[THAT MOMENT WHEN I GOT FURTHER IN ANOTHER THREAD AND NEED TO GENTLY ADJUST THE COURSE OF THIS THREAD]

.... ah, right.

[ . . . . ]

Mm, can you do me a favor and not mention the ink thing to anyone else? I think I know what's going on, but I can't give extra details.

I'll explain after trial.

[enfangs]

[he squints.]

This constant vagueness thing is pissing me off, but sure.

[sengokus]

[he raises both of his hands in surrender]

I don't like it either but I'll be in big trouble if you don't agree...!

[enfangs]

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

[sengokus]

Thanks...

[he sighs]

But I think we can at least start making a list of possible places to look, and then see if any of the hints we get might point to suspects.

[enfangs]

Endorsi's seeing something off in the tea room, but that's all I got.

[sengokus]

[a nod...]

Yeah.

I think there's that, and the planetarium 'cause of another effect I heard of... And Mahito-san said that when he walks it sounds like he's walking on broken glass? So that's...

[terrible]

[enfangs]

Geez. You really make the rounds, huh?

[sengokus]

[he snorts at that - the sound a mixture of amusement and bitterness]

I'd work faster if I could see everything, you know?

[mineo has no doubts about his own abilities when it comes to investigating and his heart's in it, at least]

Never thought I'd hate magic this much.

[enfangs]

When powers get thrown into the mix, it's usually not in the interest of making things fair, yeah. General universal rules.

[sengokus]

[he just shakes his head at that before running a hand through his hair in agitation]

Hmph...

[ . . . ]

We should try to remember what powers Ashiya-san and Omi-san had too. I know that Ashiya-san and I shared the one about making blood boil...

[enfangs]

[THINKING REALLY HARD even though white is

pretty terrible at remembering things]

I think Omi's was about driving someone mad with insatiability or something...?

[sengokus]

[white is doing his best but at least that manages to jog mineo's memory]

Ah - right. To be fixated on something for twenty four hours... So if he used it, then it's probably in effect today.

[enfangs]

Haven't really seen anyone showing signs of it, though...

[sengokus]

Well, we can keep looking.

I don't know if either of them got extra powers from Avatars either...

[enfangs]

[he shrugs, because he also has no idea! white is so useless.]

... What do you think happens to the dead here?

[sengokus]

[ . . . he pauses at that]

I don't know.

But I've heard it's not impossible to get people back.

[enfangs]

[he looks up at the ceiling.]

I asked Sloth about what happens to our souls, since... if anything happens to me, I want to make sure mine gets sent back home. [...] They said they couldn't tell me, but they also suggested someone's dealing with the dead here—couldn't tell me who either, just that it wasn't them.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . his brow furrows automatically at the idea of something happening to white, like it makes him angry instinctively.

but he'll settle to listen to the rest.]

... so you think they're somewhere... else?

[enfangs]

[mineo stop]

I dunno. I'm not exactly an expert on this kind of thing. But at least where I'm from... souls have to be somewhere, I think.

[sengokus]

[ . . . mineo shakes his head quietly.]

There's no certainty where I come from. When you're gone - you might... just be gone. There's a couple of different belief systems but...

[he never thought too hard about it. he lives too much in the present to think about where you might go after.]

But that'd makes sense with what I heard at least... Apparently if we keep indulging, we might be able to bring some people back.

[enfangs]

[hm...]

Where'd you hear that from?

[sengokus]

I was told that I should be more worried about myself to start but...

[he shrugs]

I talked to Greed-san and Sloth-san about it. So it's... not off the table? It's probably about acquiring power, like we need to do for our wishes in the first place.

[enfangs]

Easier said than done...

[sengokus]

Tell me about it.

[he sighs]

I got my book a few weeks back - but I haven't gotten anything new since. But I figure we'll probably get small rewards as we amass indulgences...? I'm gonna run out of places to nap eventually...
