week two, thursday.

[foodbin]

[Even as the urge to stick close to Naminé grows, there's someone else Emma needs to seek out. She doesn't need to go too far to find him, at least; when she comes upon him in the village, she raises her hand as she calls out a greeting.]

Hey, Lea. Got a second?

[leaberator]

[ her one single hand...

lea turns around when he hears her, closing the distance between them at her hail ]

'Course. What's up? [ uh ] You sure you should be walking around yet...?

[ she's missing a hand, lea, not a leg, ]

[foodbin]

...I can still walk, you know.

[Lightly. Anyways!]

Um, there's something Sol wanted me to talk to you about.

[leaberator]

[ look he's WORRIED? anyway he raises an eyebrow ]

Sol, huh. [ for some reason, he looks mildly amused at that ] Sure. What is it?

[foodbin]

Do you know anything about the extra abilities some people here have...?

[She pauses.]

Not the elemental stuff.

[leaberator]

[ there's a pause as he frowns ]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Some people here have an extra power, right?

[foodbin]

Yeah. Some people do.

[And she gestures at herself as she says that.]

[leaberator]

[ oh. oh. ]

Oh. [ he blinks ] What is it?

[foodbin]

It’s basically like... We pick a person each week, we get a whole host of info on them. Alignment, whether they’ve snuck anywhere this week, who they’ve talked to, if they have another power of their own. I’m like a glorified stalker, so that’s fun.

[leaberator]

[ ............. ]

Wait, you're the one working with Hisoka?

[foodbin]

It’s like I’m a babysitter, but the child is psychotic and asks if I want to sleep with him, and also, I don’t get paid.

[leaberator]

He asks if what.

[ why do they have that in common NO WAIT THAT'S NOT THE POINT ]

Never mind all that-- what did Sol tell you that convinced you to tell me?

[foodbin]

Yeah, I told him to fuck himself and things escalated incredibly quickly, so that was horrifying.

[She gestures towards her arm stump, though.]

I was asking about some kind of prosthetic. It’s part of the favor I’m doing him in exchange.

[leaberator]

[ ah... ]

Well, that makes sense. [ there is a long, long pause. ] Truth is, I kinda got one too.

[foodbin]

You’ve got what? Another power?

[leaberator]

Yep.

[ ... is he gonna like explain or ]

[foodbin]

Are you.... going to tell me what it is...?

[leaberator]

[ there's a long pause ]

Yeah. [ was he. hesitating??? ] You know those wooden puzzle boxes from last week? That was me. Long story short, I get to pick one vague option out of three and hope whatever I picked doesn't accidentally hinder us in the long run.

[ it's fun. ]

[foodbin]

...Oh. Do you pick every week, too, or...?

[leaberator]

Yup. According to Sol, whatever I picked this week will help find the corrupted next time there's a trial.

[foodbin]

...Thank you.

[With sincerity in her voice.]

Does anyone else know?

[leaberator]

I literally pick at random. Thank the universe.

[ he shrugs. ... and has the decency to look a little bit sheepish when he admits: ]

Your roommate.

[foodbin]

Why? Are the descriptions usually vague?

[She nods.]

That’s a good pick.

[leaberator]

[ ha ha ha. descriptions. his smile is sardonic ]

You tell me. My choices this week were "Calamity, Battle, or Purgatory".

[foodbin]

...Jesus.

[She sighs.]

Which did you pick?
