I'm going to make the kind of world where anyone can live their lives if they're willing to work for it. Aside from that, the specifics don't really matter to me that much. What I want is to be the one in charge of the gods.
[she giggles]
Why do you think the others hate the idea of me winning so badly? My type of world wouldn't be bad for anyone, but they hate the idea of having to answer to me. So they use my name to make people think the kind of world I want will be a nightmare. Which isn't true at all!
[Can you practically see her rolling her eyes behind her mask... because she is]
The "reluctant leader" thing... Everyone says they want that, but in practice, the people who don't want to be in charge but end up there anyway just end up pushing the work on everyone else.
If I'm just going to end up picking up someone else's slack, why not go for the top spot myself?
Because it doesn't sound like you want to be the leader because you think you're the best fit, and you'd be able to help people more than anyone else. It sounds like you just want to be in charge.
A world is a world. People live in it. I'm not going to say I have some lofty goal like I'll make sure everyone who lives there is beautiful or their lives will be one big party like some people will.

[Ruin... stomps their foot.]
But, you aren't so bad, Zoe. ♡

[A beat, and then:]
Since you don't get many visitors, is there anything you want to do while you do have one?
no subject
[the gods know all about them, of course, but... it's more interesting to hear it from their own mouths.]
Why did you pick the god you did? ♡
no subject
The answer, when it comes, is honest.]
Because of my brother.

[There's a definite perplexed tone to Ruin's voice.]
Not for yourself?
no subject
It depends what you mean by 'for myself'.

[Ruin shrugs.]
You're playing for your own personal reasons, so I thought you'd choose for personal reasons too.

[A beat.]
I just think that maybe, in a world ruled by someone who values love more than anything else, he would have made it.

A moment or two passes before the god speaks again.]
You know any of us will have the power to bring him back if you win, right? If that's what you want.

[But from the tense way that comes out, and how she immediately moves on, it’s not something she wants to dwell on.]
What were you about to say?
no subject
[Ruin shrugs delicately.]
There are things all of us can't say.

[Ruin shrugs again.]
I'm not able to say more than that. So sorry! ♡

What about you? What kind of world would you make?

Some people might be worried about how you’re focused on being in charge.
