1. Has anyone heard a prayer asking for someone else's death?

2. Has anyone considered answering such a prayer?

Names not required.

I will definitely remember that fact. For now it's a deal, but I reserve the right to quit in the middle of it.

You take the first question.

[Because what he chooses to ask might be insightful, too.]

[oneblackcat]

Likewise.

1. Are you a shinki?

private & still anon

[slantedcross]

1. No.

1b. Are you dead?

private & still anon

[oneblackcat]

1b. No.

2. Are you older than 19?

private & still anon

[slantedcross]

2. Yes.

2b. Are you?

private & still anon

[oneblackcat]

2b. No.

3. Does the name Schwarz mean anything to you?

private & still anon

[slantedcross]

[And by process of elimination:

1. Schwarz means nothing to Ken or Nagi or Ouka or Aya's sister.
2. Aya himself is accounted for.
3. Tot is accounted for.

...leaving him with Omi and Schuldig.]

You narrowed me down to two options, then?

private & still anon

[oneblackcat]

I'll take that as a yes.

1/2 [not a comment]

[Meanwhile, this person on the other end... Schuldig would not be quite so uncertain and questioning, he thinks. Schuldig would play a game, but Youji doubted he'd suggest it, not when he had the ability to teleport into Youji's temple and read his mind, as he proved, that one time.]

Let's just stop the game here, all right?

It's me, not that other guy.

private, not anon

[oneblackcat]

[Oh... Well, that settles that.]

I'm not sure if I'm relieved it's you or annoyed.

private, not anon

[slantedcross]

Neither reaction is unexpected!

I don't know if Schuldig is elsewhere in this post. He might have just ignored it, he could read my mind if he really cared enough about it.

Now that I know it's you, I have to ask: why were you wondering? Were you looking for that kind of prayer?

(You're still a troll for posting it in public)

private, not anon

[slantedcross]

Believe it or not I was just curious. I mean, we kill people for money. It's not a stretch to believe someone else would for the power and the followers.

(Yes, but you knew that beforehand, didn't you?)

private, not anon

[oneblackcat]

You make it sound like it was about the money.

private, not anon

[slantedcross]

Did floristry pay your bills...?

private, not anon

[oneblackcat]

That's not the point. I didn't become Weiss for the sake of paying my bills.

private, not anon

[slantedcross]

That's because you're a minor and your bills are already paid for you.

private, not anon

[oneblackcat]

Wrong.

private, not anon

[slantedcross]

It makes more sense than your answer.

private, not anon

[oneblackcat]

[What's making no sense about it?

Omi thinks the protest but reconsiders it before he types it (ah, the beauty of text-based communication). Instead, Youji will simply get this:]

Whatever. If you want to keep trolling, you'll have to move on to someone else. I've got better things to do.

[He won't answer again.]
