[ ... ]

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?

[holeful]

[I think it's actually the correct soundtrack for what's happening.]

Well, I don't think you'd have Mr. Douman's endurance, so maybe we could just kiss...
[This doesn't clarify anything.]

[housewolf]

Yeah, I think should work.

[Cursed.]

Or... Who would you rather kiss? That kinda thing.

[kokytos]

You're thinking about making out to this music?
Now?

[ JAN AND KAREN THERE'S PROBABLY SOMEONE DYING. ]

[holeful]

Yes? The music in the tunnel of love was much worse than this.

[housewolf]

So you would if the music wasn't going?

If that's a no, you should tell us what Despair's up to.

[kokytos]

[ FUKUDA DID YOU FUCK ON THAT BOAT? ]

...I don't even know how to answer that. Given the stress of the situation and assuming similar things to last week are going to happen again, I'm just astounded you're in the mood.

[ If you insist on it hard enough, he will maybe give you a kiss, but he is not going to fuck you here. With THAT playing, also. ]

...With Despair, I personally mostly have just been talking about topics I don't like very much. Nihilistic approaches, the powerlessness of humankind. [ Wow what a decidedly unsexy topic. ] Other Despairs have done things like actively putting themselves in danger, and the like.

[holeful]

[NO!! Not as far as you know anyway.]

Well, I'd say you shouldn't be so pessimistic about what happened last week happening again, but I suppose really you ought to... Despair sounds difficult, actually...

[housewolf]

Sometimes...

[Anyway.]

Do you believe in those topics, or is it just for the 'indulgence'? And did... Despair give you options?

[kokytos]

Believing in something or not is really dependent on the time and place, I think.

Either way... well, with my job and my daily life, thoughts of Despair is but a door's knock away to dig up. Since I'm constantly faced with my own mortality and all that.

"Options" are a bit more difficult. I guess, it's in a sense, something akin to facing your fears.

...Not much in all of that that would contribute to me feeling up for having sex, like some of you all have been doing.

[holeful]

Well, even if we're encouraged to stick to our sin, we're also supposed to be indulging in general, aren't we? So I've just been agreeing to whatever people offer me.

[Fukuda: I've decided to just be a man-slut.]

[housewolf]

I haven't turned anybody down so far either.

[He shrugs, like it's not actually a big deal.]

Despair does sound harsh... Facin' your fears. That shit takes time.

[kokytos]

Hm. Well, I suppose that's equally true.

[ He closes his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest. Harlequin riffs playing for the umpteenth time in the background in the brief silence. ]

You can have a kiss if that'll help your indulgence. But assuming we could just get knocked out at whatever time, I'm not doing more than that.

[holeful]

Well, I don't know if it'll help unless you make me and Omi fight over it.

[They as asking so much of Steven. Clown music continues to play and be fitting.]

[housewolf]

[He'll come over to Steven.]

Take your pick.

One of us is gonna get jealous.

[kokytos]

[ I can't believe he's doing this. He just stares up at the ceiling a moment, then. ]

Well, if "Envy" is your indulgence.

[ He beckons over to Omi. ]
