[ .... 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?

[headmt]

Don't see why not!

[Huff. As if kissing is a punishment.]

I told Mineo I valued his friendship and also I liked that he turns really funny colors when I flirt with him. Though he's -- testing me this week.

[making a face when he says that like he can't quite understand why? Hm.]

[liuli]

I said I was more offended they considered kissing me a punishment, personally. I'm an excellent kisser.

[ hrmfph. his PRIDE

anyway. gu yun glances over at molly and reaches over to push a strawberry near his mouth when he pulls a face. ahh. eat this. ]

I told Childe something I did on our little adventure, so, I suppose I took the terrible route with you, Qingxuan. That probably counts.

Now I'm curious, though. Have you kissed any of the other Avatars, Yuri? Have you been particularly busy?

[aubins]

Right? I’m a delight to kiss.

And I think, yeah. That probably worked, Shi. Just telling someone you wouldn’t do normally was probably enough, as long as it tied in to you personally.

[ hm! why oh why. yuri just watches all of this going on, but doesn’t say anything about confessions or the like. he does give gu yun an amused but dry look: ]

What sort of gentleman kisses and tells? To paraphrase your own words.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[she fans herself]

Yes, yes, I'm sure you're all very good at that. [that being. kissing. she believes in you guys. it's fine.] Seems more to me like Pride and Despair got a reward, not a punishment.

[headmt]

[he doesn't say anything, just quirking an eyebrow and eating his strawberries happily. Besides, no one asked him to dish on anything, so he doesn't.]

[liuli]

C - [ kindness week dammit ] From the man who hounded me the first week about it, that seems very considerate.

[ waving his tea cup in yuri's direction. ]

And, well, meimei. [ sqx don't say this ], you'd know, right? [ BIG EXAGGERATED WINK ] So I think your assessment simply must be correct.

[aubins]

What goes around comes around in the end.

[ he sips his own tea, long and slow and exaggerated. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[


she flushes crimson and chokes on her mimosa]

Gu-xiong!

[DON'T JUST SAY THAT.]

[headmt]

[sipping one of the teas, while he takes a brief look at all of their faces, tail swishing.]

. . . Think I've kissed all of you actually.

[god. bad.]

[liuli]

[ molly your ho crimes

anyway gu yun looks very pleased that he embarrassed shi qingxuan so much, mostly because he cannot actually be a bully so he just smiles....

... and then at molly's statement, tilts his head, and then looks at yuri. :thinking: ]

[aubins]

[ he just sips his tea and looks at gu yun. yes, sir? are you okay? ]

This can all be rectified, but I think Shi might blush herself unconscious if we did.
