[.....................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?

[alteracion]

It might not work on your own Avatar, though. Going by what they were telling people who had their symbol, they picked them out on purpose.

[commedia]

Ah, but there are seven other Avatars to work with, yes? And surely one can gain the trust of one's own Avatar. Though it does depend on the Avatar...

[alteracion]

I somehow feel like I won't have much luck getting greed to share, but maybe the others will be more willing.

[commedia]

I believe greed is not as hard as you think. You could offer information for information. Greed will want more, and provide more for it. All one needs to do is think of how to appeal to each sin.

[alteracion]

That's not a bad plan. Is that what you're planning to do, then?

[commedia]

Its one option. I just have to see what sort of person Greed really is.
