She... I don't know what her reasoning for going after Grace was. I'm sure she had justified it, somehow, in her mind. But, she wouldn't have gone after Eleanor without that same justification, whether it was ridiculous or true.
Trusting a gut feeling's not so bad. I do so often. [ a beat, and he nudges her shoulder, teasing. ] Just don't tell me you did one of them, and that's why you're saying it.
I didn't want to say what it does at the trial in case someone was going to try and lie about it - then I'd be able to disprove them. But, it lets me change one of my features to be one of someone else's of my choosing for twenty-four hours.
I believe we did, yes. They did say they were only telling a very small number of people, and that I shouldn't discuss it with anyone they haven't told.
[so, the fact that she discussed it with gu yun at all means they can probably just name names. she already knew that he knew about it.]
But I agree - the other powers we've heard about haven't seemed so similar to each other, before.
Yuri, right? I'm glad he told you - I didn't believe him, so, it's good to have confirmation.
[ wehehe. he loves his fellow purple bastard but they're both liars and louses and he is more than aware of this. ]
I think this is the first time, yes. I think it's likely the ability itself is matched to a sin, again, but I'm not sure about the distribution. My power was likely Despair. Yours and Yuri's... Yours, at least. I don't know, it sounds odd - on process of elimination, we could perhaps tie it to Envy, Wrath or maybe Lust, just by the way it sounds.
[
it's a meme but they're ye oldes ] Though, yours was my theory for what caused Mineo's marks. I can eliminate that, so. I think it's "what are those", now.
[shi qingxuan, who really ought to know by now to not just take people at their word, absolutely took yuri at his word.]
I think he's telling the truth, though - lying to more than one person about what it does would just make him look incredibly suspicious if someone else was able to prove it did something different.
[hmm... if they are tied to sins, it would make sense - they'd rather clearly been tied to sins the first time around, after all.]
I'll see if I can find out what that does from anyone who has that power. It'd be nice to have the confirmation. [...] Though, it's possible that it might have been a power from an Avatar, and not from one of the tasks.
I believe him now, of course. I needed to corroborate it with someone, first - it's a good instinct, to think that way. I'd say that I need to check with someone else about yours, but... Meimei, somehow, I have a feeling that you're sharing the truth.
[ which is the nice thing to say. because it is still kindness week. also because sqx is a girl and therefore she gets kindness from him in general, but he absolutely thinks its dumb to trust anyone at face value. ]
But, that would be useful, yes. I'm not close enough with Sheila to just ask, though I do enjoy her company. I had thought perhaps a power for transferring injuries might be what caused it, and a title like "what are those" would make sense, in that regard.
[it's definitely dumb to trust anyone at face value but sqx is dumb so WHAT IT DO BAAAABBYYY]
I'll see what I can learn from her, then. She's been kind to me - [most people are] - so it wouldn't be that strange for her to tell me, I think, if the conversation turned that way. I can ask around about other people's powers, too...
[...]
I talk a lot and ask questions a lot, so I don't think anyone would find it very odd for me to ask them.

We must have overlooked something.

I will say this - it seemed odd, in so many manners. Maybe it was our clown shoe-wearing fiend from a few weeks ago.

I won't tell you that, Gu-xiong.

I know you won't. [ he takes a long drink. ] I didn't do any of them either, so.

...that leaves us with only so many people who could have, but - I have to admit that most of the people I'd suspect of such things are already dead.
no subject
I suppose there's still one or two more, but, maybe we'll have no bodies next week.

[she is! so tired! of these deaths and murder trials!! aaaaa.]

[ ugh. ]
...By the by, what power did you end up getting this week? If you don't mind sharing.
