mineo's head goes slightly swimmy. not in a dizzying way necessarily, but a dreamy one. he's drowsy. his eyes are heavy, and then close. maybe he does dream it?
he can see words in his vision. Wet Dream. oh no. a warm, luxurious feeling pools in mineo's chest. the giddiness of romance and love. like having a crush, feeling your cheeks get red.
when he opens his eyes, sloth has pulled away, and is floating in the air patiently. if mineo checks his phone, there will be a message there:
Give one person a romantic dream about another participant or yourself; when the target wakes up, they will be smitten with them or you for two days.]
Tada! Now you can give Endorsi a nice dream about you! Or maybe White! You're friends, right? Or, um, maybe you can just give someone a dream about someone else, if you want.
You could always throw everything to the wind, you know! Sometimes, not even death can separate people! Um, usually. So maybe you'll find just the right person for you here, and then you can spend an eternity getting back to them! Romantic.
Isn't there a saying mortals use? Uh... "The heart makes you grow fonder"! Wait, no, not that. Um. "The fatter heart makes you distant"! Wait, not that either.
No, I don't think I've met them yet. Even if I like Endorsi... To really be in love, they gotta be in love with you back, right?
[he shakes his head]
But ah, Sloth-san, I should ask before I forget... Does this power expire at all? Like in two weeks? And does someone have to be asleep to get the dream, or could I use it on someone when they're awake?
[mineo gets a small shrug, but not a dismissive one.]
Guess that's up to them! You'll have to ask! Oh! Yeah, you get two. If you get another offer, you'll have to make a big decision! To give up one you already have for the new one, or to keep what you've got!
Ah, but... For example if we can't figure out a power used at trial because it was given by an Avatar... is there any way for us to track it down? Or are there just another totally different set of powers that we don't have a list of that we can't pinpoint?

Oh.... Yeah, I get that. I feel the same way about Endorsi.
[why is he just telling sloth this]
But you can't tell anybody! That's our secret between you and me.
no subject
he bobs down at mineo.]
You like Endorsi?!
[shoot your shot, my guy. hypnos did, and meg made fun of him, so he backtracked immediately.]
no subject
Erm.... I'm getting over it. It's hard, but at least I'm used to it! [MINEO'S LONG LIST OF REJECTIONS IS SO FUNNY AND SAD]
I just don't think it's fair or smart to look for something like that here. So.... yeah. I gotta be good! Even Takeru warned me, after all...
no subject
Wow! Rejecting the women we are super into... We have something in common!
[begging you to please be less tone-deaf.]
Sometimes it just won't work out! But that's okay. You have your job, they have their job. It happens!
no subject
he just nods! yeah, that's more or less what he was getting at?! so he will just let sloth go]
Yeah.... This doesn't really seem like the place to look for love or anything anyway. I'd rather just keep napping all the time for my indulgences.
[i really think mineo is going to manage to still exit this game a virgin]
no subject
[like they do. all the time.
they extend their hand out again, but this time they lift it to poke a chilly finger against mineo's forehead.]
no subject
[stop - but oh!! he's getting poked and sitting up a little straighter?!]
What was that? Do I have super strength now?! Invisibility?! Shadow clone jutsu....?! Spirit gun?!
[why does he just say things]
no subject

no subject
.... Sloth-san, I don't think we should just be allowed to give people wet dreams about each other.
[THIS SEEMS MORALLY UNSOUND. ALSO - ]
And why would I want to give either of them one about me?!
no subject
[stop]
Why not? Maybe people would like to dream about you, Mineo! I believe in you!
no subject
he tilts his head and just laughs]
That's really nice of you! What, are you saying you wanna dream of me? I'll consider myself flattered then.
But I don't think anyone here's rushing to fall in love with me... but I guess if I see any romance budding, I can give it a little nudge!
no subject
[please........stop this.]

no subject
[but he'll continue to sit on the bench, letting his gaze move upward as he looks thoughtful about it]
But... I dunno... I feel like I might get kinda greedy, when I'm finally in love, you know? Like I won't want to let go for even a second.
I just wanna be with the people I like for as long as I can... I don't really want much more than that.
[this giant nerd]
no subject
[haha.]
Isn't there a saying mortals use? Uh... "The heart makes you grow fonder"! Wait, no, not that. Um. "The fatter heart makes you distant"! Wait, not that either.
Oh!
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"?
no subject
[he's just pouting]
I've already gone my whole life without them so far! I'm already crazy fond...!! I think that's more than enough!
no subject
You're a down-right Aphrodite!
no subject
No, I don't think I've met them yet. Even if I like Endorsi... To really be in love, they gotta be in love with you back, right?
[he shakes his head]
But ah, Sloth-san, I should ask before I forget... Does this power expire at all? Like in two weeks? And does someone have to be asleep to get the dream, or could I use it on someone when they're awake?
no subject
[a nod.]
It'll happen when they go to sleep! So they can dream. If they don't sleep, well, it'll happen while they're awake then!
no subject
[he tilts his head]
Do the other Avatars give out powers too? Or can we only ask from the ones we're aligned with? Is there a max on powers...?
no subject
Guess that's up to them! You'll have to ask! Oh! Yeah, you get two. If you get another offer, you'll have to make a big decision! To give up one you already have for the new one, or to keep what you've got!
Surprise!
[stop]
no subject
And - sorry, I guess I have more questions than I thought.
Can you all only give out one kind of power? Or if like... White-kun asked you, would you give him something different?
no subject
[there's another shrug.]
Depends on the Avatar! We have enough to satisfy you all with illegal, illicit exchanges!
no subject
Ah, but... For example if we can't figure out a power used at trial because it was given by an Avatar... is there any way for us to track it down? Or are there just another totally different set of powers that we don't have a list of that we can't pinpoint?
no subject
If you don't have a way, you'll just have to think really hard about what the power did, and try to figure out which of us it relates to!
