To me, preferably, since you know I won't tell anyone. I just get super worried when you keep all your anger pent up. You said it yourself that you get a little out of hand.
That's why I made a hall full of mirrors. If I get too angry I just smash some of them.
[She clenches and unclenches her fists.]
I don't have anything else to vent about. I don't want to waste my time thinking about someone who doesn't matter when I'd rather spend it on good, decent people. But, like, none of them even listen to me so what do I expect from that, either?
Look me in the eye and tell me you honestly believe it would make a difference. Because if you really think you're the only one who I've chased down before just to get them to talk to me and listen? You're kidding yourself. I'm tired of humiliating myself. Wouldn't you be?
I'm not begging them to help me. Don't you think it's a little telling the way that Ambition reacted when she thought Cunning would be down to one follower versus the way she reacted about the same possibility for me?
[She stabs at the ice cream.]
I'm not blind. I love them both, and I don't doubt that they love me, too, but it's not...the same. There's a hierarchy, there always is. I'm not going to wake up with five followers and nobody is crying for me.
I've barely stopped planning since the minute this game started. My plans aren't working. I'm totally out of ideas. Apologizing about mistakes I've made? Nothing. Making up with Sincerity? Nothing. Networking? Nothing, nothing, nothing.
[She takes a minute to have more ice cream.]
Don't get me wrong, I, like, am glad I did those things either way. It felt...nice. To be nice, I mean. But that hasn't changed that I keep sliding farther and farther backward.
[ . . . and senri takes a second to think about that as he also takes a bite of ice cream.]
.... you've done well, Dizzy. I know you're trying your hardest. I hope you keep trying, because I think... well, you've at least made me and Cheri happy by getting around to being nicer.
Even if it doesn't look bright right now, I think it'll pay off in the long run - like, the long, long run where you all have to rule a world together.
Don't beat yourself up; I'm tougher than a lot of people. But maybe it's because I've already had a near-death experience. It's almost like, whatever, you know?
.... I don't want you to have to feel that... We've taken care of the people who've wanted to kill gods so far, but I'm worried that someone else might get some bad ideas this week.

I do hate him.
I hate him a whooooole lot. I don't think you can be blamed for that.

Hating him doesn't change anything! He's going to die on Monday!

... I'll cry for you - well, maybe not actually, because that might get people to think that you cursed me or something.
But I'm gonna try and see who I can get, Dizzy.
no subject
[She shoves the ice cream carton away and pinches the bridge of her nose, eyes closing.]
You're wasting your time. Just have fun partying with Sincerity and Beauty, instead.

[he frowns]
Don't try to push me away when I'm trying to be here for you. Guilt tripping isn't nice.
no subject
Oh, come on. I'm not pushing you away and I'm not guilt tripping you. I'm being realistic.
no subject
[though he'll shake his head and get up to get a spoon so that he can share ice cream with her]
We can try to brainstorm ways to make it better? Would that help?
no subject
[She puts her hand against her cheek as she watches him get his spoon.]
Brainstorm what? Ways to not follow in Ruin's footsteps?

It's just when you think you're in the clear that some other problem surfaces.
