[she's not going to ask why it's up to her to ask, both cloud and yuffie have made it a point to remind her that she is the one out of all of them who's best at connecting with people even if she's not sure of that herself sometimes.]

Maybe I will. I do want to meet them again soon. I went to see Famine and War last night but I thought they could probably use a break after watching us all day.

[pestilence really did call everyone stupid and they're right for it.]

[residentmerc]

Probably felt like they answered enough questions yesterday already.

[ that's how cloud would feel... if he was an npc.... yeah..... crazy what if ]

[residentflorist]

[wow...we will never know what cloud is like as an npc...wow...]

They did kind of volunteer for the job. But I guess they didn't think it'd be this messy. Especially now that they're down a number.

[residentmerc]

Think that one's on them. [ ... not them being down a number, but-- ] They should've expected messy with their experience with the cult.

[residentflorist]

I'm still not entirely sure how long they've been here. From the sounds of it, all three of the ones remaining only joined to see if the cult could really succeed in summoning a god. Just for different reasons.

[residentmerc]

Yeah, I heard. [ very scientific of them! cloud hates scientists. ] Sure were making a big deal out of it.

[residentflorist]

[she tilts her head because that's not quite how she'd describe it, but she's curious.]

What did they tell you?

[residentmerc]

The whole... wanting to prove gods exist thing.

[ he means that summoning gods is very funny for ff7s sometimes they come in little glass marbles ]

[residentflorist]

[mood.]

Oh. I thought maybe you talked to them and heard something different about it. But...they all have different reasons for wanting to see if it's possible, too. And from what I understand Death didn't have a specific god he believed in, but he had something he wanted.

[residentmerc]

Nope. Got about the same spiel. [ he stays quiet for a bit ] I dunno. Guess it's good they hit a limit somewhere around human sacrifice.

[residentflorist]

I won't question it. As long as they're willing to help us now, we have to try and do the same in return. It's the only way this is going to work. [she seems sure of that.]

[residentmerc]

... Yeah. You're probably right.

[ will he still question them anyway because he has been burned by a cat specifically

yea ]

[residentflorist]

[she is Aware.]

But you're still not sure about it.

[residentmerc]

... That so surprising?

[residentflorist]

No. I think I'd be a little more surprised if you agreed with me without any suspicions.

[it's a gentle rib at herself, because she's aware that she tends to be more trusting.]

[residentmerc]

You're making it sound like I never agree with you.

[residentflorist]

Oh. [hm. she lets up a little because that's actually not what she meant this time.] It's not that. You agree when things make sense and you don't when they don't.

[residentmerc]

... Alright.

[ mollified. so long as she doesn't think he is trying to like... disagree on purpose... ]

[residentflorist]

[they really forgot to talk about the plot and got so derailed but it's okay.]

We don't need to worry about that kind of stuff today. I think we've had enough excitement for now. [the execution really was in their backyard.]

[residentmerc]

[ i dont remember anything that happened on sunday its so far off ]

... Yeah. That was... a mess.

[residentflorist]

...you think Laudna's really going to sew Karlach's fingers back on? [because. yikes.]

[residentmerc]

... Not sure. Maybe the overseers will have something else, but...

[ well his basic first aid training is military and does NOT involve fingies ??? ]

[residentflorist]

Unless it's going to be too obvious to their cult that they're helping us by doing that. [a.] I don't even know where he got that saw.

[residentmerc]

'Pparently it's part of the magic in this place interacting with the ritual again. [ does it make sense for him to know that based on our sunday timeline. idc. ] So it conjured weapons for both of them.

[ ... but one of them was a torch.. ]

[residentflorist]

Of course it did. [she just sounds annoyed.] And they couldn't be two of the same weapon to at least give Karlach a better chance?
