[ . . . he looks thoughtful about that.]

I mean... I can see not thinking that Omi-san would be able to hold his own enough to take a life to protect his own. After the whole thing with Fukuda-san.

And Ashiya-san... His eye was actually still kinda messed up yesterday. He couldn't see all that well. So I guess if anyone felt like taking advantage of that, or suspected him like we did...

[dotcom]

So, both potential easy targets. Do you know if Douman used the healing pods?

[ since that may change things ]

[sengokus]

A little - I caught them after they stumbled out for initial healing to stop the bleeding. One eye was healed, the other wasn't... so they seemed a little dizzy and disoriented.

I don't know if they stayed there, or if they went back to the pod after we were done talking.

I don't know if either of them got new powers either. I know that Ashiya-san had one that could make someone's blood boil for thirty seconds, and Omi-san had.... [fuck] He could make someone super fixated on something for twenty-four hours? A person, idea, or object.... So we should be on the lookout today.

[dotcom]

... well, if he used that, hopefully he chose something that would be obvious to notice.

[ it won't do much good if they can't tell a difference. there are so many weirdos here. ]

[sengokus]

... I'm admitting to you now I haven't seen anything, but I'll keep looking.

[why

do people fail to use their fucking powers in meaningful ways]

[dotcom]

Do you know what the time limit on those were?

[sengokus]

Blood boiling was thirty seconds.

Omi-san's should be all day though - twenty four hours.

[dotcom]

... so if we don't catch it today, it'll be useless.

[ he rubs his temple. ]

Well, hopefully someone does.

[sengokus]

Do you know anyone who was particularly attached to Ashiya-san or Omi-san...? I mean - I was kinda close to Ashiya-san, but I wouldn't say that we were that close...

I don't know if they got extra powers from Avatars.

[dotcom]

No idea. I didn't really talk to either of them.

[ they're not lesbians. ]

[sengokus]

[TAKERU IS TRULY JUST HANGING OUT WITH LESBIANS AND MINEO]

Hmm.... Medb was Ashiya-san's Master at least...? It's some weird thing from their world...

[dotcom]

They're both Servants, but... they didn't know each other back home. And Medb was pretty sure Douman was lying about a lot of stuff to her.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

This sounds even more complicated than I first anticipated? And it was already pretty complicated.

And I thought we had problems.

[dotcom]

Mm. She said that there were things Douman told her that didn't actually make sense with how things worked, and that I shouldn't be surprised if they turned on her.

[ he looks at mineo. ]

You're not going to turn on me, right?

[sengokus]

[his brow furrows at even the suggestion??? he knows the conversation is pretty light but the idea really pisses him off.]

No. I'd never.

[dotcom]

Hm...

[ he pats mineo on the cheek. he can't reach the top of his head without effort so this is a compromise. good boy. ]

Anyway, I confirmed with Despair that they didn't tell Mahito that. They said that Mahito should probably go back and clarify things with them, but they didn't expect him to.

[1/2]

[sengokus]

[i hate that even that much stuns him for a second and even when takeru pulls away it's almost like mineo is going to follow his hand because he likes attention]

[sengokus]

[ - at least before he catches himself and flusters as he forces himself to straighten up]

I'm not a dog...!!

[kind of a dog]

Augh. Fine, I'll tell Mahito-san anyway.... It'd be a pain if it circulated worse and we all got confused on it.

[dotcom]

[ kind of a dog ]

We should try to get more people to cross reference anything they learn in general. The Avatars can be cryptic about a lot of crap, but some things they'll just tell us if we're blatantly wrong.

[sengokus]

At least give me a response...

[don't just iGNORE HIM AFTER PETTING HIM, TAKERU]

.... fine... I don't know if I've even learned anything interesting though! White said something about the souls of the people here being kept - I dunno, somewhere else? Someone looking after them? But not Sloth-san....

[dotcom]

[ he frowns. ]

Hm... so is it one of the Avatars? Or someone else entirely? [ ... ] Well, I'll ask and see if I can find out.

[sengokus]

[he shakes his head]

I don't know. I'm not clear on that - and I only heard it from White today. I'll double-check too, I've been meaning to talk to the Avatars more too. But if they're somehow just.... somewhere else... that'd be a start, right?

I know that we have to worry about our own wishes but - I told Molly I'd help get Beauregard-san back, at the very least. And the more people we lose...

[the more he'll want to save them.]

[dotcom]

... don't forget to concentrate on your wish, too. They're not the only ones who are dead, asshole.

[sengokus]

[there is actually a surprisingly long pause at that as mineo looks away, like he's thinking of something before he looks back and meets takeru's eyes]

Maybe I'm feeling greedy and want to save all of us?

[maybe he finally wants something enough to work his ass off for it again.]

... but I know what you're saying. I can't save anyone if I don't save myself first.

[dotcom]

[ takeru can't relate because there are definitely some people he would prefer if they stay dead. the robot is there.

but, he'll just fold his rms over his chest. ]

Just remember that you won't have a second chance if it doesn't work out here. If you fuck up, I'll waste my wish on you, and then you'll owe me.
