Yes, it is. I'd like the chance to talk with as many of you as possible--I don't know when I'll be hosting, and I'm aware that my title leaves a little to be desired, so even with my presence at some of the past trials I haven't had as much of a chance to make myself and my ideals known as I'd like.
I see. It's a shame you haven't had the opportunity to be our host yet. I've heard nothing but positive things about you when speaking to the others. You'll surely receive more followers once you've had your time.
[Assuming that, like, nothing super duper unfortunate happens this week.]
If you'd like, I'd be happy to learn more about you and your ideals. It would be my pleasure to listen to a god such as yourself speak.
Well...I suppose I'd like to say that above all else, what's most important to me is ensuring that the results of this game lead to a peaceful resolution--and I mean this both for our world as well as our pantheon. I want to make sure that a balance is achieved that allows each of us ability to work together in a way that conflict and misunderstanding disallowed us from, before.
... That's a noble goal. [More reasons to like Piety, it seems.] Do you believe this balance could be achieved, regardless of who is crowned winner? It would be... concerning... if the other gods are unable to set their differences aside even after the end of this competition.
I believe anyone can be reasoned with. I do worry that a few members of the pantheon would take their newfound authority a bit more liberally...but truly, I find that each of us has something inside of us that makes us a viable candidate.
I apologize if this veers off topic— But... you said that each one of you has a quality that makes you a "viable candidate." Do you know how, or perhaps why, you became a god? I asked Justice, but he seemed to be in the dark regarding that topic.
... That seems to be a common thread, then. Have you any thoughts or theories on how you ascended? Or if there's an even higher power who chose each of you for the quality you represent?
I simply believe...that we were needed. But other than that, and possibly good timing, I'm unsure. Maybe there are some things that aren't necessarily meant to be understood.

[Looks like this is going to be an exchange of polite nods? Connor has a reason for requesting an audience, but first— politeness.]
And you, Piety? How are you today?

Won't you have a seat? You may stay as long as you like; I'm always happy for the company.
no subject
I will. Thank you.
[time to park that caboose.]
Shang Qinghua said you wished to have more people speak with you. Is this correct?
no subject
[...]
That, and I just enjoy the company!

[There's a smile in his voice behind that mask.]
I'd like that. Thank you for being so polite. Is there anywhere in particular you'd like me to start?
no subject
[he's here to big gulp some respect the gods juice, maybe.]
If it's the same to you... You may choose where to start. What would you like to share most, right out the gate?

[It's kind of a tricky business, ascension to godhood.]
But I'll do my best. For me, it happened in the moment that I felt so intensely full of what I assume is the quality for which I was chosen: belief.
