Chuuya | Week 1: Wednesday Evening

[frilly]

[ It is bed time! Madoka has returned to the pajamas she arrived in, but. Isn't quite ready for bed yet, so she's just kind of kicking her legs over the edge of the bed she's claimed. ]

It's too bad we can't take things, anymore. I would have brought a book to read in bed or something...

[goatsongs]

No?

[What a question.]

Besides, Sincerity likes me. If I have to ask for something else later, I'll make another offering, it'll be fine.

[frilly]

Oh, is that the god you chose to align with?

[goatsongs]

The one I'm switching to on Sunday. Technically I'm still aligned with Disorder, but I don't want to think of her as my patron any more than I have to.

[He really doesn't like her.]

[frilly]

So Sincerity bribed you with a picture frame. [ that's a joke. ]

... But - you chose Disorder to start with...?

[goatsongs]

I decided to switch with them before the picture frame, they didn't have to bribe me at all.

Only because I liked my other two choices even less. Disorder at least had Dadaist poetry going for her.

[it's not much, but it's a positive association.]

[frilly]

[ she laughs. ]

I'm glad you found one you like better, then.

[goatsongs]

Me too. -I hope you and yours are getting along?

[Madoka doesn't need to tell him who. It's enough just that she's happy with her choice.]

[frilly]

I haven't talked to them yet, but I'm hoping to, soon.

[goatsongs]

You should when you get the chance. It's no good to put your support behind a god you don't actually support.

[frilly]

People do it all the time.

[ that's... kind of a joke? ]

[goatsongs]

Still dumb.

[he wants better for you!!]

[frilly]

I think as long as you know the main thing that they stand for, that can be enough. It's okay to not be known as a person, but as a concept.

... But I do still want to speak with them.

[goatsongs]

Maybe, but maybe they're a little lonely? Just being known as a concept and not having that personal connection.

['Human connection' doesn't seem appropriate.]

[frilly]

I thought - they have each other, don't they?

[ They're not totally alone. ]

[goatsongs]

If they were that close friends, they wouldn't be having this competition.

[frilly]

That's true... Close friends wouldn't be fighting for power like this...

[goatsongs]

Exactly. They talk, but they're not good friends, or anyway most of them aren't.

[Maybe some of them get along alright. Who knows.]

[frilly]

Maybe they get along, but just need mediators...?

[ she really wants to believe they're all friends ]

[goatsongs]

There's at least a couple that none of the other gods like, and I know Sincerity and Disorder really don't like each other.

[sorry honey]

[frilly]

Not everyone can be friends, I guess...

[ she still sounds like. she thinks they could work it out if they tried!! ]

[goatsongs]

[she's a good bean.]

Sometimes people just can't get along with each other. Or are jerks.

[frilly]

I know...

[ sigh ]

[goatsongs]

[Can he pat her on the head without her getting mad.]

[frilly]

[ She'll accept it this time, since her hair is down.

But she laughs and seems a little startled by it. ]

[goatsongs]

You're a good kid. If everyone were more like you, then we'd all get along fine.

[Unfortunately,]
