pick a god and pray

[garudynamic]

[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]

None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.

-Yosuke

[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

I think it's fun. Our fun-loving god of fortune would've thought so too, and if Mion was as serious about games as she seemed then I'm sure there could be nothing more perfect for them.

[Pat pat!]

Besides, it's the thought and intent that count most when it comes to tributes, so I wouldn't put yourself down too much. We did just as that guy asked from us as one of his last wishes that we could grant.

[garudynamic]

I wonder... if he already had this planned when we did the speed dates.

[He doesn't sound mad. If anything there's a vague wonder in his tone. All the way to the end Yato tried to be the type of god he chose to be.

And Mion chose to do things on her own terms.]

[Sigrun grins a little at that, too amused in her tone.]

And he still tried to be all mean and cold in the end. How'd he ever think that there wouldn't be people who could see through that?

[garudynamic]

He... wasn't a great liar.

[captainobnoxious]

Pretty good at deflecting things though, until you corner him.

[... That's the second time her bloodletting has worked. Two for two. Even if she didn't get blood this time.]

Our gods don't lie to us either, back home. They just keep the truth from us until it's the right time and help us where we need them most. I'm pretty sure they can't lie, you know? Not like humans do.

[garudynamic]

That sounds about right.

[Izanami had been all about 'showing people what they wanted to see' more so then truth, but she hadn't really lied either. It was a strange grey area]
