GODLY AUDIENCES: RAY

[divus]

And that kind of attitude is exactly why you all should count on me for all your favors.

[selfimmolates]

I'll keep that in mind. You're looking more and more impressive by the moment, y'know?

[anyway.]

So, what would I have to do for something like that? Would it be tied to an item or something like that—in case I bite it before I ever get to use it?

[divus]

I know, right?

[He's so nice!]

Since it'll be a one-use-one-of-a-kind-only item, doesn't matter who uses it. I won't be able to make the same thing again even for anyone else.

[He can be lenient but then there's giving out multiple advantages all at once...]

Alright, here's what I'm thinking. I wanna start spreading out my wings, really showing people the perks of being on Team I.N.D. If you get five people to come and see me--and they don't have to bother with offerings other than saying "Ray sent me"--I'll count that as your favor fulfilled. You can even tell them I'll give them a little something for making good on the visit. A "thanks for taking the time" sort of reward.

[selfimmolates]

I can do that. Does it have to be people who haven't already met you, or...?

[divus]

That's the ideal. I know you'll be running blind but the less of an idea they already have of me, the better.

[IT'S LIKE HE KNOWS HE'S INSUFFERABLE???]

[selfimmolates]

[INDULGENCE.....]

So it'd be cheating to ask you whom you've already met, huh.

[divus]

Or just gauging their reaction in conversation. But I can give you a thumbs up or thumbs down either way.

[And we can handwave that so we don't mutually kill each other with pcs.]

[selfimmolates]

Well, I'll get to work, in that case.

... So do your followers have an easier time of getting rewards from you?

[divus]

Well, yeah! Of course! Anyone who sticks with me gets prime access to the perks.

[Bc actually sticking around with this piece of work deserves to be rewarded weekly.]

[selfimmolates]

I'll admit that's pretty tempting...

[i hate that he's seriously considering it]

[divus]

I need to start an advertising campaign. I don't think anyone's realizing just how good it is to be on my team.

[selfimmolates]

Mm-hmm.

[IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE PICKY AS HELL!!]

... Also, can Water Into Wine be used to turn something into acid?

[what]

[divus]

Concerning in how specific that question is, but yeah. Anything goes as long as it's liquid--doesn't matter if it's meant for consumption or not.

[selfimmolates]

I'm just gauging how useful your powers might be in defending myself, since it's one of my considerations for whom to switch to next week.

[divus]

Acid, scalding hot water, pepper spray...your options are as endless as your creativity.

[selfimmolates]

Good to know. That's surprisingly useful.

[divus]

Believe it or not, I'm not all fun and games. I did put thought into my powers--I want to win.

[selfimmolates]

And Animal Magnetism is for...?

[divus]

Let's say it came to me in a dream.

[He makes an expansive gesture over his head.]

Sounds silly, but imagine the kind of intel you might get if you're posing as, I don't know, an adorable kitten or something. People love to share their secrets to dumb animals. Also, you can give yourself wings, or turn someone else into a creature that keeps them out of your way when you might need it the most.

[selfimmolates]

[you're looking at the guy everyone was worried would stab beauty's dog.]

... I guess you have a point.

[divus]

I always have a point.

[Even when he seems as dull as an overused eraser.]

[selfimmolates]

Mm-hmm.

Well, thanks for your time. If I do defect to you, can I expect that protection item?

[divus]

No promises until you're here for real!

[But most likely.]
