Well, I'll be blunt. If I tell you my ability, will you tell me yours?

[successives]

Yours is the dart thing, isn’t it?

[But:]

...Yeah, sure. You’re asking because you need someone to use it on, right?

[axilium]

The dart thing is part of why I'm asking you of all people, yes.

[but he shakes his head.]

It's not a power that needs a target.

[successives]

I figured.

[She nods, though.]

Are you going first, or do we want to go on the count of three, or...

[axilium]

I can go first, since you already have an idea of what it is.

I can create a temporary enchanted item each week. Though with certain limitations and conditions in place, of course.

[successives]

I can erase somebody’s memory of one event per week.

[...]

Just making the item wouldn’t have counted? You had to tell someone about it?

[axilium]

Oh, this has nothing to do with the task.

... But erasing someone's memory, huh? How are you going to do that one?

[successives]

...Wait, what? Then why are you telling me?

[She looks clearly surprised before she moves on, shrugging.]

I already did, this is actually the second time we’re having this conversation. [...] Kidding. It kind of - rubs me the wrong way for anything actually important, so I’ll probably ask someone who already knows if they mind forgetting what they ate for lunch or something.

[axilium]

Well, I'll be sure to come to you if I ever need the magical version of brain bleach.

[successives]

[After a second:]

Right. Seriously, though, why are you telling me yours if it’s not for the task?

[axilium]

[he shrugs.]

A commonality of most of these killing games is that communication and cooperation was key, right? I'll be in trouble if everyone else from the castle bites it, so I figured I might as well make a start with someone who doesn't want to punch me in the face—well, maybe. I don't know what goes through your head.

[...]

So what you’re saying is that you want to be friends...?

[axilium]

[why the fuck did you say the f word]

... That was not the term I was thinking of, but sure.

[successives]

Gross, Belph.

[They remain on the same page.]

[axilium]

You said it first, not me.

[successives]

Because I was in a deep state of shock over what I was hearing.

[axilium]

That sounds like a personal problem.

[successives]

I can't believe you won't take responsibility for this.

[axilium]

I have never taken responsibility for anything in my life.

[successives]

Yeah, I'm getting that vibe. Still, there's always room for self improvement.

[axilium]

Ew, self-improvement.

[successives]

I'll get the Epi-Pen for your allergy.
