week 3, monday

[usogi]

[hi.

senri's all bundled up for some reason? he's wearing a scarf indoors and there's a mug of tea in his hands as he comes crying to ray as if they did not fight yesterday]

Ray-kuuuun! I got cursed again!

[selfimmolates]

[well that's cool ray will pretend yesterday totally did not happen either.]

What did you do to deserve this one.

[usogi]

Someone must've just felt like being mean to me....

[HE'S SO BUMMED UGH]

Did you talk to Bakaomi or Sasuke-kun after their spectacle yesterday?

[selfimmolates]

Why do you ask?

[usogi]

I'm... I'm trying to find out how much they told you?

[THE SAME REASON HE ALWAYS BUGS RAY]

[selfimmolates]

Then assume I know nothing and tell me whatever you were going to say.

[usogi]

No way, that's not fair! You know that they're going to tell me stuff anyway!

[selfimmolates]

Then why do you need to know what I know?

[usogi]

Because that's how we've been playing since the start of the game.... You don't trust me with your information anymore?

[his brow furrows]

How come?

[selfimmolates]

I'm waiting to see what you have to say. Why is it necessary that I go first?

[usogi]

[mmmmmph.]

Then I'll start with something else -

Sasuke-kun used Chilled Bones on me, that's why I'm cursed this week. I wasn't going to say because I already know you don't like me trusting him, but I'll volunteer information first if you want to make this into a business exchange.

[selfimmolates]

[the name upgrade doesn't escape him.]

Shang Qinghua was one of the Fortune followers who defected.

[if they're going to be starting with irrelevant matters.]

[usogi]

That makes sense - do you know where he went? Piety?

[selfimmolates]

I don't know.

[usogi]

He didn't tell you or you're saying 'I don't know' because I'm trying to have a conversation with you instead of an info exchange?

[selfimmolates]

I don't know, as in he didn't tell me because the reason he defected to begin with was out of self-preservation after I figured out his alignment.

[usogi]

You scared him into defecting?!

[RAY]

[selfimmolates]

I didn't scare him! [aside from that part where sqh apparently considers the 12-year-old the most terrifying person here.] He just made the logical choice that since I knew, it was better for him to switch!

[usogi]

It sounds like you scared him....

[RAY!!!]

Mm - but you already know where I am, right? I made a deal so I'm with Justice for a little bit. If you don't have an idea for a rule that'd be smart to use, I'm going to try to knock out some tasks that gods gave me.

I also met Disorder - after Sasuke-kun and Bakaomi made it out of what was apparently Cunning's room.

So do you know anything about that?

[selfimmolates]

I was aware that Takaomi and Sasuke were going on a "field trip".

[usogi]

Oh... nothing other than that?

Then Sasuke-kun's gonna talk to you sometime today. He'll need a favor.

[selfimmolates]

I know.

[usogi]

Eh? How?

[selfimmolates]

Because I've already spoken to him.

[duh.]

[usogi]

But all you said -

How come you didn't mention that earlier? Is this like how I have to talk to gods and ask you the right questions in order to get an answer?
