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?]

[Your legal system is a bit fucked up.]
Would you not say that what we've done is also self defense?
[Video]
[He shrugs a little at Fear's last question, and nods.]
Yeah. Or maybe not self-defense exactly, but survival; it's not like this whole thing is for fun. You all legit have to do the events and stuff to survive, and I guess that's why I'm personally not pissed about it anymore; you guys have a right to live too.

[It's a complicated situation anyway.]
You can consider this investigation to be us not turning our backs on you, then- to avoid that knife.

[It's not like he thinks it's something that really deserves appreciation; all he's saying is that they don't deserve to die for no reason. Even if the situation's definitely complicated, he wishes everyone could agree on that much at least.]
I guess that's fair, yeah. And I mean, I'm not planning on doing any shanking anyway, back or otherwise.
[So really, this is everyone else's problem, and if they're really considering killing Hope then they kind of deserve the scrutiny as long as it doesn't go too overboard.]

[He offers a smile, though it's not the most reassuring expression in the world.]
I'll remember this- for later.

hopefullymeant.]Ominous, but okay, cool.
[He's half joking on the ominous part.]
I'll uh, let you get back to the planning, though. Thanks for um, listening to the stuff I was worried about.
