...Ah. Yes.

[A sheepish sort of smile?]

Mmmm. I would be lying if I said I didn't mind that...but I can see how that seemingly limits one's options when so many want that...

[alteracion]

Sure, that. [ she doesn't seem to find it that limiting, but: ] Also, the sins totally know when it happens, and that's weird.

[commedia]

...Pardon? They do?

[VOYEURISM??????????]

[alteracion]

Wrath told me the exact number of people who have so far.

[ which they knew

while being stuck in an elevator ]

[commedia]

...

[wow]

And how many is that?

[alteracion]

Eight.

[ she is looking at them like she thinks they are one of the eight ]

[commedia]

[.....................haha! Hm.]

[Just glancing away.]

I see...those people really have quite the abilities, huh?

[alteracion]

Voyeuristic ones, sure.

[commedia]

And abilities to...set things on fire and grow eyes all over one's body.

[A wide mixture, for sure.]

I wonder why they have abilities and we don't?

[alteracion]

[ there's a pause before she shrugs ]

Maybe it has something to do with this place? They are more connected to it.

[commedia]

The place? You think the place itself gives them power?

[alteracion]

Maybe. They didn't seem too used to the ones they had.

[commedia]

Haha, they didn't, did they? Like setting fire to an elevator...

What's so special about them, though? Are they really Avatars of their respective sins?

[alteracion]

They said they were better at the indulgence thing, so maybe? Not that that really tells us anything.

[commedia]

Maybe they just...indulged a lot? Not that can be quantified...

[alteracion]

It probably can be. They're doing it now, aren't they?

[commedia]

You think they're indulging...based on what they do with us? An interesting thought. Would that suggest they're competing against us, or we have to get to their level?

[alteracion]

Oh. Uh. Well, maybe? But I meant that they're quantifying our own indulgence. So that means it's quantifiable. I don't think they're competing against us, but they're definitely getting something out of it.

[commedia]

Do you want to find out what that is, or leave them well enough alone? Does it bother you?

[alteracion]

It doesn't bother me. [ this feels important to note and she shrugs, loose ] But of course I want to find out. Aren't you curious?

[commedia]

...

[And then their smile twists up to the side.]

Of course. But one has to be subtle, under such watchful eyes.

[alteracion]

Obviously. [ she's got an answering, similar smile? ] There's no point getting caught before getting a chance to learn anything.

[commedia]

Uhuhuhu. You understand. And if one is caught, then information slips through the fingers, like sand. Its better to capture it when people least suspect it.

[alteracion]

So... playing dumb, then?

[commedia]

If one must! It is a simple and effective approach, isn't it?
