[A beat.]

Well, at least you got to talk to him...?

[rip.]

[tootsiepop]

If you consider being threatened with a wine bottle a conversation.

[rip indeed!!]

[requiemed]

[Oh, hm. The 'yikes' feeling is real.]

Did he just kick you out after that, or...?

[tootsiepop]

[He shakes his head.]

No. I was lucky enough to be allowed to stay.

[requiemed]

But... He stayed pretty angry?

[A frown.]

[tootsiepop]

... Not exactly. He was somehow pleased by my ability to "backpedal."

[requiemed]

Oh. Well... I guess it could have been worse, in that case?

[tootsiepop]

Correct. I'm not cursed.

[a beat.]

Well, doubly cursed.

[requiemed]

I know it would have been my fault because it was my suggestion, but I would have been really pissed if that happened.

[tootsiepop]

It would have been more of my fault for following your suggestion without a second opinion.

[requiemed]

...I feel like if we go down this rabbit hole we're never coming back, so. Let's talk about something else, okay?

[tootsiepop]

What topic do you suggest?

[requiemed]

Good question.

[Hm...]

Who's your favorite of all the gods? You can leave whoever you're with out, if you don't want to make it obvious.

[tootsiepop]

[Oh. Hm. He takes a moment to seriously think about this, his LED spinning.]

... Disorder. [SOMEHOW.] She makes pleasant company. I think she's a great conversationalist.

[requiemed]

[There's... a long pause, but:]

I'm glad you've had good conversations with her. Just be careful, okay?

[tootsiepop]

[... Hm.]

I take it that your experiences with her thus far have been negative?

[requiemed]

The one time I've talked to her, she lied to my face, so...

[tootsiepop]

... What did she lie about, exactly?

[requiemed]

What happened with Chuuya.

[tootsiepop]

Oh.

[Oh.]

Which version of the tale did she give you?

[requiemed]

The version where she was trying to help him and only warned him and never threatened him or did anything else that might have been wrong.

[tootsiepop]

I assumed it was common knowledge she did the opposite of that.

[... says connor, despite apparently stanning disorder.]

[requiemed]

I mean, yeah, but the issue is she still tried to convince me she didn't.

[...]

Actually, the issue is probably her doing that in the first place, but - you know. There are many issues.

[tootsiepop]

Evidently.

[Lord.]

What about you, Zoe? What god is your current favorite?

[requiemed]

[After thinking for a few moments:]

Excluding mine, it's probably Beauty.
