#status 7

- religion collector

[as you talk, you see the other Statuses gathering 6 from a distance away. 2 is also there and he has popcorn]

6: Well the prophet/divine being of Daily Quests instructs us with the titular daily quests on how we live our lives, and it is our sacred duty to complete them within the 24-hour period. As well as recruit some other believers along the way.

[Suddenly, 7 shouts something out.]

7: AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NON-BELIEVERS?

6: Well, they simply live less fulfilling lives. Sucks for them, end of story.

[all the other Statuses have odd expressions. they weren't expecting this response.]

4: Did. Did their Doctrine... update?

7: Great. Now I just look like a prick.

2: wahtat sposrtsops gamesmesm is thsitsi againga?

- a religion collector

7: Wh- really?

DANG IT!

6, get over here.

[6 appears. 7 begrudgingly gives 100 gold and then leaves. It seems he just lost a bet.]

However, separating the crops did prevent them from... fusing, as they did before.

6: Where's Eight?

7: Beats me.

4: One will be occupied for the time being. He has requested that we operate The Machine in his stead.

[Two starts vibrating rapidly.]

4: He also requested that, quote, "somebody competent do it. Not two again."

[Two rotates 90 degrees and falls face down.]

5: 5o who shall it be?

6: Me?

7: No way. We don't need you preaching to the masses.

?: How aboit moi? Oi'm a groit joidge of choiractoir!

#: I'm not sure we actually know what "operating The Machine" means.

4: From what I can infer, it is very difficult to get wrong.

[The Others look at two.]
