I do mean that, yes, but at least I know who they are, so I'll be aware if anything happens to them. I still dislike having him at such a low number, though.
[but he pauses there, taking a moment to gather his thoughts before:]
As for what I'm currently working on: Shishimaru and I are still trying to locate a third person with our ability, and I have one or two people helping with that effort, since they will have to be out this Thursday or break the current rules. I know we also lost and gained a follower in our faction, so that person might have it as well, and I've been warned they may have defected to Merriment from Ruin. [so that's cool! if this entire faction has all nighter i, personally, will die.] Beyond that, I've been given a potential name-- though we are not yet certain, so I intend to keep an eye on them for now... and I'm not certain we'll stay with Ruin directly. We may try to follow her instead, to be on the safe side.
[another pause, with a thoughtful frown-- is that everything?]
Mm, and Piety evidently made an agreement with another god, to try to improve his position in the event of their victory. I think... that's all I've been given in the last couple of days.
Sasuke was with Merriment last week - but he defected this week, so I can tell you. He used Chilled Bones on me to prove that he wasn't using All Nighter, because I would've needed to out his faction to you and Takaomi so that you didn't suspect him of anything. So I can try to look for the last two people with you.... we've been trying to figure out where the Ruin follower went. I know me and two other people who went to Cunning, but that's still not enough, numbers-wise, to rule out the Ruin follower.
Can you give me the potential name and I'll try to see what I can do?
[aaaaaaand - ]
What do you think the odds are that Piety made a deal with Bambi? I encouraged them to spend more time together... and I think having his level head and friendship would make her feel better too.
I do not know her well, but... we spoke the day after Piety and I arranged to be voted for. She told me death was a necessary part of her duty, for now.
[considering everything since then... yeah.
but he shakes his head-]
It wasn't with Ambition, no. [a sigh, there.] Cunning, actually. I am not fully in disagreement; he told me it is to ensure he'll have the platform he needs for them to work together should Cunning be victorious, and for him to act as a mediator.
... Luna-san is a robot, right? Do we know if she manages to feel pain the same way that we do? Because at least it'd make sense for someone that calm to be able to carve into themselves and transfer it to Aimi.
[HE'S NOT A FAN OF THIS CONCEPT???]
.... huh. I don't plan on staying with Cunning after this week unless he offers me something really good - all he needs is just one follower, after all.
From what I know, she would certainly fit the profile. She's someone to be careful of, I think.
... but I wonder the same. We don't know how many people have the ability to force defection, either. It's possible they'll end up targeting people who intend to return to previous gods already, but they could alter the numbers a bit as well. I've been lucky so far, personally, but...
They may have-- and they may have to do so again now. The fewer of us there are, the fewer their options, especially if each of them cannot choose the same person twice.
I'm going to be so mad if I have to switch again...
[UGHHHH]
You've seen how the coin gets tarnished, right? ... do you think there's any way that we can see Luna-san's? Then we can know if she only just switched out of Ruin for the first time.
... I really don't think there's any harm in it. At this point, everyone's switched - so it'll just help figure out or rule out who might've been with Ruin up until last week.
[that's what he thinks!]
I haven't checked or asked anyone that I know has switched to Cunning... why?
I think during trial I'm going to see if everyone will show me their coins anyway. We'll have a couple of different ones for reference if I get them to agree - a perfect one with Shishimaru, one switch with Ray-kun, two with mine, and I think Sasuke's done the full three....
So if Ishirin-san could help me get people to agree, I'd appreciate it. At least anyone with a perfect coin couldn't have been the Ruin follower.

I don't know how to get close to her - we don't get along. I'll try to see if I can get someone else to talk to her...
There were some Ambition-aligned people who forced people to switch teams this week. But I'm wondering if they just used their power at random...
