[ he's feeling really fucking attacked right now why do all of his conversations with gods end up like this ]

That sounds like an impossible dream, even for a god.

[divus]

[FEEL SOMETHING, TAKA!!!]

What makes it so impossible?

[bakaomi]

[ NO ]

How do you even make people more honest? Snap your fingers and they suddenly change?

[divus]

Build up trust? What else? [Duh.] If people feel like they can trust you they're more likely to tell you things and be open about themselves.

[There's a sigh.] I never said it was perfect, but what's the point if I don't try? I want a world where the truth is out there and the truth prevails, okay?

[bakaomi]

That doesn't seem very godly.

[divus]

[...] Why not? Which part?

[bakaomi]

What would you get out of that?

[divus]

...call it a little bit of insurance. Assurance? Whatever.

[bakaomi]

... if I asked again a later could I get a better answer?

[divus]

I think so. [It's a guess.] It's too much now.

[bakaomi]

Figures.

[ ... ]

Can you guys just not automatically make everyone better?

[divus]

Would you really want us to force it like that?

[bakaomi]

No.

But what I want isn't necessarily the same as what others want.

[divus]

What is it that you want, Shishimaru-san? Besides the top seat and all that.

[bakaomi]

[ he shifts uncomfortably. ]

The top seat's enough for this.

[divus]

[Hm. Love will consider that carefully.]

You don't have to tell me, but really think about it and try to be honest with yourself, okay? It's...worse when you aren't.

[bakaomi]

...

You're really pushing the honesty thing.

[ he Gets this but considering the current situation ]

[divus]

[...they bow their head.]

I'm sorry. It's just...really important to me.

[bakaomi]

... nah. I understand.

[ taka hates liars but he's emotionally dumb ]

[divus]

Next time. Maybe then I can tell you more. Will you come see me again?

[bakaomi]

If I'm not dead, sure.

[divus]

[And that was how Taka was hit with a ballet slipper.] Not funny!

[Be gone!!! ]
