Well yeah, but I kind of ended up the person who is actually suppose to do a good job. It's a lot of pressure for a single young man, you know. Ah, but people do like to watch the struggle.

I'd like to know why you threw in those easter eggs into the last game? You got hurt for it, was it worth it?

[opening_act]

I think it's better if the pieces know at least a little about the game-board. If you stumble around blind the whole time, I don't think you're going to make many winning plays.

[liarliarliar]

If we're pieces is there an even bigger game we're not aware of? Aside from the two sides trying to win graduates.

[opening_act]

That's a good question! Homework assignment for you!

Please think on the questions:

What does Heaven get out of this?
Is there a bigger game?

There's no due date, and I won't be checking your answers.

[liarliarliar]

Thanks.

Okay, part of my research then.

How would someone from the other side pitch graduation?

[opening_act]

Ask Mukuro!

[liarliarliar]

Same cost?

[opening_act]

I don't know what he's set his at yet, or if he's even taking meetings.

[liarliarliar]

Boooo.

[...picks up a pillow and tries to shrink it, curious]

[opening_act]

[ his powers are on, it works.

she throws a pillow at him for doing that tho ]

Hey!

[liarliarliar]

Ack...!

[laughs]

Sorry! I just suddenly wanted to try!

[tosses it to her]

Can't you fix it?

[opening_act]

[ Catches the pillow, dissolves it into konpeito, and walks over to sprinkle it on his head instead ]

Nope! You owe me a new one.

[liarliarliar]

Ah?? No way...! No way!

[...grabs one to nom]

[opening_act]

You should spit that out, it's gonna turn back later.

[ for now though, it tastes like sugary konpeito candy! ]

[liarliarliar]

[....spits it into his hand]

Then what's the point of iitttt....

[opening_act]

I could have done feathers! Or butterflies.

[ Picks up one of the konpeito and cups her hands. when she's uncupped them, there's a butterfly in there. She lets it flutter out of her palms, around the room. ]

[liarliarliar]

Ahh...that's a cool power...

[i miss my illusions...even if i couldnt do stuff like that with it]

[opening_act]

Right? I like it a lot too!

[liarliarliar]

But I can't get something like that.

[opening_act]

You can't.

[liarliarliar]

You're teasing me on purpose. That's so rude!! Exael! Why are you so MEAN.

[opening_act]

You shrunk my pillow first!

[liarliarliar]

I could have grown it back....! It works both directions...!

Why are you mean?

[liarliarliar]

[then a long beat....]

[liarliarliar]

Why was that game so mean?
