Week Two

[letsplayamod]

Okay, maybe it hasn't been so easy. You've been enjoying a relatively pleasant time here with your fellow gods and Athena, only for a disgruntled Titan to seemingly pull the rug out from under that.

Despite the immediate threat from a hidden foe, you've managed to stave off their first attack. However, even if the grass may seem greener this week, or the sky a bit clearer, Athena can barely hide her troubled feelings. If this experiment is to be a success, what has to happen to make it that way?

You're all alive, though. That's worth celebrating, isn't it?

Which is a bad thing..?

[It sounds like Aoi thinks it is, at least.]

[yourheroine]

It was always going to happen. Aoi couldn't stay in that world forever. But...

...Aoi didn't even get to reach the happy ending.

[sweetsynergy]

[Well that has implications.]

...Mukou your god fucking sucks. Have you considered replacing them?

[yourheroine]

Aoi doesn't know how. Wouldn't I disappear if God went away?

[She frowns.]

Besides, it was Aoi's fault things turned out how they did.

[sweetsynergy]

First, no.

[Like. Probably. Vanity has no actual way of knowing, but she doubts Aoi's "God" is in any reasonable way here and Aoi still looks pretty stubbornly existent to her.]

Second, so fucking what? There's assholes out there screwing up every goddamn day of their lives and we're supposed to just deal with it, you're gonna give up just because you fucked up one time?

[yourheroine]

[She retreats a little under the glare.]

...it's better for them if Aoi never sees them again.

[sweetsynergy]

Maybe?

[There is context missing here.]

What about what's better for Aoi?

[yourheroine]

…

That doesn’t matter anymore.

[She’s never going to see them again even if she wants to.]

[sweetsynergy]

[There's a brief face journey here, but the final stop is disgust.]

Fine. If all you want to be is some asshole's fucking toy soldier, that's your business.

[yourheroine]

[Aoi's eyes travel back to the ground when she sees the disgust on Vanity's face.]

...Aoi just wants to help this world now.

[sweetsynergy]

Yeah, I know, cause Athena asked. Just trading one god for another.

[yourheroine]

If Aoi doesn’t follow the goal of this world…there won’t be any purpose for my existence.

I don’t wanna disappear.

[sweetsynergy]

You're not gonna fucking disappear for not being a good little puppet for five minutes.

[probably]

[vanity might be confident but I know better than to blindly trust like that]

[yourheroine]

Yes I am!

[Aoi’s small voice can’t quite manage to yell, but she’s firm and emotional.]

God’s done it to other Aois. Once I stop collecting CGs and lose all my battery…there’s no more use for me. When Aoi tried to stay last game…

[Well, she’s said how that turned out.]

[sweetsynergy]

Yeah. Cause your god fucking sucks.

[don't you wanna go apeshit, Aoi]

And this isn't a fucking game anymore, you don't have to worry about that fucking slimeball!

[yourheroine]

...

[Aoi can't really respond to that. If this isn't a game anymore, Aoi doesn't know what'll happen to her.]

Is that true? Even if Aoi's in reality...I'm...

[sweetsynergy]

Pretty sure it's true, yeah.

[Despite Sayo's opinions on working hypotheses regarding puzzles and gameplay.]

... you're what. Bound by the rules? Because here's the secret no one wants to say out loud, rules only matter if people care about them. Every single one. It's all made up.
