Comments

[usogi]

[senri pauses, and tilts his head momentarily

before perking up into a smile]

... okay. I'm gonna go ahead and grab some tissues, but do you wanna come with me to Shibuya? I'm worried you might not to be see it as well as you could with the mask on, but I think you deserve getting to do something fun.

[divus]

I can see just fine through the mask. It's not like it makes me blind.

[...]

I guess going to Shibuya is fine.

[usogi]

We can look for more hair clips for you, for when you're feeling better and will let me do your hair again.

[he offers his hand out to her]

Look good, feel good, right?

[divus]

[she takes his hand and glances off to the side]

...that's not my guideline, but yeah.

[usogi]

Probably not necessary since you always look perfect.

[HELPFULLY]

... well, how are you feeling? Do you want to talk about it?

[divus]

[petulantly:]

How do you think I'm feeling? Almost everyone left me. Whatever, I'll win them back. Or get others to take their place.

[she huffs

apparently, she doesn't stay sad for long. she just gets mad.]

I'll be back in the lead next week even without their help.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just. laughs quietly]

Mm, that's the Bambi I know!

I'm rooting for you. I'm gonna put on a show later this week... I'll make sure to try to get more people to talk to you too.

[divus]

[she sort of gives him a look like she's trying to decide if he's laughing at her or not before shrugging it off]

Will you?

[usogi]

Uh-huh.

[and he'll swing his hands with her as they head toward the wings]

... you, Pippin, and Merriment. I think all three of you need more people to talk to you. Even though you've all shown up in trial, I wonder if people have asked you about your worlds, or seen how you've grown.

[ . . . and he just shakes his head]

It feels like it's anyone's game, Bambi.

[divus]

Barely anyone who's left has asked me about that kind of thing. [she waves a hand - can't speak for Piety and Merriment, but...]

It's always, Ambition, give me a hint.

Most of you decided a long time ago you wouldn't like what I had to say about the type of world I want, so...

[usogi]

..... well, we've talked about first impressions right? It's annoying, but it's a lot of how you get viewed. Even from what Shiks told me about you....

[and he'll just give her a smile]

But things can turn around, if you just give people a chance.

So... I'll do what I can, and then you'll have to turn it around with other people like you did with me.

[divus]

If you can get them to even give me the time of day, I can definitely turn it around.

[the problem is

getting people to give her a chance]

[usogi]

Then I'll do what I can.

[ . . . ]

And - I'll still try to make sure that I only send nice people to you, so you don't need to deal with idiots anymore.

[divus]

[dryly:]

I'm not in a position to be picky. Send me anyone, even if they're an idiot.

[usogi]

What? No way - then I'll be mad if they're an idiot at you.

[divus]

How am I supposed to win over people who don't like me if they never talk to me? They might actually try to listen if you tell them to.

[usogi]

Mmph... Okay... I'll mention it at my performance on Thursday, if people ask for suggestions on gods to talk to - and I hope that people will listen.

[he pouts a little]

Just don't listen to them if they're mean! And then give me a hint on who they are so I can be mad at them!

[he doesn't want her to cry anymore!!]

[divus]

You have to do tasks in order for me to give out hints.

[a beat]

I guess if anyone actually talks to me because you tell them to, we can count that as a task.

[usogi]

Okay, it's a deal. Then let me know next week if anyone bothers you in a super annoying way.

[but for now he wants to take her to shibuya??]

For now - let's go exploring! What do you want to do? There's sweet shops, fashion stores, Cheri put in an aquarium...

[divus]

...I want to see what the fashion is like in Japan. Paris fashion is the best, of course, but maybe it won't be so bad.

[usogi]

Yeah? We should pick you out an outfit! I'm sure you'll look cute in anything.

[divus]

Of course I would. Not even bad clothes could make me look bad.

[i hate her]

[usogi]

[but she's right]

Haha, okay - then we'll play pretend. Like you're visiting me in Tokyo for a day.

[divus]

That means you have to take me to all the best spots.

[usogi]

As if I'd ever skip out on you!

Let's get dressed up first - and then we can take a bunch of cute pictures. I'll get them all printed out before I go so you can have some to keep if you want!
