Thanks. [She perks up a little at that, actually taking a cookie from the plate to take a bite as she pushes the plate toward Ray.] I know this place doesn't look like much and maybe it's not as fun as Indulgence's wing, but it's still really important to me. I used to live here. [...] Like the town, but also in this shop.
[She knew she could count on Ray, but she holds back her laughter anyway.] It's fun. Sometimes people just wanna let loose and dance. Nothing wrong with that.
[But she nods and gestures to a door toward the back that leads elsewhere.] When I took my hiatus, I moved to Inaba to live with my grandma. This is her shop. She usually handled everything, but I helped her when she needed me to.
You'd think. But there's a reason I'm hosting with him instead of somebody else.
[There's a thoughtful hum as she finishes the cookie in her hand.] ...I forgot how peaceful this place is when things aren't going on. Inaba's always been a quiet place though. Maybe I just forgot how much I was really leaving behind once I ascended.
It's exactly what it sounds like. I don't remember a lot of it, but...it's kind of like how you guys got here? We were just called to ascend by some weird cosmic force or something, and when we accepted we became gods, got our new names and our new powers. A lot of us ascended right after something really important happened in our mortal lives, but some of us just happened to be called early.
There's no, like, supreme overlord or anything watching over the pantheon. But we could have said no if we wanted to.
Yeah, well. Maybe I'm used to weird? At first I thought it was because of my Persona having some weird spiritual connection thing, but then the others showed up and that didn't make sense anymore. [She can acknowledge that much.]
We've been kind of trying to figure it out, too. But I think we've all accepted it pretty well.
...some of us think about it sometimes. If we made the right choice saying yes. I was pretty sure I had until Yu-senpai showed up, but even now I still think so. And godhood isn't so bad.
I just have to make sure I'm still winning so that everyone's wishes come true.
That's because she has a power that lets her cheat. [Oh look who's still mad about Advancement Opportunity.]
But that's right! It's an option I'm hoping the winning god will actually allow. It'll depend who that is. It doesn't make sense not to try when all of you have been working really hard here.
Knowing her it's going to depend on if she thinks people have earned it. Disorder might not be for it either, or Indulgence.
...of the gods I have good enough relationships with, I can be confident in saying Beauty, Piety, Sincerity, Merriment, Justice and myself would be all for it. I feel like Disorder and Indulgence might be leaning toward no, depending, same with Ambition, and I never know how Cunning feels about anything.
...Fortune would have been for it, I think. Ruin obviously not.
We love you too. [An eyeroll.] ...it's because of people like you and Zoe and Takaomi-kun and Senri-kun that more of you are reaching out to us now. I think that's great.
Some people are pretty set in their ways and their gods. And some people don't even care about their gods because they want to win. [A shrug.] It's the only problem with competitions like this.
Exactly. Nonon had a plan but...I might ask Senpai to do it instead. Defect to Ambition and use Advancement Opportunity against them in the last week of the game.
You'll be patrolling Thursday night, right? If you do see a murderer, how're you going to bring it up in the trial without outing your own alignment? You played it smart making everyone think you were with Justice last week, but I don't know if the same trick will work twice.

That sounds weird as hell, actually.

I figured you'd be all for it. I'm guessing Ambition might be less keen on it?

It'll depend on who and what I see. In any case, a worrying large amount of people seem ready to believe in just about anything I say.

...and I'm running the trial this weekend. I'll help you where I can.
