[...there's a slow nod.]

As I've said, I never had siblings, but in my old life there were two boys I used to know. They used to rely only on each other, never letting anyone else into their world, but little by little they started to trust others. When the world changed for them, one lashed out at the other simply because he was there and their bond meant there were very few secrets between them.

...they've managed to grow up and continue to grow as people despite being complicated themselves. I think the people closest to us are the most likely to help, even if we don't always realize it immediately. Though I'm sure your brother would see that with time.

When the time is right? I think you'll know what decision to make. It doesn't have to be one that's made now, but your heart will guide you on its own. That I can assure you.

[If she'll let them, they'll reach out to place a hand over hers across the table.]

It's easy to see that you care a lot. A person is only as strong as their heart is, and it's absolutely no surprise Lady Love fought to pick you. However, in the event I do win this game, I'd like to help grant whatever wish you ask for for the sake of happiness.

Yes. My goal with the new world is to make sure people have a reason to smile every day. And if I can, I would like to make people as happy as possible. I understand that the rules dictate only the winner's followers will get their wish, but I'd like to look at other options as well for those in second place, or those I wish to help.

I haven't decided yet, but I know it could work. Players aren't the only ones who can begin forming alliances.

The easiest way, of course, is to make sure that people are aligned with gods who also have an alignment. That would help.

...Lady Love, Sincerity and I get along. Merriment will go wherever Justice and Piety go. Ambition, Disorder, and Cunning are least likely to detach from one another. Ruin doesn't exactly align with anyone though she likes Cunning, and Fortune and Indulgence have their own ways of thinking that may be swayed.

Indulgence often times has his own agenda and may not always know what it is he's agreeing to. And Fortune ultimately is very kind, but seems to know better than some of us what will and won't be a good option.

A little of both. We haven't spoken much, but that's always been the impression I've received in our exchanges. It may be better to ask her yourself. She may be more honest.
