I would assume so. Interested in trying them out?

[teenrebellion]

Maybe.

But I think I might let someone else have it. Could be good for a laugh, depending on what it does.

[factoring]

Do you know where those love curses came from?

[was that also a food or was just at complete random?]

[teenrebellion]

[ that question brings with it a hot wave of anger that settles right under the skin. ]

No.

[factoring]

[She does feel it, but it doesn't seem to change her calm all that much.]

That's unfortunate. I was hoping it could be traced down. [Maybe stop people from doing that? Oh well.]

[teenrebellion]

[ grits his teeth. ]

I'm sure it could be, but no one's owning up to it. Someone was responsible for it.

[factoring]

It seems they know they've drawn ire.

[Some people (Kazuki) are big mad.]

[teenrebellion]

I wouldn't be as mad if they'd get over themselves and say something about it.

[ spoilers! he is lying! ]

[factoring]

You could put that on the group chat and see where it leads you.

[It really won't get him anywhere if it's a special psych tho.]

[teenrebellion]

I seriously doubt anyone would answer, especially not in public.

[factoring]

That's likely, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

[teenrebellion]

Would you say something, if it was you?

[factoring]

I might say so privately.

[ But that's just her. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ gazes ]

It wasn't you, was it? Or someone on your team, that you know of.

[ he has no reason to be sus and yet ]

[factoring]

[ The static of puzzlement.

Why would she ask if she already knew? ]

It wasn't me, and I don't think it was any of my teammates.

[teenrebellion]

[ just covering his bases!! there's a little bit of relief there. ]

I think Wenzhou-sand would've had words if it was, anyway. It was sort of his problem, too.

[factoring]

Because of the strange effect from last week, right?

[teenrebellion]

Yeah. [ with a buzz of irritation. ] I'm really glad that's over. I don't want to ever have to deal with something like that again.

[factoring]

It'd be strange if that specific thing came back.

[is he safe from crau3]

So far it's been different every week.

[teenrebellion]

[ stop crau3 is so far away i don't want to think about it ]

So far. But it's only the third week, so who knows? All of them have made everyone get a little too friendly, if you ask me.

[factoring]

Fair enough. [Personally, she is unbothered.] I wonder if we'll get another additional rule tomorrow.

[teenrebellion]

Wouldn't surprise me. The question is what it'll be.

Like - will we have to do something with other teams again? I really don't get why they'd have asked us to do something with other teams like that when this whole thing is a competition. Even the reapers keep trying pit us against each other with their dumb questions, so what's the deal?

[factoring]

I do think it's strange. Part of the time they want to foster inter-team boding, and the other half of it they want us to erase each other. [It's for the drama.]

[teenrebellion]

It's counterintuitive. If they really wanted it to be a competition, shouldn't they be more focused on making us want to erase each other?

[ it's for the drama! ]

[factoring]

The only way to win is by having the most points at the end. So even if we don't want to do it, somebody with enough desire will.
