Eh, you know, never really thought about not having anyone when there's always been people around to take care of things for me--me having been an Emperor and all.
[This probably explains so much about him.]
Some people might say being an orphan builds character!
[It's not his fault he's had no positive influences in his life, Senri!!!]
Well, that's all in the past now, so why be jealous? It's not like there's anyone in my life like that anymore. Look, everyone can call me an idiot if they want but I'm not half as blind as one might think. I know when I'm unwanted. And trust me, I am.
[Indulgence reorients the two of them as Senri's foot stumbles.]
Yeah, yeah, sure. But you know, wanting someone to be safe doesn't necessarily mean much. I've lost five followers, so what's one more? How many people wanted to keep Fortune safe? How many people like that kid Piety, but he hasn't regained a single follower in weeks.
[he's also a little surprised that he wasn't scolded for missing the step?]
I think.... it's complicated. A lot of people like Beauty, but he's down to one this week too. It's the difficult thing about this game. No matter how many gods I like, there's still only one of me... you know?
Maybe since you're making yourself more visible this week, you'll have more luck. People might've gotten discouraged when you turned down their offerings....
[He's immediately heated, clearly, this has been on his mind. Finally, he brings their tango to a close and starts pacing, arms flailing wildly as he speaks.]
There's something that really chafes me about how she and cunning keep getting all the followers even though people are being forced off their teams by her followers. Like, what gives, right?
Right? I made great powers that people would like, and I provide so many amazing things, and I've been giving out items practically for free, and for what? You play nice and it's not good enough, but you play not-nice and you're defamed! I just can't win--this game's a farce!
Yeah, well that was before we started playing it. And now that it's in action, it's clearly not working. We should've trashed it and reworked the whole thing after the first couple of weeks.
I mean - yeah, it's a game where you might not get to be in charge of everyone else at the end of this. But that doesn't mean you're a loser. You're still a god?
It's all relative. I'm a god, so I'm not a loser in the grand scheme of things, but now that we're putting ranks on things, that means that there's still a loser god among gods.

Me too.

Well... I guess you'd know that, being a god and all.

god senri hates rich people.

But I'm glad you were taken care of like that.

.... that's not true. Ogou-san would be upset if something happened to you.
I would be, too. [ . . . ] I know I lied before, but it wasn't anything personal. I... did a lot of that in the beginning.
I still want you to be safe...

[Gosh!]
Everyone here is so unforgiving. Disorder didn't get anything out of hosting, so I'm not so sure I'm feeling all that confident in my chances.

I'm working on helping Dizzy get back on people's good sides - but if this week isn't kind to you, I'll try to figure out how to help you too.
