.... we always argue.

[and senri offers up a smile at that, brittle and insincere as it may be. but it still looks perfect on his face, not a bump or break in sight.]

But... I don't want to hear about you dying first.

[rabbits can die from loneliness after all. if taka goes first, senri might follow quickly enough after.]

If it comes down to the two of us, we'll just switch to the better god and then that's how we'll win the game.

[bakaomi]

[ there's still a lot he can say.

because even if they argue, and have tried to get away from each other, in the end taka does not actually hate senri. and he definitely doesn't want any serious harm to come to him.

but it's difficult to put that into words. ]

We'll just have to see what all the options are. I'll talk to all of the "scary" gods.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

I'm gonna try to meet at least two new gods every week to start - and I'll do favors for the ones I like. If I can get someone to tell my god that they'll defect to him, then I get a magical phone charger that never runs out of energy!

[THAT SOUNDS AWESOME BY DEFAULT REALLY]

That'll take a little more work that Beauty's.... but it's never bad to earn favor with the gods, right?

We can compare notes next week and see which gods are the best anyway.

[bakaomi]

[ taka does not volunteer as tribute because senri does not deserve a magical phone charger. ]

We can also see what we find out about the other competitors.

[ since that part is

also very important ]

[usogi]

[senri totally deserves a magical phone charger shut up]

Mm, okay.

I know someone who's on Ambition's team - but is abandoning it soon. Chuuya-san is leaving Disorder, but I think he's gonna go to Love or Sincerity since he doesn't want to go to Indulgence.

Other than that, people have been kinda tight-lipped. I'm gonna try talking to them more one on one to see if I can get them to share.

If anyone asks, can you say you think I'm on Beauty's team? It's not a lie, since that's probably your theory anyway.

[he just also hasn't confirmed it,]

[bakaomi]

It's one of two of my theories, yeah.

[ he does not say what the other one is. ]

Hm. You sure know how to make people talk to you.

[usogi]

Good - then just keep saying it for consistency.

[he doesn't seem that bothered with the impression he's giving off, shrugging easily. he can just defect when he needs to anyway]

But I was told that this is an information game and a lying game. To tell good lies, you need good info.

That's all it is.

[bakaomi]

So you should be fine.

[ he's frowning though

he knew that you'd have to lie in a game like this, but it's not like he has to like it. ]

[usogi]

.... just let me know if you want me to cover for you anywhere, dumb lion.

I know you're bad with this type of thing.

[it's

why senri can rely on him, actually]

[bakaomi]

... if anyone asks, you can say you think I'm with Justice.

[ it's the obvious one for him. ]

[usogi]

I'll pretend you never told me otherwise.

[ . . . . ]

I won't sell you out, whenever I do guess who your god is.

[bakaomi]

... stupid.

[ he huffs ]

I didn't think you would.

[usogi]

... I'm just making sure you know. Since we're not the greatest at understanding each other - with or without words.

[bakaomi]

You can't sell me out. We're going back to the same place after this.

[ that'll be awkward ]

[usogi]

You know if one of us gets our wish granted, we might not need to be at Shinonome anymore and then we don't have to be partners?

[SENRI]

[bakaomi]

[ he blinks ]

... hm. Guess you'll finally be rid of me.

[usogi]

You'll be rid of me too - it's extra incentive, you know?

[though maybe now i should mention since it's something taka would probably realize before anyone else

that senri's heart pin on the lapel of his uniform is gone]

[bakaomi]

[ taka wasn't gonna actually go and say it

so he jumps at the chance of a topic change ]

Did you offer your pin?

[usogi]

Oh.

[ . . . . . fuck]

Um. No.

[YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE HE WAS TEMPTED TO LIE]

[bakaomi]

Except it's gone?

[ hmmm ]

Did you give it to someone else?

[usogi]

.... yeah.

[and he offers up a sheepish smile]

It's fine. I just made a promise with someone. You don't have to worry about it.

[bakaomi]

[ he doesn't respond right away, but eventually sighs. ]

If that's all you wanted to tell me, I'm leaving.

[usogi]

.... bye.

[at least up until the sun falls and then they just

hang out again

because that's what they did at school]
