[HE HAS NEVER KNOWN A SINGLE APOLOGY IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE. Though he does perk up a little at that, and the way his head cocks to the side is almost like a curious cat.]

Do you think I should?

[It's hard to get a gauge on how someone thinks or feels when you can't see their face or their soul, but he would truly have a wonderful time if Gluttony was at the very least irritated.]

[probe]

[it may or may not seem like they are irritated. their voice is echo-y as usual, but very level. almost purposefully leveled.]

I would accept it, but I do not believe you are going to do that, are you? Is there a purpose to your antics?

[touchups]

[It's somewhat promising...! Definitely not as fun as reactions that are easier to read though, boo.]

Even if I apologized, would you believe it? [He says it with a light and lilting tone, though, since he assumes all of the avatars know what he is. A CREACHUR. He also seems to give that like, a few seconds of genuine thought?? FIRST OF ALL LOOK SOME OF THAT WASN'T HIS FAULT. But also, he eventually raises his hands.]

Depends on what you mean by purpose, but probably not!

[He is like a destructive puppy that just eats the fluff from their own bed cushion and then stands there like "haha" about it.]

[probe]

[quit being a flea goblin.]

I would not find it an honest apology, no.

[for the record, gluttony is not a fan of dogs at all. so this will go well.]

Do try to keep your adventurous meddling away from the rooming. I am sure you can put the energy to better use, can you not?

[touchups]

[He is a flea goblin to his core, he will never improve, he will never change, this is a promise.]

It doesn't take any energy to do that kind of stuff, though? [He says this

so genuinely

without any smarm.

Look he's a being of chaos, of course causing destruction comes to him as naturally as breathing comes to a human.]

How's this! What room's your favorite? I'll leave that one alone.

[probe]

[what in god's damn name. stop. stop causing destruction for TWO seconds.]

All of them.

[hmph.]

I have a better offer for you: I will give you something if you refrain from destroying any of the rooms until Monday.

[touchups]

[HE CAN'T IT'S IN HIS BLOOD. HIS CURSE BLOOD.

Also wow what an unfun answer!! Though he does seem at least a little intrigued by the offer, and he cants his head to the side curiously.]

Something good? [BINCH he knows how the wording game works.] Something I'd actually like?

[probe]

You received something recently, did you not? Last week.

[their tail swishes back and forth behind them. their glowing, orange eyes regard mahito.]

I will give you another.

[touchups]

[UNFUCKINGFORTUNATELY, he's greed for a reason. He's also the most fickle creature to exist and will gladly abandon anything that he finds interesting for something he finds more interesting at any given time.

This is also the first thing that gets him to sit up from his slouch... god i hate mahito]

Wow! Really? All I have to do is just not wreck anything until Monday?

[HE SAYS THIS LIKE IT WON'T BE A MONUMENTAL TASK. IT WILL BE.]

[probe]

Yes. You cannot make a mess of, or destroy, any room available, or anything inside of any room until Monday morning.

[yes. good.

they motion toward mahito, holding the hand there.]

Do not go back on your word. If you do, I will promptly negate what I have given you, even if you have used it. Say you agree.

[touchups]

[Thank god this conversation is happening on Tuesday because Monday he already wrecked shit, absolutely hate this.]

Ah, wow... No mess either? None at all? Even if I clean it up?

[Or if SOMEONE sticks him in the WASHING MACHINE AGAIN....... THIS IS GOING TO BE SO HARD ACTUALLY???? But at the same time, he unfortunately loves a good challenge just as much as he loves mindlessly wrecking shit for no reason at all. So!! He'll move forward and, after a pause, reaches out for their hand. He's not even going for a handshake, he doesn't even know if that's what they were going for, he just sees a hand here and wants to hold it.]

Mmm... Okay! Okay, I agree.

[i was about to say someday he's going to agree to something that really fucks him over in the end but that's already happened huh]

[probe]

No mess.

[stop being a little shithead, nasty flea.

they really don't want to touch mahito's dirty gremlin hand, but. well, the aesthetic. at least they are wearing gloves.

they take it, their grip powerful without it being crushing. even if mahito did have curse powers, he can tell: this person doesn't even have a soul at all. a mouth appears in the shadow of the hood, smiling with all sharp teeth. another mouth appears, another.

down along their arms, more mouths, all of them smiling wickedly. and then they close and are gone. gluttony let's go.]

Very well. Pick a number, one through three.

[touchups]

[sebastian is that you

Anyway unfortunately Gluttony has now become another favorite by virtue of having extra mouths where mouths shouldn't be. He's a fan! He also holds onto their hand for a beat longer after they let go, but. Y'know. Even Mahito has a sliver of self-preservation, and so far, this is the avatar that's given him the most Bad Vibes. Terrible that he loves to see it. He lets go soon after, himself.]

Fiiine, fine. No mess. One!

[He picks it without hesitation, god.]

[probe]

[STOP WHY WOULD SEBASTIAN BE IN A FUCK GAME

do not perceive their extra mouths, or their bad vibes. they are gluttony, after all. they motion with the previous held hand toward mahito.

hopefully, he has his phone. it goes off with the same ring from before. there is a new attachment. the body reads Ravenous Paranoia.

will he download it?]

[touchups]

[SEBASTIAN?????? THE FUCK DEMON??????? REALLY???????

Anyway yes he does, because Gojou has not stuffed him in a closet and stolen it yet. So!! He just opens up his phone and downloads it without hesitation. I WISH HE WOULD HESITATE ONCE IN HIS FUCKING LIFE but look he figures if this is some funky set-up, he will just wreck every single room in the base as revenge.]

[probe]

[please, mahito have a single ounce of hesitation about literally anything here. thank you.

the attachment says, Turn someone against someone else by making them mad with hunger.]

There you are. It will allow you to make someone an enemy of someone else. The effect of it will last for one day, and then it will wear off. Oh.

[the mouth in the hood smiles, teeth sharp.]

You can have no more than two of these abilities at one time. Your slots are full, so to speak.

[touchups]

[He will not.

Anyway this is??? Hilarious????? HE LOVES THIS SO MUCH. AFTER READING IT, HE IMMEDIATELY BURSTS INTO TERRIBLE LAUGHTER like the absolute garbage lad he is, looking peak amused.]

Ah — wow, wow! This one's so funny...! Thanks! [He will not apologize but apparently he'll at least be grateful... He smiles right back at the ominous smiling mouth; a bright grin for a cheery lad.] So all I have to do is use one and then I've freed up a slot, right?

[GOING FROM WWX JUST BARELY EVER USING HIS SHIT TO MAHITO WHO'S GOING TO INFLICT TORMENT ON PEOPLE FOR FUNSIES....... Or for murder, which technically is also for funsies.]

[probe]

[WHY IS HE LAUGHING this is so stupid. why?]

Yes, exactly like that. Don't forget our agreement. If the rooms remain fine, this ability is yours to do with how you would like.

[can't believe mahito is going to go out into the world and make people hate other people. wow.]

[touchups]

[HE IS A STUPID LAD, THAT'S WHY!! Also he loves chaos and this is a beautiful chaos tool. He will use it to fulfill his one purpose in life... causing chaos.]

Mm, I won't! We do have binding vows where I'm from, you know. I'm good at keeping my word.

[Unfortunately true, even if he also straight up murders the people he contracts with after the contract is over.]

[probe]

[closes eyes.]

Very good. We have something in common then, knowing binding vows.

[they will string mahito up by his nasty bare flea feet if he goes back on his word. don't break this trust.]

[touchups]

[WOW leave his bare fleet alone. Anyway it's fine Mahito will just be on his most pristine best behavior until Tuesday and then he will let out all his pent up chaos in one fell swoop.]

Yeah? Our binding vows are a real pain. You can't break them once they're formed, or some pretty bad things happen... But at least you can set the terms equally, so every party gets something out of it. [And then, with a curious tilt of his head:] Are the ones you know like that?

[probe]

[gluttony is going to kill mahito in cold blood probably, come tuesday. try it. gluttony is ready and waiting.]

Yes, exactly like that. It is a contract, of course. There are terms and conditions, and there are consequences if you break them.

[touchups]

[STOP SHOULDA MADE MORE SPECIFICATIONS AND STIPULATIONS IF YOU WANTED TO TRULY WRANGLE A FLEA.]

Mm! You get it, then. Anything binding is kinda stupid, but getting something good out of it is nice, at least.

[He got nothing out of his binding vow except the murder after????? GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM APPARENTLY.]

Hey, does that mean you have curses where you come from, too?

[probe]

[sometimes what you want after the binding vow is murder. nods.]

Curses...? I do not think we have curses quite like the ones you are use to, no. We have some people who are "cursed," to say the least.

[touchups]

[Unfortunate that they vibe over this.

Anyway, with open amusement:]

Cursed in the literal sense or the meme sense? [god do i hate that he's modern enough to say this shit.] Kinda funny to know that there are other things that have to deal with binding vows, though. There are some really weird similarities between places and people here!
