[divus]

Hmm... if I win, will you play a song for me?

[weeps]

What do you want if you win?

[bakaomi]

Tell me your name.

[ WEEPS ]

[divus]

Oh, it's--

[wait]

Right. Okay, if you win I'll tell you my name! It's a secret until then.

[bakaomi]

[ lmao ]

So I'll definitely know it by next week then.

[ he wasn't wrong ]

[divus]

[HE WASN'T WRONG]

Definitely! ...I can't wait to hear you call me by my name.

[bakaomi]

...

I guess that might be nice...

[divus]

It's so confusing, having a second one. The first couple of weeks I was a god, the others kept calling me Fortune, and I didn't realize they were talking to me...

[sweats]

...I guess maybe it made them think I was ignoring them...?

[bakaomi]

[ ... lol ]

Did they think you were stuck-up?

[divus]

They might have...

[JUST. SIGHING HEAVILY.]

[bakaomi]

Wow...

I can't believe you're so pompous.

[divus]

[cheerfully:]

Yeah, I'm the worst!

[bakaomi]

Absolutely terrible.

[divus]

Truly awful!

[bakaomi]

How can you live with yourself like this?

[divus]

Oh... I can't. Sooner or later, I'm just going to keel over from how terrible I am.

[well




she's not entirely wrong]

[bakaomi]

...

Well, if you do, I'll catch you.

[divus]

You will?

[she giggles]

Then, I won't be scared of falling at all.

[bakaomi]

[ ah... he smiles ]

I won't let you down.

[divus]

I know you won't.

[she trusts him!]

[bakaomi]

[ she shouldn't! ]

... good.

[divus]

...you know you can count on me, too, right? I can't do much right now... [being vulnerable, and all] But I want to do as much for you all as I can. It's a god's job to protect people.

[bakaomi]

[ he runs a hand through his hair. ]

... I know. I trust you too.

[divus]

Good.

[She knows it probably doesn't exactly inspire confidence that she's saying she'll protect him when she's in a position to need protecting, but - she'll do her best.]

I'm glad to hear that...

[bakaomi]

... I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.

[divus]

I know you wouldn't. You're not the type of person to say things like that if you don't mean them.
