You think it'll happen the exact same way a second time? [ hellish. ]

[touchups]

Definitely the locking-us-up part, at least. Right? Otherwise, wouldn't we all just be running around while someone's getting murdered? Oh - but I guess we fell asleep, too...

[WHY LOCK THEM IN, THEN. HE SEES A FLAW HERE HANG ON.]

[alteracion]

We were forced asleep by that weird... cat video trick. So why bother with the locking us up part?

[ EXACTLY DEAR FLEA ]

[touchups]

[SHERLOCKIN' IT UP.]

Maybe extra assurance? Or to keep us from just being scattered all to hell? I mean, the locked doors didn't stop the killer and Tamaki from running all over the place, so maybe they unlock as soon as we're asleep.

[alteracion]

That's even weirder, though. We already were scattered last week. Why bother locking us for an hour only to put us to sleep and let whoever else roam around freely?

[touchups]

You think if we ask one of the avatars about it, we'll actually get a straight answer?

[SEEMS UNLIKELY.]

[alteracion]

No.

[ not even a little bit. ]

[touchups]

[JUST, BIG SIGH.]

Ugh... Nothing's ever straightforward, huh?

[alteracion]

Of course not. That would be fun.

[touchups]

You know, Greed even said this would be straightforward! Not like I believed them entirely, but it's like, why bother pretending?

[HE JUST WANTS ONE STRAIGHTFORWARD THING IN LIFE.]

[alteracion]

So we'd play along? I don't know, we're stuck here anyway.

[ they have no choice but to go along you don't need to pretend things aren't stupid!!!! they are very much so grace hates skulls ]

[touchups]

[THEY ARE BOTH TIRED AND JUST WANT TO HAVE A STRAIGHTFORWARD CHAOTIC GOOD TIME.]

Maybe this is straightforward in their eyes, still? I mean, they seem kinda weird.

[alteracion]

[ JUST LET THEM HAVE FUN AND STOP HAVING HORRID SHIT THAT'S ALSO PUZZLES, GOD ]

They seem a lot weird, but I guess it could be worse.

[ they could be with despair ]

[touchups]

Yeah, we could be with Despair.

[He's just thinking the brackets. DESPAIR SEEMS LIKE A BAD TIME, HONESTLY.]

Greed's pretty fun to tease, at least!

[alteracion]

Right? Despair seems like such a drag.

[touchups]

Yeah! I heard part of indulging in it is actually, like... thinking about the reason behind why you're feeling something?

[Who the heck indulges by using their braincells and self-examining????]

[alteracion]

Since when is having emotions indulging?

[ what is self-examining? i dont know her ]

[touchups]

[RAISING HIS HANDS...]

Some emotions are pretty indulgent! But thinking about them is weird.

[None braincell.]

[alteracion]

I guess if you're sitting around thinking about how you're sad all the time, that's a despair thing...

[touchups]

[Sad eyes of pity.]

If that's someone's idea of indulgence, at least they'd have plenty to think about. Their entire life must be sad.

[THEM JUST ROASTING THE SHIT OUT OF THE BIGGEST TEAM HERE.]

[alteracion]

You've heard what their indulgences are like, right? Of course their lives are sad.

[touchups]

Only vaguely! Just, like, the whole "feel your feelings" thing. Why, do they have more specific examples?

[Lay the gossip on him he's here to laugh.]

[alteracion]

There's "give up and don't bother doing anything because there's no point", apparently.

[touchups]

[IMMEDIATELY BURSTING INTO A SHARP BARK OF HYENA LAUGHTER.]

What—?! Wow! Wait, no way, seriously? That's so sad...!

[alteracion]

Right? Indulge by doing nothing and feeling sad about it? I mean, I guess it's easy, but it's so boring...
