Hate to break the news to you, Anubis. But your newbie is a self-righteous idiot. His retribution is allowed because his is just. And everyone else is just wrong.

But now I'm curious.

How did he and Lucifel tell you how the murder mystery game went down?

[rollwillpowercheck]

I...

[well, shit. there's a pause as he comes to an unpleasant realization.]

I was so focused on healing everyone in the aftermath that I didn't ever... end up asking for full explanation.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm sure everyone appreciates your dedication to unbiasedly making sure we all don't suffer do to our own stupidity.

[rollwillpowercheck]

If you don't, you can go without next time! Like you don't have your own ways to cope!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What a pleasant reaction! I do hope you make good on that later.

[rollwillpowercheck]

You're a dick. But that's nothing new.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And you cope by trying to give hope to the general populace. And then get upset when they let you down again. And again.

That's also nothing new.

[rollwillpowercheck]

... yeah. It's really not.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you worried about what's going to happen to SensitIV?

Or disappointed that another one has fallen to the petty vengeance of being an idol in Hell?

I'm disappointed that someone can come so close to understanding the ridiculously basic concept that cooperation is our biggest advantage and then not see the problem with vengeance--

[cuts himself off.

...

mmph.]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[fuck it.]

No, you know what? I'm disappointed because I was actually starting to believe that maybe things were going to go better with sensitIV! And one of those things was that I might finally have someone on my unit who would both agree with me that holding petty grudges and killing other people senselessly was really fucking stupid, and actually speak up about it! But so much for that!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You're never got to get through to Lucifel. Or to this new fucking paladin on your unit. They're too fucking far off in their own head space to reign in. At best, you can minimize their blast radius. Or try to wrangle control from them.

Which is not going to be easy because they seem to be the loud squeaky wheels on your unit. And getting most of the facetime with the other units.

What are your thoughts about the rest of them?

... Loki aside. I've never met him but I've heard enough second-hand to not be impressed.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I can't give up on them. That would just... make things worse.

[he considers the question, though.]

The rest of my unit... Sekhmet-san is serious, but she's too new for me to have more of an impression than that. Persephone-san is reliable for ordinary practical stuff but I feel like he'd rather fade away than actually show that he has feelings or opinions on things, so I never know what's going on with him. Sometimes it makes me want to scream. Nya-san is reasonable and kind half the time, and then he'll have these mood swings, and I don't know what to do. And I'm afraid Lavender-san is going to keep shrinking in on himself until he becomes a black hole instead of ever speaking up.

Oh, and Loki-san's graduating. Right into Hell's welcoming arms.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He was about to say something else, but that last sentence gives him pause]

As in he's took Asmodeus's offer or...?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Well---

[Fuck]

Not who I would have wanted as a first choice.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Yasuragi, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I heard about that one. I had no idea they were that much of a matching set.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Loki-san is devoted to him. Though I'll never understand why.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Charisma, Anubis. Charisma.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Charisma.

[he says it like it's poisonous.]

If someone's charming enough, they can get away with anything -- I shouldn't be surprised. Asmodeus seems to operate on a similar principle.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh no, that's power. The very embodiment of you can't hurt what you can't touch.

The well groomed gentleman look is probably just a facade.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well, I hate it! I hate him! I hate all of this! Everyone just wants to make things worse all the time!

. . .

You're really close to cracking, aren't you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Would it be so terrible?
