Can I ask what Wrath-san gave you?

[enfangs]

I'll give you a hint: I used it not long after telling you about it. You saw its effect.

I was trying to stop Douman from eating any more evidence.

[sengokus]

[he thinks back on trial and then - just looks torn between being horribly amused and even more tired. instead he's just gonna throw the blankets into the washer and let it do its thing for the rest of this conversation]

Well....

Thanks for trying your best, White-kun.

[enfangs]

[he just shrugs at that, because he's not sure if mineo is, like. being passive aggressive here.]

[sengokus]

[mineo doesn't know how to be passive aggressive he's unfortunately sincere]

... I mean it.

Sorry you had to use it on something stupid and we still didn't get anywhere with it.

[enfangs]

Whatever. It's not like Wrath gave me it 'cause we thought I'd use it for something useful, anyway.

[sengokus]

I guess....

Have you gotten any other powers from the Avatars since?

[enfangs]

Nope. I'm heeding Wrath's advice of not asking, so it hasn't come up.

[sengokus]

Wrath-san told you not to ask the others...? Why?

[enfangs]

Hey, would you feel inclined to do it if someone came up to you and just asked for you to give 'em power?

[sengokus]

Sloth-san just went for it, yeah. They seemed pretty excited honestly.

[enfangs]

Geez. Last time I tried that shit years ago, I just nearly died. [a snort] Guess I'll try hitting up Sloth sometime, then.

[sengokus]

The power I got was pretty dumb... I'm wondering if the Avatars can give out other stuff that might be more helpful.

[enfangs]

Probably, but I doubt they'd hand 'em out to anyone just for asking.

[sengokus]

[he sighs....]

... yeah. I guess it's time to get to negotiating. Not exactly my forte though.

[enfangs]

Well, just pick your targets wisely. Like I said, I don't think some of the Avatars would be thrilled to negotiate in the first place.

[sengokus]

You've really spent a lot of time with 'em, huh, White-kun....

[enfangs]

Huh? No, that's just common sense. 'Sides, giving out power was part of my job once, and you don't wanna know what I did with some of the people I rejected.

[sengokus]

[a beat]

No, I probably don't.

[but he'll just sigh a bit and nod along.]

Yeah... Well - I hear that some people are getting more useful powers at least. Kinda wish that was me, but hopefully we can rely on them a bit more tomorrow.

[enfangs]

Or they could've been used to kill people.

[sengokus]

Ashiya-san's acting weird today - if you run into him. He's kicking stuff, but really suddenly, and it seems like it's just whatever's on the ground.

We don't know why.

But maybe it's nothing.

[enfangs]

Huh. Well, that guy always seemed like a weirdo, so it wouldn't surprise me.

[sengokus]

I think Ashiya-san's pretty cool....

But - yeah. Just keep it in mind tomorrow. I don't know if any of the... victims had access to a secondary power or not.

[enfangs]

You think everyone's cool in some way. [...] You, uh, doing okay, by the way?

[sengokus]

Depends. I can really hate some people.

[but he won't go into detail about it. instead at the question he just pauses.]

... No. Luca-san was my friend. I liked Vlad-san, actually, even if everyone else thought he was weird and... Starphase-san.... He reached out to me even after we fought. We were probably never going to get along... but he probably didn't deserve to die.
