GODLY AUDIENCES: SENRI

[divus]

I've never doubted that.

What ideas do you have so far then? [...he also gestures to both the bed and the chaise. Have a seat wherever.]

[usogi]

[senri will settle just for a seat on the edge of the bed, and swing his legs back and forth]

... first, I think I know what I'd like to ask, from that favor.

[divus]

[He'll swing around in his seat at the desk so he's facing him. Antoinette appears to be curled up at his feet, asleep, and he's being careful not to accidentally kick her.]

Oh? Alright then. Let's hear it.

[usogi]

... I don't know if Ray-kun actually asked Love for a favor to do this, or if he just asked but -

If something happens to me, please take care of letters I need sent, and something I need looked after.

The letters are straightforward but...

[senri will pull out his phone]

I don't know how soon you'll be able to get this - after something happens to me, or after the trial, but I'd like it in your safekeeping until someone can come pick it up. Like how I asked for Mr. Mew after everything....

[divus]

Oh. [That's not what he expected, but okay.]

If it's evidence-based, it would be after the trial, but I'll pick it up after that. I believe Lady Love simply did it for him in the first place, so likewise I can as well.

[usogi]

[senri manages a little huff at that]

Mm... Yeah, I guess it would be evidence. [senri taps his chin thoughtfully] I guess I'll need to negotiate for a nice case with someone....

[and senri shakes his head]

... Ray-kun was always thinking twelve steps ahead. I'll be lucky if I can manage two - but I don't want to be caught by surprise, in case anything happens.

[divus]

I think that's a smart way to approach this. Am I correct to assume the others are also putting systems into place for the future?

[usogi]

They're twice as smart as I am, so I figure they are. I'll ask anyway.

I think they all know I'm sitting on the most information... I just don't want it all to disappear if something were to happen to me.

[divus]

Ah, yes, you continue to give yourself less credit than due.

You are a grand source of information...most people come to you for knowledge now, do they not?

[usogi]

That's not... I don't think that's true....

A lot of the reason why Ray-kun and I worked is because no one knew what I was doing but... I can't keep hiding like that anymore.

[ . . . ]

I think... I might as well share what I know all at once - do you think I could still use your theater this week?

[divus]

...regardless of method, I'll do as I can to support you just as I always have. The theater is yours for whatever you need.

[usogi]

[cutie.... senri just smiles]

Then... I'm going to let everyone know - everything they might've missed. About how the game came to be, about how it's important to believe in a god's vision to make the world come true, about how we can still work together to create the best possible world if we just want to try and put numbers together.

It'll just be a little story, but an important one.

[divus]

They're bound to listen. We'll sell tickets and everything. [And by sell he means make sure people know about it.]

...though this may be the week to speak to us and find what information you may be missing. Just in case.

[usogi]

[he's

leaning in

and putting on his sweetest expression]

.... hint please! ♥

[divus]

...[He just beeps his nose instead with the tip of his finger.]

Did you happen to receive any letters this week?

[usogi]

[hee ♥

senri laughs]

Two. One from Chuuya-san, one from Fortune. I got one from Passhi the week before.

I don't really get why they were on napkins...

[divus]

Don't you wonder where they came from? Or how they were able to get to you?

[usogi]

Well, it's...

Fortune said that Passhi would have to be the one to send it, right? They were kind of weird-looking... It was different from the letter that I got from Passhi herself.

Indulgence was the one who passed them out - so does Passhi send letters to the gods that are hosting?

[divus]

It's entirely possible, yes.

And what do you suppose that really means, if Patience is the one among those who have passed on?

[usogi]

[ . . . . . this is one of those moments where senri falters

because he can't come up with an answer right away, but he's sure ray would've been able to.

but... it's tamaki. so he supposes it's alright, if he messes up the first guess. and second, third, fourth....]

... she's hosting on the other side? Mm, she said that from the start though...

[divus]

...truthfully, I've never been quite sure what that means. I know why we host for you, but if it's the same people every week...why does she need to?

[And because he's Tamaki, he's lifting a hand to tuck back some of Senri's hair so he can see his face better.] I don't know much about her.

[usogi]

[senri is gay and needy and leans into the touch, because of course he does]

... yeah. That's what everyone's saying. I don't know either. I should write back to her - I'll do that today. Pippin is pretty good at sharing insight about people right... I'll ask him.

Is it just because someone needs to take care of everyone on that side...? The gods didn't talk about what she'd be doing while you were all playing?

[divus]

If we did talk about it, it wasn't very clear to me, no. All I remember is that she was a neutral party and she would be sitting out of this competition.

Piety would know best, I think. But she's always struck me as a little...[He's hesitant to say it, so he goes quiet for a moment.] I can't quite put a finger on why.

[usogi]

[ . . . . and senri nods]

Mm.

I trust you.

I... I guess I just don't know what to do about it, from over here.

[divus]

I suppose asking around and seeing who else received letters may be a good start. Comparing those notes, seeing if anything's different.
