He doesn't know that I'm aware of his current alignment. It's also risky for me to call him out on anything—he could try and paint me as an accomplice, since I'm assisting with upgrading his weaponry.

[usogi]

Hmm... Good point.

I'll tell Shishimaru too.

[senri shut up]

[selfimmolates]

[he sighs.]

Do what you want. I still think trying to redeem the guy is naive. Too much risk, not a worthwhile enough benefit that couldn't be achieved through other means.

[usogi]

Yeah, I know.

[he'll at least admit as much]

It's why I'm not asking you to help. I'll try to figure this one out.

[without his emotional support gremlin]

[selfimmolates]

Idiot. What are you even trying to prove?

[usogi]

... I don't know.

[and he'll at least be honest about that.]

I guess I just - don't believe in leaving people alone, without anyone else to count on. I know that's what he wants but... I don't think he's thought it through either.

[selfimmolates]

[...

there's a flicker of a faraway look in ray's eyes, before it switches back to his usual expression.]

Well, there's your first problem. People who feel that way are usually themselves pretty bad about counting on others.

[usogi]

[senri tilts his head]

What do you mean, Ray-kun?

[selfimmolates]

[he shrugs.]

Exactly what I said.

[usogi]

Well... it'll all work out the way that it's supposed to. I'll be as careful as I can anyway.

[but

how careful is that exactly,]

[selfimmolates]

You mean, in your death, and not at all?

[usogi]

Please don't speak so confidently, I'll be offended.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, that's a feature, not a bug.

[he half-sighs (again), half-blows his bangs out of his eyes.]

Anyway, as much as I'd rather you change your mind, you're obviously too much of a moron to, so I'll lend a hand with Sasuke as long as it doesn't interfere with my own dealings with him.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

You don't have to, you know...

It doesn't really have that much to do with the game - you probably have enough on your plate?

[selfimmolates]

Not really. If anything, I have too much free time in this place.

[usogi]

[what the fuck]

Even after talking to all the gods? I always imagine you as someone who scrambles around the whole temple while I'm not looking...

[selfimmolates]

It doesn't take that long to do that.

[... so does this mean ray does in fact scramble around the whole temple? who knows.]

Besides, unlike you, I don't go around talking to every person in sight.

[usogi]

.... I don't talk to every person.

[that's rude, ray]

Who do you think is trustworthy enough to talk to anyway? I have a list... but I don't know if it matches up with yours.

[given that ray is even more paranoid than him]

[selfimmolates]

[sounds fake]

You mean participant-wise? Depends on how you define "trustworthy".

[usogi]

Alignments, I guess. And preferably who is the least murderous of the pack...

[selfimmolates]

In terms of least murderous...

Beauty and Justice were the only two who didn't have caveats to their "no-murder" rule. Justice said he could understand self-defence, but even that has its "limits", so I suspect said limit falls short of killing. And as for Beauty, I don't think I need to explain your own god to you—unless he's said something else?

Oh, and Love. But whereas Beauty would blame himself, Love would just be really pissed off at you for doing it, like she was with Itachi.

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . ugh. senri looks emotional again]

Beautyyyyyy.

[sorry he'll put himself back together in a second]

[selfimmolates]

[sENRI]

Are you going to get emotional whenever I say his name!?

[usogi]

Only when it's about how sweet and wonderful he is!!

[senri you gay piece of shit]

[selfimmolates]

You decided to switch, didn't you? Stop being so wishy-washy!
