Man, screw the robot.

[mineo makes a face. there's a near zero chance he would've gone anywhere near that thing.]

.... but why Fukuda-san.... Maybe it's because he was close to somebody? He didn't confess anything in the end.... I guess I can check in with Gojou-san and see if he heard anything? They were friends. [and gojou's the only one left alive]

But I didn't hear anything like that from Law-san, no. Didn't you get told that the robot just asked permission and the Avatars said fine?

[dotcom]

No... but I'm going to ask Greed about it for clarification. It could just be a case of misunderstanding what they meant again.

[sengokus]

[he nods.......]

Well, looks like we'll just have to keep double-checking stuff.

Ah - but I got the rose to Pride-san. [a beat as he brings a hand up to his head subconsciously] Uhh, it didn't go well. But I'll try to fix it....

[dotcom]

What happened?

[ pride is an asshole but takeru is not sure if this is like. normal pride asshole stuff or what. ]

[sengokus]

I gave the rose back - but Ashiya-san uh... well, they messed it up a bit, like I said. It seemed like it was pretty important to Pride-san.

[he tilts his head]

But - well, I thought I'd ask while I was there if the exchange items was null because the rose was damaged, or if because Ashiya-san didn't give it back to Pride-san themselves. The answer's both. [so he got his answer!]

... but Pride-san thought I just wanted a reward. [and he frowns a little bit at this, looking guilty] So they got mad at me because they thought I was lying about wanting to just get it back to them, and when I tried to talk it out, I got slammed with a crazy headache and they were gone when I could see straight again.

[dotcom]

... they're fairly difficult.

[ considering how many times they have stabbed or attempted to stab people?? he's not surprised. ]

Well, that's good to know for the future, at least.

[sengokus]

[he nods]

Yeah... It's why I wanted to ask - if people are gonna get swept away, it's better if they know to be crazy careful with whatever they find.

They can be really important to the Avatars, and I don't want anybody to get hurt from it.

[dotcom]

Mm. If it helps, I want to round everyone up next week so we can share details on what we've found. You can bring that up then, if you like.

[ there's a pause. ]

... good work, even if the outcome ended up like that.

[1/2]

[sengokus]

Sure. Text me before it starts and I'll be—

[he pauses walking a little. did takeru say good work.....]

[sengokus]

[perking up considerably as he catches up]

Hehe, no problem! I'll check in with Gojou-san if he had any progress on his end too!

[HEADACHE NOW WORTH IT]

[dotcom]

[ he nods. ]

I'll ask Grace. I told Mollymauk who his belonged to, so I'll see if he returned it already.

[sengokus]

[nodding more]

The jacket for Lust-san? He told me - though he still had it last time we talked.

Might as well check in with all of them... Are you guys comparing notes about what you went through soon too? If we're supposed to cross-check with each other...

[dotcom]

Mm. We both had to make choices at the end, which is the most obvious connection, but... we need to see if there's a deeper meaning to it.

[sengokus]

A choice...

[sounds not great]

Hmm.... Well, I guess knowing that would at least prepare future groups for what might have to happen.

[dotcom]

... maybe.

[ he taps his chin. ]

But even knowing that, they still might not be prepared for it.

[sengokus]

[he nods...]

.... it sounds like something that'd be kind of hard to be totally prepared for.

[given what he's heard about both experiences]

I wonder if there'll be another one this week... Thursdays we should probably just be ready for it since it looks like a pattern now.

[dotcom]

Maybe.

But there's also the chance that it might not focus on the Avatars at all, and could be about one of us-- like the one with White.

[sengokus]

Still weird.

[just

so weird]

I haven't heard them getting items or having to make a choice so I guess it really was just... a weird manifestation of White's memories?

[dotcom]

Sounds like it. So we need to watch out in case something like that occurs again.

[sengokus]

[hmmm]

... imagine someone going to Shinjuku... Wouldn't that be freaky....

[like a whole countdown to x-day murder mystery thing... damn....]

[dotcom]

If you jinx it...

[ he'll hit him

but jk he won't be able to because of this STUPID EFFECT that they don't know about yet ]

[sengokus]

[sdlkfjdsf]

Stop - it's not like they'd even be able to pin it to us that fast, probably!

[no they probably could]

But uh... Well, I think we'll probably need to just keep talking about stuff with the Avatars. And we can go look around the floor again next week if you want? We don't have to bring Gojou-san.

[he has no idea if takeru's opinion of him is still bad]

[dotcom]

We'll see what's open then.

[ if there's any place that seems like it might be worth investigating. ]

[sengokus]

[nods]

Sounds like a plan.

... do we have more work stuff to talk about?

[he's fine doing business first but also he just figures by sunday they don't have a lot]

[dotcom]

[ he shakes his head. ]

No, I still need to make more rounds after this.
