GODLY AUDIENCES: RAY

More or less. Six weeks, six chances to shuffle the numbers.

[Giving plenty of time for it to become anyone's game, regardless of the disadvantages suggested by starting numbers.]

[selfimmolates]

Do you think they'll change much after this week?

[though he's not expecting piety to be able to answer that.]

[divus]

This is only my personal thoughts.

[Look if Piety gives that preface nobody can say that they broke any rules!]

I believe at least one of the gods with the majority of numbers will likely lose followers very quickly...but it's hard to really say what will happen one way or another.

[selfimmolates]

Here's hoping you don't mean Love.

[...]

Especially since we've likely got a trial coming up, huh?

[divus]

[Here's to hoping!]

That's about as much as I can say about my own opinions, but...out of the three leading teams, I'm sure by now you've started to grasp their individual attitudes and therefore how each of them may be received.

[selfimmolates]

Yup. Now it just depends on my fellow participants' attitudes.

[divus]

So it does.

[Piety nods their head.]

Although I'm sure some of us will take greater measures to involve themselves, there's ultimately nothing that any of us can do to override your free will. I wish more of us respected the sanctity of that power of choice.

[selfimmolates]

To be honest, I'm actually a little surprised at how open-minded a lot of you are as gods.

[divus]

Maybe it's because we all still remember what it was like to be mortal. Maybe someday in the distant future, that will change...but I hope not.

[Piety's hands clench together, almost as if in silent, desperate prayer.]

With all my heart, I hope not.
