I haven't seen any dead bodies raining from the sky, just um, those knives.

So I think it's going better.

[Also he hasn't died this time!]

[divus]

Well, hopefully we'll keep it that way.

[hopefully knives are the only thing... that will get yeeted...]

[heartmunculus]

[Knives... and cups...]

I guess that's up to the participants to decide.

[divus]

Isn't everything?

[heartmunculus]

... Is anything besides the rules up to gods?

[divus]

Until this game is over? No... not really. Even some of the punishments for breaking the rules are up to Justice's followers, if they're the ones who made them.

[heartmunculus]

Is that frustrating for you?

[That's so little power for somebody who's a god.]

[divus]

It's ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. We can't even step in and stop it if someone we like is going to be--

[...

why can't she just learn to shut up.]

Well. You know.

[heartmunculus]

You can't stop a killer and you can't defend somebody who could die.

... Somehow having your hands tied like that seems worse.

[divus]

All we can do is watch. We can't even say who did it - well, I can hint at it, but that still relies on you guys figuring it out. Ugh, it's the worst.

[heartmunculus]

Like saying the culprits were good actors last week...

Can all the gods give hints, or is it just you?

[divus]

It's supposed to be just me. Trial commentary is a little different, I guess.

[heartmunculus]

Are hints your specialty? I think Love's is breaking curses.

[divus]

Yes, that's right. I can give hints about the things that even the other gods aren't allowed to talk about. There are some things even I can't say, but -

[Is it that she never learned to shut the fuck up

or that her skill is not shutting the fuck up?]

[heartmunculus]

[Is that her specialty because it was her choice or is it because she straight up can't stop talking...]

Did you give hints when you were a mortal too?

[divus]

[that is a really good question]

People could, like, always figure out what was going on if they listened to me when I was a mortal, sooo...

[heartmunculus]

I guess you really knew your stuff even back then.

[divus]

Oh, obviously. Why wouldn't I?

[heartmunculus]

Sincerity said some of you were normal before becoming gods.

Did you run a newspaper?

[divus]

What? No. I was the daughter of my city's mayor. I knew everyone and everything important.

[heartmunculus]

... That would also leave you well connected.

Did a lot of things happen where you lived?

[divus]

Way more things than I have enough time to list. But if I didn't know about them? They weren't worth knowing.

[heartmunculus]

Was it hard keeping track of all that information?

[divus]

Of course not, I'm amazing.

[heartmunculus]

[There's a pause like he's considering that statement before he nods.]

If you can keep track of everyone and everything, you really are.
