... I'm guessing you all aren't going to live together.

[divus]

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.

[bakaomi]

...

You should probably figure that out.

[divus]

You'd think that'd be a priority. Instead we're still busy pulling pranks and arguing with each other.

Working with people can be a huge drag.

[bakaomi]

It's nice to know that you guys are still as good at this as we are.

[ as in, not good at all ]

[divus]

I'm just saying, whoever thought to make a bunch of teenagers and twenty-somethings gods probably didn't think this one through.

But we're working on it. Or whatever.

[bakaomi]

You guys will figure it out. You have like... your entire immortal lives to do it?

[divus]

A little longer than I'd like, but...better than the alternative. Even with everything, I can at least say this is way better than home.

[bakaomi]

... mm. Maybe it could become a home.

[divus]

...let me ask you something. Do you ever think it's too late for somebody to change?

[bakaomi]

... not really. It might depend on the person, since some people absolutely refuse to no matter what.

[ ... ]

But in general? no.

[divus]

Is it possible to change in five minutes? [He's maybe just seeing what kind of answers Taka's going to give.]

[bakaomi]

...

Must be a hell of a five minutes.

[divus]

Let's just say it'd be something like the difference between life and death, yeah. Is that kind of change sincere?

[bakaomi]

... I dunno. Because anything can spark a change in you, right? Things as simple as a lie can. The difference is just that some catalysts might be bigger than others.

[divus]

[...] Probably. I knew you were a smart kid, but that kind of answer just proves it. Thanks for humoring me.

[bakaomi]

[ he blinks, and looks down at what's left of his slice of pizza. ]

Any time, Cunning.

[divus]

Promise the next one won't be as...whatever. [Depressing? Sure.]

But at least the pizza turned out pretty good.

[bakaomi]

Mm.

I'll try to make something else next week.

[ get ready for another goddamn audience ]

[divus]

Whenever you have time. I get that you're busy. [But he appreciates that.] ...but thanks.

[Come at me.]
