[he shakes his head.]

I asked what mine was about and got a vague answer. I didn't ask about the others.

I can bring it up next time I see them, if you'd like.

[leaberator]

Sure? It's only a thought for now. There's a lot you could do with that, but seeing as they're anonymous, most of it might freak people out.

[ especially with hisoka writing them. the freak. he tilts his head in thought ]

Can't really make them do anything but what they want with their own role, though.

[nonbelligerent]

It seems that way. At least this other one is more eager to help than Hisoka is.

[leaberator]

Anyone would be more eager.

[ literally anyone. ]

Hey, remember those wooden boxes from last week?

[nonbelligerent]

The puzzle ones?

[leaberator]

Yeah. I asked Sol what was up with them. [ he looks to the side with a frown ] He got all vague about it [ as they do? ] but he basically said they came from someone here.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Well, that's interesting. I suppose they did seem a bit odd.

[the universe?? doing something nice???]

[leaberator]

[ the universe being nice is ooc???? thats why he asked ]

Right. So one of the powers here can give items of some kind. [ how that works is? mysterious ] So that makes at least three. They wouldn't tell me the exact number, but Sol said it was a handful, less than thirteen, and not four.

[ he. he pestered a LOT ]

[nonbelligerent]

Those are oddly specific numbers.

[leaberator]

Four was my only guess he'd answer, but thirteen's a pretty common number.

[ is it. ]

[nonbelligerent]

If you say so.

We've had no sign of what they did this week, have we?

[leaberator]

Not yet... But it's gotta happen once every week. That's the one thing consistent about this place so far.

[ everything just happens once a week, nicely, like a schedule, ]

[nonbelligerent]

I guess we should keep an eye out, then.

[leaberator]

Right.

[ there's a pause as frowns in thought until he suddenly slaps his forehead??? ]

I'm an idiot. Six! There's six total.

[nonbelligerent]

[well okay then]

Why do you say that?

[leaberator]

I did this guessing game with him? Three guesses then I was out? I was only half-serious during it, but at some point, he joked about how third time's the charm. That's when I guessed six. He hadn't really answered either the second or third, so I thought he couldn't play along.

[ so shess already knows four was his first and six was his third. guess what. his guesses were. in order. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[...

oh, axel. shess just looks amused.]

Well, if it works, it works.

[leaberator]

Hey, random guesses is how I do most of my work.

[ is he joking? a mystery ]

[nonbelligerent]

I would believe that.

[leaberator]

[ he laughs a bit ]

Alright. Well, I guess the good news is, you already got two of 'em. And they're at least ... working together.

[ even if it is hisoka. ]

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not so sure if that's a good thing, if it means every decision has to go through Hisoka as well.

[leaberator]

Yeah, but at least it means someone else is keeping Hisoka in check.

[ as much as? they can? so it's like. win/lose ]

[nonbelligerent]

That's a rather harsh job to place upon someone.

[leaberator]

Yeah, well, they're sharing it with me.

[ because axel has resigned himself to having to put hisoka on a fucking leash soMEHOW ]

[nonbelligerent]

I appreciate your sacrifice.
