Well, there's that annoying new rule about how followers can't remove anything from a room now. I'm interested in taking a console out of here, though—any chance you could help with that?
[a long shot, but presumably merriment won't smite him for asking.]
Mm...I might be able to help you out if you were aligned with me. Might. Or I might be able to help you out if you did something for me.
[There's a pause.] ...but just because I can't help you doesn't mean I don't know who can. Try talking to Justice. He should be able to figure out an override if you ask him real nice. Tell him I sent you if that helps.
Yeah. [...] Do each of the gods have some kind of specialty for this competition? Like how Love is supposedly one of the better gods for undoing curses?
Thaaat may have just been because you're hers. Our power over this game is more effective for our own followers than for other people. But just like people, we all have our own traits and strategies that'll help us in the game, yeah.
Love knowing how to undo curses isn't that surprising either.
Just trust me? [It's one of those "I cannot say because of these goddamn rules" things, Ray.] Justice...is a really good kid. He'll be happy to find a loophole for you to that particular rule. That's all I'm saying.
Talking to him and giving him something to do is one of the best offerings you can give him. Kids close to his age to play with and spend time with. You don't have to offer much but just make sure you mean it instead of using him.
Oh I don't either. [Factually. Calmly. They examine the board in front of them instead.] Eager kid, great kid...but it's a lot of responsibility that I'm not sure he could handle.
[There's a snort though.] And I suppose you're gonna say you're closer to my age instead?

I like Justice, even though I don't think he should be ruler. [a beat.] Not sure if I count as a kid close to his age, though.
[because ray is mentally a grandpa lbr.]

Cunning said he's been getting into technology lately. [a beat.] That or food.
[but that one wasn't quite as relevant to the game room/merriment, so.]

Wait, wait, wait. [Merriment seems to realize something.] That's where my electronics have been going? I've been replenishing them for nothing!

okay, ray was not expecting this, but he has to stifle a laugh.]
