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.

[usogi]

Mm... Okay. I'll do that.

[he nods]

Is there anything else that you think I should tell a lot of people about? If I have their attention for a second, I wanna make it count!

[divus]

Hm...Senri, have you spoken to any of the other gods about forming alliances amongst ourselves?

[usogi]

Waaaaay back when - sort of. It was more of a 'can't there just be alliances where if you and Cheri team up together, we vote for you both at once' type of thing?

But I know that some gods are teaming up.... Are you allying with anyone?

[divus]

...Indulgence. [He sounds exhausted a little, but.] Mizuki-san and Majima-san asked if I would consider it, and I didn't see a reason not to. I believe Mizuki-san's speaking to Piety about it as well.

[usogi]

[ . . . . senri just looks

quietly tired]

Really? You know that's going to actually make you less popular, given how few people actually like Indulgence.

[GODS CAN'T SEE OTHER GODS' AUDIENCES, SENRI DOESN'T BOTHER PRETENDING HE'S NOT TIRED]

[divus]

I'm aware, which is why I'm hoping Piety agrees. Likewise, I believe it will make me seems charitable to align with him when he's so...very much himself.

[usogi]

Charitable but... I trust you with a new world, but not so much him, you know? I think he's not as bad as everyone says. We get along fairly well, but...

[he frowns]

Having you would at least be nice to temper everything....

[ . . . ]

What does it mean? If gods make alliances? Because Sieg-kun thought that you, Cheri, and Love would be a good alliance... I agree.

[divus]

Well this is why I made the agreement that I would still be higher up in the hierarchy than he would be. Just in case.

...I don't quite know what it means yet. I suppose it would depend on the alliance, how big it was, and how likely people are to share what it is why're contributing.
