[ well, even if Setsu did see something its not like they can do anything about it.. that concern becomes a flutter of relief, until their emotions lull into a quiet calm. ]
I'm managing well enough. [ They got a neat lil black eyepatch over their right eye by now, and maybe there are a bit of cuts peeking on their hands but they hold themselves together well. ] Looks like we have two weekly tasks this time around..
[ Setsu can only give a reassuring look at the feel of that concern. it's okay! everything will work not, maybe. unsure only if because i have yet to ask mods if max heals can repair eyes. continues to be lazy and lets setsu suffer. ]
It was the one last week, which is when it begin, and now two this time around... if it does end up being three with the next, that.. makes me a bit concerned with the later weeks.
[ HELP. Setsu wouldn't want Nahida to exhaust and stress over them doing that so they would not ask, alas. that would be sweet of her though. ]
I hadn't considered that possibility... if that's the case, then maybe you don't need to do them all? Though, I don't know if it's worth experimenting with. What if you do one of the rules but not the other and get punished? [ a shake of their head, a distant feeling of frustration. ] Maybe the Reapers can enlighten us more about those rules.
I spoke with the Reapers about it briefly because I was worried if I did the second one it might make people uncomfortable, but... the impression I got was that we do have to follow both of them.
[so. there's that.]
...and since we're on that topic... Setsu, is it alright if I bite you? I promise it will be very brief and very gentle.
[ their hand rubs at the temple near the eyepatch, emitting a thoughtful sound. ]
Well, at least we know that.
[ though, the request has them blinking a bit with the feeling of surprise. they look unsure about this, considering, but their emotions settle to a quiet and they give a nod. ]
That's alright. [ with one hand, they'll remove one glove off the other before holding the hand out to her. ] I'm not sure how you'll want to do it so..
[ YEAH... it's the whole varying cuts all over for both arms really so both hands are still healing from them. sometimes one single max healing only gets rid of your back puncture holes and that's it. ]
...I still can't get used to the feeling. [ someone may have already bitten their hand before so there's only a brief surprise when it happens. but their emotions mellow down. ] At least you have it out of the way now.
...well, I hope you don't get used to being bitten, but I do hope you get used to having people care.
[help.]
That's what the rule says... I'm not sure I want to find out the hard way what the consequences of breaking it are. I'm curious, but... if it's something that might affect my team... [she shrugs] It's possible it might be an individual consequence, but I don't know for sure. And I'd hate it if my not doing it put Kaveh and Shu in a tight spot.
I would also like to avoid getting used to being bitten. [ it's not their thing, thanks... they don't respond to the other thing, emotions emitting a distant loneliness. ]
Admittedly, I'm a bit curious as well, but if it does potentially risk affecting our team I wouldn't want to put my own team at risk either. So I understand.
[ they themselves would potentially sit out one of the tasks just to try and see but not with nahida's point. can't drag others into their mess. :( ]
I wouldn't put it past them to deduct points from the team of anyone who doesn't follow the rules... if we earn points by completing tasks, why not lose them for ignoring parts of the game?
[she doesn't know for sure that this will happen, but... the possibility of it worries her. imagine if kaveh and shu were all set to go home but nahida not following a the bite rule lowered their score enough that they didn't get to.]
Considering we can't exactly see how many points we all have to compare, it's definitely a possibility.
Points deducted could be it, and probably something the reapers wouldn't give a clear answer regarding. [ if they asked what the punishment could be. though, if they did, wouldn't that push teams more to actually do said tasks? there is a concentrated thought, thinking it over. ]
Right. Any time I've spoken with them about points, they've... well, the conversation has turned to the most efficient way of earning points being erasure.

there do not appear to be any injuries on any part of her that is visible with her clothing.]
How are you doing?

no subject
It looks like it. Do you think this might mean we'll have three next week, or is the number just a coincidence?
no subject
It was the one last week, which is when it begin, and now two this time around... if it does end up being three with the next, that.. makes me a bit concerned with the later weeks.
[ week 7 and there's 7 weekly tasks to do. ]
no subject
It seems like that would be really complicated, too... what would happen if some of the rules contradicted each other?

Well, partly out of the way. The rule says to do it for everyone I feel affection for... and that's kind of a long list.
no subject
Do we really have to do it for everyone... that sounds like a lot of work regarding those that affection comes naturally for.
