divus | GODLY AUDIENCES: LUDGER

[ hm... he thinks he can see where this is going. ]

Disorder isn't so bad. She seemed willing to extend the trial, when I asked her.

I think everyone here is very generous though - a lot of people joined Cunning because they knew you were worried. I can't imagine they wouldn't join Disorder, either.

[ ambition probably wants a guarantee... but what if everyone who jumped to cunning jump to disorder, and no one stays behind? ]

She's nicer than people act like she is. When we first became gods... she looked out for me.

[Ambition looks down at her hands.]

I know I'm the one who wanted you to join Cunning... but will you join Disorder this week? For me?

[ ... he'll reach over to pat her on the arm, smiling reassuringly. ]

Just for this next week. And then I'm back to you for the last one, remember?

[ he promised, after all. ]

You'll really come back...?

[this is the part where you're supposed to say "thank you" instead of doubting him, ambition]

Of course! I did promise you, after all.

[ because he has more feelings than sense. ]

[Honestly "more feelings than sense" describes about 85% of Ambition's CR and it's a huge problem. Please save them all.]

That's - you're...

[...]

Thank you.

[ :) ]

Oh! Actually, I do have one question. What's up with favors?

[ he asks..... 5 weeks into the game....... ]

[Well, that shocks the grateful expression right off her face.]

Seriously? It's what it sounds like. If you do things for us, we can do things for you. Like, right now I owe you because you went to Cunning and you're going to go to Disorder for me.

[ that's useful! what a shame he's only learning about it 5 weeks into the game. ]

That makes sense... But there has to be a limit on what favors can do, right?

Right. There are basic rules - I can't just outright give you someone's alignment, or the name of a culprit, or anything. And I can't do any favors that would be ripping off another god's power.

But other than that - especially since it's me - there's a lot I can do. I can give you hints that the other gods can't; that's my specialty.

[ right, of course gods have limits. and all gods have similar restrictions... ]

Hints? In that case, I don't see why we summon anyone besides you to trial.

[ bc no one knows about this, ludger ]

... Is it possible to recreate a power from another world?

I've been wondering that for a month now.

[like come on, y'all]

I don't think that would be impossible. If it's too similar to one of the powers we're offering to all of you as our followers, it definitely won't work, but I can give you an item that would let you use a power from somewhere else one time if you wanted. I owe you big time, after all.

[ his first thought flashes to the chromatus, before he reels himself in. he wants it, no doubt, but is it the best choice...? ]

Do I have to pick what that power would be now?

You just have to pick what power it is before I can make it. I need to know what it is I'm making, you know?

... Would it be possible to create an item that can cast Resurrection?

[ he's hopeful, but also doubtful, because a) ludger can't cast spirit artes for shit and b) wouldn't resurrecting a recently fallen go against the rules of this place? ]

...that's not a bad idea...

[She seems to be considering it, at least! Ambition crosses her arms, taking a moment to think it over ~~while the mods discuss it~~.]

It might be possible... with some limitations. It'd only work on someone who's in the same faction as you when you use it. [...] And once they're fully under Patience's supervision, I won't be able to touch them. So you'd have to use it the same week someone died to bring them back.

[i.e. before the mingle turns over and they get the Graveyard Deets]

[ alright, this is gonna sound really stupid, but he's gotta ask: ]

What if I try using it on someone who isn't in my faction?

[ does he get a mysterious voice from above yelling at him to 'try again, dipshit'? ]

[She gives him a look of "did you really just say that"]

Then it won't work, and you'll have wasted its one use.

Oh.

[ well it was worth a shot! ]

But the god in charge of a trial will tell us what the victim's alignment was, right? So I guess not knowing someone's faction wouldn't be an issue...

[ he's not missing any hidden downsides, right? ]

Eventually, yeah. Or if you, like, get someone to tell you their alignment, you'd already know.

There is that.

Would it possible to give it away to someone else? Or have it taken from me and used by anyone on a different team?

[ covering! all his bases!!! ]

It'd be tied to you, since it's your reward. So you could let someone else use it, but it would still only work on someone who shares your alignment.

... Got it. Then I'm happy to accept.

Thank you, Ambition.

Right. Then... here.

[she holds out a small golden ring to him]

Wear that, and you'll be able to use that power once.

[ slips it on!

....... does it only fit his ring finger, i'm going to die laughing if that's the case. ]
