Comments

[touchups]

Yeah, it'll probably stay the same! About most things, anyway.

[Mahito is one of those people who doesn't believe consistency is crucial to being genuine, so he's also equally likely to flop some opinions on a dime just because...]

Some people like the predictability! [SPECIAL GRADE CURSES ARE NOTORIOUSLY UNPREDICTABLE.] You're pretty understanding, though.

[probe]

Predictability sounds pretty boring though...[just saying.] But thanks, I think. It's not that hard to understand when you think about it.

[touchups]

That's why I like you.

[VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR EVERYONE.]

I think you're right about that, too! But a lot of people still have a hard time with it.

[probe]

Hehe, thanks. [THAT SHOULD NOT BE A COMPLIMENT.]

I guess the question is...do you want people to understand?

[touchups]

[SURE IT SHOULD. IT'S DEFINITELY A COMPLIMENT, YEAH!! He just flashes her a grin, and then seems to consider the question for a second.]

For something like that? Sure, I guess! It'd be weird at first, though.

[probe]

Weird how?

[touchups]

I'm not used to it.

[The idea of being perceived in any way is... funky....... He doesn't mind it, but he wouldn't exactly love it.]

Pretty much just that, though.

[probe]

Guess that makes sense...but maybe it's not a thing to get used to anyway.

[touchups]

Not for a curse, anyway!

[Imagine a world where people just understood fleas to the point that he was used to it. Terrible for humanity.]

--Can I pick the next song?

[probe]

[that is really horrible actually. but they nod!]

Oh, yeah sure. Sorry, I guess I wasn't paying attention.

[touchups]

[YEAH. IT'S BAD!!]

Haha, it's fine. I like talking to you! [UNFORTUNATELY FOR EVERYONE, ONCE AGAIN. But he'll lean over and start scrolling through his own screen, next.] You're probably one of my favorite people here to chat with, actually.

[probe]

[they lean on the dance bar to watch him scroll.]

Yeah? That makes me kind of happy, actually. Even if you killed one of my favorite people.

[mahito.]

[touchups]

[He's going to pick like sandstorm or something just to make everyone suffer.]

Eh? I did? [HE SEEMS SURPRISED FOR SOME REASON??? Probably because he's immediately like VLAD???? before he remembers Luca.] --Oh, yeah. I forgot that guy was aligned with you...

[Look. Sometimes... you just snipe a fav.]

[probe]

Seriously, Mahito? [NO FUCK VLAD VLAD WAS MEAN TO WRATH and lust will hold a grudge forever about that.]

[touchups]

[Absolutely hilarious honestly. CAN'T BELIEVE HE, THE CURSE, IS CURRENTLY MORE WELL-LIKED THAN VLAD.]

What! I only just finally remembered everyone's names, how am I supposed to remember where they go?

[probe]

You do remember you guys have tattoos, don't you...

[MAHITO.]

[touchups]

Yeah, and? Am I supposed to remember 'em?

[HIS ATTENTION SPAN AND TINY, TINY MEMORY, LUST!!! IF HE CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER SOMEONE'S NAME WHY WOULD HE REMEMBER THEIR TATTOO.]

[probe]

[THEY JUST? GRAB HIS STUPID HAND AND WAVE IT?]

You could at least look!

[touchups]

[HE LETS HIS STUPID HAND BE WAVED AROUND... Honestly deserved.]

I do! And then I forget. [Is. Is that better or worse.] C'mon, gimme a break, I've never had to care about remembering this many details about this many people at once before.

[probe]

[idiot! fool! they keep waving it around!]

You could put in a little effort if you're gonna put in a ton to kill them anyway.

[they don't like killing but they can also acknowledge that mahito is just. this way.]

[touchups]

[WAAAAAAH LUST IS BEING A BULLY.]

Fiiine, fine, fine! I'll remember stuff! More stuff. At least their name and where they were, okay? Is that good?

[IS THAT GOOD??????]

[probe]

[yeah surprise lust is actually big bully.]

That's a good start! You gotta do your best to do it, okay?

[touchups]

[The inner bully revealed... He huffs, shaking his arm a little so he can retrieve it.]

I'll try... People are such a pain to keep track of.

[probe]

But I bet you keep track of all sorts of other stuff, don't you?

[take your arm back.]

[touchups]

Yeah, but it's important stuff.

[Like Virginia Woolf quotes, apparently. With a sigh, he lingers on the sample for Paranoia Survivor.]
