... it's not really groundbreaking, but I want to make sure of something....
[ . . . he seems to hesitate, trying to pick his words before he continues on.]
I don't know how much you tell Mizuki-san about me, and I don't want to put Ogou-san in a position where he feels weird about it, but... if possible, please don't let them know anything about me - my personal life or otherwise.
I'd like it if you could stay their ally in this game for as long as possible, even if they feel like they can't trust me.
I ain't a snitch, Senri-kun. Ya don't gotta worry about me sayin' anythin' even to Mizucchi. [ a beat as he looks down and runs a hand through his hair ] That bein' said... they're real important to me too, ya know? I ain't abandoning them, or you, or Madoka-chan.
[ he laughs. ]
The three of ya really fucked me up with that Ogou-san shit.
[and that manages to get senri's expression to warm considerably, he's feeling terribly fond now. poor sasuke.]
.... mm-hmm. That's because you're a really nice person, Ogou-san.
I'm worried about them... I think that they're trying to do a lot of things all by themselves - but won't really take my help either. I'm trying to spread around what I know, because I don't know what to do with it all on my own...
Oh - but I had an idea! If you switch gods, your coin gets a little more tarnished - so this weekend if we have to do a trial again, can you help me encourage everyone to show their coins? That way we can rule out whoever has a perfect coin to not be the Ruin follower that hurt Fortune.
Okay - just don't bring up my name in it or they'll think I'm trying to turn you against them, probably.
[SENRI KNOWS SO MANY PARANOID TYPES.]
You're super straightforward, Ogou-san, and it's great, but I don't want to get in trouble.
[smh.]
But when I left Cheri, my coin got tarnished - and I swapped again to Cunning this week to make Bambi happy, and it got tarnished even more. Sasuke's looks even more beat up than mine.
I asked the gods and they said that it's nothing to worry about - it just shows defections.
I try not to out other people's alignments until I have to - they're safer if they're mostly just with me. It's like how I won't share Ogou-san's, because that's yours. Not mine.
That person said that if they ever have to leave Cheri - whether it's because of Bambi's power or otherwise - they'll tell me. Then I can switch places with them so Cheri's always protected.
[oh - senri will mirror the gesture. his coin is fairly tarnished]
That's okay.
I was with Aimi when she suddenly got the injuries from Ruin's follower. I knew what they said before she announced it - she can confirm that much. There's no way that it was me.
I'm clear, and I've convinced some other people to help me... so I'm hoping with enough pressure, everyone else will do the same.

Holy shit.
Senri-kun I am so fuckin' sorry.
no subject
It's okay. That doesn't hurt as much as when the idiot got stabbed.
[WHY DID SASUKE PICK THIS WEEK TO GET INJURED FIVE HUNDRED TIMES HUH]
no subject
no subject
[JUST SAYING - ]
I think it was an accident on the climbing wall. He was trying to help Taka, but ended up getting hurt himself....
And I was with Beauty, who had to patch me up.
[he crosses his arms]
... I'd like a calm week, just for once - but that's not actually the important thing I wanted to tell you.
no subject
[ but otherwise senri brings up a. good point. so he lets that go... ]
What other groundbreakin' revelations do ya have for me...?

[ that info, though... hm. ]
So that means Sincerity-han's last follower ain't you or Madoka-chan. Ugh... what a headache.

[senri,]

I'm guessin' you're gonna say it ain't your place to tell me.

How the hell did we get from last god standin' to... whatever we got now?
no subject
... I don't know if other people are playing the game that I am. I... don't even know if I can protect the people that I want to protect this way.
But - I feel like I should try, you know?
no subject
We clearly got at least one psychopath who ain't playin' to make friends.
no subject
Yeah.
I want to find them - that's why I'm going to try the coin thing. Anyone with perfect coins can be cleared of suspicion, at least.

[ at that, majima pulls out his own coin. it is pristine. ]

[ he doesn't sigh in relief. what are you talking about. ]
A lotta people tell me I'm a pretty likable guy. Guess I can see if they're right if I can help rally support, too.
no subject
I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Ogou-san.
There's a lot that might happen this weekend so... I'm a little nervous, but I'll keep hoping that everything's going to work out.
