I didn't want to keep you waiting, and I knew today would be one of those odd task days for all of us so...
[ and then it was a party night, so all the better for him to have gotten it all done. he reaches into his pocket and pulls his room key out, the keychain from the gift bag is attached to it. he hands it over to them. ]
they take the key, focus on it for a moment - and then one of the stars at the bottom of the tag lights up.
pants on fire is now his! as stated on the menu, using it will force someone to tell nothing but lies for one hour. however, if used on friday, they have the option of making it take effect during the trial instead, though this would be linked to a specific trigger to make it activate (such as being directly accused of murder, or being pressed for more information about an injury if someone didn't accept their explanation of it, or the like). if the trigger never comes up during the trial, it will take effect for an hour at random afterward. one use only.]
...it goes! We've all been a little busy since you guys are talking to us more now, but it's the kind of busy I like. What about you?
It was a fair task—hardly anything awful about it.
[ he nods at them, tucks the hand back into folded arms. ]
Emet-Selch no doubt found me insufferable. I think that was more a reward than anything. The backwards thing took a bit of practice, but that's only because I haven't written backwards in a while. The reactions are rewards in and of themselves.
Hee hee! I guess some people are more willing to invade others' privacy than others are, huh? It's good that you know how to protect yourself from that.
Nothing quite like it, really, I suppose that's why I've stuck around in the job as long as I have.
[ no he has other reasons but like shrug emoji also i keep forgetting this week's effect so he's just vibing with his usual leopard ears and a tail today again ]

Wow, you made short work of that, Kaeya! Could you hand me your room key, please?
[they hold out their hand for the key.]

[ wave wave. ]
Everything else is... as usual. Thank you again for the task... it was rather fun.
no subject
...you're welcome. I'm glad it wasn't - too awful.

[vulpecula, you can't just say that--]
Not in a while? ...you've done it before, then?
no subject
[ vulpecula can say anything they want???? ]
no subject
[they giggle]
Does that happen often, people trying to read things while you write them?
no subject
People are nosy.

That's why you always have to keep adapting. Thats the thrilling part of the work, really.
no subject
Is there any part of it that isn't thrilling?

Say, Vulpecula, what's your favorite color?
no subject
[valid. i also forgot. they've got bunny ears again.]
Oh... I'm not picky about colors. Why do you ask?
no subject
It could be fun.
no subject
Oh, I have! I got them done right before I went home after traveling, actually. It is really fun! ...but it can chip a lot since I use my hands...
no subject
Same... but the activity itself is rather nice, isn't it?
Maybe if there's nail polish somewhere next week we can see about scrounging some up. Unless someone has some on them.
no subject
[they hum.]
Hmm. We'll see! It can't hurt to take a look around next week and find out.
