[banzais]

Sure, I can do that.

[SO EASILY,,]

Though - I possess a question now as well, if you don't mind.

[uncurtained]

[She pauses, before she nods.]

Yeah, of course. What is it?

[banzais]

What reward are you looking for, in exchange for this task?

[he kind of wants to know just bc he's helping?]

[uncurtained]

Information.

[After a few moments:]

I really wish I could be more detailed than that.

[banzais]

Then... I suppose I have a follow-up question.

If I may?

[uncurtained]

You have blanket permission to go for it.

[banzais]

If you possessed a special ability, would you tell anyone?

[uncurtained]

That... depends on a lot of different things, I guess. What do you mean by special ability?

[banzais]

Something unique to you that others do not possess here, that could help the people here if you could discern how to use it to the best of its potential.

[uncurtained]

[She tilts her head slightly.]

Well, I guess it still depends. Why do you ask?

[banzais]

That is the information that I seek, I suppose you could say.

And since I am aware that it requires a formal accusation:

My friend, I believe you are in possession of an ability. You desire information, but I believe that special rules that prevent you from speaking without being prompted are what keep you from telling me what exactly you're looking for.

Am I correct?

[uncurtained]

...I kind of wondered if this would make you ask.

[She gives him a small smile.]

You got me.

[banzais]

[he just smiles back and presses a kiss to her temple]

I've been on a rather good streak lately.

Tell me, does your ability have anything to do with generating items?

[uncurtained]

[She gives a light laugh as he does, reaching for his hand.]

Two for two. Did someone tell you?

[banzais]

[higekiri reaches back, offering a smile]

Junpei approached me first when he did not know it was you - and then I was given the task of searching for others for him. Then I discovered Wukiri, and then Tamamo.

I did not know if all three of them were familiar with you... but Junpei shared that it was a matter of engaging in the fucking coitus with someone on a Tuesday. Wukiri received his rather early, and does not particularly like to share a bed in such a way if he doesn't have to.

But you share a room.

[uncurtained]

...Wait, what?

[It's unclear what she's referring to for a moment, but—]

What did Junpei say about having sex on Tuesday? And - my roommate has a role?

[banzais]

[hmmmm!!!

higekiri blinks at that before tilting his head]

Oh... am I still searching for that role in particular?

[he hums thoughtfully]

Wukiri does not have a role - but are you the one who has been bestowing small gifts to others from their homes?

[uncurtained]

Yeah.

[She confirms, but she moves on fairly quickly.]

Then why did you bring him up...? Sorry, I'm confused. Can you explain what you're talking about?

[banzais]

Junpei's working theory is that having the fucking coitus on a Tuesday was a similarity that led him to believe that it was you, I think.

And as far as I know, Wukiri doesn't share his bed with that many people. He's always so offended when I ask to make sure he's safe for the week. He said 'I get that out of the way as soon as possible...!'

I guessed that he must have done it with you, since you're already sharing a room.

[uncurtained]

I... That shouldn't be what led him to think it was me.

[She pauses, though, until realization dawns on her. Then she starts laughing (more than a little awkwardly).]

No, he's like - the only friend that I haven't... [beck??] No. We're just friends, really. Honestly, I kind of assumed he was taking care of it with you.

[banzais]

Hm... well, he might've lied to me, or it was a hint to something else.

[interesting!!! higekiri doesn't seem offended

but he actually laughs a little bit more at the admission]

Oh - sometimes, but I'm not his first choice. I think I play with him too much.

[hige bullies wwx so badly]

[uncurtained]

...He definitely told you that he thought I had a role, though?

[She can't help but laugh a little bit in earnest, though.]

Did he say who his first choice was?

[Purely for teasing purposes, tbh.]

[banzais]

Hm... No, but he suspected someone based on his conversation with Wukiri. At the very least, he seems confident in his guess. Have you not spoken with him about it?

[he seems a little surprised

but at the question, he just smiles]

He did not. We should find out.

[hE JUST WANTS TO KEEP TEASING WWX]

[uncurtained]

How much did he tell you about that conversation? [...] No, we have. I'm just curious about the details I didn't get, I guess.

[Her smile grows a little bit more uncomfortable, even though she doesn't protest about the idea itself.]

I might leave that to you. He and I... kind of got off on the wrong foot, but since then, he's one of my best friends here. I don't want to mess that up.

[banzais]

Not much aside from that... I only spoke to him earlier today about it since I found out about Tamamo's item last night.

[and that was the last of his report. then beck found him and he was able to get more answers he wanted, wow great

though he notes the discomfort... and just offers her a smile]

Mm, alright. I can play with him - but I'm sure that he forgives you, for whatever foot you started off on. Wukiri and I think alike often... and I could not imagine staying unhappy with you for long.
