It reminds me of what happened to Aoi and I after we started fighting.
[she's, uh, more than a little concerned about that.]
...if it's anything like the power I have, it should wear off at... um, the end of the week. [...] But I sent Lust a message, and they said that maybe they would be able to intervene with it if it gets too bad.
[ and three actually because he knows at least one other one. ]
That makes me wonder who it could have been. Lust did it to you all, right? Not someone among our group? They said they 'fixed it' when I asked, when it came to you.
Molly has it. You have it. That's at least one if not two others. And why now, I wonder.
Mmhm, they said they did it so that we wouldn't try to hurt each other anymore. [which, uh, fair. cola and i were so ready to just let them bash their heads in on that table.]
But there shouldn't have been any need for them to do that again - and not to the two of them, of all people. Why now and why them, is what I want to know.
On the tactical side of things - the powers are wearing off this week.
It could just be someone wanting to play a prank. White's easily embarrassed. On the other hand, Molly was involved in helping to set that trap that caught Law - so it could be someone trying to keep him from doing anything helpful this week.
[ :T ] They're sorely underestimating the number of people capable of setting traps, if that's the case.
Mn, I don't think so. If it's not a prank, and it lasts for a week, it leaves Molly distracted for the entire week. Harrow is extremely clever, but sometimes she...
... is not that personable. [ he could've like insulted her or something but he didnt because harrow is like one of his favorites ] And Molly is. Not to mention, he might just tell White things, because he's been cursed. It's not that I think White is doing anything malicious or bad - I don't - but the more people that know things, the worse it is.
[ and molly is a good person who tells people things if he trusts them. it's so shitty that someone would mess with him like this, and gu yun really hates it. ] Plus, the power wears off on Friday, rendered unusable - meaning it wouldn't affect them for the trial. Why not get the full effect of the week?
[honestly he's valid. harrow is so good. shi qingxuan would probably have been annoyed if he'd insulted her (but wouldn't have been able to tell him so).]
There has to be something we can do about this...
[using her own power to try and redirect molly's affections would probably just go poorly, though. the idea occurs to her, but she doesn't suggest it - that's got the potential to get messy fast.
it's going to be bad enough when this wears off on its own.]
...are you sure the effect will wear off on Friday? I know we stop being able to use them then - but, from what I understand about it, the arrows are meant to last the entire week once they've been used.
... After last week, I'd be careful of that strategy.
[
yikes. ]
There were a few people who wouldn't come out and admit what power they had last time around. I've been keeping track.
Maybe Meimei can use her charm to help me figure it out. We didn't hear from Medb, Grace, Yuel, Mahito, Sheila, Endorsi, or Eleanor. Mostly ladies were quite coy, between both weeks. Any thoughts?
Well, if nothing else, it might make it easier to tell who did it if someone seems unusually attached to my corpse.
[
yikes indeed! anyway.]
...mm, I'm not sure which of them might have done it - but I can certainly ask around. I think I get along fairly well with all of those people, so they might be willing to tell me.
but thank you, sqx. he nods, tapping his chin. ] My first thought was Eleanor - and if that's the case, she certainly did it as a prank. [ and he would be less. well. he's worried. it's fine. ] Let me know what you find out, yes?

[maybe they're trying to be subtle...?]
Even if it is just a prank, that's just - they shouldn't play with people's feelings like that.
[...]
And it seems shortsighted to use it so early. What if they need it later on for something?

I'm still saving mine, just in case. If someone tries to kill me, I'll just make them fall in love with me so they won't want to hurt me.
