[this partnership is cancelled and senri needs to defect immediately
is what i say, but sincerity thinks senri is the bee's knees, so here they are i guess. sincerity chuckles and bows to him, over the top and overdramatic, because of course he does.]
This is our solemn promise. [god, i hate this] I'll be counting on you, Senri-kun.
[senri needs anyone that has offered him the opportunity to find his mother and that's the bottom line as far as he's concerned!
also he's lonely and sincerity is nice :'( ]
Neat!
Thennnn - Passhi said that we'd be doing a contest of lies. If it's normal lies and stuff about myself, easy, no problem - but she said we might need to make other people doubt someone's character? That's... less my style.
And you said you need the most followers so... what's the actual structure of the game like?
[he actually doesn't like making people unhappy despite being a fake bitch, so if it's just convincing people that sincerity's the best he'll just do that]
Well... how to explain... [Sincerity taps his fingers along one of his arms, then snaps his fingers at is occurs to him.] Oh, I know! It's kind of like hana ichi monme. Did you play that when you were a kid, Sen-chan?
Sincerity suddenly goes silent, because that isn't an easy question to answer. Frankly? It's not a question he likes to think about. When he does speak up again, his voice is heavy.]
The winner is decided by whoever has the most living followers at the end of this. Some of the other gods are probably going to try and get their followers to kill to make it easier for them to get a majority.
but senri will pause at that - and he thinks about it. he met a guy with a shotgun, then there's majima who's ex-yakuza, the weirdo intense brothers who might be ninjas....]
Everyone on our team. I'd like to do something for the others if I can, too, but...
[Sincerity shrugs.]
Some of the other gods? They'll send you back because they promised to, but they won't give you anything unless you helped them win. Totally uncool of them, don't you think?
So when you win - what do you get? You can grant the wishes of everyone who followed you - but if I die in the process, do I still get my wish granted?
When I win, I become the most powerful god of all.
[Leader of the pantheon, the Zeus of this ragtag bunch of morons, yadda yadda yadda.]
As long as you're still my follower when you die, I'll grant your wish. But, hey - I'd rather you didn't die. So let's think about ways to keep you alive instead of all that depressing stuff, okay?

[why is he shameless.
and he grins up at sincerity]
And I can give you one too, if you wouldn't mind!
no subject
[if he's Senchan and there's already Sanchan can Sincerity be Sinchan]
You can give me whatever nickname you please!
["as long as it's fabulous" is implied]
no subject
Ah, I like it!
Mm, it's hard to do with all your names [because they're in ENGLISH] but....
How about Cheri?
[sin-cheri-ty, but also probably pronounced the french way bc that makes it even more extra]
no subject
Very cute. I like it!
no subject
Then nothing brings me greater happiness than that, Cheri!
[and he'll finally stand, further examining his costume as he does]
Oh - but I do have some more questions, if that's okay?
no subject
[He needs Senri a lot more than Senri needs him, tbh. That's true for all the gods.]
no subject
also he's lonely and sincerity is nice :'( ]

no subject
Oh - like the game where you choose people for your side....? Is that how each god has a team - do you have other followers besides me?
no subject
[That's, uh, that's a pretty big if.]
Nobody has to get hurt as long as we recruit enough people to our team and fast.
no subject
But people can get hurt - what makes them not count in the game anymore? How bad does it have to be for them to not serve their god?
[a sprained ankle? a broken leg? are they playing by sports rules where they get taken off the field if they collide too badly? or?
senri thinks of the weapons room -
or.]

Will you try to get me to kill?
no subject
I'd prefer it if you didn't have to. [...] But some people are going to try. If it comes down to either you or them, I'd rather see you stay alive.
no subject
anyway senri is going to pause at that. and he thinks it makes sense.]
As long as you don't ask me to go out of my way to hurt someone... I'll trust you.
[and that much he'll mean sincerely. he offers up a genuine smile, weak and tinged with fear as it may be]
... no matter what, we'll all get to go home after this, right?
no subject
[Sincerity reaches over and puts a hand on Senri's shoulder.]
It's best for our team if I win, though. The winner is going to be the one with the power to grant everyone's desires.
no subject
... everyone's? Everyone in the temple, or everyone on your team?
no subject
[Sincerity shrugs.]

no subject
Don't worry, Cheri, I'm good at getting myself out of difficult situations.
[is he?]
But can you give me any hints on who your other followers are - how many people are we working with?
no subject
A moment later, he makes a clucking noise.]
One of the other gods called dibs on telling you that, so I can't say.
no subject
[and he just looks a little tired]
Mm, okay. So you do have to listen to each other on some things?
no subject
"Don't spill it all too fast" is one of them.
