Yup. Everyone's now convinced I was with Justice last week and so generously outed myself for the sake of catching Newt.

[usogi]

Well, guess it doesn't matter since Justice lost three followers this week. Do you think Mouri-san switched to try to protect himself?

[selfimmolates]

It's possible. His coin was tarnished before, right? That means he switched to Justice at some point, so I doubt there's a whole lot of personal loyalty going on there.

[usogi]

Maybe a detective, or whatever he is, just feels like he should be committed to Justice. He seems like the type of person who'd believe in that. It's why I thought Bakaomi's god was Justice at first, when we were playing our game.

I take him as the kind of person who believes very strongly in his ideals. But he might've gone to Merriment, if he wants to use All Nighter to maintain some kind of night patrol.

That's just what I think though.

[selfimmolates]

Maybe. Or who knows? He could be our second Disorder follower who joined to protect her.

That's kind of a hilarious image, though.

[usogi]

Oh my god, she'd eat him alive.

[selfimmolates]

She really would.

[usogi]

Well, I guess we'll find out...

You'd think that knowing over half of the game's current alignments would work in our favor, but I'm still somehow stumped on the people I have no clue over...

[selfimmolates]

You've probably accomplished more than most of us in that regard. So, you're not doing horribly.

[usogi]

I could be doing better...

[senri takes one thing seriously at a time - back home it was his acting skills, and here it's some conglomerate of his acting skills and sociability

anyway,]

I'll take the encouragement though. Thanks.

[selfimmolates]

Hang in there.

[usogi]

I'll be fine....

[probably,,]

I know there are some things here that only I can do....

Mm, that reminds me though - someone asked me if we could try to talk to the gods and convince them into granting more wishes than just their followers, if they win.

[selfimmolates]

... Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the competition, though?

[usogi]

Not necessarily. Cheri mentioned it to me a while back... You might not be able to get your whole wish if you're not with the god that wins, but you should be able to get at least a little something for all the trouble we've gone through.

No matter what, everyone will be revived - but depending on how kind the god that wins is feeling, you could still get something extra at the end.

[selfimmolates]

I see.

Well, it's worth a shot. I bet Love would be happy to, if nothing else.

[usogi]

[senri nods]

I think so. Cheri, too. I'm sure Beauty would too - but I'm going to ask.

Of the gods currently in the lead... I guess would you mind seeing how Justice feels about it? I can talk to Bambi. The person that mentioned it to me is going to talk to Cunning.

[selfimmolates]

Sure. I'll have to pick up the schematics for Ishikirimaru's hand whenever Justice is done with those, anyway.

[usogi]

Sounds good to me.

I'll let you know if I make any progress on everything else this week.

[ALIGNMENT HUNT]

i hate this so much

[usogi]

[SEVERAL HOURS LATER]

I realize you didn't technically lie - but you could just tell me you decided on something else instead of going back to Love.

[selfimmolates]

[he sighs.]

Takaomi?

[usogi]

No, but now I'm extra offended you told Taka before me.

Did you join the Merriment team?

[selfimmolates]

Yeah. Congrats on figuring it out.

[usogi]

Why keep it from me?

[selfimmolates]

[...]

Because I didn't need you worrying or trying to look out for me.

[usogi]

Even though you're trying to look out for the rest of us?

You know if you told me earlier, I could've convinced Jude-kun to switch to Battle Armor so he could use it on you - all it would've taken was a half-truth about how you probably painted a target on your back after last trial.
