Well, sure, but that's a given.

[ The Church seems to have a lot of influence... they're gonna start in a strong lead, no matter how the cookie crumbles. The pony is in fact chewing on the end of his shirt, and he's gently in a tug of war with it... he's not gonna let it stop him from talking to Will, though. ]

But people like an underdog story... I'm sure that's true even in your world. [ He believes in him!!! ] I imagine you're far from the only one who has problems with how things are. You've already made it pretty damn far, if it went from several hundred to twenty.

[nodding in agreement. it's definitely a given. also Will is coming to save him from the pony by offering the cranky creature a carrot]

I'm definitely not the only one who is advocating for change.

[and here. . . he pauses, brows knitted together, features tight]

[. . .]

The person in second place-- Louis Guiabern-- is a strong critic of the Sanctist church's teachings. He didn't care for the previous king, either.

[haircared]

[ oh thank god.... he happily accepts Will's help, holding his hands up and out of the way. ]

So, then... isn't that good? There's more of a chance someone will win and balance the scales.

[ If there are multiple people in the race looking to tear down the new order, that seems like a pretty good outcome to him, at least in his imagination. ]

[l. . . lmfao. the way Will tenses, his gaze trained sharply on the pony as he feeds it a carrot, narrowing slightly, may be a bit. . . telling. . .]

[. . .]

[after a moment. . . he looks up, directly at one of the cameras, and replies]

He has a lot of public support. Many people-- like him-- were unhappy with the previous king.

[haircared]

"Unhappy," how?

[ Will's tenseness is telling. He backpedals. ]

You said most of the people in your "world" look down on the elda, your tribe. So, if that same majority is unhappy with the king... I guess the next person in line that's supported by them isn't going to be favorable to you. Right?

[at another one of the cameras]

[and then he turns back to Josuke and smiles]

. . . we're both trying to become king. So I suppose you could say. . . we're rivals?
