[allomantic]

...No.

[this is not true]

Yourself?

[bookpapers]

[VIN

thinks about it... then nods]

Yeah. I'm technically a part of one, except they don't call themselves that.

[allomantic]

[instantly thrown off by this]

...Technically?

[bookpapers]

[are not all religions cults]

I don't follow the religion or worship their God. Luckily, I don't have to do either to fight for 'em.

[allomantic]

[squints slightly]

You fight for a god you don't believe in?

[bookpapers]

I fight to protect people.

[wow this sounds so dramatic]

There are monsters called Akuma in my world that kill humans, and the only weapon that'll kill them is owned by the Church. They need me more than I need 'em, so they don't what I believe in as long as I keep destroying Akuma.

[allomantic]

... You're very open.

[vin you asked]

[bookpapers]

[he immediately grins at that]

Open? Don't you mean chatty?

[allomantic]

No. Plenty of people talk without saying anything. That's different from being open.

[bookpapers]

[....hm.]

...True. I've been called both loads of times though. My Gramps says it's a bad habit.

[allomantic]

He's probably right.

[thanks vin]

[bookpapers]

[at that he laughs]

He is, but I can't really help it... I know how to keep a secret when it counts though! Like all this monster stuff.

[speaking of]

Do you think they're telling the truth about the wish thing?

[allomantic]

What thing?

[she missed that while she was trying to assault an npc]

[bookpapers]

[VIN...]

Famine said we'll have the power to make a wish if we find the person with the same monster ability.

[allomantic]

...That's ridiculous.

[bookpapers]

[he grins]

It does sound pretty wild. [and then he sobers] They also said that your life gets tied to them if you do.

[allomantic]

...That's strange as well, but easier to believe. Why would they grant a wish to people they brought here as sacrifices?

[bookpapers]

Apparently, the wishes can't send us home or stop the ritual itself, so the cultists don't really care what we do with them.

[allomantic]

But that's still a huge gift to give for nothing in return.

[bookpapers]

True. If we're being sacrificed to get something, then it's gotta work like an equivalent exchange.

Maybe the wishes gives them power for their ritual?

[allomantic]

I don't know. I'll ask Famine about it, but it's not like we can trust the four of them, either.

[bookpapers]

We'll just have to remember that when we talk to 'em.

[WE?]

[allomantic]

[not to immediately echo this bracket text but she's immediately echoing this bracket text]

We?

[bookpapers]

[HAHA]

Yeah! We can work together!

[won't that be great vin]

[allomantic]

No, that's not necessary.

[the immediacy]
