[bakaomi]

Not really. It makes you more approachable, I think.

[ tbh takaomi would probably not promise to visit again so much if they seemed to only care about numbers ]

[divus]

[The god's fingers join together in the middle, both index fingers pushing against one another in a nervous little gesture.]

Why else do you think I started reaching out to people on my own? Almost all of us are starting the same, I think. I've realized it must be intimidating to do so on your own.

[bakaomi]

Uh. Not really?

[ taka is a bad judge for how intimidating it is, beauty....... ]

[divus]

...well alright not you specifically. One of my own followers hasn't even spoken to me! [This is Tragic.]

[bakaomi]

Oh.

That sucks.

[divus]

I know! [Beauty's practically falling out of his chair now.] I have to think they must be intimidated by my sheer presence, but it isn't like that! I hoped that one of my roses would find its way to them but the fates were misaligned.

How would you approach someone who didn't want to be approached? Another grand gesture? [Someone save Taka.]

[bakaomi]

...

Explain "grand gesture."

[divus]

If the roses weren't enough, perhaps a hot air balloon?

[bakaomi]

Is that a joke?

[divus]

No? Why would it be? Though now that you mention it that may be a bit hard to control over the temple...

[bakaomi]

[ oh

oh my fucking GOD ]

Isn't that too much of a jump from roses?!

[divus]

It would garner attention though... [He thought it was a good idea :(]

What do you suggest then?

[bakaomi]

Please think more carefully about the kind of attention you want to have...

[ he's tired of this conversation already ]

How do you choose who to approach?

[divus]

It's different for all of us, but for me it's anyone I find an interest in. [Which is...so many people.] Whether that's because of their actions in the temple or we have something in common, it varies.

Admittedly, I don't have much in common with my other follower, but I'm trying to understand better.

[bakaomi]

Would they have said no to the hot air balloon too?

[ taka hopes so ]

[divus]

Perhaps if it had their face on it it might have been well received...[So no, maybe not, and perhaps Beauty and his mysterious follower have more in common than they think.] A flattering image, no?

[bakaomi]

[ taka is losing a year off his life every time beauty days something like that ]

... let's go about this another way. What are things you like?

[divus]

[...? ? ?]

Music. [That's an immediate answer.] Shopping. Traveling...tea? [??? This dumb bitch doesn't have favorites, he likes everything.]

[bakaomi]

Try making a grand gesture with music.

[divus]

...I suppose that would work just as well. Disorder's created a carnivals. Perhaps when it's my turn I'll host a ball.

[bakaomi]

Well, people do like parties.

[ just no hot air balloons he'd lose his shit ]

[divus]

[Ok but now I gotta.]

I'll consider it then. My wing's already designed but I can make last-minute adjustments...it's really about whatever people might find most appealing.

[bakaomi]

I'm sure you'll do fine with it.

[divus]

With Shishimaru-kun's blessing, I'm sure I will. [No.]

...did you only come to ask why I've been kind to Senri-kun?

[bakaomi]

Huh?

[ oh my god did they spend this entire fucking time talking about senri TAKA WANTS TO DIE ]

No!
