I'm letting you have one.

[ he sounds annoyed that mineo isn't accepting it? ]

[sengokus]

I haven't finished my first one.

[he likes sweets but he doesn't inhale them like takeru??? but he'll take it because he doesn't want takeru to be annoyed?]

[dotcom]

If you don't want it I'll take it back.

[ he is starting on his third donut. ]

[sengokus]

I feel like I'm not allowed to not want it?

[is this some kind of weird bonding ritual

but he'll at least mostly finish up his first donut so he can start on the second one]

Anyway, just text me next time if you want to.

[ . . . ]

Sloth-san gave me a power in exchange for surviving trial. It was either that or an item from home.

[ he seems pleased at the acceptance of the donut. ]

What was the power?

[sengokus]

[this is absolutely some weird bonding ritual]

I could pick between two - but Sloth-san was nice enough to help me figure out which one I would want. So it's Dreamweaver, and I can summon any weapon I want for one use.

It didn't come in a text? He just held my hand and then I just... had it.

[dotcom]

... huh. I wonder why.

[ since the texts delete themselves after you receive them. ]

But that could be useful.

[sengokus]

Maybe because I earned it through murder? But it definitely felt different.

[he rolls his shoulder experimentally, as if stretching out the muscles and remembering the feeling]

But yeah - I asked for something that could help in a fight if it really comes to that with the monster. Sloth-san seemed surprised that I wanted to fight it, though.

[ . . . ]

And I think I'm gonna talk to Greed-san again, after the meeting today. They could tell from my emotions I wanted to say something when we were talking, but... well, I don't want to talk about us versus them until after we get all the information.

[he did promise takeru he'd wait]

[dotcom]

Mm. [ ... ] Gluttony actually called me out on that yesterday.

I was asking them something, and they said I was just trying to fish which of the Avatars we could still trust.

[ he sounds a little annoyed, but also kind of amused. ]

[sengokus]

.... really don't know what to do with Gluttony-san ever...

[if he's honest]

How'd that go?

[dotcom]

They confirmed that they do not give a fuck about us, which we already knew.

[ it is not a surprise that gluttony would sell them for a corn chip ]

But they also cut a deal with me that they would probably also betray, but it's still something.
