[bakaomi]

... hm.

[ he'll consider that. ]

Can I ask you something?

[ he knows he can, but he doesn't just want to leap right into a question that's off topic ]

[divus]

[It's enough for Merriment to turn his head and look at him.]

Sure. What is it?

[bakaomi]

... I have two, actually.

Want to hear the one that might be easier for you to answer or the other one?

[divus]

...okay. We can go in that order. [Taka should he be concerned??]

[bakaomi]

Okay.

First, can you tell me what your special skill is?

[divus]

[Ah.]

"Seeing possibilities." ...I can see the potential in situations and the good that can come from things.

[If he sounds a little confused it's because he sure is.] Haven't quite figured out how to really use that yet.

[bakaomi]

Why do other people get straightforward shit like "items"?

[ that is....

so vague. ]

[divus]

Nothing has ever been straightforward for me so why should this be any different? [Lmao yeah he's. Annoyed too.] I get it but using it is the tricky part.

[bakaomi]

How does it work...?

[divus]

...it's sort of based on belief. If someone comes to me with a thought or an idea I have a better sense than most if it's worth pursuing and following through. I can't tell you specifics like names, but I can advise and pick the best possible routes. It works for me, too. If someone approaches me with an offer or a plan I can tell what good and bad potential will come from it.

[bakaomi]

... huh.

[ he taps his chin. ]

That's useful. Still vague as fuck, but.

[divus]

Tell me about it. [He should be telling Taka not to swear but whatever.] I haven't had to use it for any of you yet though.

[bakaomi]

Have you told any others about it yet?

... although you probably can't tell me that.

[divus]

Nope. Nobody has asked. [Apparently he's allowed to say.]

[bakaomi]

....

[ SIGHS ]

[divus]

[A chuckle.] Believe it or not I don't get as many people summoning me as, say, Love or Sincerity. I don't think many people know we have skills either.

[bakaomi]

Did more people come cause you were hosting, or...?

[divus]

Yup. I think that was the intention, but I think most people were focused on Justice. [The tone suggests this doesn't bother him in the slightest.] It's what host weeks are for, Taka. We put ourselves out there to give you guys an easier way to talk to us and try to sway the numbers. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't.

[bakaomi]

I'd prefer if it worked...

[ taka is a bitch and less forgiving.... ]

[divus]

...it worked enough. Trust me. [But that's all he says.] You still have another question don't you? [Gentle prompting.]

[bakaomi]

...

It's about the voice from that hole.

[divus]

[...yeah good thing Taka started with the other question.] ...okay. What about it?

[bakaomi]

I heard you tell someone else that the west wing was your doing. How it was designed this week.

... so why was that there?

[divus]

...it's mine, yeah. Did you take a look yourself or just hear about it?

[bakaomi]

I checked it out. It was a kid's voice.
