You underestimate everyone else just as much. Blackfire conquered planets? [senri is decently scared of a lot of people here but he's most scared of her??] And Guy-san didn't do anything to deserve being stolen from! [he likes him!! senri is weak and will not survive the winter] If you get caught or hurt in the process, what's the point?
If anything, you could use the lab to see if anyone could make a really pretty jewel copy. They've been talking about a lot of magic stuff that goes way over my head, but one of them can probably do it?
[Sasuke's lips draw into a line, and his face sours. He's INSULTED twice over.]
I can ask. [Well, he can barter and intimidate. That's asking, right? FINE. He won't ask.] I'm not afraid of anyone here. I've destroyed a god. [why does he say this so casually] No one has their own abilities.
If they relied on what they can do more than how they think, they'll be useless.
No, I don't trust you to not mess this up and then if I try to ask after you, they'll know I'm trying to work with you. I'm asking. At least I'm cute and harmless.
[both of them should just stop talking
because is senri going to just ignore the destroying a god thing?
you bet your ass he is! (he will probably pick that up at the end of the conversation like 'what the fuck')]
Can you do me a favor and maybe not jump right away to murder as an option? I think we can all win anyway if we just agree to serve the same god. It'd be the easiest way to get this resolved, you know?
It isn't going to be so simple. You're as awful as Justice sounds. Maybe the two of you do belong together. [Another sigh.] The ones already winning aren't going to change--they're winning. The rest may not like the world that god envisions. They are going to try whatever it takes to win instead.
You were promised something, right? So were they.
Besides, there are going to be some like us, who are trying to speak to other gods. They'll also do what it takes to get an audience. Clearly, some gods are picky.
I haven't talked to Justice yet - but I can put it on my list. What did you offer? Anything hard to find?
[since sasuke's really insisting!!!!
but senri at least manages to look thoughtful at his other worlds.]
.... so far Love and Sincerity's worlds don't look so bad. I don't know about Indulgence, but if either of those two win, I've heard that the other gods wouldn't actually mind that much. Even if you die in the process of the game, if the god you were aligned with wins, you get your prize. So the strategy can be to switch to Love's team, even though Love's powers aren't that great.
I never said it'd be easy - but if everyone can calm down for just long enough to listen, we can all get what we want and leave behind a world that isn't super awful. I want to win, but I know that everyone else does too.... There has to be a way to make it work.
No. He said he hasn’t ever had a family, so that is what he values most. A world were everyone can be a family. [Guess who Justice remINDS HIM OF. HM.] He thought no one would want to talk to him. So just the fact you will is enough.
No one is going to work together like you think. It’s better if we take a look next week to see how the followers have changed. Once everyone has seen the list of gifts the gods give.
[that, more than anything else in this conversation, gets senri to pause.
but he passes over it quickly with a smile]
Sounds easy enough! I'll check in with him too.
I'm going to keep trying, even if you say it's impossible. Some things aren't possible to understand until you put them into words - that's what I believe. I'm trying not to be stupid about this game... but there's no knowing unless I try.
[Sasuke doesn’t look convinced about the last part. He can’t believe Senri won’t do something fucking stupid and end up hurt or, worse, dead. It’s Naruto all over again really. He should just kill Senri and get it over with.]
Do it your way then. Don’t come crawling to me when you get in trouble.
Please don't think you're special, I really just ran into you.
[that said he did talk about sasuke to someone else in the same vein as "i'm just mad that i don't know what he knows" so maybe it was subconscious who can say]

anyway to his credit, senri looks mildly surprised at this.]
Why would I?

The same reason you thought to look for me about a flower from Beauty.
