Yes, he knows who my last follower is--they sought each other out quite quickly. It's not up to me to say who they are, of course, but I'm confident that so long as they don't become a target independently, there's no need to worry about them defecting.
[But Piety does pause.]
As long as I can just stay in the game with one follower, it's enough for me. Even with just one, I can do as much as I can to help. If you do find out who my follower is on your own, if you can help keep them safe in any way...be their friend or...try to keep Ambition's followers from forcing them to defect...that would be ideal.
[He sighs.]
I don't think Cunning has told Ambition or Disorder about our alliance--that's fine, I don't mind, because I think it might confuse them or cause conflict, knowing that he made any kind of promise to me without discussing it with them first. My only worry is, because they don't know that I'm not fighting against any of them, they may act against me because I'm an easier target.
I want to find Bambi's followers but... I only know one. It's a pretty smart strategy - the way they're making everyone scatter, you know?
But... do you think Dizzy would do that to you? Or Bambi? I thought you and Bambi were getting along.... I think she'd be pretty sad if she put you in a bad position like that.
Not necessarily. I'm only not sure that her followers are communicating about who they may be targeting, leaving gods vulnerable that they may not have intended.
Exactly. The best we can do is give suggestions on how we feel about specific names that are given to us--but even then, we can't express why we may feel a certain way about that individual.
[Piety nods in understanding.]
It's difficult. Especially now, with so many of us in low numbers, I'm sure a lot of people are feeling scared. Trusting someone can be opening yourself up to betrayal. But, still...you're a warm person. I think that you can do much more than you give yourself credit for.
... well.... if it's someone that Ishirin-san has known since the beginning of the game... that probably means that their coin is perfect, right? If I can figure out who it is... I'll see what I can do to protect them.
[oh god it's so complicated and senri is a fucking moron,]
I'll keep working... but I wanted to ask about something that Cunning told me too. About how a god's vision might not come out perfectly if not all of their followers believe in it?
I think what he might have meant is that...if one of us won, and the rest of us were aware that they won without having the genuine support of their followers, it would draw us only farther away from harmony.
[He can't help but sigh, thinking about it.]
After all, the point of having this competition in the first place was to have a third party come to a natural majority in favor of a single party. Some of us may not be opposed to underhanded methods to keep that majority, but I think after the idea was presented to attempt to end the game early by aligning everyone under a single god, it's put a lot of us on edge.

And there's no way for gods to give us hints about who might belong to which god... ahh, I can't believe I haven't found even one of them on my own.
