[a fair point... save your wrists

Sousuke does a half shrug at Ish's reaction.]

As I said previously, they operate on a global scale. And I suspect a sizable proportion are contractors who care more for their paychecks than company values.

[calamitish]

Hmm... then by wiping them off the face of the Earth [ said with an accent, whatever you call your world is for you. ] do you mean receiving the means to do so, or the act itself?

There's a difference between giving you a payload of bombs and killing them all outright.

[arbalestrier]

[Interesting accent... He'll note that because why not.]

The act itself.

[calamitish]

That's a pretty high ask since it would touch so many people at one point in time. I could do it, but one death definitely wouldn't be enough.

[ thinking emoji, yes he actually does this. ]

At least three murders.

[arbalestrier]

[He squints at the thinking emoji and just at Ish in general.]

Why three?

[calamitish]

Three is the max you can kill in one go! It'd get really messy for me otherwise.

[ me, fyre, and luna dying if someone goes feral and tries to commit a 10 body pileup for real. ]

[arbalestrier]

[damn there goes my plan to have him create chlorine gas and poison everyone--

But hearing that there's apparently a murder limit feels, well, frankly kind of absurd considering this entire set up.]

What happens if someone attempts a fourth?

[calamitish]

[ alas... ]

It'd be a waste! And I'd have to stop them. If I wanted to just cull the heard, I could have done that myself.

[arbalestrier]

Because it isn't how you work? You split quite a few hairs for someone who's encouraging us to murder.

[calamitish]

Right! I'm entitled to my quirks, aren't I?

[ though sousuke probably knows by now that it's more than that. ]

[arbalestrier]

[ish why are you always so sus...

Anyway, he's not dignifying that with a real answer!!]

I wonder. Does your 'goddess' approve of your quirks?

[calamitish]

[ his specialty! ]

By quirks I'm assuming you mean the whole murder bit? In that case, absolutely not!

[arbalestrier]

[Okay, that catches him off-guard. He doesn't discard the possibility that Ish is lying, but it's obvious it wasn't the answer he was expecting.]

What? Then why are you doing this?

[calamitish]

I can do something for her that she doesn't exactly agree with, can't I?

[ to put it MILDLY. ]

[arbalestrier]

[There's a quiet grunt in response. ]

I suppose. But wouldn't it make her unhappy to see you doing this?

[calamitish]

[ ... ]

Yeah, but I'll accept her punishment, no matter what it is.

[arbalestrier]

[...]

Would she do it?

[A punishment, he means.]

[calamitish]

Mmm... maybe. I wouldn't dare to speak for her. Usually the other attendants were the one who scolded me, but they're all dead now.

[arbalestrier]

[He’s admittedly kind of curious now.]

What killed them?

[calamitish]

[ sticking his tongue out. ]

That's a secret!

[ me: i wish this wasn't during week 2 so i could give sousuke the tea. ]

[arbalestrier]

[omg... well he can still bother him... later.......]

I take that to mean you were responsible, then.

[Because only a murderer would have reason to keep quiet about the cause!! or something.]

[calamitish]

That's a decent guess!

[ hehe. ]
