[ oh i forgot to mention but apparently he looks beat the fuck up? but like. not pissed or upset about it? he actually looks happier than he usually does. wild. ]
It's a lot, but bear with me, all right?
First off, Ambition-han. How do ya feel about her ideals? Are ya still plannin' on backin' Piety-han, or are ya gonna jump ship for what looks like the winnin' team unless things go south this week?
[ . . . . senri stares but also decides that it's just
monday]
.... if it was just me, I could go to Bambi and get Ray-kun's wish granted. I know that. I'm actually going to try to talk to her and... even if I'm not on her team when she wins, if she could just try to help Ray-kun, as a request from me as a friend. That's all I want, out of all of this.
But it's not just me.
I want a lot of other people's wishes granted too, and they can't agree with Bambi. So... I'm going to keep trying for Piety. Because I think every number counts.
I was going to ask if you talked to him, and if you would switch to him at the end of the week too.
[ ogou-san is a lot and it's best not to think too hard about it ]
'Cause I was able to meet with Patience-han this weekend, an' she gave me some info about the alliance me an' Mizuki have been workin' on. [ of note: he uses their real name without honorific. ] We've more or less confirmed: Indulgence-han, Beauty-han, Sincerity-han, Piety-han, an' Cunning-han. It's safe to say Disorder-han would be willin' to work with us too, considerin' her relationship with Cunning-han.
What this all means is a couple things: if everyone involved is willin' to work with each other, then she said "no matter which one of them ends with the most followers, everyone on that alliance will benefit." But she also mentioned that it wouldn't work if any other god took the lead... which is why Ambition-han's numbers are startin' to look like a problem.
[ he breathes. what a fuckin infodump!! though, he does realize one thing after saying that last bit, ]
—Before ya start gettin' any ideas, I'm not suggestin' goin' after her followers. But... well, that's where I'm at now.
[senri blinks, listening intently and says immediately:]
I know Mizuki-san would stay with Beauty until the end, but I need you to switch to Piety at the end if you can, Ogou-san.
[Senri lifts up two fingers:] Piety is currently here.
With you and me, that'd be four. Taka? Five. Guy-san might switch to Piety at the end, according to Luke-kun. Six. Madopyon will go to the god that she thinks will grant the most wishes, if I can convince her. Seven. I'm asking other people too - because I want to make sure that their wishes get granted.
... you can't let the Ambition followers find out. Ludger, Shang-san, Catra, Entrapta, Alex, Hiro-kun... I think. I'm pretty sure, unless things got even more jumbled than I thought.
... Shang-san isn't sure which team he should stay on anyway - but I think Ishirin-san will talk to him.
[ . . . ]
I'll be honest - I don't... feel right... excluding Bambi. She's my friend. But... it's okay, isn't it? To work to get more wishes granted?
I'm gonna be honest, I dunno if I can promise ya that. I told Indulgence-han at the start that I'd stick by him 'til the end. I know I was tellin' the other gods that I'd be keepin' my options open, but I was mostly bluffin'. I pledged my loyalty to him. Even if that means I don't get my wish, I don't go back on my word, an' I'm stubborn as hell, to boot. I'll do what I can to help ya all out, but...
[but he says it slowly, like he's running through the number again, as if trying to decide whether or not it is okay]
I'm... gonna talk to Bambi, and see if I can get Ray-kun's wish granted no matter what, even if she wins. But... ah...
I thought it'd be something like that. Where people might end up staying loyal to their gods... I understand but I... I really wanted to get more wishes granted if I could, Ogou-san.
At this point... stickin' to my morals means more to me than my wish. If I ain't true to myself an' what I stand for, then what's the point, ya know? So don't worry about me an' my selfish ass. [ he pauses to regard senri carefully. ] Yer kinda doin' the same for Ray, ain'tcha?
[ he means senri giving up on his own wish, that is. ]
Who knows? Apparently I've got charisma for days. Maybe I can try convincin' some other undecideds myself?
... you're never selfish, Ogou-san. You haven't been, and I don't know if you ever will be.
... Mouri-san is an unknown to me. Oda-san says he doesn't care about his wish anymore, but I don't know what that means for what team he'll be on.
If Ogou-san could squeeze in time to talk to them before Saturday... I'd appreciate it. I don't... I'm going to try to tell everyone that I can, about the plan to switch to Piety. But I think the most important part is just that we just need more numbers than Ambition.
[ with his own self-mocking laugh, because god senri is genuinely precious and naive and means so much to him, majima puts his hand on senri's shoulder in what's become a very familiar gesture in these past few weeks. ]
Mouri-han an' Oda-han... I'll give it a shot. It's the least I can do for ya. [ a small sigh ] It ain't Ambition-han's fault she got a buncha assholes on her team.
[the familiar hand is reassuring and it manages to get senri to relax a little - majima could probably feel the tension that he was holding before, the nervousness and stress from trying to figure everything out but
he relaxes, but not without a pout]
... yeah. I told Bambi that she's not the same as her followers to me but...
I'd probably hate to be on the same team as someone who hurt Ray-kun for even a second.
Eh, I ran outta stupid things to call him, so I gave up. I already cut the "maru" outta Ishikiri-jisan's name, so I just started doin' it with Shishi-kun, too.
[ he shrugs! he'll never tell! ]
For real? What a douchecanoe paddlin' up a sea of shit.
Ahaha, I don't mind then. I'd like it if you two got along.
[THE DAD AND THE BOYFRIEND
but also
he's totally laughing and brightening up]
Right? And for all the fuss that he made about Sasuke trying to protect us all, he still didn't condemn Catra and Entrapta for what they did? I don't trust his opinion on anything at all, Ogou-san.
I ain't gonna be the first in line to vouch for Uchiha, but I'll come fuckin' runnin' if that black an' white bag of dicks tries to start some shit this week.
We made an agreement. I lend him my fists if he ever thought anyone else needed some roughin' up for the greater good, an' he turns the other way while I beat the shit outta Guy. We both got somethin' we wanted out of it.
[ HE SAYS THIS SO CASUALLY IT'S PROBABLY CONCERNING but also, he is, him, ]
Then... yeah... I hope that this weekend will be okay. Um... Sasuke is still on Merriment, but he just wants to stay awake to protect me and Taka. He won't go out of his way to make anymore trouble. I promise. If he does, you can get mad at me.

You know he used Advancement Opportunity on Ray-kun before because he thought that he killed Fortune? I don't like him at all. He's stupid.
