[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?

[selfimmolates]

I didn't know if you were aware, and I generally assume that whatever he tells me is meant in confidence.

[usogi]

No, he stayed with us last night - he might not want to admit it, but he's a friend.

[ughhh]

Well, I took a picture of his map anyway - I'm worried about his audience with Cunning, but it's not like there's anything I can do about it.

But it did make me ask Beauty if he has a room.

[selfimmolates]

Does he?

[usogi]

Uh-huh. I was gonna ask if you wanted to come with me. I think I know how to get in - and he gave me permission to look, so I don't think we'll get in trouble.

[selfimmolates]

Pretty generous of him. Sure, I don't mind.

[usogi]

He likes me a lot, I think. And I think I know him well enough by now that we can figure it out... Let's go to the parlor and see!

[and while i actually grab you and ty in a disco - ]

Okay, new guess at why you don't trust me anymore - is it because you think I'll be used against you somehow?

[hE HASN'T FORGOTTEN]

[selfimmolates]

[GODDAMNIT]

What.

[usogi]

You're still acting weird.

Bakaomi said that I should give you a few days - but I might be dead by then?

[so,]

[selfimmolates]

Ignore him, and also stop talking.

[usogi]

But you still won't tell me what I did...

[selfimmolates]

You didn't do anything. Stop thinking about this.
