WEEK 1 CURFEW

[kokytos]

Mm, well. I suppose the answer is yeah, there's a lot. Even more mundanely, managing everyone's paychecks and hours and all that.

[ Purposefully talking about the more boring mundane shit. ]

You play any instruments yourself? [ Topic change! ]

[holeful]

[STEVEN....]

Omi's really talented, too...
[You are just both so great.]

[housewolf]

[Omi can pick up on the "I don't want to talk about it vibe" and he will very simply move right along.]

Ah. I don't know about that.

I learned drummin' for a show we did. I'm still just an amateur.

[kokytos]

Is this just going to be a boost each other's morale and feelings about each other power hour?

[ To the tune of clown music even. He nods, though. ]

More musical history than I have, at any rate.

... I guess they're expecting us to spend the night like this... though if it's like last time and more of a forced sleep, maybe it'll be fine.

[holeful]

[No. Only Steven and Omi's morale!!]

Yeah. How long was it last week? A few hours? I can't really remember that well.

[housewolf]

That's not very despair of us...

[A quick glance to Steven's hand tattoo.]

It seemed like an hour? It's hard to tell time around here.

[kokytos]

I watched the clock. They're not all that accurate across the building, but I'd say about an hour... which means, whenever the clock strikes midnight.

... Neither of you are despair anyway, it's not like it's going to be a detriment to you.

[holeful]

No, but maybe we want to help you indulge too, Steven. Like how Gojou did.

[housewolf]

I don't mind helpin' out.

[kokytos]

What do you mean like how Gojou did. He just convinced me to sleep in a bed and not in the Planetarium, that's all. [ DONT CALL IT INDULGING. ]

May I remind you that I'm in Despair, helping someone indulge in this nonsense sounds like nothing short of an awful idea.

[holeful]

[Hmmmmm]

So we have to try to make you sad?
[Is he listening to Steven at all?]

[housewolf]

... Does that count? Sleepin' in a bed.

Indulging in envy's a hell of a time.

[kokytos]

Let's not make me sad, I'll do it in my own time. [ DESPAIR SUCKS

As for Omi's quip... he just looks over at him and shrugs. ] I had a bad Monday. He just convinced me to take my exhaustion to somewhere nicer was all. [ Fukuda maybe saw him that day, he looked a right mess. ]

What do you even do for Envy? I have assumptions, but what have you actually done so far?

[holeful]

Ah, I was wondering why you were in our room. It was just nice to see you, though.

[Anyway, Fukuda glances at Omi. Haha what DO they do.]

I'm not sure it would be right to say.

[housewolf]

Um...

[He doesn't know how to explain it without sounding slightly insane.]

[kokytos]

[ ... ]

I'll tell you what kind of weird stuff Despair's been up to in exchange?

[holeful]

[Oh. Well he is curious, so;]

Ah, well I suppose what we did with Mr Douman earlier this week must've counted.
[Ominously vague.]

[housewolf]

Something like a feedback loop of jealousy...

[Still vague.]

[kokytos]

...?

That all sounds terribly ominous and vague.

[ Get a callout. ]

[holeful]

Well, I don't know if you really want the details. We had a good time in the end, though.

[Hm.]

[housewolf]

Hell of a time gettin' there.

What do you think of when you think of envy? It's a lot of jealousy, ain't it?

[kokytos]

[ HM........... he maybe sees what you're getting at, so he will be gracious and not pry.

He shrugs, though. ]

Some people argue that Envy and Jealousy aren't quite the same emotion. I guess my image would've been to want what you can't or don't have... easily done by maybe pairing yourself up with someone from Greed. Or overcompensating in what little you do have by making it blatant and clear to the world that it's yours, no?

Mr. Douman is also in Envy, isn't he... it sounds like you're helping each other out as a group, at least.

[holeful]

[Not prying is cool and all, but counterpoint;]

Aah. We could show you, if you want.
[Clown music plays in the BG.]

[housewolf]

[Win or lose, they're all clowns here.]

We still have time, if you're interested.

[kokytos]

[ I hope you both know I hate you and I have put back on Harlequin on repeat in rl so I can really immerse myself in this absurdity.

...... ]

Just to clarify.

What is this about exactly?
