has anyone ever heard of a god's temple not letting people in? making them feel unwelcome. that kind of thing.

Just pretend you're throwing a party and survey those who show up. They only need to walk through the door, correct? So they wouldn't know if it's really a party or not until after they've entered, and by then we'd already have what we need from them.

Unless you have any better ideas, I think that would work just fine.

[doestheickyjobs]

Or I could just ask them to come over.

Hey, it worked on you two. [There's got to be enough helpful -- or curious -- people to pick out the real reason why the temple kicks people out.]

[cloak]

Not everyone's all that generous with their time... But it's your choice in the end.

[He's always thought of Axel as a charismatic figure, though he knows that's owed at least in part to a borrowed personal bias]

[subtract]

[And to that Add is just going to ~sigh dramatically~ what a boring option...]

Fine, if you want to do it the slow way. Disguising it as a large gathering would be the same thing but more effective, and you'd need a believable excuse to call that many people over anyway. But it's your choice, I guess.

[Add just wants to disappoint a whole ton of people over a fake party and/or watch Pippa get mad about it. You're no fun, Axel.]

[doestheickyjobs]

Hey, you throw all the fake parties you want. I'm playing it safe. Let me tell you, if getting my goddess pissed at me makes it worse, inviting half the Far Shore is not the way to solve my problem.

Hey, thanks for coming by, though.

[Axel eyes the door -- so innocent-looking, so obnoxiously hard to get beyond -- and, after a moment, shrugs and turns to head away from the building. The crystal tree leaves chime gently against one another overhead.]

[Well, that's that. Roxas turns his attention to Add. He figures he'll head back to his own place, since his business is done here]

Do you want a lift back to the temple?

[As opposed to walking up all those steps himself later...]

[subtract]

Mm, fair enough. I suppose it wouldn't be wise for you to intentionally irritate your own god. [and Add isn't sure if he really wants to be that much effort into researching someone else's problem.

When his own god makes him an entirely reasonable offer, though, he reflexively scowls a little. It would be faster and easier... but that would mean admitting he needs help getting around. And why is Roxas being so helpful?? It's suspicious.

He crosses his arms, stepping away from the building as well.]

I can walk. [screw u roxas how dare you be nice]

[cloak]

Alright.

[He shrugs then, supposing Add might benefit from the exercise since he's chosen that route]

Don't be late for dinner.

[And with that, he vanishes]
