You're the one that said you can't learn much, and it's not something to do with the demon. You're working with Chuuya, but all I know about him is that Nathan says he's a dick, so that doesn't help me. But, Beck told me she's only talked to Carlos, so if you're all sorted into little teams... Nikkari's likely with Nathan based on what he can do, and Polly's probably heading up the ones who can learn shit about demons...
So, you're with Junpei, given he's the one that got your attention. It's got something to do with people and information, and you're not sold on how useful it is, meaning it's a crapshoot, likely in that you've got to pick, what, one person to use it on?
[She pauses to chew on her lip. There's got to be a hole in that list he gave her. What the hell else would be useful, but not that useful?]
Past two times I could only see who people talked to. This week, turns out if you . . .
[He scowls, and it's genuinely uncomfortable.]
Anyway. First week I asked for Dick Greyson. Second week it was Edelgard. This week I asked about Higekiri, who slept and talked with a lot of people.
[He passes her a piece of paper, because like fuck is he remembering all this. SPOKE WITH: Shiraishi, Grune, Junpei, Zero, Beck, Taako, Hizamaru and Dick, Hizamaru and Junpei, Tamamo, Kagachi, Wei Wuxian-- and then Hizamaru and he talked to Chuuya, he talked to Chuuya himself, and Carlos too.
He slept with Kagachi, Grune, Beck, Taako, Chuuya, Dimitri, Shiraishi, Tamamo, Illumi, Hizamaru, Dimitri and Hizamaru, Chuuya and Hizamaru, Illumi and Hizamaru, and Wei Wuxian.
Gross.]
We also know that Muzet isn't host this week, and Zero bought a scythe recently.
[She notes the discomfort and her mouth tightens briefly, but she won't ask about it. That's not a reaction she's seen out of him before, which means it's something serious. So. Moving onto this fucking list good lord.]
Jesus. And I thought I'd been busy.
[Wait.]
Hizamaru? Are you shitting me? Eugh.
[That creeps her right the fuck out, so, moving on in a hurry. She passes the paper back.]
Are there any other roles out there you guys haven't found yet?
It's a game, Katy. Just a game. And it's more interesting to see who can figure out what and when than to give us all the facts-- hell, you might as well not even play at that point.
A game for who? And who gives a shit? This isn't the Hunger Games, Haymitch. It's just a bunch of us literally in the same boat with a demon on board. Seems to me we ought to be making our own rules.
[Ooh, that comes out as a growl, low and intent, as he leans in closer.]
Listen to me. It's us on a boat, sure, but there are rules, and shit happens if you don't obey. Bitemarks and bruises? They broke the rules a little. You know what happens when you break the rules a lot? People die, Katy. Believe me when I say I know that, all right?
[They've been doing this for weeks now; there's no way he's not responsible for her. Sure, she'd made him promise that he oughtn't think that way, but who the hell were they kidding?]
Look, I'm not saying we can't collaborate with them on some shit, but you really think they won't turn on you? They did already, remember?
[She gives him a look, the kind of look she'd give Wayne for going too far trying to protect her.]
No, they didn't. Monika was possessed, and she didn't convince anybody. Besides, that was the first week we had to deal with this demon shit. We know better now.

How much do you know about the demon? Demons. Whatever.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-30 02:49 pm (UTC)[God, but he wishes he did. He takes a seat next to her, leaning back against the arm of the couch.]
They don't tell us shit unless we sleep with them for it, and even then, it isn't much.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-30 09:30 pm (UTC)What's the fucking point, then? Can you learn shit that'll actually help us?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 05:56 am (UTC)You gonna actually listen, or you gonna keep acting like a brat?
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 06:24 am (UTC)I'm listening. It's an honest question.

You can tell who someone's slept with each week.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 06:26 am (UTC)Yeah. That's not the only only thing, though. So keep going.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 06:45 am (UTC)She squints at him like that'll help. The view is nice, though.]
...You can tell who someone's hung around with each week.
[She's bristling with confidence over this guess (she's not, that kind of just sounds like existing in public while having eyes).]

no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 07:41 am (UTC)What's the point of keeping this shit behind closed doors? We'd have an easier time of finding the demon if we were all on the same page.
no subject
Date: 2019-10-31 10:36 pm (UTC)It's a game, Katy. Just a game. And it's more interesting to see who can figure out what and when than to give us all the facts-- hell, you might as well not even play at that point.

Date: 2019-11-01 03:08 am (UTC)I got it, okay?
[She... thinks she does, anyway. What's not to get? There are stakes here. That's been made clear ample times.]
But what's to stop us from trusting each other with this info? Why are you dragging me off like this is some big secret?

Look. I won't sell them out. But I'm also gonna prioritize the two of us.
no subject
Date: 2019-11-04 04:53 am (UTC)...Fine. Any other dramatic reveals I ought to know about?
[Because if not, quick thing.]
no subject
Date: 2019-11-04 05:17 am (UTC)Nah. But I'd appreciate it if we went and did something pointless. I could use the distraction.
