I had a conversation with Lust that suggested. . . they are forbidden in some way from interfering in our decisions, because something about the decisions themselves are relevant here.
... Huh. You guys are so much better at the Q part of Q and A. The most I've gotten is that the things that actual matter are pretty fucking counterintuitive.
[So proud of their braincells, though.]
If this is a test, it must be one to learn who's the biggest douche in the universe.
[Well. That might not be 100% false, all things considered.]
[She's just feeling a little overly pleased getting praised for being smart from Sheila don't mind her.]
Another thing we've learned is that we were absolutely correct to choose HK-47.
[She. . . doesn't want to betray the person who told her this in any way, but she also thinks it's very important.]
When he spoke of having received "permission" - that is what leads me to believe the Avatars cannot interfere with us in certain critical ways. There was no choice but to grant that permission once asked, but the one asked instead put strict limitations on it. If they had not, he would have tried to kill far more of us than he did.
It is possible there are others, though perhaps with Sutcliffe and that horrible metal thing dead, none so nakedly vile.
Mm. When I asked about it, the Avatar I spoke to was pretty firm that they didn't actually ask him to do it. I think there are some people who are more suspicious than others, but whether or not that means they'll actually kill someone is up in the air.
[ a pause. ]
But at least for trials, I have a thing that might possibly help. Apparently I passed Greed's test [ THE SOMEHOW ISN'T SAID, BUT IT'S THERE, ] and they gave me the ability to tell if one statement is a lie. So that's one thing we can keep in mind if we have another trial. I'd like to keep it a secret for now, so try not to tell others about it. I wouldn't want everyone to be on guard, especially since I only have it for two weeks.
[Claps her hands! Or, more like gently slaps her smoothie cup once or twice.]
Look at you, acing tests and getting lie detecting powers! Way to go, Takeru! [She mimics a zipping motion over her mouth.] Don't worry, my lips are sealed. And maybe if we're lucky, no one else will die and we can track down our corpse magician. Killing Grell was community service, but I'm a little worried about who the hell made Kaz's whole fucking body disappear? Just a thought.
["No one else will die," she says, hours before curfew happens again.]
By the way, side note. Do we think Pride would want the paper bag...? Between asshole robots taking advantage of their NDAs and other people getting suspicious, I feel bad for the avatars.
Despite solving neither case and spending so much time on the theory of Toblerone transformation? Truly, Greed must have felt you needed the additional help quite badly.
[Wow!!!!! Sorry but. She's so deeply ass blasted that Greed gave Sasazuka an extra credit assignment and a gold star and didn't give her shit that she momentarily forgot they were vore trauma comrades.]
. . . As for Pride, I don't get the sense the child tended to wear such a thing in his memories. It may only invite more questions, some of which we ought not to answer. [Pride does not need to know we almost vored his daughter?]
But it may be helpful for him in locating her, so perhaps.
Greed said I did a good job, and that I was one of the only few they trusted to use the power correctly, actually.
[ but!! moving on!!! ]
I agree about the bag though. If anything, we can ask him if he might want it, but Harrowhark's probably right that it might not be sentimental to him.
Please go ahead, Sheila. And just in case anyone does decide to act, I hope all of you have made arrangements for tonight. It would be a shame if we survived that 'adventure' only to be killed here.

Well, we felt like we were being tested before, right. This whole place could be some sort of test in general for... something.

Good work, Sasazuka. [ she's much less effusive, but still, he did good. ] I trust you to recognize a good moment to use it.
[ ... ]
They can have it, if they like. I do not know if it will bring them more comfort or pain.

Harrowhark. Takeru. I can't help but to notice you're saying things to each other in a way that's meant to be hurtful.
[She takes back her praise. Cease.]
I guess there's no harm in asking? I'll text him tomorrow if everything's kosher. Or on Sunday if someone decides to be a shitty fucking douchebag.
