[how to say "well sasuke might kill everyone if you don't win"...]
Want help with that?

I can't say for sure. Then again, Disorder managed to get another follower even though Chuuya was badmouthing her every chance he got last trial, and you're way better than her.
[Right now he just kind of has a cube situation going on.]
You think so? Disorder isn't nice, but...she's actually pretty smart, and confident, and she doesn't look like a freak like I do. Can I really do enough to make people believe in me without having any of those traits, myself?
To be honest, with the masks, you all look a little weird to us. In any case, while smarts and confidence are her weapons to utilize, you have strengths of your own.
Let's start with the practical: all of the gods have specialties in this competition, right? What's yours?
Right. You already know mine--I can make exceptions to rules. That means adding an addendum or giving someone some kind of pardon to a minor extent...but I can't reverse punishments for previous infractions. I can only make sure someone doesn't get punished before they break the rule.
You're the rule guy, and let's face it, people aren't going to stop breaking the rules here. So that's one way that you're constantly involved in our lives here, if you aren't host.
That's a step, yes. One of the obstacles you're facing right now is that you're technically complicit in all the killing going on—and some people probably feel like you aren't on our side.

I know you voted in favour of this. But I was also told you were threatened into it, right?
[Justice can't help sounding ashamed, his hands coming up to the sides of his head.]
I was really, really scared...but I should have just stood my ground. I know it's all my fault that any of this is happening, so that's why...I want to make up for it now as much as I can.
[Getting back to work on creating fixtures for his sand house, he thinks.]
But she's always been pretty nice to me. She has a bright smile, and pats me on the head! I just think she's just an introvert, and she seems to get along better with boys than with other girls.
I don't think it's that big of a deal. She doesn't really have a vision for the world like we do, so she doesn't want to be a leader. I don't think anyone should have to be a leader if they don't want...
[Justice brings his hands up to his mouth as he thinks, swaying from one foot to another.]
I think she'd said something about...high rewards warranting high risk? That maybe people would take it as seriously as possible that way, instead of trying to take advantage? I don't think she anticipated that people would actually jump to killing just because it ended up being allowed...none of us did.

How can you use that to your advantage?

... Justice. What can you tell me about Patience? Though it seems like none of you know her very well...

What do you think about her choosing not to participate?
