Wait, it gets better. So after I told her it was you, she started trying to talk me out of it, right? Like 'oh Sincerity is so dishonest, lying to themselves thinking they're being wonderful and moral'.

[He mimics Disorder's nail-tapping gesture on the table, but his aren't that long, so it doesn't have the same effect as hers on glass.]

And the only real concern I'd had before was that maybe Sincerity was somebody too good and 'nice' for me to get along with? So I thanked her for the advice.

[divus]

Oh, my god.

[Can a god say "all my god"? This one can, apparently.]

You know, she really is quite pretty under that mask. Too bad she's rotten to the core!

[goatsongs]

[to be fair, there isn't really another appropriate expression.]

A beautifully painted rotten egg. No wonder she hated the poem.

[But it's a correct poem. Or at least, it's his sincere feelings, uncensored despite being about gods far stronger than he will ever be.]

[divus]

I'll drink to that!

[...

Well. Sincerity tries to, but like. The mask stops that from happening.]

...oh, boo. I forgot about that.

[goatsongs]

Seems pretty inconvenient. Maybe get some to go later?

[You can have your toast with the other gods, right in front of Disorder.]

Eh, but watching somebody eat sucks...

[divus]

Oh, well. It's not gonna ruin my day.

[Sincerity will definitely take some of it to go.]

We got dressed up, we came out - might as well get something nice! Treat yourself and all that.

[goatsongs]

Well, if you say it's fine - oh, oh! Can I get some soy sauce-boiled mitsuba? I haven't had that in ages!

[Chuuya is ordering boiled parsley. It looks exactly as underwhelming as you would expect.]

[divus]

[Sincerity's mask is hiding their grimace.]

That's what gets you going? [To each their own, they suppose...] Tell me that's not all you're having. All of this is Patience's treat - we might as well live it up!

[goatsongs]

Don't worry, I'm going back for seconds.

[this is his literal favorite food I am. so sorry.]

[divus]

...ooookaaaay, I guess if that's your thing, I've seen weirder.

[Don't mind Sincerity ordering some expensive, fancy-ass appetizers to take back though.]

[goatsongs]

[By all means, order actually nice food for yourself.]

Fancy food's wasted on me, sorry to disappoint.

[divus]

Well... that just makes us well suited to eating together! We won't be fighting over who gets the last bite of anything.

[Never mind the fact that there is literally no "together" because Sincerity can't take off the mask.]

[goatsongs]

We can't eat together because you're wearing a mask, so it doesn't really make a difference?

[...well, Sincerity did like him saying what he thought.]

[divus]

[


well]

You're not wrong!

[goatsongs]

[sorry sincerity you're not an exception]

Next time I take you out, I'll make sure it's somewhere we can both have fun.

[karaoke date?]

[divus]

[karaoke date.]

Ooh, exciting! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[goatsongs]

How's your singing voice?

[also chuuya can canonly/historically sing so bonus]

[divus]

[Sincerity practically puffs up, looking as proud as one can look while wearing a mask that completely obscures their face.]

Pretty damn good, if I do say so myself!

[goatsongs]

Then how about karaoke next time? Something to celebrate me officially joining your cause.

[it's dumb that he has to wait until Sunday but also game mechanics he guesses]

[divus]

Sounds perfect. If you figure out any of my other followers, you can invite them along.

[goatsongs]

I'll make that one of my goals this week.

[plus adopting kids and not getting murdered]

[divus]

You manage to do that and I'll give you a reward.

[chuuya has a lot on his plate. it's fine]

[goatsongs]

Is it a better reward if I get more than one?

[it's good to have goals in unlife]

[divus]

You're picking this up fast!

[That's a yes.]

[goatsongs]

Even better.

[what do you want to bet he gets Zero]
