[if mineo notices takeru's apparent repression, he says nothing about it. well okay.]

Ah... So that's me and uh... Kaaz-san...? I still haven't seen other Sloth folks...

But that's not too bad. I'll just sleep in a lot. Apparently even not engaging in the... uh.... [flusters] lewd stuff counts, even if it won't last forever for me.

If you want to get the reward, you'll have to do more than just that. Apparently this was described as more of a... race, than a competition? So the people doing more will get a better chance.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

I mean, I can probably manage it it's just... pretty weird to think I'll get rewarded for wasting time...

[sloth is

such a sin to pick for mineo]

[ YOU CAN TELL, JUST FROM TAKERU'S EXPRESSION, THAT HE'S THINKING IT ]

At least it won't be hard.

[sengokus]

Just gotta not do what I'm supposed to, right?

[he is. a master procrastinator. so that's not hard. anyway,]

Gluttony doesn't sound hard for you either - at least until you run out of sweets.

[he'll say it]

[dotcom]

No one asked you.

[ and technically, sasazuka will eat a lot of non-sweets too-- they're just his extreme preference, but sometimes you just like food in general. ]

But if we can't just keep doing the same things we'd have to change it up anyway.

[sengokus]

But I'm right!

[DON'T BE MEAN WHEN HE'S SAYING FACTS he's frowning]

... well what else are you a glutton for? Being rude?

[this is just to mineo]

[dotcom]

Only to those who deserve it.

[ which is everyone, apparently.

although he is thinking about how, again, there is a very heavy emphasis on sex here but he is not going to point it out again. ]

But I'll figure something out.

[sengokus]

[be safe takeru use a condom]

Mm.... okay.

Well, let me know if I can help out, I guess...

[



he is both so good at being sloth and not good at all]

[dotcom]

I am not asking you to help me indulge.

[ EVEN IF IT'S NOT SEXUAL ]

[sengokus]

H-Ha? Why not...?! Don't we both need to win?!

[dotcom]

It's the principle of the matter.

[sengokus]

Ehh? Seriously?!

We just got here and you're already going to refuse my help? What the hell, man!

[dotcom]

You'll thank me later.

[sengokus]

No way!

[well now he's all growly]

I get that you don't wanna work with me, and I'm not thrilled it's just us two here either - but how the hell am I gonna be grateful if I can't lend you a hand because you won't let me?

[dotcom]

I'm not going to have any problems.

[ but honestly, the ones that would be harder for sasazuka to do are the ones he would go to anyone but mineo for. ]

We can still meet up and discuss like we have been, but you should instead focus on trying to figure out other ways to do yours. It's trickier than mine.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . it's still not good enough of an answer for him and it shows on his face.]

.... I'll talk to Sloth-san about it.

[but if it's doing well - nothing to get ahead, mineo thinks it's pretty manageable. he just has to figure out what counts]

[dotcom]

Good. We'll probably get a chance to speak to them tomorrow as long as they get the elevator fixed.

[ is he dropping the rest of the conversation? yes. ]

[sengokus]

[well.

mineo doesn't want to drop the conversation. the issue here is that takeru is right, and mineo's pretty sure he'll do fine with his indulgences because he's smarter than mineo is. it's always been true that takeru doesn't particularly need him - not when yanagi and shiraishi were around.

he said he didn't want to be dead weight, but what can he do to help anyway?]

... ah.

[a beat, and then he shakes his head]

Endorsi-san and I are gonna trade notes on who we talk to. I figure you and I should bought talk to Greed to see if the answers we get are the same.

And if you see what Gluttony's like, and Endorsi-san talks to Pride... That just leaves Despair, right?

[dotcom]

[ he has zero real opinion on endorsi so like, he is not sure if he can trust her to not fuck up about getting info.

but starting another potential argument about that is just going to waste more time. ]

I'll speak to them. They have the most people who are aligned to them.

[sengokus]

Eh? Really?

[a beat]

I guess people here... are pretty sad....

[cease]

[dotcom]

Sad is one word for it.

[sengokus]

Anything else you pick is gonna be way ruder.

[dotcom]

That doesn't make it less accurate.

[sengokus]

It might not be accurate! Maybe they've got good reasons to be sad!
