[bakaomi]

Cool.

[ he is decidedly not freaked out. ]

[divus]

[WELL, IN THAT CASE.

The wind picks up speed as it rises around them, but it's still warm. By the time it's done, they're both more or less dry.]

Is that better?

[bakaomi]

Uh huh.

Useful trick.

[divus]

When I was younger, no one was ever able to figure out how they'd see me swimming one minute and then see me completely dry on the other side of town five minutes later.

[She sounds amused, remembering that.]

They just called it another one of my strange powers and let it go.

[bakaomi]

You really are a menace, aren't you...

[ he glances back at the river, then at fortune. ]

Though it's not really a bad thing.

[divus]

It makes life more interesting!

[So, yeah. She does not take "menace" as an insult at all.]

[bakaomi]

[ he snorts ]

... yeah, that's something a menace would say.

[divus]

[she giggles]

Is that a hint that I should stop menacing you until next week?

[bakaomi]

[ he pretends to think about it ]

Hm... you can menace me whenever you want.

[divus]

Careful! Now that you've said that you'll never be rid of me.

[ha ha.]

[bakaomi]

[ god i fucking hate you so much ]

Oh no. What will I do.

[divus]

[love u too]

I'm sure you'll come up with something. You're very smart.

[bakaomi]

Are you trying to flatter me?

[divus]

No, I'm just telling the truth.

[bakaomi]

Hmmm...

I'll believe you.

[divus]

[giggles and taps her mask]

It's because this face is completely trustworthy, right?

[this face being... the mask... not her actual face]

[bakaomi]

I just look at it and I want to tell you all my secrets.

[ it must be the flowers, obviously ]

[divus]

[it's definitely the flowers]

I'll have to keep it on even when I'm allowed to take it off, then.

[bakaomi]

Well, it's not like I wanted to see your face.

[divus]

...it's easier that way for all of you, I think. If you don't see our faces.

[bakaomi]

... it's kind of too late for that one.

[divus]

I'm sorry... I should have tried harder to keep my balance.

[She goes quiet for a moment or two.]

...are you mad at us, for asking you all to come here? If it were me... I think I would have been very angry.

[bakaomi]

Yup.

[ he is. blunt. ]

I'm usually always mad at everyone, though, so that's not much of a different than usual.

[divus]

...good. You should be.

[she has Strong Feelings about gods playing games with people's lives, despite... well, the obvious]

I know you all agreed to come, but... we shouldn't have had to ask you in the first place. ...I'm sorry we interrupted your life like this.

[bakaomi]

We'll just have to make sure we choose correctly, so that it won't happen again, right?

[ so you know, he personally is hoping to NOT go for any of the people who said yes on this vote ]
