[ She has already decided she's the fave regardless. ]
I do wonder about that. This whole this is set up to make and break bonds after all. [ It's weird but then again so is the moon falling on the city and then being back in the sky ]
I did have a feeling you would. I'm assuming it'll be you or our sword who will be doing it considering our princess wouldn't be able to.
[ There is no teasing in their tone despite the nickname. She knows how soft Axel is ]
It is something he's used to doing as a sword, dearest. [ A pause ] I doubt he would try to cover up. He might let everyone know in order to keep someone else from taking the fall. [ He also would want people to know ]
That is probably for the best that he doesn't know.
The likelihood is that we will have several bodies next week. Barring that there are now two cases I've not quite managed to figure out - [ this is a sticking point and he's going to be annoyed about it until he DIES ] we still have at least three that need to act.
Fox, Phoenix, Rabbit. [ counting on his fingers. ] Because of that, he doesn't have to be the one to be voted for. Though... you may be right. He may prefer it that way.
We will, and it won't be easy considering the connections you have all made. [ It's going to be so rough for the other leads as well, but she won't bring that up. ] Do you have a target in mind or are you keeping it a secret?
[ They do sigh. ] I could always order him not to, but that would hardly be fair to him. If he wants to admit it for all to see, then he can do as he pleases.
I don't think it is my place to tell, but we've talked about it. It will be more likely that Kogitsunemaru is the one to perform the act. If you want to know, you ought to ask him.
[ temenos is just going to help. swords, indeed.
for the other case... he wrinkles his nose. the comedy is that i know ICly now who killed reigen but we'll pretend this case was first. ] Satan's. The same one I've been mulling over for weeks, frustratingly enough.
Ah. How refreshing. [ usually its temenos in trouble, and he sounds a little more amused, now finally pouring his wine into his glass. ] What did he do?
[ and for the second bit: ] I have, yes. Initially, I had thought it had to do with completion of tasks - this week, I've not completed all of mine, so we will see.
[ at least rabbit's celibacy is also protected now by dw eating entire entries
there's a brief, slight smile from over his cup. ]
Aha. I see... Well, it sounds like you've meted out punishment accordingly. I certainly would.
[ from kiss thieves. he won't make too many jokes about that right now, though - the entire trial is still too fresh, and thinking about ace makes him exhausted, makes the despair that's always tugging somewhere at the mask he wears feel suddenly far closer to the surface.
he brushes past it, though, setting his wine down. ]
I suppose I'll look into it... though, to be honest, the tokens have been less of a concern for me than others, for reasons that are fairly obvious. [ im loaded ] I've more than I can spend them on.
[ their celibacy... she hasn't even kiss their dead boyfriend and kogi decided it was okay to do so. so rude ]
It might be fun to punish him a bit further. Perhaps I could tell him I found a better sword? [ Make him whine a little.
She does notice he seems a bit more tired, so she will put her arm around him for a moment. Maybe she just really wanted to stretch her arm or get more cozy. ]
You do have quite the useful little ability. While I don't fault your other rabbits for not swapping, it would have been fun if they did. Imagine all you could buy? [ She might want to play with wonder balls :< ] I think our troublesome sword has been hoarding quite a bit, but I can't be sure.
Don't break his heart before he can complete his duties.
[ but he supports bullying. generally. wang wu deserves to bully! good for her.
as for the tokens... he props his chin in his hand and frowns. ]
I thought about buying a Second Wind to double the numbers even more, but ultimately, I've no real need for the purchases. I believe I was quite lucky to get Castti's concoction - and I don't mind mischief, but I've not had any curses I particularly want to utilize short of the ones I already have.
It does keep us healed, though. Small mercies, when one cannot do so magically.
[ he gives her a bit of a look at the first part that is very much "ok.jpg".
as for the curses... ]
Unfortunately for you, I do not have that. [ but he does look at his phone. ] And should I really be indulging you in such things? You ought to be responsible.
[ Rabbit knows Spirit Swords and knows where they will want to return to in the end. Besides, they might not even recognize those kinds of feelings. Swords. She will let the topic drop though. ]
Is there anything wrong with indulging your cute little lamb? [ Batting her lashes and looking cute at him. ]
Oh, certainly. Though, they seem to think that motivation is theirs to decide, and not the shepherds...
[ naughty. ]
At any rate. I'd hoped perhaps my luck would be better with these, but such is not the case. I've only really received things that I'm not all that intent on using. Short of Hung's unfortunate hair removal, and the brief moment of Ace's childhood.
I could be convinced of other motivations. Maybe if you were to become my wife?
[ Pfft. ] Or give me something else good?
[ Shes like this i'm sorry ]
[ Covering her mouth at that as she points to him. ] I see you were the one responsible for those. I do greatly approve. Good job. [ Baby Ace was adorable from what they caught. What a stinky child. ]
What are the other ones that you have? Maybe someone else on your team could use it? You could also see about trading with someone.
Yes, well. I was curious to see what would happen, with the former. Yae turned out to be my partner in crime, which worked out well. A shorn sheep is still fairly cute, so it was perfectly fine - and Ace had told me not a few days before about what he was like as a child. I wanted to see it for myself when it fell into my lap.
[ his mischief streak is also like three miles wide. if he thinks fondly about ace right now and not about (gestures in the trial) things will be better, though he doesn't linger on it for too long as he sips his drink. ]
I've the one I was cursed with - the monologue one, and I don't want to inflict that on anyone. I've one that makes two people hate each other, which I'd rather not use unless it became necessary in a crisis. [ ie: if someone targeted him or something. ] Beyond that, everything I have is for emergency use only. Alas.
I do understanding wanting to see that. I would like to see all of my cute rabbits as kids. Could you imagine Axel? [ He would be precious. ] Alas. None of those sound that much fun. Maybe we should get Kogitsunemaru to buy something more fun? [ Make the Fox Sword spin his cash tokens ]
anyway. okay admittedly, that is kind of a cute thought? axel told him a story about him as a kid and it was very cute, so. maybe. ]
Perhaps. [ i sisi think the child curse is the best curse ever and everyone should get it but that's besides the point. ]
We'll have bigger problems to worry about in terms of purchases at the start of the new week. Depending on how many we earn, I suppose I can always take a spin with it again.
[ there's a look on temenos' face, very briefly, that spells trouble. just a bit of mischief. ]
That is a question.
[ :)
anyway. ]
Mm. Well, we must, if that paper is to be trusted. There is much to plan in the week ahead. [ to be honest, he doesn't. love it. it sits badly with temenos, but knowing at least that the dead appear to be... somewhere helps. ]
We are marching slowly towards the end of all of this.

[ looks into the camera like this is the office. he has so little faith in kogi. ]
So, if it is not me, I intend to help at the least. [ please. ] …Axel doesn’t know, and I intend to keep it that way. He doesn’t need to find out.

Does it matter? [ SWORDS. They ponder it for a moment before they take a drink. ] He's been taking quite a few liberties as of late.
It may be linked to more than just tasks. I heard of one team getting only one token last week.

I do wonder if it would work on the Leaders? Snake or Bird as a child would be cute. [ There others are already kids to Rabbit so ]
That is true. [ Back to being serious. ] Especially if you do plan to move. It would do well to stock up on things.

That is a question.

As long as you don't bald the bird, I won't have any issues.
