Now see that? That is what we call a worse-case scenario. It's why I used to like kids a lot better. [Taka's still just young enough to be considered a kid in Jack's book.] Why anyone offered to make her a god...I still don't get it.

[bakaomi]

I think I can see it? She's assertive and knows how to get what she wants.

[ which is like, actual qualities you'd want in a leader?

she's just also regina ]

[alittlefuninstead]

By manipulating other people. Kind of the big problem with that. [But true.]

[bakaomi]

Everyone has pros and cons.

[ her cons list was just

you know, longer ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Now what kind of pros besides "leadership" did she have? [He's just curious, he doesn't even doubt it.]

[bakaomi]

She made Senri jealous.

[ taka is mean to his boyfriend ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Didn't a lot of people make Senri jealous? [If you're looking for someone to say "Taka be nice to your bunny" this is the wrong person.]

[bakaomi]

[ he thinks...... ]

Sasuke and Rise?

[ he still has no idea sheba made senri jealous. it's fine. ]

[alittlefuninstead]

[...a chuckle.] Yeah, those two. [Ah well, let's not talk about how he can see everything.] It just means that's not the best pro to have.

[bakaomi]

I didn't mind talking to her. I know she was a bitch, but she had her good points.

I just wouldn't have ever voted for her to be in charge.

[alittlefuninstead]

Seems like that's something you and Ludger had in common. [Which is a weird thought to have.] I'm not even sure her followers would've voted for her to be in charge, but that's not really anything against her.

[bakaomi]

... nah.

Not everyone had loyal followers.

[ GUESS WHO STILL FEELS BAD ABOUT HIS DECISION TO SWITCH AND WILL FEEL WORSE ABOUT IT TOMORROW ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Then I guess I was really lucky after all. [Well it's not Jack because even with that, Taka's a good kid and still his follower in his heart. Here's a hair-ruffle.] I never expected it. You know that.

[bakaomi]

You deserved it...

[ it's

mumbled ]

[alittlefuninstead]

[He isn't going to argue that because he knows they'll go in circles about it. Instead, he just smiles.]

...yeah. Maybe we both did. [So there.]

[bakaomi]

Don't turn this on me.

[alittlefuninstead]

I'm not turning it on anybody! [But there's a low laugh that says he is.] It's just as true as what you said.

[bakaomi]

[ ... ]

It just would have been better if more people gave you a chance.

[alittlefuninstead]

Why do you think that? [He's not even arguing now, he's just curious.]

[bakaomi]

... I just think you would have been a good leader, after everything.

[alittlefuninstead]

...maybe. [He can at least maybe sort of see why Taka would think that even if he doesn't entirely agree.] There's still a lot I think I needed to learn, I think. If I'm being honest.

When this first started, I'm not sure I ever would have wanted to be a leader and to tell you the truth I'm not sure I want to be one now. But I kind of like the idea of being an advisor or something.

[Just say guardian, you stupid fuck.]

[bakaomi]

Maybe not when you first started...

[ he can easily agree there, even if he does stan.

... ]

I can still say that I think you should be more popular though, stupid.

[ it's said in the most tsun voice in the world

granted jack did have a fanclub by the end that consisted of parlor party but STILL ]

[alittlefuninstead]

[He just. Kind of bursts out laughing because Taka is such a tsun but also moe...hate that Senri taught him that.]

I know! I know...and it means a lot to me that you think so. It makes me remember that I did something right after all.

[bakaomi]

... and we need someone like you with the rest of them.

I'm sure most of the gods have learned some sort of lesson about growth and friendship or whatever, but Ruin is still there, so.

[alittlefuninstead]

[The most exhausted expression suddenly appears.] Without the backing from Disorder and Cunning she might calm down. I'm not counting on it, but a guy can dream.
