[FRIEND... Maus is rewarded with plentiful pats and pets and ear scritches, though Mahito will at least keep his attention on Greed, for the most part.]

Yeah! Congrats on your eyes. [Thanks, Mahito. Anyway, he just... nods...]

Mmhm, that's all for the yarn. Some nice colors would be good, I guess? [Tapping his chin with his free hand in thought... He is genuinely here to vibe with these friendship bracelets.]

[probe]

[the only reason mahito isn't dropkicked into space is because he's nice to their dog.]

Erm. Thank you. [jesus.] ...I suppose that's viable, sure. I can provide you with enough for that purpose.

[touchups]

[Fair mood honestly, his general appreciation for nature and animals is about his only saving grace.]

Thanks! [BEAMING. And then as if to remind everyone that he is in fact a fucking curse:] I'm gonna kill her next week, so I figured it'd be nice to do something fun first.

[probe]

Ah. [there it is!] Your mind's made up then?

[touchups]

[There it is...]

Yep! It's been really hard to hold off. [His CURSE INSTINCTS, GREED.] But I promised Lust that I'd remember more about whoever I kill this time, and Gluttony that I'd be cleaner about it!

[probe]

I'm genuinely curious if this is what they meant. [jesus.]

Another attempt with Miss Jahad?

[touchups]

What else could they have meant?

[JESUS INDEED. He's just out here... He also shakes his head.]

Nah; Childe wants to take a shot. Endorsi wants to go again too, but I think she probably won't mind waiting a little.

[probe]

I'm not even going to guess. [greed is so tired, they do not wish to try and understand their co-workers right now.]

I see...are you not confident enough to do this alone?

[touchups]

[Greed is extremely valid, honestly. Anyway, he holds his hands up!]

I kill people alone all the time! It's fun, but it was a lot of fun killing with Endorsi before, too. I've only ever killed with other curses or dark sorcerers until now! Why? Should I do it alone instead?

[probe]

I'm not going to tell you how to perform a murder, Mahito.

[they were mostly curious is all.]

[touchups]

Mm, alright! Just figured I could take another request or suggestion, since I've already taken two.

[Terrible, terrible lad! Though something seems to occur to him, and after a beat:]

Oh - hey, I heard you can't give us, like, real weapons to use. But what about fake ones? If I asked for a gun that looked and felt real but wasn't, would that be okay? Just curious!

[probe]

[for some reason, they tense up at the mention of a gun.]

...for what purpose?

[touchups]

[Unfortunately, his demon eyes notice that, and he grins in a somewhat reflexive way. Sometimes you're just a shark whose blood nose picks up on people's tension and discomfort...]

I thought of a fun game to play. [Hm.] Mm... But you don't like guns, huh? That's fine, that's fine. I can use something else.

[probe]

I don't necessarily think Russian Roulette is what most people would consider fun. [WHAT THE FUCK ELSE COULD HE MEAN.]

But I would prefer you use something else, yes. [says the npc who literally drew a gun on a few people earlier this week. it's fine.]

[touchups]

[HIS GRIN JUST WIDENS. Unfortunately, Greed is spot-on.]

People never like playing games like that, huh... [A SIGH.] Since I like you so much, I'll use something else, then. What about a nice vial? Something really pretty!

[probe]

An empty one? [they have learned they must question everything.]

[touchups]

Yep! Just an empty one.

[They continue to be so very valid.]

[probe]

And your plan for it?

[touchups]

Russian roulette, but poison! Not real poison, though. [MAHITO.] Ah! Can I still ask for an ability like last time, too? I think I'd have to get rid of one first, but that shouldn't be a problem.

[Time to curse Gojou with hickeys.]

[probe]

...I have so many questions and you only serve to make me ask more of them.

Come to me with a plan, and I'll see what I can do I suppose.

[touchups]

[Honestly real as hell. Mahito is just smiling away like the terrible demon he is...]

Okay! I'll see you again tomorrow, then. [Giving Maus a few more affectionate pets.] Go rest or Wrath's gonna be mad that I called you away for too long!

[probe]

[they reach into their cloak and fling some yarn in multiple colors at him though.]

Wrath's going to be angry with me regardless. [but fine. tomorrow's another day.] We'll speak again soon.

[touchups]

[God he already forgot about the yarn in his murder talk... But he'll catch it, expression lighting up. Time to go make friendship bracelets with the person he's going to murder in 6 days!!]

Thanks! [AND A WAVE.] See ya.

[probe]

[they just...wave. goodbye, you complete menace. happy bracelet making.]
