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.]

[mukagen]

Okay, I would take it for that reason.

[ BUT HE DIDN'T. Cause he's not used to needing a weapon. ]

A variety! Jujutsu headquarters has a vault of cursed weapons, basically weapons imbued with cursed energy. Usually, if your cursed technique is refined enough, you don't need weapons and pretentious sorcerers will look down at you if you use them.

But... I almost died to a guy who favored them, so I thought I might as well learn? It'd help me defend against them.

[probe]

[the rest of the crepe is eaten and that's probably greed's entire sustenance for the whole day, thanks for that.]

Even if you aren't using the weapons yourselves, by learning how to use them you have a better chance of understanding them and anticipating how they'll be used against you. Something like that?

[mukagen]

Exactly. It's useful? Too bad some sorcerers are so snooty...

[ Imagine high society except outwardly bloodthirsty with a bunch of power trips. ]

They're going to regret it when they get stabbed in the neck by a spear that can negate their technique.

[probe]

[bad, actually.]

Then perhaps it's just best to be grateful you're well-prepared for any scenario like that.

[if other people don't prepare that's probably on them? but also yikes.]

[mukagen]

Right, right! Anyway, the point is I can do a lot with two knives. [ Hmmm, but two dispels. ] I'll just use it on the gum.

[ Cause he's sure he only needs one pointy thing. ]

Did you enjoy the crepe?

[probe]

As you wish. [he's not even sure that'll work but that's a gluttony problem.]

It wasn't too sweet. [which is actually a compliment so he nods.] ...I appreciate it.

[he does not bother to ask why gojou picked the flavor he did, he just assumes he's predictable to these kinds of people.]

[mukagen]

[ I see the implication is two knives if it fails— ]

You’re welcome! Mine’s pretty sweet in comparison.

[ Gojou motherfucking guessed strawberries, but yeah Greed seems like a “I don’t like sweets” type of guy. ]

So... Mineo and Harrowhark are pretty attached to you. Are they trying to save you?

[ does Gojou ever have like......... not dates with avatars... like do anything useful... no he just goes on dates. ]

[probe]

[there's a nod of acknowledgment if only because that doesn't surprise him, somehow. and then the conversation switches and he tilts his head.]

Enomoto's determined to. Harrowhark...will do what she thinks is best, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

[and he doesn't sound like he minds that. why does gojou know so much.]

[mukagen]

[ they legitimately just gave him that information without him asking. all he needed to do was mention greed and they both ripped off their shirts to show they have a greed stan shirt underneath. ]

What would you say is the success rate?

[ Gojou is a numbers kind of person... ]
