Yeah. It's actually a little strange. I can understand Blackfire, if someone thought she was too much of a loose cannon... but it doesn't completely make sense for people to be killing this much.
Not because we're all a bunch of pacifists, but because it's risky to kill, considering we have the trials. In particular, the shadier gods and their followers should know they're especially vulnerable, since last week we had people talking about voting for Cunning on the basis of his personality—even Ruin's well aware of what'll likely happen if her name appears on the list.
Though, of course, there's always the possibility that any of the so-called benevolent gods are behind this. [...] That's the other thing that sucked about the culprits being dead last time. I don't necessarily think Piety put him up to it or anything, but we couldn't ask Saint-Germain for his reasoning.
[...]
And if people are doing it entirely of their own volition, why? Even if it's to cull the competition, it's jumping the gun. We've got a few weeks left to go, and even at this pace, we'll still hit the time limit. Until then, defections and the other murders mean that the numbers could easily fluctuate, as was the case with Sincerity...
... Since it doesn't seem like any of them are in a hurry to ditch, I was thinking about gathering all of the known Love followers so that we could talk together. I spoke about it with Love, and she's not against it—though if we're doing it, we should do it as soon as possible.
Depending on whether I can get Justice to amend the rules or if I want to go through loopholes, it might have to wait until next week, thanks to that second rule, but... would you be up for it?
... The important thing is that we all have an investment in keeping Love in the running, and Love seems confident that most of her followers wouldn't leave her—actually, she admitted that I seem like the only one who would. [he shrugs.] But as long as she's in the lead, we're good.
One of them, I think can be trusted. Another, Love says is similar to me: they'll side with her as long as she's winning. The third I know of... I'm undecided on them, mainly 'cause I don't know if they can keep a secret. Though first, I have to actually confirm them.
I'm missing Sincerity, since I'm waiting on someone else for that, and there's some confusion with Disorder and Ambition because we got the same ability for both so there's probably a misunderstanding there—I'm curious as to what Ambition told you?
Well, you'll arrange the terms and conditions with her at the time of the reward, such as the time limit you have to carry out the task afterwards. So it's not a freebie, or anything.

Yeah, I know what you mean. What about you?
no subject
I knew Fortune and Blackfire, but we didn’t really talk that much. It just feels... It sucks that this keeps happening, you know?

If you had to guess why it was happening so much... What would your answer be?
no subject
—Ah, that reminds me, though. I wanted to discuss something with you.
no subject
What’s up?
no subject
Depending on whether I can get Justice to amend the rules or if I want to go through loopholes, it might have to wait until next week, thanks to that second rule, but... would you be up for it?
no subject
Yeah, I would. Since I’ll be meeting them anyways... Can I ask who else has said yes?
no subject
I guess I could have you reveal my alignment for me, since that probably wouldn't count, but I'd rather see for myself how they react.
no subject

Unless you’re going to find it funny.

It's more about how much I can trust them. For that, I want to be able to judge their response myself.

Are you aware of who the other followers are?
no subject
No. The only one I know is you.

[She pauses.]
Can I ask why you want to have a meeting, though? Just to strategize, or...?

That reminds me... Did you know all of the gods have a specific skill?
no subject
Yup.

Otherwise, I know all of them.

What are the others?

Love is better at undoing curses. She helped lessen mine back in the first week, when Disorder cursed me.
Beauty can make it so an action or conversation isn't spoken of or heard by anyone else.
Indulgence can summon items more easily.
Ruin can give out rewards before the participant completes the task.
Piety can see into the nature of others.
Merriment can see how well a particular course of action might go.
Disorder's good at bending the rules.
Justice can amend the rules or give pardons for breaking them to a minor extent, though he can't undo penalties already given out.
And Cunning's is breaking and entering, right?
no subject
...Is there some kind of catch to Ruin's?
