god, right?

[usogi]

Yup.

[though he's quick to make sure - ]

... but I like you too, you know.

I like a lot of gods... you all make it really hard to pick.

[divus]

If picking were easy, we wouldn't have needed to ask all of you guys to do it.

[just imagine the shitshow that pre-murdergame arguments were, senri



just imagine it]

[usogi]

[ . . . . singular but heartfelt yike]

Mm, that makes sense.

Well, you all have to live together here after, right... So it's best if you all get along sooner rather than later, isn't it?

[divus]

[stares at him]

How much mythology did you read before coming here? Did you, like, read any at all?

[usogi]

I read a few old plays....

[but if it's not for work, his grades are shit,,]

I guess I was just being hopeful.

[divus]

Maybe read some when you get back. Gods are always arguing with each other.

[usogi]

[he looks a little thoughtful at that]

... but you weren't always gods, right?

Do you think that if you met some of these people before you had to share a pantheon, you could've gotten along?

[divus]

Some of them, maybe. But others? No. Definitely not.

[usogi]

Oh.

[ . . . ]

Can I ask which ones you don't think you would've been able to get along with...? Since I heard that at the end all the gods will still need to have to rule together...

[divus]

Indulgence is an idiot and I'm pretty sure he was an idiot before becoming a god.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[usogi]

[senri tries really hard to keep from laughing

he tries really, really hard

but no he thinks that's

fucking awesome so he just loses his mind]

Ahahah, right?! You can't tell him I agree but - ahh, I agree, I totally agree!

[STOP]

[divus]

[ambition is smirking behind her mask]

Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that well enough to agree. But you get it, right? Some people you just can't get along with no matter what, and expecting anyone to is ridiculous.

[1/2]

[usogi]

[senri eventually settles in his fit of laughter.....]

Mm, I think I kinda do - Shishimaru and I were partners at school, but we don't agree on anything, you know? I spent a lot of time trying to get away from him, even though the dorm leader said no a bunch of times.

[this is why he wanted ambition to help him get around the rules,,]

But - .... well, maybe it's not impossible.

[usogi]

Even though I totally get that it can be hard when one person's a buffoon.

[please stop being a bitch]

[divus]

So hard.

[Ambition waves a hand.]

That's why you should strive to only surround yourself with the best.

[usogi]

[she totally is fem touji.... and senri just laughs faintly, fondly.]

I'm sure you work really hard to be the best too. Try not to take it all on by yourself, okay?

[divus]

I know when to delegate. Don't worry about that.

[ambition this is why no one likes you, just say "thanks for worrying"]

[usogi]

Mm, that's not really what I meant... but I guess I'm glad for that too.

[he'll roll with it....]

[divus]

Hm.

[hm!!]

Was there anything else you wanted?
