[It’s a little surprising to her; if Cunning weren’t the way Cunning is, that would have been her guess for his god. So, for curiosity’s sake:]

What made you pick her?

[selfimmolates]

That, I'm not answering. Sorry.

I probably don't need to tell you to keep this to yourself. Only one other person knows my alignment; otherwise, it's not one most would associate with me, and I'd like to keep it that way.

[yeah, he's aware that cunning is the obvious choice for him.]

[requiemed]

[She pauses, then nods.]

Yeah. I wasn’t going to tell anyone anyways, so...

[selfimmolates]

Thanks.

I know of two other people aligned with Love—but I didn't get it directly from them, so I can't verify the validity of this.

[a pause, as something occurs to him.]

Oh, and by the way: what'd you offer to Indulgence? He snubbed me last week, and I haven't tried again with him.

[requiemed]

I think I know one of them, but it’s just a guess at this point.

[She sighs, though.]

Sorry. I said I’d talked to all of them, I should have said all of them except Indulgence. I tried back when we couldn’t take anything out of the rooms, so I just prayed. I’m thinking of trying to grab one of the bottles of wine from the parlor next time l try... That’s pretty indulgent, right?

[selfimmolates]

[dang.]

I suggested alcohol to someone else who agreed to try Indulgence... I'll see what they did and get back to you.

On the bright side, while he seems picky as hell, I was told he doesn't get offended easily, so he probably won't curse us for experimenting.

[requiemed]

How generous of him.

Speaking of curses... It’s fine if you still don’t want to tell me, but can I ask which god did the glitter thing? I want to know who to be careful of.

[selfimmolates]

Disorder. She actually apologized this week and has been so nice that it's pretty suspicious.

[requiemed]

Oh, yeah, I don’t trust her for a second. She did the whole fake nice thing while openly lying to my face, so... Be careful, I guess.

[selfimmolates]

I will. At the very least, it doesn't hurt to be nice to her.

What'd she say to you?

[requiemed]

Remember the thing with Chuuya, where he said that she punched through a wall and then threatened him?

She said none of that happened. I mean, I guess there’s a chance he could be lying, but I think she stands to gain more by convincing people it didn’t actually happen.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, she told me he blew things out of proportion. [a beat.] She had to be a little honest with me, since I knew she cursed me 'cause she was pissed off at him, and it'd probably look worse if instead she claimed to have done that for no reason.

[requiemed]

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but at least it was just glitter.

[She tilts her head.]

On the other hand, surprisingly, you can say just about anything to Cunning and he won’t curse you. Probably.

[selfimmolates]

Cunning likes me, so I think we're good for now.

[requiemed]

...You realize that’s not a good thing, right?

[selfimmolates]

It has its ups and downs. For now, it means he's willing to be useful to me.

Ruin likes me too, and I'd rather be on her good side than bad.

[requiemed]

[She pauses, then sighs.]

As you long as you don’t bank on that. He wouldn’t go out of his way to curse you, but that doesn’t mean he’d care at all if anything did happen to you.

[There are others who she knows are more dangerous, but in terms of who she dislikes most... It’s definitely him.]

[selfimmolates]

I know he won't. I'm not expecting him to.

You obviously don't like him, though. What happened?

[requiemed]

He’s a huge asshole, that’s what happened.

[zoe......]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, that doesn't tell me much.

[requiemed]

I mean, there’s the obvious reasons like how he’s fine with murder, but...

[She sighs.]

I hate when people try to act like they know me and they don’t. He kept trying to pretend he understood me because he wanted me to agree with his fucked up logic.

[selfimmolates]

... I mean, wouldn't most of the gods here do that?

[requiemed]

No. It was like... I’m not saying the others don’t manipulate people, but this was different. He kept, like, openly implying that he knew what I wanted better than I did, and acting like I was too stupid to see that he was right about it. Which he wasn’t.

[Which is a sore spot for her, for a few reasons.]

[selfimmolates]

He sees you as weak, I'm guessing. What provoked this line of topic?

[requiemed]

I told him murdering people is bad and he couldn’t handle it.
