[a questionable child, a dragon doormat, a protag with a growing harem, a shitlord musician, and a team normal walk into a bar (game room) (on sunday morning)...

aka just tag/top-level/threadjack as you like, there are five of us so what is order]

Right. Knowing we'll have a guaranteed use of the power we can count on is a relief, especially with Ruin's killer still a mystery.

[ Yu will fold his arms over his chest, thoughtful. ]

Hopelessly Devoted will be harder to find a practical use for. It may work to force a confession from a likely suspect, or someone who's withholding information to reveal what they know. But we'll have to figure out who to choose and what idea to obsess them with during the trial, without tipping off the others, unless we come up with a plan today.

[symphonise]

Do we want something like a secret code? [ She's mostly joking, and she sounds it. ] It'd be circumstantial, wouldn't it? Unless any of us has a good hunch right now.

[covenantal]

It may not be the worst idea.

[ he says it with a completely straight face. is he joking? does he mean it? who knows!

But he'll end up nodding. ]

I was wondering if you all might have a hunch, or any leads.

[symphonise]

[ She deliberates for a few moments. ]

I don't have that many leads, but if by some miracle, we end up figuring out more than one case tomorrow, I do have a key to one of the dungeon cells.

[ It's kind of awkward admitting that, but she's putting it out there. ]

[selfimmolates]

... What'd you do for Ruin to get one?

[symphonise]

She gave it to me for free.

[ A beat. ]

But if I wanted to keep it after this week, I had to lock someone up at curfew.

[selfimmolates]

Makes sense. Ruin's specialty is being able to reward people first, task later.

[but now she's deda]

[symphonise]

[ yeah, so now she gets to keep the key no matter what. yay? or awk? ]

Are you speaking from experience?

[selfimmolates]

Nope. I just asked about the gods' specialties a while back.

[symphonise]

You really do work hard.

[covenantal]

You know all of them? [ curiously ]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah.

Ambition gives hints. Disorder's good at bending the rules. Justice can amend them or give pardons for breaking them. Cunning's is breaking and entering. Love's is undoing curses. Merriment can tell you how a course of action might go. Beauty can keep an incident or discussion a secret. Indulgence creates items more easily. Sincerity will always be honest about whether or not he knows something. And, Piety can see into the nature of others.

[covenantal]

[ Damn, Ray, go off. Yu is nodding along slowly. ]

I see... a few of those are definitely new to me. [ ... after a beat of thought: ] We're very lucky we have you, Ray-san.

[selfimmolates]

[can you all stop complimenting him, it's weird??

he shrugs.]

Just doing what it takes to win.

Let us know if you need anything.
