Well... seems like there's a few of you who are ready to sell us out.
[His voice is soft- not really angry, but there's a sinister lilt to it.]
And here I thought we were all growing to be one big, happy family. I can't say I'm fond of the necessity of weeding out spies in our city, but... listen, we're all in a flurry about this. We need to do something, and everyone wants a say in how we're supposed to move forward from here.
[Which has been a headache and a half for all of the gods. Sure, they get along in the grand scheme of things, but there's definitely a little clash of ideals going on, and frankly, Fear is tired of the arguing.]
So what I thought we'd do is to have you vote on who's in charge here. Who takes action and comes up with a game plan on how we're going to suss out what the Null are planning. Obviously, Sorrow wants to be our fearless leader, but his methods are a little... direct. Delight and Rage would probably have a little murder mystery party when they get back, Tranquility and Confusion- I'm not sure if they'd actually do anything at all, come to think of it.
[Christ, this is a mess.]
As far as Love and myself go... I can think of a few people I'd like to personally interrogate.
Anyway, cast your votes or ask your standard slew of questions. Yes, I realize that some of the dissenters will be voting, yeah I know that you all want to be in charge instead- there's probably a few of us who might bend our ears to you, but as we can't put a hundred people in charge, it's gonna be one of us.
[A pause.]
Sorry.
[Happy voting?]

Plus, you're expendable to them- don't forget that part. You're just the same to them alive as you are dead- whereas with us, the living part weighs out. [There's a pause, and he smirks.] Despite the occasional sass.
Re: [Video]
...of me? Seriously? Why me?
[gives a slow nod]
I know. I won't. As I said, they're fucking creepy.
I still don't know which gods I should vote for. Could you maybe tell me a little more about 'em so I can choose better?

[He's like a proud papa.]
Anyway, they're all pretty complicated. Any specifically you're curious about?
Re: [Video]
[and she's a lonely eighteen year old girl]
...probably the emotions I'm not so familiar with. Like Delight, Hope, Love, and Tranquility.
[Video]
[That's... a little sad, George.]
Delight is a bit of an airhead, but she means well. Of course, she wants everyone to be happy, and she'll do anything to achieve that goal. I doubt she'd let Rage be too strict on you.
Hope is- well, he's hope. Annoying, stick up his ass, and all around difficult to get along with. [There might be a history there...] But he's a good ally I guess, and he believes in fairness and helping all of you when he can.
Love is good- they're a little more outlandish than most of the rest of us, and so if Love and I were chosen, I'd likely be the one running the show, which of course, I'd advocate for.
And Tranquility... well, he's very tranquil. Mostly just calm, down-to-earth, and agreeable.
[A pause.]
Very agreeable.
Re: [Video]
[she was clinically depressed even before she died, sooooo
she takes a while to ponder his answers]
I'm kind of leery of anything involving rage, even indirectly. And I don't like airheads. Hope is something I'm bad at. I dunno how well I'd get along with 'im. Tranquility sounds okay, but I'm confused enough as it is. I don't need a god making it worse.
I guess I'm gonna go with you and Love. 'Cause you seem cool even though you're a god of fear. You haven't really tried to scare me or anything. Which I appreciate.

[He nods.]
We'll see how this all ends up.
Re: [Video]
I, well, I hope it goes well. And that no one's stupid enough to actually side with the Null 'cause they seem shifty as fuck.
[Video]
[Dryly.]
And- thank you.
Re: [Video]
You're welcome. Maybe next time we can have a nice chat without the whole looming doom thing?

[He's as much of a fan of the looming doom thing as anyone else- which is to say, not a lot, outside of the fear it generates for him.]
