...

[she was expecting anger. but, an exchange - if he won't be upset with her, she owes him at least this much.]

My title is Salome... I am on the blue team. I can choose two or three individuals to fall in love with each other until the end of the week.

[she hesitates, and then -]

...for what it is worth, I did use it on myself before I tried to use it on any of you. I... I had no idea the effect would be as intense as it was with Asch and Zenitsu.

[ honestly he's just tired and maybe it's complicated he's Avoiding two people right now. ]

Oh right, the Sparky and Carrot-Top mess. You should be careful, playing around with a person's heart's probably one of the more dangerous powers here.

[ there's a pause, and then he adds: ]

White Witch. Super strength and increased resilience for an hour. [ sure, maybe he can say she owes him, but fair's fair when it comes to these powers. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I know. I was not intending to use it again, but when I saw you arguing, I thought... maybe it would cancel out what was happening.

[she knows that the three of them don't actually hate each other, so.]

...eh? Ash, you did not have to—

[fair is fair, but she didn't come here expecting that]

[voidbreaker]

You noticed we're the smallest team now after what happened last week? If we know more of who's who, we can get more points in these stupid tasks and even the playing field more.

[ ... ] As long as you don't tell anyone, we're even. And don't do it again.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah... yes. That is true.

[and she nods earnestly]

I will not! I had already intended not to use it, but... I panicked, seeing you argue with them. That does not excuse it, though.

[voidbreaker]

... Yeah, also don't do that panicking thing. It doesn't work out so well, and it doesn't cancel things out. It just double curses you.

[ puts a "you tried" star on flayn ]

So, you got a present yesterday, yeah?

[fishingforcompliments]

[i cant tell if he actually has you tried stickers or if you're just shitposting in meta text]

...I did, yes. From what I understand, it can cause an explosion.

[voidbreaker]

[ i'm shitposting but i WISH ]

... Huh. Homing projectile?

[fishingforcompliments]

...I think so? I am not certain how it would manage to do such a thing, but... I believe it is "heat-seeking".

[voidbreaker]

Hm.

Yeah, that sounds about right. We probably got the same thing then.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I see. I will ask around. I know of some others on our team, so it may help to have a better understanding of what they received.

[voidbreaker]

Same. There's definitely variety, I can tell you that much. At least three so far.

[fishingforcompliments]

That many?

[voidbreaker]

Pretty sure they're given out in twos. And there's eight of us left, so...

[ 8 / 2 = ... ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...then there may be one other type that is unaccounted for.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. That's where we're at so far.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well - I am sure we will get to the bottom of it.

[she smiles]

This is a highly capable group, after all.

[voidbreaker]

In general, or narrowed down to teams? 'Cause we did just drop by like a third if that's what you meant.

[fishingforcompliments]

In general. [...] I know that things have been... difficult, but I also know that we all overcame many adversities before we came here.

We have gotten off to a very rough start, I will admit, but... we learn more every day, do we not? So I hope, as we move forward, that we will be able to do more with what we learn.
