[a snort.]

For better or for worse, Ruin's apparently more discreet about her anger, so you might not even notice if you pissed her off until it's too late.

[bakaomi]

Have you talked to her already? Or just to people who have?

[selfimmolates]

[he shrugs.]

Nope. I'm just doing my research.

[bakaomi]

... who else have you spoken to?

[selfimmolates]

Most of the gods, at this point. Eight of the twelve?

[bakaomi]

Which ones haven't you hit up yet besides Ruin?

[selfimmolates]

[he raises an eyebrow.]

I normally wouldn't just give that info away for free... but you're lucky I've already swapped notes with Senri, so he'd probably tell you anyway.

Disorder, who I'm going to try again next week, and Ambition and Indulgence. They're the only ones who didn't like my offerings.

[bakaomi]

Yeah. He mentioned he was talking to someone who spoke to a lot of the gods, but he didn't give me the name.

[ so. as soon as ray started the conversation he assumed it was him. ]

What did you try to give them?

[selfimmolates]

First, tell me which gods you've spoken with.

[bakaomi]

Not as many as you so that might be too telling.

[selfimmolates]

[fine!!]

You can leave out your patron god, if that helps.

[bakaomi]

Love, Merriment, Beauty, Fortune, Sincerity, Piety...

Ruin and Justice are next.

[selfimmolates]

Hehhh. You know, that's more than I'd spoken to when I gave Senri my list.

Anyway, Justice is easy. He likes company.

[bakaomi]

A lot of them are pretty chatty.

[ it

does not sound like a compliment coming from him ]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, really friendly.

[it's not exactly a compliment coming from ray either, it's okay]

[bakaomi]

I guess it's easier to get people to do stuff for you if you seem nice.

[ ... ]

Especially at the start.

[selfimmolates]

Considering Ambition and Disorder are already driving out followers with their attitudes? Yeah, it's a smart move to make.

[bakaomi]

It makes it easier for us that they prefer not to lie, but...

[selfimmolates]

Well, we'll see how things go. Next week's numbers will probably be telling of how this competition might go.

Anyway, to answer your question: something involving glitter and feathers for Disorder. [hence his stupid curse.] A craft relating to the idea of Ambition and note complimenting her—that one just got me a note saying, "Try harder." Food for Indulgence.

I'll admit they were pretty uninspired. They're not as easy as some of the other concepts.

[bakaomi]

[ he snorts at the mention of the curse ]

Well, it's only the first week. It would have been impressive if you got all of them on the first try.

[selfimmolates]

It's just a puzzle to solve. I'll get it right the next time around.

[watch him get cursed again]

[bakaomi]

I hope you get more sparkles.

[selfimmolates]

Jerk.

[bakaomi]

It's what you deserve.

[selfimmolates]

I'd say that I hope Ruin curses you and knocks you down a peg, but that'd be too mean, even for me.
