Mm, I'm afraid we can only grant you the things we've offered already. But we are allowed to grant favors to those who do favors for us. An equal exchange, if you will.
[Beauty props their head up with their hand again and seems to mull on the answer though.]
I suppose I can't really imagine what I'd do with all of that power either. Before this, the world was ruled by a simple guideline. Lineage comes first, wealth a close second. Power was built on those factors, but here....well. I suppose I have to make a name for myself, don't I? [The tone they use can only be described as thoughtful.]
In a game like this, my goal is to provide a service to those who seek something simpler to ease their mind from the activities going on around them. The goal of each day should be some form of satisfaction, to have a good day even in the face of something ugly. If I can change things here to provide a bit of hope and guidance, then perhaps that's enough.
As for the world...a world where everyone may follow their heart's truest desire is the kind of world I'd like to see. [They seem to know that's idealistic, but:] I believe even the most lost of souls can be guided to something refined and beautiful if a hand is extended and their world view expands. Sometimes it only needs to be one person.
Oohh. Then do you have any favors you want granted? I want to do it in a show of good faith, you know? Even if you're not my god, I want to help you too, if I can.
[though... he pauses briefly at the explanation. lineage first and wealth second - just like shinonome, huh. he thinks about the third years and their crazy prestige, and of touji who tries so hard to be at the top of his class. senri wonders if beauty would outrank him just like the rest of his classmates.]
.... I think I would.
[and he laughs briefly]
It's a nice idea. For everyone to be able to reach what they want if they just work hard enough, and learn more about the people around them....
If something like that could be real, I think it would be really - beautiful.
Think you could do some deliveries for me? I have my own show of good faith I wish to display, but being unable to appear without reason makes it a bit difficult.
[But there's a moment's pause as Beauty studies Senri, waiting for an answer and...yes. That's an answer they're satisfied with, and the light tone returns.]
Hard work is an admirable thing, and yet sometimes not always noticed. In an ideal world, I'd like to allow the freedom for those in it to break out of their expectations and have the capabilities to do more than what they've been born into. [They wave a hand.] Planning big engagements take time, Little Rabbit. I'd like to stay in this game as long as possible to give myself enough time to extend my hand to others and create the plans necessary for a world as pure and bright as those souls that will inhabit it.
[he agrees to this too readily and i hope he hates it]
Mm! If you're able to extend your hand more, and find people who will take it - let me know. I think it'd be best if you and Cheri could work together. Then I wouldn't have to choose, you know?
[There's a moment they move their long limbs to reach for the vase of roses, carefully pulling them out to hand to Senri. They're also thornless.]
Select twelve recipients for these roses and send them my best regards. Twelve who will be open to receiving them, and twelve who may wish to come visit with me.
[Have fun.] You'll still have to choose, I'm afraid. But Sincerity's goals are equally important. Perhaps we can work together in the end after all.
[oh shit. senri's eyes go big at the roses even as he's also like. super excited to receive them??? he smells them because of course he does before offering a smile up to beauty]
I can do that - definitely. When's the favor done on my end? After I give them all out, or do I have to make sure they all come back to you?
[Senri can't see it, but there's a smile behind the mask.]
Giving them out will be enough. I'll know an effort was made. [Though perhaps they should warn him:] Forgive me if in the end it's a favor my powers won't allow, but I'll do my best, too.

Can gods only grant the powers that are listed for everyone to see - or is there more to the game?
[he tilts his head]
And I want to know about the world you want to see too... I can't imagine what I'd do with all that power, you know?

Until then...is there anything else you wish from me?

You call me Little Rabbit... so I feel like I should have a name for you too.
Do you have anything you want to be called?
no subject
...Beauty will have to do for now, I'm afraid. But ask me again and I'll have an answer.

[he seems discouraged for a second before offering up a smile]
Then no, I think that's all I have for now. Thanks for making time for me, Fairest of Them All.
[he's working around it for now]

But of course. Come again soon.
