I think she'd listen. I just don't know that she has the experience to put it all into practice. How can I put it...
[hmm.]
I'm not sure if you really get sick, so this might not be the best example. But say you're very ill, and you need some kind of surgery. Who are you going to want to perform it? A rookie doctor with good intentions but no experience, or a doctor who's successfully done it before and knows what they're doing?
I think Love could grow into being a great god after a little time. I just don't think she's ready to run the whole show yet.
None of us have run a world before, no. Well... some of us came close.
[Sincerity... does not sound like he wants to be honest here, but that's kind of his thing, so.]
Indulgence has actually ruled over a kingdom before. Technically he has the most years of leadership experience under his belt. Piety's got experience overseeing large groups, too, and Ambition and I grew up in political families. I got really good at navigating that kind of thing, and I'm pretty sure Ambition was planning to take over her city once she was old enough to run for office.
More of us might, but those are just the ones I know about. ...oh, wait, I think Ruin had a leadership role in some kind of group.
[...]
Fortune spent some time around rulers, so she might have picked a few things up. Disorder didn't rule anything on the same scale as a city or a country, but she's got some experience in telling people what to do... I think Cunning might've had some experience with something similar. I don't know all the details there though.
[it's like word vomit]
Indulgence, well, he's been in charge since he was in diapers. But, like... hello? Diapers? I can't say he's spent his entire life ruling because how would he even remember that part? He probably just said "goo goo ga ga" and some adviser interpreted it however they wanted.
We haven't been gods for very long. A lot of us just kinda... end up bickering with each other if we're left to our own devices for too long? So you won't usually see all of us in one room.
[SHRUGS.]
Pretty sure the guy's some kind of royalty, but it's not from any country I've ever heard of.
No! [cheerfully:] That's why it's so great. He and I became really fast friends.
We'll be stuck in this world once it's all over. It's our world now, and we're bound to it. We argued a lot before because none of us could decide who'd be in charge... once I take command as the leader we'll be like a well-oiled machine.
...oh, yeah. Fortune, Piety, and Ruin are for-sure not from Earth. The others are from Earth, I think. Well... maybe Indulgence isn't. I've never seen his country on any maps.
There's nothing below here now. We'll make it, once one of us is in charge.
[Creating the wings - and in fact, even this temple itself - is practice.]
Promises are important, so hold on to that. And, no. I'm not really sure. I'm sure the guy mentioned it at some point but I wasn't listening to him. The guy knows how to party, but dang, he rambles a lot.

But this is for the sake of understanding the god's view points and the difference in all of their experiences.]
Hmm... Experience means something. But sometimes a newcomer can come in with a different perspective and might find something everyone else missed.
How many of you have experience running groups? ... I'm guessing none of you have run a world before.

So of the twelve of you competing to make the new world only four of you have experience with some kind of leadership or politics.
You said technically with Indulgence? Was he less active in ruling?

no subject
Or is it more like you can't agree with each other, so it's hard to talk for very long?
So Indulgence was somebody who was born into power? Is that royalty?
no subject
[SHRUGS.]
Pretty sure the guy's some kind of royalty, but it's not from any country I've ever heard of.
no subject
... How many of you are from Earth?
no subject
[He sounds so proud of that.]
Piety and Justice are good kids, and Love's real cute. We're not super close or anything, but I like them well enough.
A lot of us are from Earth... uhh. [He's counting on his fingers.] Actually, I think most of us are.
no subject
Aren't you all going to be stuck with each other once the world is made?
Huh... I spoke to Fortune and she said she was from somewhere else.
no subject

... I promised Love that I was going to win with her. I can't go back on that.
You can't say what that country is, can you?

I guess people who think they're important like to talk.
... Maybe I'll speak to him.
no subject
[yeet something into the clouds, sieg]
...it wouldn't hurt. He doesn't talk to that many of you, really. He's a ton of fun, but hard to approach!
no subject
[He's gonna do it. He hates holding onto it. It's just a cup right now, but the desire to just keep it away from people is so strong.
He's lasted three weeks, that's amazing.]
Does he like sweets as much as most of you?
no subject
[yeet the grail,]
He's got a sweet tooth, but you've gotta make it extra indulgent. Like, triple-chocolate-cake kind of indulgent.
no subject
[He has grail related anxieties.]
I don't know how to make that, but I'll work on it.
no subject
[INTO THE GARBAGE. or the clouds.]
You're a good baker. I'm sure you'll figure it out, Sieg-kun.
no subject
... It'll still be at home, but at least he won't be here.]
Thank you for your vote of confidence. Do you also want a slice of that cake?
no subject
Indulgence might be a little miffed if you only give him part of the cake though.
