[it's a satisfactory answer. greed's well aware that things aren't always fair and that the world is full of people that don't want to make it fair. but unfortunately greed is also himself and has made it his goal to consistently find the truth in all things.]

This isn't the justice I had in mind. Finding a culprit, yes, but having one of you kill them yourselves was never supposed to happen. That first time with Miss Lionett and Miss Jahad was a surprise to us as well.

Childe's survival nearly undermines the efforts of those who found the answer during the trial. I do believe they should have a say in what happens next, but it should be as unanimous a decision as possible.

[mukagen]

I’m surprised Childe didn’t die again considering we were all discussing what to do with him for over five minutes.

[ Gojou listening while also just watching Childe die slowly in the room. Inaction really is his thing unless he likes the person a lot. Then again? So many people jump to help. There’s a thought to pry some more out of Greed cause everything he says is so familiar, but!

First. ]

There’s something I wanted to ask. When the doors locked, there was this skeletal black paw that stretched out under the door and it looked like something wanted to get in. [ ... ] I thought the sound of claws were similar to the first week. Yuri and I also found some footage that implies there’s some kind of monster around on that same week.

It was playing with the skull? Which I’m guessing was that passenger we never met. Got any ideas or am I just giving you some nightmare fuel?

[ HECC IS THAT ]

[probe]

[there's a non-committal noise because yeah, him too? but cockroaches are very resilient. that said, when gojou mentions the idea of a monster he'll probably feel the temperature drop a few degrees. it's hard to tell when greed's wearing a cloak and a hood, but he seems to tense up just slightly.]

...both, truthfully. [he breathes out and recomposes himself.] Discussing it openly may be a detriment to the both of us. But...you may wish to keep looking into that. Now that it's out there.

I would be careful with it as well. It isn't something that enjoys being perceived unknowingly. If you're going to look into it, know that there's only so much we can say before it will turn ugly.

[mukagen]

[ wow, Elsa. Gojou gives him a pat on the shoulder despite the cold... He is sorry for bringing this up somewhat, but he thought it’s important in some way. ]

I’m used to seeing ugly things. [ But he keeps note to be careful. ] But you’re also saying I shouldn’t be sharing this out in the open with a bunch of people?

[ Is that right? He just wants to make sure so that he doesn’t suddenly send this station into a spiral. ]

[probe]

[thanks gojou. greed chews on another bite of his crepe if only to stall.]

...it may be important for you to know. If you share with a bunch of people, perhaps it would be best to do it in vague terms and see what else people have found. I believe a few of you have had different encounters with it.

[there's a pause.] It will likely be listening and attempt to stay one step ahead, however. Keep that in mind.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou nods and monches too. ]

I wonder if using other communication channels would be better.

[ Or maybe it’s fucking literate, that’s so weird. But Mahito is literate when Molly isn’t, so??? Huh. ]

Another thing! I don’t know if Mineo came to you already about some strange text he received. If you told him anything, then I’ll just ask him.

[ All with this THINGS DONT want to be perceived. Things don’t want to be talked about, Gojou just puts it there so Greed isn’t being asked like several times. ]

[probe]

A text, you mean? Perhaps that may suffice. [he doesn't know if it's literate but also it wouldn't surprise him and that's horrifying, wow!]

He did not. [and if he brings it up later in the thread i have with dana then that's fine but currently he knows nothing from mineo.] Though am I to presume this is about the texts from those who have died?

[mukagen]

[ otherworldly or weird supernatural things are always somehow literate. Gojou will figure out how to put it out there discreetly somehow. ]

Yeah. There are implications that they're affecting this side and they're elsewhere. [ ... ] I hope they're cared for well.

[ Since Greed somehow nailed it, Gojou assumes he knows some more. He won't prod too much, but knowing that Avatars are aware is good. ]

[probe]

...the deceased are still deceased, Gojou. There is nothing that can be done for them now. But in their last moments I believe they're still handling things well enough.

I'm sure Fushimi's fine.

[mukagen]

Your choice of words sure is funny, Greed.

[ Oddly contrasting, but he doesn't drag it out since it must mean it's something they can't discuss? That's fine. ]

It looked like you wanted to ask me something before we went on several topic hops? Is it that you're interested in Gluttony's affairs?

[ Welcome to Gojou Satoru experience, juggling a bunch of things.

also

greettony. ]

[probe]

Is it? I wasn't aware. [so that is to say greed could discuss that, but is choosing not to since it doesn't seem relevant.

he is very tempted to shove the rest of his crepe in gojou's face though. it's fine this is, again, very familiar.]

I'm interested in what Gluttony gave you, yes. [...and then it dawns on him.] Oh. For their watch?

[mukagen]

[ Gojou just trusts Greed to tell him if it's important. So maybe another time cause... GREETTONY NOW. ]

Yeah, for their watch. It's a piece of gum that is supposed to dispel effects for the person chewing on it? Something like that.

[ So, yeah, Gojou chose to endure purple prose talk and ass, letting his friends suffer from small curses, too. He didn't think it's worth it. ]

[probe]

[bad choice? but sure, another time.]

...are you telling me you purposefully let yourself be afflicted when you could have fixed it yourself? [on the one hand, smart, because those effects weren't exactly major. on the other, gojou why.]

[mukagen]

[ gojou's faith in people has fucked him over in canon and i won't stop that here ]

They weren't killing me?

[ YEAH? ]

[probe]

[...the worst part is that the only response is a very quiet snicker because what the fuck kind of absurdity is this.]

[mukagen]

[ Gojou will keep eating his crepe and let Greed has his single moment. ]

... Got something to say?

[probe]

No, nothing at all. [pfft.] That is one way of looking at it.

[mukagen]

Why are you laughing?!

[ HELLLLLLLLLO? Gojou is smiling, though. He's not offended. ]

You know my background! This is just how I think!

[ the last hp is the hp that matters ]

[probe]

No reason. [he shrugs with both hands!] It could almost even be considered clever. I might be impressed.

[greed will die before admitting that it's actually very strategic and he's impressed.]

[mukagen]

Clever... I felt like it's the most logical thing.

[ Why are your standards for everyone low, Greed!! You think of them as fools who would use this item to get rid of some hand-me-down hickeys! ]

Anyway, I was considering using my power on it. Two dispels? Sounds nice. When will I use them? Not sure.

[probe]

[mahito was on his team, gojou. please think about this.]

Interesting prospect. Better to have them and not need them than vice versa, I think.

[mukagen]

[ please remember that mahito and gojou are like... rp twins. ]

But Yuri gave me a knife and I can have two knives.

[probe]

Would you even know what to do with two knives?

[unfortunately i remember. it's fine.]

[mukagen]

Self-defense? That's the reason why everyone stole one, right?

[ yeah the mindset is still there ]

My profile says I excel in hand-to-hand combat, but I'm actually well-versed in using weapons, too.

[ hehe. ]

[probe]

Very optimistic thinking that it was only for self defense. [he would like to believe that, but also.]

Blades specifically? Or a variety? [greed is a nerd who has the profiles memorized so he's just curious.]
