[ . . . softly, to sasuke:] We have to get the blood off. Please endure it just a little bit - I'm going to do my best so I don't hurt you.
[more than he's already going to be hurt anyway. but he tries again, with less pressure this time, if only just to try to wipe the blood off sasuke's face.]
... what Taka said. He's going to try to make us another thing for trial - I asked for something to uncurse someone, after Wednesday. We could use it. Apparently he's got another item that'll tell us if a god was aware of someone going to kill. [ . . . ] Depending on what you told Merriment, we may or may not want to ask for it. Or I can conveniently forget.
... or maybe he will. That guy makes stupid decisions when he's upset. I'd steer clear, personally. He should be banned from the offering bowl when he gets like that.
[His face bunches when the towel comes down again which also doesn't help, but whatever. He endures the damn towel even if it feels like sandpaper scraping his face away every time Senri wipes.
Once every couple of passes, he has to jerk his head away and let his face rest before turning it carefully back.]
Stop. He was... cursed... Ah! [DON'T TAKE YU ANGER OUT ON HIS FACE.] And... desperate. He thought he could... bargain for... the best outcome.
...two of them were aware, I think. I told Merriment I was considering it, but I don't believe I ever confirmed that with him... Cunning and Indulgence are the ones we made agreements with in exchange.
And I understand leaving the decision to us, but Uchiha-kun seems averse to taking both and I cannot see if he is being unreasonable about it.
[so please help a dad who can't see shit, thanks!
he glances between sasuke and senri there, though.]
Sasuke still has scars - I'd have him drink it. No offense Ishirin-san, but he's the one who looks the most suspicious. That's... well, that's what I think. We'll just have to avoid the subject if Yu-kun asks... or we can just refill the bottles with similar liquid with food coloring.
[senri sure is a bitch]
I don't feel bad about tricking him when he tried to make Bambi feel bad for something she can't even do. [HE'S STILL GENTLE WITH WIPING THE BLOOD OFF SASUKE BUT when he pulls the towel off to get more water, he does spare him a glare.] Yu-kun tried to bargain for something that wasn't even possible. Grant the wishes of everyone, living and dead, when no god has that power. I asked Cheri what the options are, and the thing is that it's not an exact science. But they don't have enough power to grant every wish, and things could go bad if they tried.
So he nearly doomed the world after we leave it, and even though Bambi was trying to be sensible about it, he still made her feel awful for not being able to help. She cried, Ishirin-san. It's part of what's making her feel awful and reject audiences this week.
After that he was thinking of joining Merriment, even though it meant that he would've suffered a curse from Indulgence because he put off getting him a follower for weeks. You know what the last Indulgence curse was? Jude-kun's clumsiness. Can you imagine? If he tried to go with you on patrol while he was cursed?
[HE'S JUST GETTING MORE AND MORE VICIOUS THE MORE THEY LET HIM TALK]
I would've tied him up and gagged him myself at 9:55.
Anyway.
Sasuke, drink the stupid potion or I'll be mad at you until the game's over.
[Sasuke isn't angry because he spent a majority of the time calling Yu stupid during the whole ordeal anyway. But he gets... the intentions. He gets doing something stupid for a good reason and fucking up the execution. God, does he get it.
But he also has his own personal beef with Ambition, and he won't baby her. So Senri just gets an exhausted, disgruntled glare.]
He didn't... know that. I'm not going to baby... Ambition when she's handing out gifts... to people who are stupid enough to kill for her. And that... she made the price of hints... about Ray's killer so steep when the rest of you... got hints from other gods without even--
[MMPH. FINE.
He takes the stupid potion to drink it, hating the bitter taste it leaves on top of the awful residue of kerosene. In the end, it at least does the job. The scratch over his eye is gone, as is the one on his stomach, the bruise... but, unfortunately, so is the one on his shoulder and one on his side from a week or so ago.]
