[bakaomi]

I dunno. I've only laughed once?

[ which is once more than like every other conversation he has had here ]

[divus]

That sounds like a challenge.

[challenge: accepted]

You'll have to talk to me more so I can try and make you laugh again!

[bakaomi]

Hm...

[ he seems to be considering it... ]

Deal. If you manage you can claim a prize.

[divus]

All right! And to make it fair...

[because fairness matters, apparently??]

If we have three more conversations and I don't make you laugh, you can claim a prize from me.

[bakaomi]

[ he holds his hand out ]

Deal.

[divus]

[Fortune holds their hand out to shake his.

The hand is small and delicate=looking, and definitely looks like a girl's hand, but the fingers are calloused.]

Deal!

[bakaomi]

[ and the deal has been made. ]

We'll see if you deserve the role of funniest god.

[divus]

[did taka make a deal with the devil? only time will tell]

I do, you'll see!

[bakaomi]

[ i hope so please fuck him up ]

... can I ask something else?

[divus]

You can ask me anything.

[will fortune be able to answer? that's the question.]

[bakaomi]

How do you think the game is going so far?

[divus]

...I'm not happy about the fact that we had to have a trial already, if that's what you mean.

[fortune is not particularly glad about murder]

But I think it's... still too early to say. The same person is in the lead as last week, but I noticed something that worried me. Even though one of her followers was taken out of the game and even though most of you don't seem to like her very much, Ambition still has the same number of followers as last week. That means someone decided to join her.

[...]

I didn't expect that.

[bakaomi]

... it would have been a Justice or Indulgence follower, right?

[ going by who has less followers ]

I'm surprised too, especially after Shiki wanted to leave Ambition so bad.

[divus]

I can't say.

[Godly rules and all... because there's also the chance there might have been other swaps, too. Maybe someone from Fortune joined Ambition, and someone from Justice or Indulgence joined Fortune, etc.]

...but I don't spend much time with Ambition. She's... [mmmm] I don't like her very much.

[bakaomi]

Why not? I know she's not very popular, but I've gotten vague details as to why.

[ the god drama... ]

[divus]

She spends a lot of time with Disorder and Cunning, and they're... dangerous.

[and then, mumbled:]

Also, she told me my hair looks stupid.

[bakaomi]

[ listen, he will definitely comment on the disorder and cunning thing in a minute, but first, ]

... what does your hair look like?

[ for once he's not being a dick

everyone calls his hair stupid this is #relatable ]

[divus]

It's--

[Fortune is trying to answer, really.

But apparently the same rules that prevent her from taking off her mask and showing him also prevent her from describing it. She makes a frustrated little noise and crosses her arms.]

...apparently, I can't answer that yet.

[bakaomi]

Tch. It's not like I'd know your identity just from that...

[ oh well. he shrugs. ]

Your hair's probably fine.

[divus]

Some of the others were worried about looks swaying people into joining them... I guess that's why.

[uuugh! annoying.]

Thank you, though.

[bakaomi]

[ flashback to beauty's I'M BEAUTIFUL.... BUT THERE'S MORE TO ME.... ]

You'd think having a bad personality would be enough to outweigh that...

[divus]

Some of us are better at faking it than others.

[bakaomi]

Are you secretly one of them?

[divus]

If I am, you'll never find out!

[bakaomi]

I dunno.

Maybe I can figure it out.
