Mm. I don't want to depend on my family, so it's better if I learn all of this now.

[divus]

Do you not get along with them?

[bakaomi]

They're so goddamn annoying.

[ please don't get him started on this rant he is a dumb teenager ]

[divus]

[There's a laugh. ] Fair enough. [A pause.] My parents were pretty strict...we didn't talk a lot and when I started getting busier and traveling a lot we hardly spoke at all. But I don't think there's anything wrong with breaking away early.

[bakaomi]

I know you guys had lives before this, but it's so weird to think of you guys having parents.

[divus]

Probably, huh? Gods are supposed to be these all powerful beings but I was still going to school before I was chosen. We're almost the same age. Maybe a few months apart? But I don't know if age matters now that I'm a god.

[bakaomi]

... well, do you still feel like a teenager?

[divus]

I don't really know. Maybe? I still like all of the same things I liked in my mortal life and I don't think I've earned much besides some wisdom and power.

[bakaomi]

[ he shrugs ]

Then you're a teenager.

[divus]

Is that weird?

[bakaomi]

Not really.

If you were actually a catfish then maybe.

[divus]

If I--ew, no! That seems so rude.

[bakaomi]

See?

You're good then.

[divus]

...you haven't been catfished before, have you?

[bakaomi]

-- no!

[ love is right, that is embarrassing ]

[divus]

[She's just laughing, bye.]

Just checking! [But she shrugs all the same.] We all had lives before this, more or less. Have you started asking the others about theirs?

[bakaomi]

Mm. I've gotten bits and pieces of stuff.

[divus]

It's okay. I don't know if it really matters to you guys or not...we're just gods to you, right?

[bakaomi]

I want to do this right.

[divus]

...well that's the first step. [Love sighs to themselves.] What's the right way to you? I don't know if I've ever heard it from you, personally.

[bakaomi]

You guys are trying to choose your leader, right?

I don't want you to end up with someone shitty at the job.

[divus]

Right. Neither do we. But obviously we all feel differently or this wouldn't happen. You've spoken to almost all of us now, haven't you? What do you think?

[bakaomi]

I've been mostly asking who you guys wouldn't mind winning if you lost.

[divus]

And the majority's said...?

[bakaomi]

You were some of the answers, if it helps. But I need to ask more people still.
