[the tea isn't poisoned, is it.]

Go ahead.

[ritualization]

[it's not poison or weed I swear.]

I don't know yet if the numbers may have shifted such that they've left and we simply gained another-- but are you aware of anyone else with my ability?

[he sets the cup down, with a sigh.]

I know there's someone who hasn't been using it, but considering the current rules... I have little choice but to try a bit harder to make contact, before we meet in a more unfortunate way than we need to.

[a pause, and-]

Ah, and I spoke to Indulgence, so there's one for your list.

[selfimmolates]

[he shakes his head.]

Sorry. You're the only one I know of, though I can keep an ear out.

Thanks.

[ritualization]

I'd appreciate that. Just send them to me, if you find out and would rather not tell me directly.

[that'll be good enough for now, at least.]

Speaking of that, though-- what do you make of the new standings?

[selfimmolates]

Justice's boost in popularity is the main surprise. When I spoke to him yesterday, he was fairly confident he wouldn't lose any, but I wasn't aware of anyone planning to join him.

Otherwise, it was mostly expected.

[ritualization]

I didn't see that one coming, either-- I did expect Cunning to gain some, and I am relieved that more than one didn't drop to zero.

[but also

that 1 tho.]

Still a bit close for comfort, in other ways.

[selfimmolates]

A few of the gods were relatively sure they'd have at least one follower left, and I'm glad they were right.

[because he does not want to think about the guilt if one of his favoured gods dropped to zero when he was thinking about switching to them. ): ]

We'll see how this week goes... especially since it seems like Ambition's followers are Advancement Opportunity-happy.

[ritualization]

That's my primary concern, honestly-- especially if it'll be breaking a rule not to use it, when they have it.

[and the pool of people any of them can do it to is only getting smaller.]

[selfimmolates]

Seriously, I hope we can figure out who has it—the multiple people who do.

[ritualization]

...as do I.

[nothing else would throw a bigger wrench into literally everything he's doing than to get targeted with that. he has some Concerns.]

Unfortunately, I can't offer anything on that front.

[selfimmolates]

Neither can I. I don't know a single Ambition follower.
