[HE'S UP A TREE SPYING ON THE REST OF THE GAME AND PLOTTING HIS EVIL PLOT.
nah he's just dicking around in the parlor, playing a song on the piano. this game was supposed to make him less bad i don't know what happened. a godly audience in a tree would be very funny though.]
Hah, I'm your favorite now? Does that mean you'll axe your other follower if I get caught this week?
Could be worse. Had this one since the beginning, at least, so like, loyalty is a plus. Just like, you know, maybe be a little bit proactive? That's why I like you so much. Never a dull moment.
Loyalty's only worth anything because it's a numbers game. If they're not willing to pull their weight, how do they expect you to win?
[He shakes his head. He's disappointed with so many people in this game.]
In any case, I'm not happy you're stuck at two, but it does look better for us this week. Since your alliance with Ruin was public knowledge and your numbers haven't changed to indicate her last remaining follower ditched for you, that should help me cover my tracks.
[Disorder crosses over to lean against the side of the piano. She's pretty disappointed, too.]
Would've been nice if Ambition could've thrown me a bone, too. Looks like a whole handful of bleeding hearts went to save him from being stuck with one follower. Oh, well. At least I have something better; I'd rather have a single ace up my sleeve than safety in numbers. Games are always more fun when they're high stakes.
If it makes you feel any better, I asked her opinion on who I should defect to after the trial. She told me to go with either you or Cunning to keep you both safe.
[Clearly he made the right call between the two.]
She gave me Hector's name in exchange for defecting to Cunning, so I thought I should include her on that decision. I lucked out that she listed you as an option, too. You were my first choice.
If I could just give powers willy nilly, I would've already done it. That way you could just cause as much trouble as possible. I'm afraid it's not that simple. Those stupid fucking rules and all.
Hell no. That would be, like, the most unfair fight ever. No followers, no godly powers. Doesn't mean she won't fight back, but she'll fight back about as much as anyone could be expected to...and ultimately, she can't stop you.
I mean there's powers and then there's godly powers, right? Some of them came from places with like, magic or whatever, so they're just naturally able to do things that have nothing to do with divinity.
[She gives a weak shrug.]
My world wasn't like that, so it's not something I really know much about.
Nooo clue. Considering her whole hangup with me wanting to approach you in the first place was that I might try and poach you...uh, yeah, I'm staying out of her way, too.
[Disorder scoffs, looking at her nails.]
Not like she'll be much of a threat for very long. And then which bitch is going to have the last laugh?
I don't know if she's an idiot, but she's too comfortable. She's never had to deal with her Machiavellian reign come crumbling down on her before, so she doesn't have any experience to draw from now. Luckily, I'm an expert at dealing with sneaky backstabbers.
There's a reason that I chose a high school as my setting. Before I graduated, you could say I was sort of the reigning Queen Bee--at least until about halfway through my Junior year. That's when everything fell to shit.
[Straight out of a movie high school drama.]
And like, I'm not just talking your average popularity drama, here. I nearly died because some bitch decided she didn't like my style. Trust me, when you've experienced that kind of underhanded scheming, you learn to adapt.

[Now she doesn't have to give Ambition a piece of her mind for playing FAVORITES. Disorder laces her fingers together under her chin.]
I'm glad that someone around here has the right attitude. Anything I can help you with this week, you just say the word.

Aren't you sweet?
[But, now that she mentions it...]
What's a guy gotta do to get an extra power or two out of you?

Bummer. But, hey, as long as no one else is getting that privilege.
[binches better not be playing FAVORITES unless he's the favorite in which case please play favorites.]
Can you tell me more about this god-killing business? Is Ruin going to be able to use her god magic on me or whatever?

So the people claiming that Fortune could use her powers last week... They were lying.

[Maybe Ruin's all bark and no bite after all, and this whole murder plan is unnecessary...
But it's still happening. The gears are already turning, and besides, he's no quitter.]
You're right, though. She'll be out of your hair soon enough.
