week 1, monday

[probe]

Don't push your luck.

[comes their voice from behind law. they are just behind him, it's fine.]

[nodo]

[ oh hai. ]

I don't plan on it; I was just surprised to hear it.

[probe]

[hai]

You irritate me the least out of the Prides. [that's all.]

[nodo]

[ ... ]

That's a low bar but I'll take it.

[ since, uh. vlad, gu yun, and molly??? ]

[probe]

Mm. What did you want.

[nodo]

Vira had that dream in the purple room with the skull and then the skull was found later next to the weapon that belonged to Beau. Is that something to be concerned about or is it just some sort of false lead?

[ sorry if you have already heard this from gu yun... ]

And just so I'm clear about everyone sharing the same symbols, we're not on any kind of "team", right? No extra boons for working together or mutually doing the same indulgences?

[ please don't tell him that fucking around with any of his fellow prides would net him more ""points"". ]

[probe]

I wouldn't be concerned about anything you found last week.

[...] We're not a team. We are aligned to the same sin in order to make sure pride is indulged in. You don't get extra boons for working together.

[nodo]

[ that's fine with him. he'll roll with that. ]

Fresh week; fresh mysteries to uncover.

[ it's...a joke. kind of. ]

But I got it; that's easy enough for me to understand. Hypothetical situation, what happens if Pride isn't indulged in?

[probe]

[a small huff.]

What do you think happens?

[nodo]

[ hmmm. ]

If you all are literal Avatars of what you stand for, I'd say something negative, but everything here has been entirely optional and up to us since we've agreed to be here.

Basically I'd say we'd just doing ourselves a disservice over instead of anything historically bad happening.

[probe]

Mm. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't.

You are meant to indulge.

[nodo]

Indulgence is everything around here. Understood.

[ pretty straight-forward. he's fine with that. ]

Well, that answers my main questions; one last question before I go—how long are we looking for in terms of indulging before someone "wins"?

[probe]

[they shrug a little.]

However long it takes. Wouldn't say any one person is going to win, necessarily.

[nodo]

[ squints?? ]

What does that mean exactly?

[probe]

It means that you do not need to be the last man standing.

[nodo]

[ hmm. okay. didn't think that had to be the case but also nice to know.

did not stop him for doing A Thing(???) though. ]

Then there's a threshold—an ambiguous or unknown threshold for us that needs to met, right?

[probe]

Mm. Presumably.

This may change. I am working on outdated knowledge.

[nodo]

How outdated are we talking about?

[ he wants to let you go pride!!! but....he can't leave when you say things like this...... ]

[probe]

[a shrug. sorry they are so unhelpful :(]

[nodo]

[ it's fine. he doesn't resent you pride. ]

Well, I'm sure we'll hear an update sooner or later about any new changes.

[probe]

If something changes, you will likely hear about it immediately.

[at the very least, they can give him that.]

[nodo]

[ he'll give a nod. unlike others(?) law can be patient for information to make itself known. there's nothing to rush as far as he's aware of. ]

I can work with that. Shall I let you go then? I'm sure you'd like me out of your hair.

[probe]

[a pause.]

... Mm. If you want.

[nodo]

[ hmmm. ]

I thought you'd be more eager to see me go.

[probe]

[don't look at them.]

I don't care what you do. Do what you want.
