[She smiles when he says that, nodding.]

I was hoping you would find out sometime.

[givethemhell]

[He grins in return and huffs out a little laugh.]

I didn't ask around too much for a while - there were already more than enough people out there doing that, you know? I'm glad to have found you, though! I really did want to thank that sender.

[Once he actually... figured out it was a gift and not just a Thing that Happened when you banged.]

So! Is your role the one that allows you to give small tokens from home to people?

[uncurtained]

I’m glad you’re one of the people who got something. What is it...?

[After a moment, she nods.]

Yes. Or, well - sort of.

[givethemhell]

Clarity bell! Direct disciples of the Jiang sect wear them. They're supposed to help keep your mind calm and deflect negative influences, but... [Another little shrug.] Obviously not the case, here.

[IF ONLY... He's curiously canting his head to the side at that, though. Sort of??]

Is it more generic? You're just allowed to gift people something and you didn't know what it was until things started showing up?

[uncurtained]

It’s pretty cool, though. Too bad it doesn’t work here.

[She’s trying to find the best way to word this, so:]

Well... Yes, it’s more generic.

[givethemhell]

Mm, right? Of course they wouldn't be that generous, but it's nice to have the reminder, at least.

[Good enough for him, honestly!]

--Does it have anything to do with "giving gifts" at all, or am I getting too far away?

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

Most of the time, it does. You’re not getting too far away.

[After a moment, though:]

If I can ask something of my own... Who told you?

[givethemhell]

Mm, good! Are you still responsible for giving things out even if they're not gifts, then?

[At the question though, he laughs...]

Higekiri did. Rather, when I mentioned I hoped to thank the person who gifted me someday, he said something like "ah! Likely much closer than you think. I don't believe she'd be mad if I told you."

[uncurtained]

Yeah, you got it.

[She nods to his first statement, and smiles softly in response to his second.]

I thought it might have been him. I’m glad he told you.

[givethemhell]

[Beaming!! What a scrub.]

I am, too! He's very courteous when it comes to guarding the identities of the roles he does know, but I'm glad he at least gave me this, haha.

[Though now he feels a bit badly since she was just dealing with this nonsense with him just living his scrub life on the floor, unhelpfully.]

—Ah, right. So, then- [Unfortunately no escape.] -is it just - entirely randomized based on who slept with someone on Tuesday? Do you have any sort of list to pick from? Ah! Or is it more like - you pick something to give, and whoever fits the criteria for that week is the recipient? I'm guessing the recipients at least are randomized, but I'm trying to figure out exactly how much control you have, here.

[uncurtained]

[A little bit self consciously:]

I, um, don't really know where you and Higekiri came up with the whole sleeping with people on Tuesday thing... That doesn't have anything to do with it, as far as I know. [Anyways.] And, um, no to both me having a list and me picking something out myself to give.

[givethemhell]

Oh. Well, it's because that was the one thing that tied everyone together who'd gotten a gift so far, haha.

[TURNS OUT THEY'RE ALL JUST TUESDAY SLUTS. He moves right along, time to forget that forever.]

Hm... Is there anything that ties us together, or is it really entirely random? A certain, small number of people per week...? Or is it just one?

[i, aki, can't remember when one of them said they got theirs and fortunately wei wuxian has a bad memory too even if it pales in comparison to grune and higekiri.]

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

It isn't just one, but...

[givethemhell]

It isn't just one, but... what, one person gets something nice, one person gets something terrible?

[HE'D EXPECT THAT FROM THIS PLACE.]

[uncurtained]

Well...

[She's trying to think of a good way to say this, but it really boils down to:]

No.

[givethemhell]

[Well that's good in one way, at least.]

Is it two, though? Or more?

[uncurtained]

More, so far.

[givethemhell]

Does the number change depending on certain circumstances?

[uncurtained]

Yeah, it does.

[givethemhell]

Are those circumstances favorable to us as a whole?

[uncurtained]

Sometimes...?

[givethemhell]

[HE HATES THESE GUESSING GAMES.]

Are these circumstances something that another role-holder can dictate?

[uncurtained]

[Twenty questions is eternal!!]

I'm pretty sure not, no.

[givethemhell]

[HE'LL PLAY IT FOR BECK AND ONLY BECK!!

Though that has him segueing for a second:]

Do you know anything about the other role-holder like yourself, actually?

[uncurtained]

I know they exist and it's important for me to find them, but...

[Not much other than that.]
