[ she shifts a little uncomfortably... but she can tell gluttony probably isn't going to say any more than that, if they're telling her to go talk to them herself. but it's fine, another question quickly comes to mind. ]
Oh—am I allowed to be friends with the other Avatars? Like, I won't get in trouble, and you won't get jealous or anything?
Not upset, no... but I'm trying to find a way to understand you. Because people tell Misa that living just for Light's sake is wrong, but his happiness is my happiness, too. He's the most important thing to me in the world, after all. Even if it doesn't seem like it's benefiting me in the end, that isn't how I see it at all.
So... are we really that important to Toni and the others?
[hmm. the tail swishes back and forth behind them.]
All of you are extremely important to us, yes. I do not believe anyone is going to change your mind, correct? About your Light. So you shall have to do all that you can to make living for him worthwhile. Yes?
You have already made your choices. There is no going back, Miss Amane. Continue reaching for your goal, and I and the rest of us will be forever grateful.
[ there is no hesitation, no nervousness in either her voice or gaze. ]
So whatever Toni needs done, as long as it doesn't betray Light, Misa will do it, no question! I'll lie, I'll steal, I'll kill! Even...even if that means letting others use me, too! Because he'll forgive me—because sometimes sacrifices are necessary! My Light knows that best of all!
. . .
That's the kind of thing Toni wants to hear, right?
[in the shadows of the hood, a mouth curls back to reveal a sharp-toothed smile.]
Very good. I think you will accomplish a great deal here, Miss Amane. Do try not to get ahead of yourself. Everyone else is so ready to burn the candle at both ends. Indulging a lot is good, but we need you all for more than simply a week or two.
You understand, right? Playing the long game. It really makes things more delicious.
[ she got ahead of herself in a similar way when she tried to get light to notice her originally, huh... she'll at least allow herself to look as sheepish as she actually feels in response. also, again, the creepy factor does nothing to scare her. in fact, she's becoming more and more comfortable the more she talks to gluttony... smh... ]
Um, you know, you can just call me Misa, by the way. Calling me "Miss Amane" seems kinda... stuffy? Even though you're, like, my boss... all my old managers always called me Misa-Misa, so I think that would be okay for Toni, too.
Wh—Toni, I'm an idol. This sort of thing is normal in my career! Of course, whenever Light is ready to get married, I'll happily retire to become Mrs. Yagami, but we both know that's still a long time away.

I will warn you, however, that a few of them will reject your attempts at friendship. So good luck.

Say, Toni? What happens if Misa does a lot of indulging for you? What do you get?
no subject
[why do the glowing orange eyes not blink. unnerving.]
The satisfaction of knowing you are well on your way to receiving what it is you desire.
no subject
Really? That's it? Don't you want anything for yourself?
no subject
Are you upset in the belief we are not receiving anything for assisting you in your own goals?
no subject

[thinks about them calling her misa-misa
and closes my eyes.]
You are a grown lady, are you not?

[ she claps!! ]
—Uh, of course I am? Why do you ask?
no subject
Miss Amane, or Misa. If you become married later, then it would be Mrs. and the surname of your husband.

Very well. Misa will do for now. Perhaps if you perform... I shall allow you to be Misa-Misa.
no subject
Then I'll do my very best to impress you! You'll see that Misa-Misa is super serious!
