Look. I'm not just throwing out tasks for fun. No matter how anyone wants to look at me, I am in this game to win it. I had a feeling you were going to defect after a week so, no matter who you sent my way, I would've ended up at the same follower count as where I started. Let's set the record straight, here.
[He spins one of the plates.]
It's my fault for making your task "get me a follower" and not "get my follower count up to three". I'll take that. Everyone here loves exploiting a good loophole. But, really, let's not pretend that Sasuke would have so much as done a single thing to cooperate with me for the one week he would have stayed. It would've just been to get you your item, and then he'd wash his hands of it. A good strategy for you, for him, but not for me. So I'm not mad. I'm frustrated, but you're a smart kid and a damn good player and so the deal's still on the table.
Yeah, this late in the game, I'm not expecting it. My new strategy is a work in progress, so let's just say, in the spirit of good sportsmanship: that second item's on hold until you recruit someone else for me, but I'll still take different, non-alliance-requiring tasks for smaller-tier items.

WEEK 5
[Indulgence is slicing Ray's cake in the kitchen, stepping lightly from foot to foot as he puts pieces on plates.]
Can you even be sorry when you don't think you did anything wrong in the first place?
no subject
But if you knew that, then why even accept the offering?

[He slides a plate toward Ray.]
Here. Have a big bite of your fake apology cake.
no subject
[indulgence could've poisoned the cake or something? smh.]

[He collapses back into a stool.]
You know it's not like I'm suddenly going to stop making items for you in exchange for tasks.
no subject
... And where is this coming from?

I'm not likely to join you again unless you're winning, if that's what you're asking for.

Awfully generous of you...
no subject
It's business. But yeah, I am generous, too.

How much would some kind of healing item cost?
