Believe me, I wish I wasn't!

[she. really wishes she was from a world where creatures that devoured other people didn't exist. that would be super nice, actually.]

...they do seem to be pretty good at everything they do. Including being a little terrifying. [hhh - she looks over at molly] ...but, yes. I was able to switch.

I think Envy needs me more than Gluttony does.

[headmt]

You trade some soul-devouring, you get some non-humans, so I suppose it's six of one, half dozen of the other.

[Oh, yes, he nods along at the Envy thing.]

He does rather like people around. Good of you.

[liuli]

[ nodding in agreement... ]

Sounds like you had a rather busy day, meimei.

[aubins]

Ominous. That's the word I'm using for them.

[ ... he just sips his tea ]

If you're happier having Envy as your Avatar, that's half the battle.

[shiftingwinds]

It was a productive day! I found something out [you got injured] and was able to do a favor for a friend. [you probably pissed off gluttony]

If it helps Envy even a little, I'm happy to have him as my Avatar.

[


she's very much not suited for being envious, though. oh well! it's probably fine.]

Anyway... what do you all have planned for today? Do the three of you normally eat breakfast together?

[headmt]

If you need help with indulgences, sure we'd be glad to help. Not very good at the whole envy thing, but I'm sure we can think of something.

[itching at a bruise on his chest.]

Only when I'm being spoiled, seems like. The strawberries are mine, think you're welcome to anything else.

[liuli]

I'll be sure not to bring you anything and eat it all alone in bed in my room by myself next time.

[ pls. maybe he can say that because it's like so blatantly not true

anyway gu yun reaches over and snags a strawberry off the table, and pops it in his mouth to be a brat, and then heads back to take one of the cups of tea and go lean against the counter, waving a hand in the vague direction of the table. eat, eat. ]

A little bird mentioned you might be here, is all. I don't have to stick around.

As for plans, I've owed Wrath a bit of my time, but otherwise, think I'll be staying in my room, lest I accidentally show more kindness to Childe or something.

[aubins]

Maybe bothering Pride.

[ pride is going to hate the colour purple by the end of the murdergame and honestly? it's (not, at all) what they deserve.

he will take a strawberry too because 75 per cent of this room are just absolute brats and 25 per cent is lovely and not included in this stink group. ]

Speaking of -- have either of you spoken to them since... well. The start of the week? Did you notice anything weird about them?

[shiftingwinds]

Thanks! I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

[she is very politely sticking with the congee and



sisi mentioned a mimosa in meta text she's going straight for that. (it's morning. sqx, why.)]

No, you should stick around if you want to! I just didn't want to intrude if this was your thing. [not a very envious thing to say. it's fine.] ...I haven't, but last time I tried to contact them, they didn't answer. I think they probably have a lot going on.

I'd like to get along with them, though, so I think I'll try again...

[headmt]

[TAKING HIS STRAWBERRIES FAR AWAY FROM YOU MONSTERS]

Who, Pride? Yes. Spoke to them yesterday. Weird, not particularly. A bit upset, maybe.

[liuli]

They're probably just avoiding everyone because they don't want to be nice.




[


he gets it ]

[aubins]

[ .... hmm. ]

No... indication they might've been cursed or something? I'm not sure who would actually go and curse the avatars, but...

[ he looks like he's thinking about it quite deeply. while enjoying this strawberry. that he STOLE. ]

[shiftingwinds]

I would hope no one is cursing the avatars...

[...]

...do you think they'll be okay? [pride, that is.]

[headmt]

They don't have to nice to other people who aren't there, so they're fine.

[lmfao

but he does look a little concerned?]

Cursed in what way?

[liuli]

[ gu yun does too, actually...? their pride :( ]

I know they were upset, this weekend.

[aubins]

I got the impression they got on alright with Law, maybe that was why?

[ ...


ah. well. ]

When I messaged them, they appeared, kissed me and vanished. But in pretty much the most begrudging way you could kiss someone.

So I wondered if they were cursed, but they're leaving me on read and not answering me.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I certainly didn't curse them. And I think you'd be reacting a little differently if I had.

[gently does not look at molly.]

[headmt]

Don't [not] look at me!

[IS IT MEAN TO LAUGH

I GUESS IT'S FINE BECAUSE PRIDE ISN'T ACTUALLY HERE

but he calms down after a second]

No, I-- They certainly didn't lay one on me. Are you involved with them, Yuri? And I think it could be about Law, but also some other things. I won't get into it for their sake, but do be gentle with them this week.

[liuli]

[ it's not mean to laugh because gu yun bursts out laughing at the same time. like, LOUDLY.

but it's because - ] Pride too?! Ha - ahahaha, oh, oh they lost a bet! Ha! So did Despair!



[ dw guys its not that serious ]

[aubins]

I'm pretty sure if I was trapped in a burning building and someone offered them a million gold bullions to save me, they'd let me burn, so no.

[ ...

oh.

oh my god.



yuri just snorts with laughter. ]

Hold on, hold on. Despair as well? "Do pay attention and try to stay focused, Leclerc" Despair? Please tell me you know what the bet was.

[shiftingwinds]

[well


she wasn't really here for any of this but. she can't help but laugh? she puts her hands up to cover her mouth, though, trying to stifle the giggles; who knows if the avatars in question are watching or listening...

she looks to molly and gu yun, though, her expression plainly curious. yuri already asked, so she won't, but she definitely wants to hear the answer.]

[headmt]

[staring off wistfully into the distance]

I want a kiss from Pride or Despair . . . they seem the hardest ones to get . . .

[liuli]

[ wehehehehe

the keeper of the lore here, grinning like the shitlord he is ] Right? Imagine my surprise! I went in to commiserate with them a bit, I get on pretty well with Despair, and they walked right up to me and kissed me! Didn't flee afterwards, though, so, I suppose I've got one up on you there.

It was related that message we got about confessing. I suppose neither of them did it in time.

[aubins]

I actually need to talk to Despair more actually, but I guess bringing up their inability to confess wouldn't be a great ice breaker.

[ pfffffffffffffffffft. ] They're tsundere. I expect nothing less. [ STOP TEACHING THEM MODERN WORDS. ]


...

Well, congratulations to everyone here for presumably avoiding that fate.

[shiftingwinds]

Actually, I'm not sure how I avoided that. [a beat.] Maybe it was when I told Gluttony they terrify me? Do you think that counted as confessing something?
