If it helps, most of the gods have been pretty decent. Just avoid Disorder and Ruin and possibly Indulgence. Maybe Cunning, depending on how you roll.

[his mouth twitches into a slight smile.]

She really pissed you off, huh?

[groovethreads]

I don't have any intention of going after any of those. I've had enough disorder and ruin for a lifetime. [But she furrows her eyebrows together.]

She was so unhelpful! She didn't even answer any of my questions, and she said that the past and the future don't matter for the present which is a total lie. I still have things to worry about, and I thought that when I woke up here things wouldn't be like this.

[Shiki, shut up, Ray's 12. She fumes for a little longer, jabbing a needle into some fabric.] My wish matters. No matter what anybody says.

[selfimmolates]

... Wow. She sounds like a real piece of work.

[groovethreads]

[She calms down after that, quiet and considering.]

I wonder if that's all she knows. She didn't seem to see anything wrong with the way she was thinking. I told her I got it but I left after that because I knew we were just going to keep arguing.

[selfimmolates]

... Probably. One of the gods described her as someone who wants to impress the wrong kinds of people, and who equates being feared with having worth. Also, that she's pretty bad at self-reflection.

[groovethreads]

Sooooo a teenage girl. I was totally right. [She may not actually be right, but jeez.] Have you talked to a lot of the other gods already?

[selfimmolates]

Yup.

[groovethreads]

Can I ask which ones?

[selfimmolates]

[he's silent for a few moments.]

All of them except for Ambition, Disorder, Indulgence, and Ruin.

[groovethreads]

And that's why you're asking me. [Got it. There's a pause...and she decides, sure, she'll help him out.]

I don't think Ambition liked my offering very much. I'm pretty sure she only talked to me because I aligned with her. And the other three seem kinda tacky. [And terrifying.]

[selfimmolates]

[that gets a brief laugh.]

Tacky's definitely one word for it.

[groovethreads]

I hate to say it? But I can also sort of see why they're here. If all of the gods really did get along, it'd be harder to pick a winner, wouldn't it? Are you going to try to talk to all of them?

[selfimmolates]

It's on my to-do list. Incidentally, is Ambition's place the pool?

[groovethreads]

Nope. It's the salon. I'm not sure who the pool belongs to.

[selfimmolates]

Ah, got it. [mentally revises notes...] Probably Indulgence, in that case.

tmw your default icon doesn't match any of what's going on...

[groovethreads]

You think? [She has had zero reason to go to the pool because woo, let's not.] Maybe I'll pay them a visit next week just to see what the fuss is about. Any gods you recommend talking to?

[selfimmolates]

Piety, Merriment, Beauty, Love, and Justice were pretty nice. Fortune and Sincerity were okay. The others are trickier.

[groovethreads]

Those all sound pretty decent...I'll have to try my luck next week. And make a lot of offerings...[Sheesh.]

Is there anything else you wanted to know?

[selfimmolates]

Nah, I'm good. Thanks.
