Right. Honestly, I haven't thought about her much because she's not competing.
[sincerity is kind of a moron]
Dunno if "talk to" is the right sentiment, but you can leave offerings for them just like you can for us. They'll get 'em for sure when they come back at the end, maybe sooner.
[senri stans sincerity even if he doesn't have the braincell? they're both trying really hard?]
.... okay. I'll try that.
[ . . . and he just deflates entirely.]
Can... I switch my power this week? I don't even know where to start for trial tomorrow - I knew Gau-san a little, and Chuuya-san more than that, but I don't think I'll be as helpful this time with information...
You know, I think we all assumed you were going to stick with your power picks. But... Sure. On Sunday, if you choose to stay, you can choose a new power. It'll kick in on Monday, like your new power would if you changed gods.
I know how badly you want what you'll get if you win this. If we get to the last week and I'm not in the lead, I wouldn't feel right asking you to stay.
... I'm going to work really hard for that outcome, promise.
[and that's not a lie.]
Ah... Cheri, while I'm here - can I ask you something else? Indulgence said that every god has a skill they have that they can grant easier than other gods. Like how he can make items appear... can I ask what your skill is?
If I don't know something, I'll say so. If I'm not allowed to say something, I'll say so. And if I know the answer to something? For my followers, I'll say it plainly. For people who aren't mine... well, nothing I say will be untrue, but they might have to think about it a little harder.
Oh but speaking of rules... I talked to Ambition - and it sounds like she might need friends? I'm worried about her... She's really abrasive at first, but if she doesn't win this, I want to make sure that the world is still one where she can be happy. So I was wondering if maybe you and some of the other gods might be able to try to be nicer to her so she doesn't feel so angry?
[talks to one of britt's gods about another one of britt's gods]
And I know, I know Disorder doesn't like you - I don't like her either! [she flirted with taka!] But Bambi is juuuust like one of my friends from home so I don't want to leave her with just bad friends....
Do you have any idea how hard it's going to be to cross them and get away with it? Like, sure, I'll definitely try to be a little nicer to her, but she doesn't spend a lot of time away from them.
Do you think I should try to talk to Cunning, Cheri? I'm too nervous to talk to Disorder - and I'm mad at her. But if there's a chance I could get along with Cunning....
Ray-kun said you told him not to chat up too many of the gods, or else they think you're going to join them, so I'm trying to figure out what to do....
Talking to the gods isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you do it often enough, they are going to think you want to join them. And for some of them, that's no big deal. Others? They'll get real bitter over it.
It's your choice to make. All I can do is give you information so you can make that choice.
That's supposed to be my thing - but I don't know if I can compete against a god of it.....
What do you think about Disorder and Ruin then, Cheri? I've heard about them from the participants, but I was wondering if they're any different on the gods' side.
I mean, I know I am, but seriously? Why are they going after me first? I didn't even do anything to them! ...well, maybe I read that poem a few times too many, but I didn't think it was that bad.

[Sincerity shrugs.]
But I'm not really supposed to say. Which of us to trust is supposed to be your choice to make.
no subject
[ . . . and he just deflates. he lets his head fall onto the table, but keeps holding onto sincerity's hand. by every measure, he looks exhausted]
Ray-kun said we might be able to talk to people who are with Passhi now. Do you know how, Cheri? I... really miss Shiks.

he holds on tighter to sincerity's hand like that, and looks away quickly as if that'll hide that his eyes might be welling up with tears again]
.... I -
I'll do my best until then. And I'll stick with you for as long as I can, and get as many people as I can to join you too....
So you don't have to worry about that. I promised you - a pact between a prince and a god, right?
no subject
[Sincerity squeezes his hand.]
I'll be counting on that promise. The best outcome is that we win this together.

I still need to learn to ask better questions then.
[hE'S SO BAD AT THIS]
Mm, am I allowed to ask who your other followers are? I know Madopyon is... but can you give me a hint to find the others?

Okay.... I'll figure something out.

On the one hand, Sincerity has to admire Senri for this. And in literally any other situation, it would be great. In this case, though...]
Sen-chan, did she tell you which gods she's friends with already?
no subject
[which by the way - ]
And I know, I know Disorder doesn't like you - I don't like her either! [she flirted with taka!] But Bambi is juuuust like one of my friends from home so I don't want to leave her with just bad friends....

senri will reach out his other hand to take sincerity's in both of his now]
You're really charismatic. It makes sense to be jealous, Cheri. I still think you're amazing.
