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!

[dotcom]

And you're assuming that being put with Despair means that their main personality trait is being sad.

[sengokus]

But -

[ . . . ]

Yeah... I guess you'd be in Wrath if it was just about demeanor.

[dotcom]

[ hilariously wrath was one of my options and was above gluttony

but as takeru does not know this ooc information, he just scowls. ]

My point is, I think you could potentially make cases for someone to fit several categories instead of just one.

[sengokus]

[mineo knows takeru better than either of them want to admit

but he just looks thoughtful about that]

... that's what the whole thing is about, right? That everyone's kind of a sinner.

[even if it's - a little hard for him to work through. like he's still getting used to the idea of absolutes not being a thing.]

... you know, I met some people who come from places where murder isn't even a crime. So they didn't really get why it'd be upsetting to think anyone might die here.

[dotcom]

... I think that we should be prepared to deal with people we don't agree with.

[ takeru sits in an odd place on that. his idea of what justice is isn't the same as mineo's-- honestly, he isn't entirely sure if mineo would be as friendly with him if he knew what exactly takeru's opinion on revenge really is.

but, despite that, he isn't an advocate for murder in general. ]

And that we may be in the minority for it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he's quiet for a second, crossing his arms as he leans against the closest wall. mineo's a hothead. even if he promises now to think about it, he's not sure if he'll really be able to remember when he's in the middle of an argument.]

... I'll try not to make trouble for you.

[if people get the idea that the two of them are associated - it's not like they avoid each other or anything, and they're bound to complain about each other.]

... but it's not like I'm mad at people who've lived in different situations from me, who had to learn other ways to survive. Even if I don't understand it.

[dotcom]

But I'm sure there are people who are from societies similar to ours, and simply want to kill anyway.

[ ... ]

We can't ignore that possibility, right?
