Ahh. So am I, short of my pin. I don't really want to go barreling into a situation with no weapons or defenses. That seems incredibly stupid.
[ there's a bit of a joking tone to this, but, he recognizes what she's saying. ]
...That being said, I still stand by what I said to you both yesterday. If someone attacks me, I intend to come out of it the victor. I won't make the first strike.
Well, obviously if someone attacks you, you should kill them, and then come to me after and I will help you dispose of the evidence. That is a different matter entirely.
[ friendship levels: i will help you get away with self defense kill ]
Ha! Well. Then, I'll hold you to that, in exchange for the fact that I swear that I won't attack anyone. I'm going to try to live without my medicine, which is something I have never done in my entire life, so do know I'm taking this quite seriously.
[ actually fuck this place!! god!!! ] I look forward to being able to express my opinions again. Feel like a scorpion with the poison sucked out of its tail.
...I think I'm going to have Molly tattoo my mole back on. [ seems a bit of a non sequitur, but. he reaches up, tapping the spot, which has now faded to a blush pink. ] Shouldn't be too difficult.
Precisely. [ he snorts. ] I owe her a thousand gold pieces for the scare and the sensation, likely, but I had to be sure. It's a bit unfortunate, because I wanted to keep it up my sleeve a little longer, but it was worth it.
I think you're right. Vira mentioned her getting a power from Gluttony, right? Did we ever get clarification on what that was?
Good. If it worsens, and it would be better to change to another form of communication, merely tell me. I write quickly.

Ah. Yuel confessed to the arrows, at last. I gave her my power this week in exchange for the confession. Which, incidentally, is Seth - the animal transformation power.
She didn't mean any harm. It wasn't even a prank - I think she genuinely thought she was doing a nice thing for White, and chose Molly because she thinks he's a "good friend."
What we discussed still seems the best method. I've thought perhaps of putting those tattoo needles of Molly's to work in another place, as well. The inside of my arm, perhaps - a symbol or shape to memorize to use to answer questions. Touch the petals to bring the volume of my voice down to something more normal. Touch a leaf on the left to look left, so on and so forth. I'm still pondering what would work best, so I'll get back to you, but it's something I don't think anyone will question, should I merely explain I wanted Molly to do it.
[ since we're all Gay Drama and stuff. he'll gladly use that to his advantage! how useful.
as for the last bit, he just. sighs. ] ...Well. I'm glad it's all solved out. Can't say I'm surprised. [ yuel.... why are you like this..... ] Is she going to apologize to them?
[ snort. ] No, of course not. I just knew I had an easy excuse to make it sound like she did, and no one would call me on it. Lest my feelings were hurt. [ that last part is like dripping with sarcasm, but that's fine. ]
At that point, I knew for certain Misa hadn't actually killed anyone - what happened with Grace is what she whispered to me during trial. I wanted to focus back on the case with Eleanor, so I was hoping to clear some of the suspicion off and move on.
[ he shrugs. ] She didn't tell me that - and to be honest, I've thought her capable of it for a while. She told me she was awake, and that she saw Grace, and the bit about her injury. I was able to more or less put the pieces together, with the addition of learning about the curse you placed on her.
[ timeline of trial is a blur there's a 85% chance i didn't time those two things correctly but SHH WE WILL PRETEND I DID IF I DIDNT OK ]
I also wanted to see if anyone would contradict me, in case she was lying.
