Joining up with you?

[divus]

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. ♡

[selfimmolates]

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

[divus]

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

[selfimmolates]

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?

[divus]

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. ♡

[selfimmolates]

[ruin this is why no one likes you]

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

[divus]

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.

[selfimmolates]

[y i k e s]

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

[divus]

What's your question, Ray-Ray? ♡

[i'm so sorry.]

[selfimmolates]

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

Dungeon's yours?

[divus]

[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.

[selfimmolates]

[hurrah.......]

Think it'll see any use?

[divus]

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. ♡

[selfimmolates]

Rewards for your followers, huh?

[that's not concerning at all.]

[divus]

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.

[selfimmolates]

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

[divus]

Exactly. People don't deserve to win if they don't try.

[selfimmolates]

Hoping to weed out the passive participants, in that case?

[divus]

It's not like it's a big deal. They'll all come back later, but the sooner they're out of the way, the better.

[selfimmolates]

And if your own followers get passive?

[divus]

They know better than to do that.

[or so one would hope...]

[selfimmolates]

For their sakes, I hope they do.

[divus]

Any other questions? ♡

[selfimmolates]

... What sort of things do you like as offerings, I suppose?
