WEEK 3

[divus]

[did senri take nail polishes from the beauty salon that ambition oversees to make an offering to her




well whatever she'll accept it. she's back in the beauty salon, putting each of them back in place.]

You weren't kidding about manicures.

[usogi]

[she's only ever met him in the dining hall!!!!! how was he supposed to know]

Why would I?

Do you want to still?

[divus]

I am in desperate need of a manicure. I haven't been able to see my usual nail artist since I became a god.

[she's SUFFERING, senri]

[usogi]

[oh my god - senri cracks up a little bit at that]

Okay, okay - I'm a novice so I can't do cuticle care or anything, but I've got the basics covered! My senpai taught me before I came here.

[he'll walk over to her and look over the supplies]

Trust me?

[divus]

Push yourself. I want better than the basics.

[but she holds out her hand to him so he can get started so that must mean she trusts him to succeed if he tries!!!




either that or she's just lazy]

[usogi]

I can make them cute.

[hE'S NOT GOING TO DO CUTICLES THAT'S TOO SCARY TO MESS UP but he can make them cute for sure.]

Got a preference in color? I think black and gold is super stylish, especially as a gradient, but I don't know if you get tired of the same old same old.

[i had to make it clear he wasn't offering to give her goth nails]

[divus]

I usually do a French tip manicure, but if you think you can get the gradient right, I'll let you try black and gold.

[it'll match her mask.]

[usogi]

Your wish is my command.

[and that's how over the course of this thread senri is going to be working on ambition's nails?? why is this happening]

It looks like you're really moving up in the world, Bambi! Congrats on your new follower.

[divus]

[i don't know

senri why are you so easily bullied]

Thank you. [She sounds proud of herself.] See, people do like me once they actually bother to get to know me.

[usogi]

[he likes making girls happy

he looks up to her mask and gives her a look that's somewhere between fond and exasperated]

You know that I'm not someone you need to prove that too, right? I already like you.

[divus]

You might change your mind. People... do that sometimes.

[yeah probably because you treat them like shit, ambition]

[usogi]

Then if we argue, we'll take a day to cool our heads, and then come back and make it better.

[senri shrugs like it's the easiest thing in the world. maybe to him it is.]

That's what friends do.

[divus]

...

[ambition sounds absolutely gobsmacked]

You... mean that?

[1/2]

[usogi]

I'm doing your nails, Bambi. I'm nice, but not a saint.

[usogi]

[but he's just teasing, seeing as he laughs and gives her a perfectly endeared smile after.]

'course I mean it.

So have a little faith in me. I get mad just like anybody else, but I'll always wanna believe that you mean well, okay?

[divus]

I...

[sHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE PEOPLE BEING NICE TO HER. she looks away quickly, though she's very careful not to move her hand so her nails don't get hecked up.]

...thank you.

[do you have any idea how much saying that killed her, senri. do you. she's dead inside. a shell of her former self. i feel hideously ooc.]

[usogi]

Mm-hmm. That's what I thought, you're really cute too.

[he's having a good time?? but also this is soft, and he's happy. he hums a pleased little note even as he gives her a smile]

I'm going to say 'you're welcome' to be polite, and because I get that hearing those words from you is a big deal.... but you don't need to thank me for being your friend in the future.

Just so you know.

[divus]

[GOD WHAT DOES SHE EVEN DO WITH THIS





she continues not looking at him and staying still so he can do her nails, that's what]

F-fine. I'll remember that.

[usogi]

[she's doing her best and senri loves her]

Thanks! ♪

Can I learn more about you while I'm still working then? Do you get to tell me your name yet? What your home is like?

[divus]

We barely know each other, so I can't tell you my name.

["Duh." god, i'm sorry she's rude.]

But I can tell you I'm from Paris, I guess.

[usogi]

[HE ELECTS TO IGNORE IT]

Paris...! I've only heard of it - I've never been. Is it as beautiful as everyone says?

[divus]

Well of course it is. I wouldn't live there if it wasn't.

[usogi]

What are your favorite places?

Will you take us there when it's your turn to host?

[he'd love it so much]

[divus]

I'm going to be taking you all to the best hotel in Paris.

[god why is she like this]

The boutiques are phenomenal, of course. They're not actually in the hotel, but I'll make sure they are when it's in my wing so you don't have to go far. Making it different from how it was will be good practice for when I win and make a new world, anyway.

[usogi]

A hotel? A fancy hotel? Really?

[hE'S SO HAPPY HE COULD CRY]
