Why not? Who's really stopping you?

[gamerbrain]

God.

[probe]

...but...aren't you...?

[help.]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi is an Avatar of God, so Aoi has to act on God's behalf.

[probe]

Okay, but what if God changed the plan? Would you have to follow that, too? And God's not here anyway.

[gamerbrain]

God has never changed the plan before, but Aoi supposes she would have to follow a new one.

But God is never here. That's why Aoi is here, on behalf of God.

[probe]

Okay but if God isn't here, how do you know what God wants you to do? You could change your mind without God actually knowing.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi knows, because Aoi was created by God for this purpose.

Aoi could change her mind and do something else, but then Aoi would disappear. Aoi has to fulfill her purpose.

[probe]

Aoi--you wouldn't have to disappear if you had enough power to change everything.

[gamerbrain]

[ she doesn't seem to really understand. it's fine. ]

... Aoi came here to ask about indulgences...

[probe]

Oh. [that's at least something they can maybe explain better.] What kind of questions do you have? I can do my best to answer.

[gamerbrain]

What sort of things Aoi should be doing. You said you could help Aoi come up with ideas.

[probe]

That's right! [they lean against a counter with their dessert.] So let's start with a question. What do you think lust is?

[gamerbrain]

Sexual desire.

[probe]

Okay, yeah, but...what else do you think of when you hear it?

[gamerbrain]

What else?

[ wh...at... ]

[probe]

Like...like a lust for life! Or a lust for desserts! You can totally want things that aren't sex and have it be just as intense.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop...

[ that doesn't sound right, but i don't know enough about emotions to dispute it. ]

[probe]

...you can also make people lust after you without actually giving them what they want. That counts.

[gamerbrain]

Got it. Aoi could be a tease.

[probe]

Yeah, now you're getting it! You can text sexy things to people and leave them on read, or you can wear something really cute that nobody else gets to touch. Stuff like that counts! You don't have to have sex with everybody if you don't really want to.

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi still has to fulfill her purpose. But this still helps.

[probe]

It's about having something people want and then denying them from having it, or pushing them so far they get so overwhelmed they have to have it for themselves. Making people work for it counts, too.

[gamerbrain]

Question!

Then what's the difference between lust and gluttony and greed?

[probe]

Easy! Lust is when you want something so bad you can't even concentrate on anything else, even when you already have it. Gluttony is when you want something and binge it, like cake or that 50-episode anime that never got a second season. And Greed is when you want something and nothing stops you from taking it, even if you don't actually need it.
