[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!

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

If nothing else... It'll be nice to have a night off, you know?

[usogi]

Sure, I love to have a good time as much as anyone else.

I invited Dizzy to come play soccer with us tomorrow - partially because I think she needs the chance to have a little fun, and because I kind of just miss playing soccer.

[requiemed]

[She tilts her head, interested.]

I don't think I knew you were a soccer player. That's pretty cool. And - it's nice of you to include her. I'll make sure to show up.

[usogi]

Soccer, basketball, I try to pick up new things when I have the time. But my classmates at school played soccer more than anything else.

I think Dizzy and Indulgence have a really hard time getting people to like them again after... well, everything. So I think it can't hurt to give them a little publicity boost.

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

Hopefully we'll both be able to help them out.

[usogi]

Hope so! It's worth a shot, if nothing else.

Besides, I'd really like to just enjoy a party anyway. They're so fun!

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

We hadn't even hit winter formal when I got here. So unfair.

[usogi]

Is that a big party in America? Is it for school or family...? A holiday?

[requiemed]

Oh, yeah, it's a school dance. Kind of like prom, but less important.

[She tilts her head.]

Do they have prom where you're from?
