[she heads in without a second thought, and goes straight for the closet. aha! what a nice suit...

holding it up, she looks him over.]

Oh, this is going to work really nicely with your eyes.

[dotcom]

Probably.

[ don't just agree. ]

How did you want to do this?

[shiftingwinds]

[he can agree, though! he'll look great.]

I think the clothing itself works well enough... [gluttony has good taste, apparently! even if they are kinda, ah... well. anyway. moving on!] But we can see if there are any accessories in here that would go well with it, and do your hair.

[...]

Makeup, too. Just a little! It'll make your eyes stand out really well!

[dotcom]

If you make it look stupid, you'll regret it.

[ well, that's a rude way to grant her permission, but it seems like she has permission.

partly because he recognizes this would be an indulgence. ]

[shiftingwinds]

No one ever looks stupid when I'm done with them! I'm the best-dressed god in the heavens at any given time.

[so there!



anyway she's getting right to work, apparently.]

[dotcom]

[ he has no idea if this is actually true or not.

but sasazuka will just sit down on his bed while he watches her get started. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[it is, in fact, 100% true.

so he comes out of this looking absolutely fantastic. you can do hot takeru tags now! as for shi qingxuan, she just looks very proud of her handiwork.]

...aha! There you go. What do you think?

[dotcom]

[ i can't do hot tags

he will go to look in the mirror. ]

It looks fine.

[ a compliment??? ]

[shiftingwinds]

Don't be so modest - you look great! You can admit it!

[ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU'RE HOT praise her makeover skills. (this will never happen.)]

[dotcom]

Did you do this to the others too?

[shiftingwinds]

Not yet, but I could. Oh, we could go together! If I get you to admit they don't look that bad, that'll really feel like I did well!

[dotcom]

[ sqx please make him say something better. ]

You think they're all going?

[shiftingwinds]

Well... probably! It's an easy way to get our indulgence out of the way for the week, isn't it?

[...]

And we might be able to get some information out of Gluttony while we're there, too.

[dotcom]

What do you think about them?

[ he has heard some very different opinions. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...well, they're very good at cooking! So I'm sure the food we'll have tonight will be delicious.

[...]

But some of the things they've said are a little, ah... concerning.

[dotcom]

Creepy? Slightly unhinged?

[ he

understands. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[oh thank god, someone who gets it]

They said they eat souls.

[dotcom]

[ he doesn't seem surprised. ]

They enjoy fear, too. Like genuinely making others afraid.

[ he

is not a big gluttony fan. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...

[oh she. she freezes a little, at that.]

...is that so.

[dotcom]

I witnessed it.

[ ... ]

I think that Gluttony can be useful, but I don't like them as a person.

[shiftingwinds]

[honestly, that's fair and valid. shi qingxuan's face pales a bit, but she nods.]

They're... a bit unsettling. I'd prefer to remain on good terms with them [for now, anyway, lest they, like, decide to eat her soul?] while we're here, but they're...

[how to say this...]

Not the sort of person I would normally seek out, were I still back home.

[dotcom]

It's fine to say you don't like them. I doubt they'll cry about it.

[ gluttony doesn't really seem like the type to actually care if you like them or not. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...aaah, well... between what I heard, and what you heard, they... remind me a bit of something quite unpleasant from my homeland.

[dotcom]

Ah.

[ he frowns. ]

What is it?

[shiftingwinds]

...it's called a Venerable of Empty Words. [which. uh. that's a name! danmei canons have such interesting names for monsters.] Some call it a "jinx monster". It attaches itself to someone and feeds on their fear until they...

[...]

Until they end their own life, usually. And then it devours them.
