[WELL. He's coming back to the room with a bottle and some snacks. That sure was an investigation! Did they ever find more than one body?? We'll find out in ten minutes but i'm just writing these starters now because i do what i want and wwx's reaction would be the same either way UNLESS IT IS BECK AND IF IT IS I'LL KILL YOU
Anyway.]
—Another weekend on the way, hm? It feels like it's been forever since this all started.
[can’t believe everyone failed to kill me and i still gave you a heart attack anyways
Either way, she’s still in the room; last week has made her hesitant to investigate, even though she knows being careful could prevent a repeat of what happened then.]
But yeah he absolutely does not blame her for not looking around and will fight anyone who would even think to give her grief over it.]
It was Shiraishi this time. [A beat, but it's not like she's not going to see it tomorrow, so:] He was also decapitated and some of his organs were placed around the ship.
That was my first thought, but I've heard it's likely Maou's demon was the one who did that. We either have another brutal one on our hands, or one that just saw how easily Maou's demon got away with its crime last week.
[She has to think for a moment about whether she can say this, but since it isn't just about her role—]
All of them rotate, if the person who originally had that role dies. It's only in that case, though, so it won't switch if that person is still alive. Is that what you meant, or... Is there a reason you think that one rotates every week?
Of course you do! All profits will go directly to our sect.
[He's taking the whole concept of the watermelon sect back with him to his own world, which will most certainly not get his ass kicked by thousands of angry cultivators.]

Can I ask who told you that? Or... If you know who took care of his demon, at least.
no subject
Kagachi is the one who told me, and I don't know the answer to that, unfortunately.
[He does look pretty genuinely apologetic about it, though.]
But we do think that it rotates - whoever is responsible for dispatching the demon early.
no subject
[She doesn’t look too bothered by him not knowing, especially because she’s curious, now.]
no subject
Well - the last person who managed to dispatch one of our dear friends was Kanesada, so.

There's another beat, though, and then:] You would have to ask Kagachi for his reasons.
no subject
[Provided none of them get voted out, at least, but she'll leave that unspoken. Glancing towards the bottle:]
Anyways... What did you bring back?
no subject
Either way, the first gets a nod and a smile. As for the question, he'll hold the bottle out for her to get a look!]
Just rice wine, haha - creature comforts or something, you know?
no subject
[She holds a hand out with a small smile.]
Want to split it?
no subject
[He's already handing the bottle her way!]
The first sip honors can be yours.
no subject
[She takes him up on that, though, taking a drink before she passes it his way.]
...It's not what I expected, but I like it.
no subject
Good, good - I'm glad! It's nowhere near as good as my favorite from back home, though. Now that's a rice wine done right.
no subject
[She hands the bottle back to him as she asks.]
no subject
Mm, not really. I couldn't get to Gusu easily from Yiling!
[HE COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE BECAUSE HE WAS A PARIAH.]
It was a real shame. That's one of the things I missed most about it! No other place I've ever been makes wine as good as Emperor's Smile.
