[misa receives a message asking her to come to the kitchen. because gluttony.
the figure waiting on her is tall and robed like the others. the hood is etched with the mouth-hand symbol. but there are also two thick, brown horns spiking out of the hood and curving back over their head. and a black, spade tail swishing behind them.]
Hello, Miss Amane.

Hello, Miss Amane.
[ there's a certain kind of hesitance in misa's countenance as she enters the kitchen, but once she sees the figure who must be gluttony, her demeanor quickly changes. suddenly there's a pep in her step as she holds her head high, even as she quickly eyes the horns and tail. hm. ]
Oh, you must be Toni! You're a lot taller than I was imagining!
Oh, you must be Toni! You're a lot taller than I was imagining!
I have a few questions! And I kind of just want to get to know you.
[ she wanders over to the vending machine, and has it generate a parfait! once it's finished, she takes it and hops onto a counter. (hopefully this gets her closer to their eye level??) ]
Lala called the people assigned to them their "team"... am I really working with the other people who have the same tattoo as me in order to win?

Very well.
[they allow misa to get something from the vending machine without even budging. patiently waiting, the tail swaying.
she is... yeah, almost on their eye level now.]
"Lala"? We are merely aligned to the same sin. You may work together if you wish, but I believe "Lala" simply enjoys referring to everyone aligned as a team.
You do not all have to win together to win.

Oh—Lala is Lust. Just like how you're Toni! They sound cuter than your titles.
[ misa kicks her feet as she thoughtfully samples the parfait... then she smiles, because it tastes pretty damn good! too bad if gluttony wanted some, though she's sure they won't mind. ]
That's good to know, though. I don't want to have to rely on other people if they're not serious about winning. Misa is in it to win it, after all. [ another bite of the parfait, this time sucking on the spoon a little after she swallows. ] Next question: do all my indulgences have to be gluttony-themed, or can I do whatever and still earn points?

Ah, I see. Understood.
[they shall remember. it doesn't seem as if they mind misa is being greedy with the parfait.]
You should not stray from too far gluttony, if you can. You may partake in other sins; however, doing so will not feel as pleasing. It will not merit you much movement toward what you desire.

Got it...
[ she suddenly draws her legs up onto the counter and sits on her knees. ]
Then Misa will do her best for Toni, because if I win, then that means Light will finally love me!
[ this ends up manifesting as heart-shaped bubbles surrounding her head. ]

[ without any sort of hesitation, she meets gluttony's (approximate) eye and simply says: ]
Yes.
Yes.
[ usually, this sort of display would freak someone out... but not misa! without breaking eye (?) contact with them, her voice very even, almost serious: ]
Toni, are you and the others shinigami?
Toni, are you and the others shinigami?
Wait, for real?! Their—their Death Note doesn't have its powers either, right?
Huh? How can they be one without a Death Note...?
Unless... "shinigami" means something completely different to them than it does to me?

...mm, I guess.
[ 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?

Oh, whew, that's fine! I just wanted to know if that was discouraged among you guys.
[ . . . ]
Say, Toni? What happens if Misa does a lot of indulging for you? What do you get?

[ joke's on you she's spent enough time around rem and ryuk that she's not fazed at all by the lack of blink ]
Really? That's it? Don't you want anything for yourself?
Really? That's it? Don't you want anything for yourself?
[ lil too late for that :( ]
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.
