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.]

[probe]

[YEAH???]

Yeah, see, it's the "so far" that's concerning. ...any idea who you'd go after next?

[touchups]

Well, Childe said that Pride told him we could only kill one person each a week, so... It's still not a lot! It should be fine.

[It will be fine because his ass is gonna die.]

Don't know about that, either. We'd have to see what Endorsi's new list looks like! After we clear out Aoi and Lenore, there's only Primrose left and Childe doesn't wanna go for her 'cuz of the company she keeps.

[probe]

Pride's right. [she should be a little offended childe went to talk to pride about it but she also gets why.] Pacing yourself is better.

[so that way someone can kill you ig.]

...hey, what's Endorsi getting out of all this anyway? I know why you and Childe are the way you are, but what about her?
