No. It was like... How'd the riddle go?

[She has to pause for a moment to remember just what was said, and after a few seconds:]

Facing a trial of limited time, seeking culprits of multiple crimes, finding out things aren't like they seem, and... Inspecting members of our own team.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

Our own - so you think... that means someone from Cunning did something?

[requiemed]

I don't know. Ray and Connor were there with me, too. Or it could mean team in a different way than faction. When I went to talk to Cunning afterwards, he said that the person we talked to was called the Oracle, and even though what they say is always true, it can have multiple meanings and isn't always obvious right away.

[usogi]

The Oracle....?

[what the actual fuck,,]

Why is that guy and his entire wing so weird?

[requiemed]

[She crosses her arms, nodding.]

It was so fucking creepy, seriously. That was not even the weirdest part of the whole experience. I am never going in a locked house again.

[usogi]

You should go to Beauty's room. He has a dog.

I might try to find Cheri's soon if I get permission - I dunno if I'll find anything useful, but they're pretty nice.

[???]

You... really need a break, Zo.

[requiemed]

I'll take a break when all of this is over.

[A beat.]

...Yeah, okay, Sincerity's room is probably a safer bet. Let me know if you do plan on trying, okay?

[usogi]

Sure, we can go exploring next week.

[and he just huffs]

But that was pretty brave of you to go along to Cunning's.... I'm suuuuper impressed. You're way tougher than I am.

[requiemed]

I mean, I was pretty much terrified from the first room onwards. We kind of had to fight a minotaur?

[Oh.]

So you probably would've done just as well as I did.

[usogi]

You what?!

Are you okay? Did you get hurt? I'm sure Ray-kun took care of it if you did but...!

[GIANT WORRY]

[requiemed]

Oh, no, it didn’t hurt any of us. Ray shot it and I lit it on fire.

[Is that something like pride in her voice? Definitely.]

[usogi]

[ . . . . oh my god.

the surprise eases off his face and he just ends up laughing again, shaking his head]

How are you so cool?

[requiemed]

I know, right?!

[It’s a little more enthusiastic than she intends it, and she brushes a strand of hair behind her ear just a moment afterwards, self conscious.]

I mean... Ray was the cool one. You should have seen him.

[usogi]

Ray-kun is a force of nature - but then again, it seems like you are too.

[look he can be really proud and happy for them both??]

That's awesome, Zo. You really know how to handle yourself.

[requiemed]

...Thanks.

[She's

blushing a little.]

I could say the same thing about you, you know.

[usogi]

I haven't fought a minotaur!

[she's so funny,,]

But what you've found out is great - I'm sure it'll help us get somewhere.

[requiemed]

Yeah, but you could have.

[or he could lose an eye, hm!!]

I hope so. I found something else, too, but... I'm not sure if it'll be as useful.

[usogi]

[he tilts his head??]

Hm? What is it?

[requiemed]

It's a scarf... Cunning said it works the same way as the Cupid's Arrow ability.

[usogi]

[ . . . . senri just buries his face in his hands]

I mean, that sounds fun and all but - really....?

[requiemed]

I didn't know what it was when I grabbed it.

[Ugh.]

[usogi]

.... well, you could always give it to someone that's hard to talk to and see if they'll confess their alignment in exchange for your undying love.

[hm??]

But that feels pretty mean.

[requiemed]

I'm... kind of surprised that was your first thought.

[Senri??]

[usogi]

I'm getting really desperate for the other half of alignments I don't know. I wouldn't do that - because it's way too messy to deal with the fallout - but!

Ray-kun would probably do something like that.

[requiemed]

I'm not giving a magic romance scarf to a 12 year old.
