[suddenly I can't read actually]

Yup! Exactly like that. It's like any other cycle in the world.

[Ashes to ashes, curse to curse...

As for that:] You made it here like the rest of us, right? For whatever reason. And you're still here! So you're probably the kind of person that can figure out problems and work through stuff and finish anything you decide to start.

[A little nod... He may not be as into figuring out avatar lore as some, but even he knows it ain't an easy looking job.]

[probe]

I see...[sage nodding here but also what the fuck actually.]

When you put it that way, I guess maybe you have a good point. [sure. that sounds right to her.] We're not really sure how this is gonna end and what it'll mean for us when you guys are done here, but I'm sure we'll figure it out in no time.

[touchups]

[What the fuck is right!!]

Mmhm. That's what I mean! You made it this far, you'll make it farther. [A little nod. His attention finally drops back to his bracelet, which he appears to be almost done with.]

You can figure out all the details later. It's better not to crowd your brain up with too much stuff, anyway.

[probe]

Are you gonna judge me if I say I'm definitely not? [she's teasing, but also true.]

[touchups]

Nope! We're in the same boat!

[He's teasing back, but also still true. ONE BRAINCELL!!]

Overthinking this is even worse than underthinking them sometimes. Smart people make stupid choices because they chew it over too long, you know? Happens all the time.

[probe]

It happens every trial. That's why you guys spent so long thinking that Kaz was turned into a candybar and stuff.

[touchups]

Ah, don't remind me! I'm still sad I slept through that one...

[probe]

Please. I think they had enough chaos without you being awake, too.

[touchups]

I dunno! There's always room for more chaos, I think.

[In the way he's going to miss out on the UTTER CHAOS that his own trial is sure to become. God bless.]

[probe]

That's easy for you to say! You're not the one who has to host each week.

[touchups]

I wouldn't mind hosting, either!

[CAN YOU IMAGINE A TRIAL WITH MAHITO THE HOST.]

--Hey, lemme see your wrist.

[probe]

But then I'd be out of a job! [cheerfully, but in a way that says "FUCK NO."

but she also obediently holds out her wrist. hm?]

[touchups]

Not even considering hiring another co-host? Too many cooks in the kitchen, I guess...

[But!! He'll tie off the end of the bracelet he'd been working on, and moves to tie it around her wrist when he's done. It's snug enough to not fall out, with enough gap to be comfy.]

[probe]

It's bad enough with the seven I have. [teasing. but she looks at the bracelet and immediately claps in delight.]

This is cute, thank you! [even if he's horrible she's never taking this off.] You really are good at this.

[touchups]

[He just laughs at that... HE CAN IMAGINE.

Her reaction seems to make him happy in turn, and he mirrors the gesture, clapping his hands together too! A FOOL. He is truly a horrible creature, but sometimes you're both genuine in your murderous intent and also your gestures of weird gremlin curse fondness(???), it's fine.]

Thanks! I've only made this type of bracelet, so I've had a bit of practice before now.

[Wiggling his demon fingers...]

[probe]

[they're both varying degrees of gremlin, except lust doesn't kill people for fun.]

It shows. I like the colors a lot. [no shit, lust.] Planning on making even more then?

[touchups]

[That's definitely where most people here have Mahito beat.]

Nice, I'm glad! I though they suited you pretty well. [But he'll nod about that...] I'm gonna make one for Greed! Aoi, too. [THIS ABSOLUTE GOBLIN.] Maybe Endorsi?

[probe]

I think they'd like that! Well. Aoi and Endorsi, anyway. Who knows what Greed even likes?

[touchups]

Criminal justice! And also Shakespeare.

[For some reason, he sounds proud of the fact that he's managed to figure out even that much.]

I can't really make them anything for that, though.

[probe]

No, not really. Guess a bracelet will just have to do! I'm sure they'll all like them a lot.

[touchups]

Hopefully, yeah! I'm trying to keep things clean this week, too.

[For Gluttony! And also Greed!! Who he now knows is one of the people that has to actually try piecing yakety sax crime scenes together.]

[probe]

Sounds like a lot of willpower for you. Think you'll be able to manage?

[the answer is absolutely not. boob.]

[touchups]

Yeah, I think so! I have a good plan and it's gonna be quick and clean!

[And then the entire fuckin airport happened.]

[probe]

Well...then I guess...well I can't say I can't wait to see it because you seriously should maybe not kill so many people, but it'll be interesting!

[touchups]

[LUST JUST SWEATILY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TELL MAHITO GOOD JOB WITHOUT ACTUALLY TELLING HIM GOOD JOB.]

I've only got two kills so far! That's super tiny, right? Though I'll probably go again next week if I make it through this one. Ming Yi and Endorsi both want another turn, so I gotta pick who to go with!

[They really are just creating a band of murderers... TOO BAD HE WAS THE FIRST DOMINO TO FALL. The chaos he's caused is truly hilarious.]
