[senri is trying so hard to continue with life as usual?? he's in the kitchen trying to make a parfait....

he turns when he hears ray's voice though - ]

Ah, there you are. Do you want some? Or something else?

[he's in public he has no time to be depresso]

[selfimmolates]

Well, first I wanted to amend my previous instructions.

Don't go into the wings without supervision. Additional condition: this supervision needs to not be Strung Red to you.

[usogi]

You can just tell me if you wanted a parfait or not....

[CRY]

.... thanks for everything. Sorry to be a hassle again.

[selfimmolates]

If I have to patch Sasuke up for the third time this week, I'm going to kill him myself.

[ray is so tired]

Anyway, how are you holding up? Don't overexert yourself. After Emma lost her ear, she kept pushing herself until she fainted and made all our siblings worry, so don't you dare do the same thing or I'll kill you too.

[usogi]

Please stop saying the word 'kill' it's Thursday and we're sharing a room with you.

[GOD DAMMIT RAY,,]

... I'm okay. I have to rest a lot, but when that happens, I just go back to where I've been staying. At least when I'm around, I'm trying to be normal so people don't have to question it. I don't have the same constitution as Sasuke....

More than that - did Zo talk to you?

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, she did.

[usogi]

Awesome - so I'm still going to try the coin thing first, and act like she never talked to me about it.

[it'll just be easier that way?]

Are you still continuing the same?

[selfimmolates]

Yeah. If anything, this just makes things better for me.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

Are you enjoying your five-dimensional chess?

[selfimmolates]

I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it. It's just what I do.

[usogi]

Fair enough.... Well, I trust you to do what you need to.

I'll do my part - and I guess we'll stay in Beauty's room tonight....

[god that's so awkward still]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah. Make sure Sasuke behaves or else I'll be held responsible.

[usogi]

He'll be fine. He knows how much I care about Beauty, so he won't start trouble.

[and apparently that's enough to get sasuke to behave these days]

[selfimmolates]

If you say so.

[usogi]

I do.

[and on that note - ]

So Indulgence, right? Water into Wine for your medical supplies?

[selfimmolates]

A liquid's a liquid.

[usogi]

Yeah, no one would've ever guessed you'd go to him of all people.

[selfimmolates]

Not at all.

He's pretty easy to handle, though.

[usogi]

I haven't gone back since Sasuke ruined my first impression for me.

[senri,]

Find out anything interesting? He's actually the least popular among all of the other gods, as far as I can tell.

[selfimmolates]

He's upset because he actually had a loyal follower but they were a target of Advancement Opportunity?

[he shrugs.]

He's actually not a bad god to stick with, practically speaking. His rewards are useful and he'll jump at the chance to show off how generous he is.

It's just that he's been so picky that a lot of people weren't able to get audiences with him.

[usogi]

.... do you think the Ambitions all found each other and agreed to do this to scramble people up? Or do you think that it's just luck?

[he doesn't know any Ambitions rip,,]

I'll try to talk to him again... A lot of the gods don't take him seriously, so I don't want that to be a friction point later when we all leave, you know?

[selfimmolates]

I have no idea. I told Takaomi to send the one he knows my way, but we'll see if they can face me.

Don't get him alcohol. He prefers anything with actual effort—he didn't even like Takaomi's cake but gave him points for making it, at least.

[usogi]

.... Bakaomi made a cake and didn't give me any?

[focus]

[selfimmolates]

[senri,]

It was a shitty cake, apparently, so you didn't miss much.

[usogi]

Oh. .... yeah, he can only make burgers.

[okay he feels a little better]

But fine, fine... I'll see if my luck with parfaits continues. [like the one that he needs to start eating now?] But I'll figure out who else I can talk to...

Maybe Catra-san is Ambition?
