We've just lost four of our number. Do you truly think we need to lose up to four more, especially if we happened to get any wrong?
[that comes out a little more stern, but he exhales a breath before continuing, tone losing some of its edge. he's not here to lecture taka (too much).]
It is not that we can only catch one. It is that only one will be chosen. We're perfectly capable of finding more in this process, and handling them in other ways.
We'll see. We were mostly lucky that week. Half of the reason people started suspecting Itachi was because of something that had nothing to do with the murder.

[ his being red strung to julius. ]

[a sigh, and-]
For now, we can only hope that it goes better than we expect. Perhaps having been through the process once will help.

Have you spoken to Cunning yet?

no subject
[ there's another pause. ]
He's looking for someone to spar with. Swords.
no subject
[ishi hums thoughtfully, considering.]
I may be able to assist, in that case. Do you happen to know what works well for reaching out to him?
[he could, maybe, use something like that on a day like today, and would also like to not start that off by managing to offend a god.]
no subject
... his personality seems kind of sophisticated, mostly.
no subject
[it's nighttime and now i have to go THINK ON THIS why did nobody talk me out of playing someone who puts a lot of thought into these.]
If I may ask, what else do you make of him?
no subject
[ he shrugs. ]
But from what I've noticed, they seem to just like it when people visit them. It's good to do favors for them, when they're not...
[ murderous. ]
no subject
[they seem to be trying? some of them are trying.]
no subject
I didn't have any issue with any of them though. [ and taka is a rude fuck, so that says a lot ] So you probably won't have a problem.
no subject
[if he can work with certain other swords, he can handle them.]
Have you met many, then, or is that something you're working on?
no subject
[ he is
getting to it ]
no subject
[good job, taka.]
If you need to know anything about ones you haven't spoken with, I may be able to help, if they're ones I've met.
no subject
Did you speak to Patience privately?
no subject
[a thoughtful hum, there.]
Though I suppose I should have. Her position in this is interesting.
no subject
[ it was just a bit difficult to ask for a chat after he insulted her and got her mad at trial ]
Apparently when the gods came up with this idea, half of them were against it and the other half were for it. She broke the tie.
no subject
[which... hm.]
I would have liked to get a better idea of her intentions in doing so.
no subject
It'd be super annoying if she ended up being some sort of wildcard in this.
no subject
I'll find out what they think, although it may be a while-- there are other things I'd like to discuss with them first.
[this is something they have time to think about, hopefully.]
no subject
[ he's already made two requests, so he does not mind a wait period. ]
I'll see what I can dig up.
