I feel it is reasonable enough to be concerned if one that someone is working with hides something-- but I am certain they have reasons.

[he hums to himself as he watches senri get everything hooked up-]

And it has now been sorted out, so may I suggest you take any further frustrations out on each other within the game?

[mario is about to get so fucking real]

[ he's just frowning. please. let's move on. he is done with this topic. ]

... anyway, Ray, what were you saying about Love?

[ray is also done with this topic, thanks.]

If they ask about powers used, she'll have to be honest, but otherwise, she can lie by omission and try to steer any suspicion away from Merriment's followers. The rule only specifies that gods can't make it obvious who's guilty; there shouldn't be any forbidding hinting at who they think is innocent, even if it's a lie.

Of course, she'd rather we just stay off the suspect list altogether. Still, she understands what we might have to do.

[and she'd do anything for ray tbh,]

[briefly, to Sasuke:]

It's different.

[but he won't linger if everyone else is moving on.]

..... guess Indulgence doesn't like any of us enough to give the same treatment, huh.

[Sasuke just makes a face.]

If Indulgence and Love don't agree with what they say, people will know one of them is lying. And I'm sure there are some who will think it's Love. They'll know she's covering for someone.

Well, one of them generally handles more of the questions, don't they? So long as the one doing so is Love, they may not bother asking the exact same questions of Indulgence.

[a hum, and-]

I believe most would probably prefer to speak with Love, in the first place.

[considering indulgence's.... Everything.]

... it might be Indulgence then. He has less followers than she does, so making him handle the questions would mean more people will have a chance to talk to him. That's the whole point in the host weeks anyway.

[ he frowns, folding his arms over his chest. ]

But we won't know for sure until it's Saturday.

Guess we'll see, yeah.

[he looks at senri and sasuke.]

Decided where you're staying yet?

Cheri's. [he's not even going to fucking check in with sasuke] We've all hung out together before, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Where are you all going? There's no obvious target on a god this time, so...

[??????????? ok buttholes, he isn't told about the jar, he isn't told why senri was so assblasted monday, and he isn't asked or told about staying at sincerity's!!!! GOD

He just gives Senri a flat look. Thankfully, he doesn't have as much of an aversion to Sincerity as he does Indulgence.]

That doesn't mean they shouldn't be cautious. There's still one person we didn't catch.

[ishi looks a little bit like he wants to die at the mention of sincerity's room but like. that's fine. he quickly focuses on the question instead.]

We're splitting ourselves between the west wing and the temple, and should hopefully be able to communicate with each other should anything happen-- that has all been worked out. You shouldn't need to worry about us too much.

And we're better equipped this time too.

... going by past experience, I think the chances of us actually being able to interfere with a murder again are a lot less than I was doing before. Since we're not going to be straight up following someone we know is highly likely to be targeted.

[is senri done setting up the switch yet]

If we can at least catch sight of anyone wandering around at night, that'll have to be enough.

We'll be careful.

[he's handing out controllers, be patient damn - ]

I can play with Ishirin-san...!

[so he can hold one end of the controller and senri holds the other but also]

... well, it's not like we have any choice but to trust you all, right? We used Cheri's armor power on Taka and Ishirin-san, so you'll at least have that too.

I wonder if whoever hurt Bart-kun will do it again...

[Sasuke just looks... irritable, but that isn't anything new. He takes the control and glares at it even if the glare isn't meant for the poor gaming accessory.]

Nevermind that. What do we do about the bigger issue? We're going to win.

We're almost at the end of the game. It feels like we aren't any closer to getting them to reconcile and agree to work together. How many others are actually talking to more than just two gods?
