Not everyone's. Only if it's immediately relevant, like with figuring out Ambition's followers.

Otherwise, for our purposes, we really only need to know who's not with Love, and with Lightning dead... well, we've already got that down.

I told you because I trust you. I just don't want it to go too far. The more people know, the more they can be cursed to let it all slip at once. [it's something that he's been pretty nervous about?] As long as all the Sinceritys know me and won't use Word Vomit, and Beauty protects me from Eye of the Beholder, I think we can avoid it but...

[he still has a conscience, and having the people who trust him get outed like that with no idea doesn't sit well with him]

Bambi was talking to me and I think she almost let a name slip - if you know anyone she might call 'La-' something.

That's the only lead I have though.

[selfimmolates]

It's also in my best interests not to talk about these things too much. After all, if anything gets leaked, I don't want it traced back to me either.

Other than Ludger's—who, for all I know, might not even be with Ambition anymore—I've only said that I know their alignment, but not what, and that was a few weeks ago anyway.

[he shakes his head.]

I don't talk much to Ambition.

[usogi]

You should. Bambi's really sweet, and I think she just likes talking to people. Sometimes she lets things slip, but try not to give her a hard time for it.

I'll let you know if there's anything else relevant....

[selfimmolates]

We don't really get along.

[usogi]

.... you got along with Indulgence but not Bambi?

[selfimmolates]

Setting that bridge on fire when I defected aside, Indulgence is easy.

[usogi]

You're the cause of his self-esteem problems. It's all you.

[selfimmolates]

I didn't know he was going to make a friggin' rule just to spite me!

... What'd he say to you?

[usogi]

Mostly that he's feeling really unwanted.

[senri pouts]

... he's really upset. You should apologize.

[selfimmolates]

Are you kidding? He might curse me or something.

[usogi]

Well it won't mean anything if I say sorry for you.

[selfimmolates]

I didn't even do anything wrong...

[usogi]

Knowing you, you probably buttered him up to see how many items he could conjure for you for free, and lied about how you'd stay with him or otherwise said misleading things to imply you would, and then suddenly ditched at the end of the week once you got what you needed.

[selfimmolates]

Indulgence is a moron. And for the record, it wasn't free. I did have to work for that trial item, thanks.

[usogi]

You just don't want to admit I'm right about the rest....

[selfimmolates]

I never lied.

[usogi]

[senri looks at his nails from where he's still resting against the doorframe]

Half-truths, omitting vital details, and sarcasm, then.

Are we here for anything else?

[selfimmolates]

Only an idiot wouldn't realize I was going to switch as soon as the week was up.

I'm good.

[It's fine because Ray says that, but there's the sound of footsteps echoing from the stage wing as a young girl enters her room and. Sort of just stares and raises an eyebrow. Ray's used to her, but she looks startled by Senri's appearance.]

Oh. You got in. [HELLO??]

[usogi]

[SENRI ALSO LOOKS STARTLED BY HER APPEARANCE - ]

Oh!

[HE FEELS SO BAD REALLY,]

Sorry for the intrusion - Ray-kun said we got permission but we were just about to get going...

[selfimmolates]

Your room is exactly as I expected it to be, for the record.

[divus]

[She just. Rolls her eyes at Ray and ruffles his hair because she's sure he'll hate that.] I already told you I'd be honest about stuff.

[i.e she had nothing to hide so she's sure Ray figured it out. To Senri though she smiles. ] I did tell him, but I'm more surprised you got the door open. It's nice to see you, Senri-kun.

[usogi]

[she's not mad.... okay he relaxes a little and smiles back]

Mm, it's nice to see you too, Lovely!

Ray-kun didn't make getting the door open easy on me - but the songs were fun!

[selfimmolates]

[at the reminder of the fucking door

do you feel ray's sheer contempt radiating from him, rise.]
