divus | GODLY AUDIENCES: RAY

[well, this is an improvement. thanks for not scaring the shit out of him, ruin, he's terrified enough as it is.]

... Thank Cunning for the idea.

[he's not going to mention love because watch ruin hate love.]

[laughtrack.mp3

anyway, Ruin is putting on the necklace. Offering accepted?]

I knew there was a reason he was my favorite. [She looks across the offering bowl to him and inclines her head to one side.] Sooo... you wanted something, didn't you? No one goes through all this effort for no reason.

Well, I wanted to meet the god that everyone feared so much.

[he smiles because that's his defence mechanism right now when he feels like he's walking on glass??]

[Ruin sighs.]

You're only the fourth person to come see me. And there are so many of you! How can you all be afraid of me already?

I'm not the first person who isn't a follower of yours? I was kind of hoping I was.

But people do tend to find the concept of "ruin" intimidating.

The third who isn't my follower.

[...which tbh is more than Ruin deserves]

I don't see why. There's nothing wrong with disposing of something once its time is up!

[what the fuck, and he had to go through so much trouble to figure out what to offer her. did he overthink this.]

Most people are likely afraid of being the one disposed of.

[he might have.]

There's an easy way of avoiding that!

Joining up with you?

Gaining enough power to be the one doing the disposing.

[It's said with a cute little giggle.]

I can definitely give you that power, but it's not the only way. ♡

Hehhh. In other words, kill or be killed? Is that it?

Exactly. It's the way the world works. Why shouldn't it be the same here?

Well, not everyone here is that worldly.

But speaking of which, what kind of world do you intend to rule over, if you don't mind me asking?

The type of world doesn't really matter to me. What I want is the power that comes with being the leader of the gods.

[Ruin waves a hand dismissively.]

I'll treat the people who live there very nicely. After all, they'll be worshiping me. ♡

[ruin this is why no one likes you]

Makes sense. How does being the leader of the gods work exactly?

The leader will have final say over everything. There won't be any more useless arguments like what led to all this, because everyone will have to listen to them.

[yikes]

Whoever is chosen as our leader will become more powerful, too.

[y i k e s]

No wonder you want to win. [...] Also, I have a quick question, if you're willing to answer.

What's your question, Ray-Ray? ♡

[i'm so sorry.]

[is... is that a nickname... it makes him cringe inside but that's a good sign, right??]

Dungeon's yours?

[That sure is a nickname.]

Of course it is. No one else wanted to make a place to put cute little troublemakers, so I decided to.

[hurrah.......]

Think it'll see any use?

That will depend on all of you.

[Ruin reaches into one of her sleeves and pulls out a metal ring with three keys hanging from it.]

The cells in there lock and unlock with these. If someone does something to earn one of the keys, it's theirs to use as they see fit. ♡

Rewards for your followers, huh?

[that's not concerning at all.]

Or for anyone who does me a favor.

[It's really not possible to tell behind the mask, but Ruin's voice makes it sound like she's smiling.]

I like people who take the initiative best of all. People who just sit around and wait other people to fix things for them? They're the ones who need to die.

Well, I won't argue with that. [except for the, like, die part.] If you want to win, you should make the effort.
