Exactly.

By the way, did you get around to meeting Indulgence yet?

jan,

[usogi]

I think we're going to try later today.

So I guess it's actually 25 chance Indulgence decides he hates me, 25 chance Uchiha stabs me himself after the meeting, 50 chance I'll be totally okay.

what,

[selfimmolates]

Slowpoke.

[smh]

Well, do your best. I've checked off the gods on my list, Ruin included—unless you know what to offer Ambition by now...?

[usogi]

I wasn't going to sacrifice my arm when I could've waited just a few more days.

[HE'S NOT RECKLESS LIKE SOME PEOPLE HERE]

... but I need to figure out if I'm ready to talk to Ambition yet. I might get too angry, and that's not good for first impressions.

[selfimmolates]

It's called loopholes, which is what I did for Ruin.

[and others, as part of his needlessly complicated sidequest to meet ruin,]

C'mon. Put those acting skills to good use.

[usogi]

I can, obviously, but I've never lost a friend before. My emotions might get the better of me if she says something that makes me angry, and that'll be a mess.

[he's actually decently self-aware of his own grief at least]

I'll work on it.

[selfimmolates]

You have to. It likely won't be the last time you feel anger here, so you don't have the luxury of time.

[usogi]

Fiiiine, fine. I'll see what I can do - the new locations don't make it as easy for me as it was before.

[CAKES]

[selfimmolates]

You can cook, can't you?

[usogi]

Only basic things - I'll have to work a little harder and learn something new to make something that'd impress a cute girl.

Normally I just take them out to movies, or they come to see my show and I give them a flower from a bouquet.

[selfimmolates]

For someone who hates talking about his love life, you really like to make everything about flirting.

[usogi]

I like cute girls - but the ones my age aren't my type, even though they're fun to hang out with. I'd like an older woman to take care of me!

[oh bad]

[selfimmolates]

[ray has met two older women in his life and they were both horrible.]

Why, can't take care of yourself?

[usogi]

I've always had to take care of myself! I want to take it easy for once!

[selfimmolates]

[can't empathize.

ray just gives senri a longsuffering look.]

[usogi]

Oh come on, why wouldn't you want to live in the lap of luxury?

[selfimmolates]

I'll settle for basic comforts.

[usogi]

... mm, I guess.

I just think if people put in hard work like you, they should be able to reap the benefits that match.

[selfimmolates]

... Says the person who wants to be lazy.

[usogi]

I worked hard so I get to be lazy later.

[selfimmolates]

Is that how it works?

[usogi]

Uh-huuuuuh.

[and senri will just sigh as he glances toward ray's cup]

All done? I'm gonna go track down Uchiha. If Indulgence was a former ruler, maybe if we dress for an audience he'll agree to see us.

[selfimmolates]

Good luck with that, and try not to die.

[usogi]

I'm thinking about putting a muzzle on Uchiha. Maybe it'll up my chances of survival.

[please shut up]

[selfimmolates]

Well, I guess it's your corpse we'll be seeing this week.
