[ 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 ]

[divus]

Right. No matter who wins... we won't be doing something like this to pick a ruler again. Whoever wins is the winner. ...we won't be able to change that.

[so hopefully they get someone nice]

But they'll be able to choose the rules of the world we make. I don't... want a god to win who would see playing games with the lives of people who live here as okay, either. Even if it's for other matters.

[bakaomi]

... no, what's the point in even doing this if you guys just end up in the same cycle for other shit...

[ the thought pisses him off. this game is bad enough. ]

So we'll try not to let you down.

[divus]

I know you won't let me down.

[She sounds cheerful enough, at least. She really seems to believe that.]

I'm still planning on making a comeback and winning this myself, of course! ...but with people like you here, even if I don't win... I can't see you allowing someone truly terrible to win, either.

[bakaomi]

I want to get my wish, yeah, but...

It wouldn't really sit right with me if that's all I focused on while trying to get through this game. You guys deserve something good, too.

[divus]

...

[Fortune giggles.]

You really are a lot nicer than you act, you know that?

[bakaomi]

Huh?

[ he needs to stop being surprised every time someone says something like this ]
