[hello? is vira in the kitchen? because that's where wrath is, zooming excitedly on their fire feet across the kitchen to try and see the sandwiches.]

Of course I need to eat. Hey.

[chevaleros]

[ THESE SHITPOSTS I HATE THEM

vira, meanwhile, looks surprised as wrath enters, but quickly smooths it over in a laugh. ]

I couldn't be sure—who knows what secrets you all are hiding beneath those robes?

[ but on the counter, she has assembled several sandwiches, cut into perfect triangles and neatly arranged. they look straight out of some fancy tea time, except not 2" big. ]

I'm glad you could take the time to come see me again, Wrath.

[why is wrath mod stealing MY locations........ anyway, vira receives a text back that implores her to meet them in the kitchen please.

when vira enters, a robed figure is waiting on her. there are two thick, brown horns protruding from the hood, curving back over their head. a little black spade tail sways languidly behind them. two glowing orange eyes peer at her.]

Hello, Miss Vira Lillie. Your apology is appreciated, but not necessary.

[chevaleros]

[ are you the same person!!!!!! i can't live with these mind games. anyway, she will be there in the kitchen, and has apparently made some lemonade. there is no sign of mess, because she's not a monster. or, not that kind of monster? ]

I think some apology is prudent.

[ by now there has been NEW mess, she hates it here. ]

But I'm grateful to meet you all the same, Gluttony.

[despair will be waiting in the tea room, already seated, wings carefully arranged to not be in their way. a cup is held delicately in their clawed hands, and they nod to her as she enters.]

Further questions, I take it? Or is there something else you wished to speak about?

[chevaleros]

You already know me so well.

[ she joins them, though she's holding a small thermos or somesuch that she's borrowed from the kitchen already. her more severe demeanor from the weekend is replaced with the usual smile again. ]

I do have questions, though I also wanted to thank you for... helping me during trial.

week 1, monday

[probe]

[well, vira is waiting... for some time? this avatar really straight up stood her up! when she goes to leave, she'll find what can only be sloth floating dead in the hall halfway there.

half curled and snoring gently.]

[chevaleros]

[ sloth............ if they weren't an avatar she would definitely be kicking them awake.

as it stands, luminiera instead joins them in floating, poking them curiously with her tendrils. ]

...Sloth, you'll catch cold sleeping in a place like this.

[ gentle chiding. ]

week 1, monday

[probe]

[gluttony is waiting on vira by the door to the room with the circus. she gets a polite bow at the shoulders in greeting.

and then they motion for her to go inside. ladies first.]

Hello again, my Lord.

[chevaleros]

[ always so polite even though i think gluttony is just going to fatten them up and eat them. she curtsies in return before stepping through into the circus. ]

I haven't been addressed as such in quite some time. It's nostalgic.

Hello, Gluttony. I hope you've been well since our last meeting.

w1, monday

[probe]

[a text:]

what kind of bribe

[chevaleros]

An offer to pour you some libations, of course, to make up for the opportunity of whiskey that I deprived you of. Along with our usual.

[ if they meet twice for picnic refreshments, it's tradition. ]

w2, monday

[probe]

[a reply:]

for what
you looking for a place to smooch?

[chevaleros]

Decidedly not.

[ wrath you are not lust ]

I wanted a moment to get away from all these memories.

week 2, monday

[probe]

[wherever vira happens to be, the wall (or floor) splits open with a shadowy portal. gluttony steps carefully out of it, both arms behind their back.

they offer her a bow at the shoulders.]

Good afternoon.

[chevaleros]

Hello again, Gluttony. [ hisoka ]

It seemed to me you were missing something for your, ah—cat?

[ judas where are you ]

w3, wednesday

[probe]

[despair is waiting for her in the music room! they nod to her when she enters, though it doesn't appear they've taken up an instrument for the time being.]

Were you asking for any reason in particular?

[chevaleros]

[ hi despair. she smiles in greeting, cordial if a little distant. ]

Ah, I was wondering if you might wish to hear a song.

[ when she sits across from them, she holds a little harp in her lap. ]

w6, monday

[probe]

I do.

Do you want to meet somewhere?

[chevaleros]

The conference room, if you would.

[ that's unsexy enough that no one should be there. ]

week 6, monday

[probe]

I am at your service, my lord.

[chevaleros]

Please meet me by the pool.

w6, friday

[probe]

[despair is waiting in the crystalline room, seated there as they seem to just be looking out into the purple void.

when she enters, there is immediately a heavy, almost crushing feeling of loss, the weight of grief and responsibility-- but they seem the same as usual as they turn to her, although their wings are droopier and there's also a distinct feeling of pure exhaustion.]

You wished to speak? I imagine there must be much on your mind, after last night.

[chevaleros]

[ she doesn't love this room, but at least there's no bones or anything this time. she wishes those feelings were more surprising, too. but from an avatar of despair, someone who would drive themselves on through grief, she almost expects this. ​​]

I suppose. [ it was a busy night. ] You seem wearied.

w7, monday

[probe]

[despair awaits her in the crystal void room, as usual! they hover there, turning to face her when she enters; their voice has a faint echoing quality to it, now.]

I would congratulate you on your survival, but really-- it was something of a pointless display, on the whole. I'm surprised you all took up the full day on it.

[please know they were just bored watching them all look away from evidence and pretend to have a trial.]

But, nevertheless, you did escape... and so I suppose you ought to be rewarded accordingly. An ability of yours, a belonging of yours, or you may accept a more powerful than usual gift from me.

[chevaleros]

[ she scoffs quietly. ]

Sometimes people need the truth for closure. Or, more likely, I think there were a few who wanted to discover the killers so they could gauge whether or not we were worth keeping alive.

[ which is why she hadn't come out with it. she wasn't really worried about mineo, but would someone vote for her out of spite, or indulgence? maybe. ]

In any case, it seems you've already been giving us gifts. [ she gestures to a pointy crown growing on her head, fun. ] Would it be a one-use ability either way?

[ for her own, or for the one they could give her. ]
