[Yeah. So after all of that, it's something that Junpei keeps in mind when he ventures off to go find Taako. He isn't sure how to approach the subject entirely, but it's left enough of an impression on him that it's meant to be pursued.
As he approaches, he slows down just enough to give him a once-over before there's a nod of greeting.]
You ever think it'd be easier if the demons went to go fuck themselves? [It's a bad joke and a little annoyed, but at the same time demons sure are the worst.]

About covers it, yeah.
[Also . . . holding out a bottle. It might be familiar? It's the one he just fucking stole for no reason the other day. Seems like he might need it right now.]
Held onto it for you.

I told you it was a good party trick.
[It looks pretty much the same! He hasn't busted into it or anything.]
If you insist.

You mean the demon sticking around? Yeah. It's super, super great!
[Following, following. He'd be okay just skipping the glasses, but if we're gonna not be animals. Fine.]
And I have absolutely no plan either. No fucking clue what to do!

[Look sometimes you never know if a person would be cool splitting a bottle? Better to be safe than sorry.]
Yeah, that's the thing. [The trial just finished but he's already trying to come up with the next thing.] Gotta ask, did you know about the visions and everything before it was brought up today?

Most definitely I did not.
[So that's fun too.]
Did you?

Unfortunately. I've been doing some work trying to track the source, but I only found out a few days ago. Trying to figure out a way to break the news to everybody at-large without attracting the demon's attention has been a pain in the ass.
[They enter the lounge and he heads for the cabinet, grabbing two glasses and pouring a drink for each of them.]

Cat is sorta out of the terrifying bag of eldritch horror now, right?
[Taking that drink, thanks! Mostly just swirling it around in the glass for now though, leaning on whatever furniture is nearest like he's a fading heiress looking forlornly over her estate.]
Source has gotta be Polly, obviously. Then it's just whoever spread it from there.

Seems that way. Polly unleashed it and killed Carlos--[Unfair, he's still pissed and makes little attempt at hiding it. ]--and then it went to Monika to Nikkari to a whole list of people. The fucked up part is there's more than one.
[A long drink.] So. They're either workin together and feeding each other or we have warring demons who're intelligent enough to change their mind at the last second. Still shouldn't have been Prompto.

Demons are almost always intelligent, that's the fucking annoying part.
[Also a long drink.]
So, on top of all this now, we have to actually care about who we're fuckin'. In case they got the Demon Clap.

Oh. So you're used to this. [The fact that there are multiple people from universes with demons is a lot, but it makes some sense.]
We have to care about it and keep track of who's fucking who so we can work our way backwards. We had the chain mostly down, but it got muddled somewhere in the middle. [Annoying as fuck, truthfully.] The next thing is figuring out what they're targeting among us. This week it was jealousy and attempts at monogamy. What's next?

Here's my bets - it's gonna be something real fuckin' annoying to us, right? So, something to do with not just banging one person. That'll really throw your tracking for a loop when we all just go real hard in on the bangzone. Or maybe they just hate earnesty in all forms. The only real protection is detached irony.
Which I'm starting to think you're an expert at. [Zero judgment here, he actually finds it easier to talk like this. But there's a hint of a smirk.]
What makes you think people haven't already gone really hard in the bangzone? [May as well use his own words.] I don't know that many people that've only stuck to one or two people. We took that into account, too.

Yeah, and? You don't seem like you need lessons, amigo.
[Raising his eyebrows at that second part, taking another sip and a while to answer.] Oh. Yeah, I mean, sure, sure. Kind of makes me look like a real wet blanket. Hah!

No, no it's a good thing. A couple of other people could stand to pick up some tricks, but I'm working on it.
[...hm. He doesn't allow his face to tell much, but he's filing that information away.] Nothing wrong with being selective, especially since, as we've proved here, we don't know how people are going to react in a place like this.
[Prompto died because of Monika's thirst. Who would've thought? But...he swirls his own glass as he looks at it.] Doesn't mean some of us don't wish monogamy was an option though.

[Taako recoils at his own honesty about that, and makes a very obvious face. Sticking his tongue out and pretending like he's allergic to it.]
Don't get me wrong, monogamy is like. Not my thing, I'm not a prude or a romantic. I don't know, just harder to get in the mood when you're facing impending doom. Also, no one here knows how to have like, a fuckin' date? [So, kind of a romantic.]

[The reaction gets an actual grin out of him.]
I don't know, wanting a date kinda sounds romantic. [A shrug!] It's the same conversation I had with Prompto before he died. It's not really fucking just to survive. It's about fucking to get what you want. And if people want dates...kinda have to work backwards.

[Taako actually flushes the tiniest bit red at that, turning around so Junpei can't see it? Embarrassing.]
Oh, yeah, that really bodes well for my, uh, longevity here. [That was kinda mean.] Shit-- I know he was your friend. Fuck. I get it. I do. You're right, I just want to say that maybe wanting someone to say a nice thing to you before they stick it in isn't a huge ask.

[That's...cute Taako. He's going to keep quiet about it because he's not interested in being an asshole right now.]
I get it. There's a reason I wanted to make sure he was going to be protected even while he worked out his feelings for Hizamaru. [And...then Prompto died? He's not lingering on that.] Some people are in it to win it, but there's also the friends with benefits option. We're still stuck together and we're still working with each other.
[A pause for a drink.] You probably have some opinions on the people here already, don't you?

You know what. It's fine. Taako's out here with his shit together, a full-grown elf, I can bang my way through this place with the best of them.
[Snapping back to center as quickly as he floated off of it, as soon as he's asked for his Opinions. Of which, yeah, he has many.]
Oh yes. I absolutely have some opinions. Anyone in particular you wanna hear about?

[Sounds fake! But he'll just, like, nod along and assume that this full-grown elf can take care of himself. They'll come back to that in a little bit because, unsurprisingly, he's very interested in Opinions.]
Couple of people, but let's start with some that I just haven't talked to much. Edelgard, Aizawa, Illumi...people like that.

[Gossip! He loves gossip so much. This is his weakness.]
Eddie seems alright - bit of a hardass first impression, but y'know? Seems like a solid party tank if you're shopping. Also, obviously a sociopath.
Aizawa, uh, the guys a bit of a spacecase, but kinda fun. Think he'll be interesting. I'd keep an eye on him.
Illumi I don't know shit about. Seems like kind of a weirdo. Who banged him anyway?

I'm not opposed to sociopaths, or tanks. [A gesture to himself? His twink ass is kind of in need of someone who can fight, it's fine.]
I regrettably have an answer to that question because the other party told me, but I was just as surprised as you were that Illumi slept with someone more than once this week. [He regrets! So much! But he loops back around to the middle topi.] What makes you think Aizawa would be interesting enough to watch?
