GODLY AUDIENCES: SENRI

[usogi]

Any chance you could make this deal with the rest of the gods?

[just wondering!]

But yeah - that's why I'm asking. Ruin's visions haven't exactly conflicted, but it feels weird that she's not telling the whole story to everyone who asks her.

[divus]

Nope. [But nice try.]

You ever consider maybe that's just a Ruin thing and not a gods as a whole thing?

[usogi]

I have! I just don't get why.... Is that how she wants to win?

What do you know about her anyway?

[divus]

I never asked her strategy. She likes me enough but we don't really talk shop like I do with some of the others. [Ruin is still a competitor.] She's okay though. Misguided and a little intense sometimes, but some of her ideals aren't the worst. The execution's off, but whose isn't?

[Hm.] It was her idea to turn this into a killing game though to help us figure out who'll win. It made sense.

[usogi]

.... why did you agree?

[he tilts his head]

Other methods didn't sound as appealing for you?

[divus]

It's like I told the brat. [Ray.] I'm not out to actively kill people. You think we'd be getting anywhere if everyone was in play and nobody was moving? You need some stakes to make people act, but if you know how to dodge death you can survive. The thing about it is, most places don't believe in rebirth. We're giving you the chance to come back unharmed in the end.

We didn't have to offer that caveat, but it's why some of us agreed with her.

[usogi]

[ . . . . senri frown and crosses his arms.]

I don't think you needed death to do it. You could've done something else? Items to be stolen? Like if someone finds your coin and breaks it, you're out?

[JUST SAYING! but - ]

.... well, it's not worth saying anything now.

Though I'm curious - do you know why Passhi decided to stay out of it, even though she voted for the game to be like this?

[divus]

[Shruuuug.] And you don't think people would've found even more loopholes for that? Think about it.

[At the question though he pauses.] ...I'm not really sure. I've never really asked her. We only asked for her vote because she wasn't playing.

[usogi]

[he tilts his head]

... why? Does she just not have any interest in ruling a new world at all?

[divus]

Maybe not. I've never really spoken to her even though she's pretty cute. [Hm.] But she kind of stayed out of everything when we were making plans.

[usogi]

[hm.]

... please think of Dizzy.

[he has to say it,]

You don't know any of the gods who were close to her?

[divus]

...I'm not cheating on Disorder, relax. Like she doesn't say shit about other guys. [But he's moving on.] ...but no. I can't think of any who really knew her that well. Piety knows all of us, and we've all talked a bunch of times but she never said too much about herself to me. Not sure who she would've told.

[usogi]

I didn't think you were but she'd be sooooo mad - I think?

[look she's kinda hard to read]

... ugh. And there's no way to get to where she is? Breaking and entering is your thing, right?

[divus]

[...] Yeah, maybe. [ANYWAY.] Have you tried praying to her? Breaking and entering's my thing, but I've got other things to be doing with it right now.

[usogi]

Huh? What're you busy with?

[divus]

Secret! You'll see soon enough. [Spoilers, he was still dicking around and preparing what happened to Connor/Zoe/Ray.] Don't worry about it too much though.

[usogi]

I feel like I should... but okay.

[he shakes his head]

I guess that's all - I would offer to do you favors, but my specialty is talking to people and it seems like Bambi got you taken care of in the followers realm.

[divus]

What do you call her Bambi anyway? Wasn't Bambi a deer prince or whatever?

[usogi]

There was Ambi - but there's also Bambi and Bambi was super cute? Then I think he grew up strong so he could protect the forest!

[he offers up a smile]

I think Bambi can do really wonderful things too.

[divus]

She can. She already does. [Who are they even talking about anymore.] But if she doesn't mind it I can't complain too much.

...thanks for taking the time to get to know her though.

[usogi]

[they both have such bad taste but also not because bambi deserves the world]

... I was a little nervous at first, but I think she and I get along really well now. Same for me and Dizzy.

I'd like it if that was true for the both of us too.

[divus]

...they're nice if you give them a chance. It's just that not enough people do. [There's a lingering pause.]

It's probably better if you didn't apply the same to me. [Hm.]

[usogi]

You don't think that you're a nice person?

[divus]

Does it matter what I think?

[usogi]

Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

[???? dude are you okay]
