Sure! I mean - he's the one who gave it to me, but he also told me to find people who would like to speak with him, so this probably works as an invite too?
[senri would somehow manage to receive an offering from a god instead of the other way around for some reason]
Could've been an attempt to sway my allegiance. But they do seem nice. Not entirely anti-murder levels of nice—they won't encourage it or endorse it, especially since their job before this was to be a mediator, but they'll accept it if it happens anyway on the path to victory—but they didn't even like speaking ill of their fellow gods.
And on that note, they were actually pretty helpful in that regard.
What'd they say then? I know some gods are supposed to not get along super well, but so far everyone I've talked to has been mostly okay with each other.
Well, most of 'em are wary of Disorder, Ambition, Ruin, and to an extent, Cunning. Piety gave me some insight as to why.
Specifically, they painted a fairly detailed picture of each god individually. Of course, I doubt they're without bias, but everything they've said fits with what I've heard or seen.
I asked for their opinion on everyone, and they told me, in order from closest to least close. According to them, they want this to be a fair competition, which means we participants should be as informed as possible when it comes to knowing who to follow.
Piety also mentioned that some of the gods aren't great about treating their followers well. I already know one person who's going to defect from Disorder this week.
To be honest, the more I hear about Ambition, the more tiring dealing with her sounds. I wouldn't blame her followers for ditching her.
[the scary part is that so far the chances of ruin having the uno braincell among the gods are increasing]
I've been told that Ruin's the kind of person where if she's mad at you, it's not always going to be obvious right away. Anyway, we'll see—I've gotten some advice on how to approach her, so I'll be trying that next week.
[you ever remember that the 12 year old agreed to go see ruin because he didn't want to send the dumb bunny]
.... Shishimaru's gonna go too. I don't really want to see anything happen to either of you, so consider comparing notes? Or you can tell me, and I'll tell him, if you don't wanna do it directly.
[senri's just in this weird web of emos it's fine]
I'll still try my luck with Ambition and Indulgence again just in case, in exchange.
Would you tell me who the Disorder defector is? [and he opens his palms out] In the interest of transparency, I don't know where I am in your list of information sources, but if you'll trust me with it, I'll trust you.
[but otherwise his actor face is on and he won't give any clues one way or another]
But no, not yet - I'm still sore I got ignored, so I haven't been asking about Indulgence but... I gotta get over it eventually, so lay it on me.
Sure. It's Chuuya. He pissed her off and she probably took it out on me.
[everything is chuuya's fault,]
Piety described Indulgence as flamboyant. Not malicious, but selfish and myopic. According to Indulgence himself, he was a ruler before, though Piety doesn't think he'd make a good one—he's too short-sighted and self-serving to handle responsibility. Doesn't seem very attached to any of the other gods either, which is probably why no one really has a strong opinion on him.
Nope. Indulgence was one of his original choices, and according to him, he picked Disorder because he hated her the least of the three. Now that he has more options, he wouldn't say which one he was going to switch to without an exchange, and I didn't feel like taking him up on that.
... Shiki, huh? Haven't talked to her, but good to know.
[too bad she's probably going to die this week]
You could try. At least he's probably safe to experiment with, when it comes to offerings. [probably not going to get cursed!] I'm also going to try my hand at Disorder and see if I can get her... not mad at me.

That's between you and him.

Makes you hope that Ruin isn't some kind of super charismatic and all-knowing type.

Speaking of Takaomi, is he the Ambition defector? [...] But I'll go talk to him.
If you're going to try Indulgence, I got some of his backstory, if that might help. Unless someone beat me to telling you...?
[he figures senri's acquaintance has already told him what he needs to know about ambition.]

Do you know where he's going? I'm guessing Indulgence but....
[oh and - ]
Ambition defector isn't Shishimaru. It's Shiks.
[ . . . . but oh my god, that description. senri blinks before laughing again]
Seriously? I'm glad I didn't take his hand after all! I guess I have to get him jewels or something...?
