About Hopeless Masqurade

[divine_spirits_universe]

With a new game comes new attention. Reborn attention even. All eyes and hearts are focused on the content, slowly working themselves up as they discover new parts, deciphering new traits. Waiting for bits and pieces to be released to the masses.

Isn't it all glorious?

And of course I gladly embrace those growing desires! And I await the new rankings to see my new advanced position. For there is no conceivable way that my popularity did not immensely increase by this point, and with my actions it is easy to see that I am the favored.

And in the end, who would argue with one who dons such a lovely mantle?

Uh... you know... thy penchant for grandiose statements doesn't usually disseminate so far.


... Are you alright, bro?

[divine_spirits_universe]

Futo?

But different.

[Well either way.]

Is it not natural to feel accomplished after such a stage performance? To be a major player in more than a single game leads one to more exposure. I hear the desires of the people, and I can not sit still. These hearts that have been moved cry for more.

[vanguarddemolitionist]

Why do thee sound like thee are questioning this, my brother? Of course it is me. Did you get out for too long on a bender last night?

[Pause.]

Desires for what, bro? Thee keep talking like that and I am going to be forced to question thy propensity for knocking socks with people.

[Yeah she just went there.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

Futo, you are the one who is a bit lost here. We do not share the same world, so there is bound to be differences. Do not get lost in such details.

[vanguarddemolitionist]

Not of the same...

[vanguarddemolitionist]

Argh! This place doth again prove to be the most vexing of enigmas I hath ever seen. I am in far too many times and places for this to quite yet be so convenient, despite what they claim on the tin!

... This is so tiresome...

... But which timeline are you from?

[divine_spirits_universe]

I am of the most recent timeline of the main source. If that is helpful.

[fateofyears]

The only... conbeli--conceivable way youuuu could have gained all of that. That popularity is by wearing a cape...! Yes. That is. [ Points at her dramatically! ] That is the only reason for your popularity.

[ Eiki go home you're drunk. ]

[divine_spirits_universe]

Enma....

[Even she's having a hard time deciphering that statement.]

It is a poor sight to see such a state. But I am more than willing to help straighten out the bureaucracies of Hell if it so needs it. Though now you are my greatest enemy, I can offer that much in pity.

[fateofyears]

I am noooot---


[ Wait. ]

[fateofyears]

[ OMG-- ] You would--

you would do that for me...?

[ INSTANT BEST FRIEND, GET! ]

[divine_spirits_universe]

It is but a small matter, but there is no reason not to better it.

[And make it work better for her....]

[fateofyears]

This.... This....! [ Waaaaavering where she stands. And then a firm nod. ] I like this idea. Yes, yes, there should be no reason not to have [ Hic ] outside input [ Beat. ] Outside. Input. [ Some laughter. ] O-outside--pfft--

[ And more laughter! Oh,'outside input' what a glorious oxymoron. It is for some reason so very funny in this moment. ]

[divine_spirits_universe]

You seem to be beyond the need for outside input and more for a complete intervention.

But, perhaps that is a state most fitting and should be left as is.

[soundandfurry]

Once again, you religious types are robbing all the attention...

[divine_spirits_universe]

I can not help that I naturally attract it.

[soundandfurry]

Maybe I should start my own religion! I hear worshiping the moon is already pretty common among the youkai in my neighborhood...

[divine_spirits_universe]

With such base reasons you will never get far, people may come at first due to the initial noise, but won't stay without proper passion.

[soundandfurry]

Tut tut tut, don't you know? The Moon is a great source of passion! Why, some it would give so much passion, it could drive them mad, riiiight?

[divine_spirits_universe]

It is true with the moon odd things can happen. However that is not enough to keep people around. It is a fleeting passion, temporary and wild. Directionless.

[blackstarwitch]

Tch! You probably stole that cloak somewhere. Looks like something you'd pick up in Kourindou for half off.

[Don't mind her, she's just jealous.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

Why would I ever steal anything? If there is something I want I get it properly. Unlike some people.

But, if you have to know, I had it specially made!

[blackstarwitch]

Oh? By who? I don't think that puppeteer takes commissions and I don't know any other tailors around.

[Or maybe it's just that she doesn't do work for active thieves.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

In the human village of course. They even gave it to me free of charge.

[blackstarwitch]

Huh. I didn't know you were so popular there, ze. D'ya have a lot of worshipers there or something?
