The person who killed Fortune... I want to find out who it is. [Sasuke has really never had to talk to many kids... He's only had peers or adults, so this is... different. But he doesn't want to talk to Sean as if Sean is a dumb child.] So I can stop them from doing it to Ruin.
I... [WOW, this is hard to say!!! But Sean will understand maybe.] I want to help Senri. And Yu. They want you all to live so we can find a peaceful way to end the game.
But they won't be able to do that unless someone stops the person trying to destroy the gods with no followers. Even if she's protected... It won't stop them from trying again.
[Sean listens very carefully as Sasuke talks. His expression, of course, never changes, but he still somehow manages to get across the air that he's taking it all in.]
You're right. They won't stop. People like that never stop until they get what they want, and what they want is usually never enough.
[So it keeps going, a perpetuating cycle. It's the kind of thing he doesn't want for his world, once it's a reality.]
I'd like to help...but I'm not sure how would be best. Did you have any ideas?
I'm not with Merriment anymore. I need a way to stay awake when everyone else is asleep. So I can try to find them and stop them.
Everything else, I can do on my own. [His smile is weak, but trying.] You're already helping me in another way, too. I'll see whether or not they're lying.
The...the only way that I can ensure that you're able to stay awake is if you can convince someone to join me. I wouldn't ask if there was anything else I'm allowed to ask for as a favor.
[ :( ]
Even if it's just for that one week, you'd be curfew free for that week. Unfortunately, since it's already Monday, that means there's nothing I can do until next time.
I'll be okay. [Reaching up, he very gently thumps two fingers against Sean's helmet.] Even if it doesn't work, don't give up. You have the headband, remember? Ninja wear it to show allegiance to their villages. The place... they call home.
And ninja endure whatever they must to keep protecting their village. No matter what happens, you'll have to endure.

[Making Sasuke happy is...of utmost importance.]

They expire each week, don't they? Annoying.
no subject
[Sean, the one who oversees the rules, didn't even make, like, any of them probably.]
Because he's already defected, there's nothing I can do about him now. He'd have to come back again.

Don't worry about it. I'll think of something. If not, I'll try again next week. We'll have to hope someone will protect Ruin until then.
no subject
[It was the first idea he thought of...]
no subject
It isn't a bad idea. They have to summon Ruin to get her out to be killed... Are you forbidden from barricading the altar room?
no subject
[Probably, but that doesn't seem to kill his excitement.]
I'll try it on Thursday! We'll see what happens!
no subject
Alright. ["my intentions are good i'm trying aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"] If you can, try it. [A pause.]
Thanks.

Of course! Ask me for anything whenever you need and I'll do my very best.
