How many people are doing that?

[divus]

[grumbles]

Not very many...

[bakaomi]

That seems to be the trend...

How did you upset Shiki, anyway?

[divus]

People are deciding whether we're good or bad just based on our names. It's ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous.

[someone's salty]

She didn't like that I was willing to do certain things to win this game. And before you ask, no, I didn't ask her to kill anyone. I just said we needed to make people realize I'm a better choice than the other gods. She said it sounded like we were going to be spreading rumors about them, and it meant she needed to think about how ambitious she was feeling.

[she rolls her eyes behind her mask, and you can practically hear it in her voice.]

Please. If she'd lived past the weekend I totally could have convinced her that's not what I meant, but that jerk Itachi decided to go after her before I could.

[bakaomi]

[ oh my god... the salt... ]

What did you mean then?

[ look he sat through disorder's side of the chuuya story so like. he can sit through ambition's. ]

[divus]

Literally all I meant was that we need to show that Ambition is a better choice for people who actually want to win. It's, like, right there in the name!

She's the one who decided there had to be some deeper meaning to my words.

[bakaomi]

Yeah, I know people who are scared of you because of that.

[ senri. he means senri. ]

Still, at least not everyone was put off.

[divus]

[Ambition lets out a frustrated little huff.]

It could be worse, but it could be better too. I'm going to have to really step up my game to get more followers next week.

[bakaomi]

Any plans?

[ he asks, while not offering to help, ]

[divus]

There are a few people I might try talking to.

[She eyes Takaomi for a moment.]

...you're not planning on changing gods anytime soon, are you.

[It's not a question.]

[bakaomi]

Nope.

[ glad they got that cleared. ]

[divus]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[ugh.]

[bakaomi]

Want me to pat your shoulder?

[divus]

I don't want your pity.

[bakaomi]

That's fine. I didn't really want to give it.

[divus]

Hmph. Is there anything you actually did want? You made me an offering for a reason, didn't you?

[bakaomi]

It was mostly just to talk. I can hear everyone tell me their opinions on you, but I can't really just rely on their word for it.

[divus]

And you shouldn't. Do you have any idea how few of you have actually spoken to me?

[bakaomi]

... every time one of you tells me that I get more concerned.

[ it's

it's too many gods saying this ]

[divus]

Most of you are only talking to the gods you chose, or not talking to any of us at all. It's totally ridiculous.

[bakaomi]

Not even to their own god?

[ ??????????? ]

[divus]

Right? How stupid is that? You'd think that would be the first thing you all would so.

[bakaomi]

It'll be easier to find out their reasoning...

[ but getting people to fuckin admit which gods they've spoken to is not taka's strength, as he has no friends ]

[divus]

Assuming you can get them to talk to you, anyway.

[they both seem to have trouble with that]

[bakaomi]

[ taka literally gets along with the gods better than the other participants and that's terrible ]

... if I can't then the shitty rabbit probably can.
