[A derisive snort.] Thanks, but I fucked everything up pretty bad the last couple of years of my life. [...] I always said that I had to be the dad for the three of us, because all three of us had shitty families and shitty lives and powers none of us knew how to really use and had to figure out on the way. I was going to be a good dad and protect them.
I want to win to be a better god than my own dad, and to make up for everything I did back then. I'm not sorry, it still needed to be the wake-up call Olympus got, but there was maybe a better way to do it.
I mean... just because you won't be the leader doesn't mean you still can't do shit.
[ he's still not entirely sure what the logistics to running a whole ass pantheon is like. ]
Your dad wasn't the ruler, right? That was Zeus. So if you end up in a similar position that he was, you can still be better. You could still try to shape things the way you want them to be, it just wouldn't be in the huge grand gesture that this competition was going to hand you.
Depends on who's ruling. If it's somebody like Love or Beauty I'm definitely out of the running. Piety and I at least have an agreement going, but...well. You've seen his numbers, too.
I get what you're saying. I think this place is starting to drive me crazy. Do you know how boring it gets around here? All you end up doing is thinking if you're not careful.
Possibly. He's hard to get a read on because he doesn't sit still long enough to talk to. [...] But that's what it is day in and day out. Checking out the wings when you guys aren't looking, looking for Disorder, training, stealing stuff from Merriment...it gets old after a while. I'm ready for the new world already.
Not in a space like this, nah. In the new world...I'm guessing we're going to have areas a lot like our wings. I think. I don't know if we ever got that far in our discussions.

You seem to be a decent like, pseudo dad.

If I don't win...what do I have left?
