[mukagen]

You put me on that list when I barely talked to you at the time.

[ Boy. Gojou is a meme, but please. ]

[probe]

...I thought you were attractive.

[he just shrugs...]

Also, we know about you guys, so-- I knew you were from the kind of world where, um, my whole supernatural business might not weird you out so much. I kind of hoped we'd get along better than I do with normal people.

[mukagen]

[ gesp... He cares more about the second bit than the attractive part because he knows he's hot. ]

Awww, that's so sweet! I think we're getting along pretty well?

[probe]

-do you really?

[he can't help sounding a little hopeful there.

...and sure, he still harbors a little bit of salt about omi, but he's doing his best to put that aside.]

[mukagen]

I think so! But I'm not pursuing anything too serious, just to be clear...

[ He doesn't want to break Envy's heart or anything. ]

We can definitely be friends, though.

[probe]

I'm already pretty used to nothing here being serious, I'm not-- I don't expect that from anybody.

[it's an indulgence center, of course it'd be largely casual; he does his best to keep his expectations low, on that front.]

[mukagen]

That's a good way of seeing things here. Of course, while I can't be too emotionally intimate with you, everything else is fine.

[ crystal voice, while pointing at gojou: whore ]

[probe]

[well! unfortunately that also applies to envy.]

-if you're sure you're fine with it, then, um. I definitely wouldn't tell you no? I figured the list thing made that pretty obvious.

[mukagen]

Yeah, if you ever feel up for it. I don't see why not? I get something out of it, anyway.

[ Indulgence and all. ]

All right, the other people on your list! [ ... Trying to remember. ] Oh, three of them are dead.

[ ........... ]

Have you changed it? A bit?

[probe]

...yeah, they are.

[he fidgets with the hem of his robe sleeve, brow slightly furrowed.]

Um, I hadn't thought about it, really...? But I probably could.

[he looks a little more thoughtful, at that. if he had to redo the list... hm.]

[mukagen]

Candidate number one!

[ HE SAYS IT SO ABRUPTLY, EXPECTING ENVY TO SAY THE FIRST NAME THAT COMES TO MIND ]

[probe]

Uh- Mollymauk??

[it absolutely works, and he blinks a couple times before flustering.]

Wait, wait, I didn't say I'd rank them-!

[mukagen]

Might actually be taken.

[ He doesn’t know the details or care to know. ]

Candidate two!

[probe]

You didn't specify anything about that--

[he's not putting in the extra effort to eliminate people who might be taken, it's depressing.]

You and Mahito are probably two and three, but I'm putting Mahito first because we hang out more.

[mukagen]

My sentiments are more genuine—[ Okay, this isn’t about him, but let him go on. ]

Candidate four!

[probe]

It's called 'taking what you can get'.

[he is, at least, pretty self-aware of how he operates.]

But, uh-- Ming Yi is attractive? We've never talked though.

[mukagen]

At least when he dies, I’ll be bumped to second.

[ THIS ISNT OUTRIGHT MEAN RIGHT........ HE IS Stating a fact. ]

Ming Yi is cute! We haven’t talked, either, but definitely cute from what I’ve seen.

[ he... he can’t say Ming Yi is the type he likes to bully. ]

Okay. Candidate five!

[probe]

You could always try and improve your standing before then.

[but he sounds a little amused when he says it, so. probably at least halfway joking.]

I-- really don't know, though? I mean. There are still some who're cute, but I don't know that any others stand out to me..

[mukagen]

[ Hmmm. That's very little of them! And he doesn't know how long this is going to go. ]

Are you guys planning to do this again? With a fresh batch of people after us?

[probe]

I don't know...? Look, my personal plans don't even extend up until you guys leave, right now. I have about zero plans.

[mukagen]

[ oh... my god... Gojou can't help but laugh because this is so funny? He did not expect this. ]

Sometimes I'm not big on plans, either. [ Hm. ] None of the other Avatars your type?

[probe]

Not like that. I get along really well with some, and-- okay, yes, some of them are attractive, but I don't think we're exactly compatible.

[mukagen]

[ Small voice: ]

This is harder than I initially thought.

[probe]

-wait, you're not trying to set me up or something, are you?

[mukagen]

What? No. You have to approach them yourself, Envy.

I just wanted to support you and whoever you had your eye on! It’s easier when there’s a name and face attached. Then we can create ship names.
