[senri pauses and -

nods]

You made it back to Love, right? So... I guess you can say I made it home too.

[requiemed]

[After a moment, she nods.]

Sincerity, then? Or... Beauty would be the only other possibility, I guess.

[usogi]

[ow - ]

.... more like Beauty's not my home and that's half of the problem.

[ANYWAY,]

You're right about Cheri though.

[requiemed]

[A beat, and then:]

—Sorry. I didn't mean to... You know.

[usogi]

It's okay - I try to make light of it. You don't need to worry. Heartache's a good feeling to learn, too, if only for the experience.

[requiemed]

...I feel like I'm going to make it awkward no matter how I respond to that.

[oops.]

[usogi]

It's only awkward if you make it awkward.

[senri offers up another sheepish smile - ]

... Anyway, we're all still friend and that's what matters.

I found Dizzy's last follower - but Bambi convinced someone else to join her anyway.

[requiemed]

I'm trying my best not to, promise.

[Which is why she's quickly moving on.]

I know you probably can't tell me who it is, but - is her last follower trustworthy?

[usogi]

... please talk to someone if it's bothering you.

[he'll uh

say that too, because he cares about zoe]

But - yeah! Or at least if she has to ditch because she got hit by Advancement Opportunity, I'm sure she'll tell me so we can make sure Dizzy isn't left without anyone.

[requiemed]

[Moving right on past that first point—]

Yeah. If that does happen and you need any help finding someone, let me know, okay?

[usogi]

I will.... I - there's only one of me, so I can't do anything if multiple gods might drop to zero, you know?

[requiemed]

Yeah. Cunning said something similar to me when I told him I was defecting to him a while back...

[She sighs.]

[usogi]

It's okay - there's no rule in place this week so coordinating should be a little easier.

[requiemed]

Yeah, I hope so. It depends on how many people get killed, too... We don't exactly have a good track record with that.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just

closes his eye]

.... please make sure you stay somewhere safe this Thursday.

[requiemed]

I've stayed somewhere safe every Thursday. That isn't about to change.

[But after a moment:]

You, too.

[usogi]

I will. The gods have rooms inside the temple that they sleep in - they're hidden away pretty intensely, but that's part of why they seem safe to stay in.

[requiemed]

[She frowns, but then—]

Oh, by the way... I'm throwing a party on Thursday. I'm not going to stay there overnight, but I figure a lot of people might. Maybe that'll help.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

Have you been a secret party animal all this time, Zo?

[requiemed]

Oh, yeah, you know me.

[She laughs, a little embarrassed.]

No, I just... thought it might be nice to do something to get everyone's mind off - you know. All of this, just for a night.

[usogi]

[senri also laughs, shaking his head]

... I love it. I love parties, so I'll definitely be there.

You need any help?

[requiemed]

[She shakes her head.]

I'm going to ask Indulgence for help with it. I think if I frame it like it'll make him more popular, he'll be willing to give me a hand with planning.

[usogi]

[senri's face says 'holy shit']

... we're in for such a party.

[requiemed]

[That earns another laugh.]

Hopefully he has more experience planning this kind of thing than I do. He seems like he would.

[usogi]

His name is Indulgence, he's a former ruler, and he's an amazing dancer.

That's like a recipe for a totally wild party host!
