You're referring to the fact that we're both androids, correct?
[If there's anything else they have in common, Connor has pointedly not noticed it.]
... I haven't. Or at least, not explicitly. My mission and my wish are one and the same. [That's what he'll keep saying, at least.] I assumed he already knew.
Well that's part of it, yes. [At least Beauty sounds a little embarrassed for being frank about it.] And though it's true we all know what your wishes are, I find that a better relationship is built when we speak to you rather than us working off of assumptions. The same in reverse as well.
Of course. It's the least that I can do since you were gracious enough to visit with me as well. That and, of course, if you plan to stay with him throughout the rest of this competition it simply makes sense.
As long as I'm not targeted by Advancement Opportunity at the very last minute.
[Ambition's followers are fond of doing that, apparently... Even after learning it was one of the factors that led to Fortune's death. God.]
... I wouldn't call it gracious. As a participant in this competition, it's my duty to get to know each and every one of you. Regardless of my other endeavors, it's been remiss of me to have taken so long to request an audience with you.
I think people would have to know to whom you were aligned with for that to be a very big worry. I imagine you'll be fine.
Even if it's your duty, you'd be surprised how many of you have neglected it. So I would still consider it gracious even if you don't. It's much appreciated.
[Listen, the gods are doing their best and have accepted this.] It's quite alright. It balances out since we have others who are wholly dedicated.
[But that's a question and Beauty thinks about it.] I'd like to learn a little more about you, actually, if that's alright. Your world fascinates me but I haven't had the chance to really speak with you. This situation is very different than what you're used to, yes?
[Rattling information about himself is what he does best, maybe.]
I was deployed in Detroit, and did not leave the city in the three months I was active in my world. Having the opportunity to explore the locations you, as gods, have created is very... enriching. I like it.
It's what the wings are for. We want to be able to give you all a worthy experience during your time here. But why didn't you ever leave? Three months is quite a while in one place.
I'm a machine, Beauty. I can only go wherever my mission takes me. And in those three months, there was never any need for me to travel outside of Detroit.

[Huh.]
Then... Your suggestion is that I speak with him about my wish, so we may strengthen our bonds.

Are there truly participants who haven't spoken to the gods? I recall we were told to do so, in order to guide this competition to a suitable end.

[Someone, please love the gods.]
Is there anything you'd like to talk about, then? Now that I'm here.
