[ 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.

[dotcom]

[ ...

it's interesting, finding out how different other worlds are. but if you take away the idea of this being a monster, some things really aren't that different. ]

They messed with my head a bit. When I asked about the fear thing. So I wouldn't ask them about it, if I were you.

[shiftingwinds]

...thank you for the warning.

[she will most certainly avoid asking them about that, actually.]

[dotcom]

[ he nods. ]

I mentioned it to Sheila, but I don't really know how much she believed me, since I know she likes them.

[shiftingwinds]

...it's probably safer to, ah... "play nice" with them while we can, but to keep the more dangerous parts of them in mind just in case.

[she'll just, like, focus on the parts that aren't creepy as fuck to get her through it.]

Ahaha... I didn't expect to meet someone quite like them here, though.

[dotcom]

No... this place has quite a few surprises.

[ in a lot of ways. ]

But you're right. It's best to not lose a potential resource so early.

[shiftingwinds]

Mmhm.

...the others aren't quite so... well, like that, at least. Do you spend much time with any of them?

[dotcom]

I've spoken to them all. I'm not sure if I get along with any in particular.

[ granted he doesn't think he gets along with most people ]

[shiftingwinds]

Some of them are easier to get along with than others.

[...]

You'd probably get along pretty well with Greed? You're both rather serious.

[dotcom]

Mm. They judge us a lot.

[ sasazuka kins ]

[shiftingwinds]

[pffft...]

...well, that's something you'd have in common, no?

[dotcom]

It's pretty deserved.
