I'm in contact with the people from the castle, of course. Anaido is... he's pretty damn sensible, so sometimes I'll trade information with him. Same with Lili.
Tonbo and I have traded teams. I'll get Percy's this week, or Minako-chan's.
[picking off names in his mental list] Giyuu, Jason, 45, and Asch I'm working on. Don't know if I'll actually offer info to them, I know they've got their own alliances, but we're in contact. Same with Phoenix, Dimitri, and Wu Wexian.
there's a reason why belph, on the other hand, associated primarily with the likes of akechi and shirasu back then; alliances where he expected them to backstab him sooner or later, once he stopped being useful to them. he's never been good at forming connections.]
... You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but I'm curious about a theory of mine. Is Tonbokiri with Black Shadows?
[Ha... Well. Sanji merely turns his head away, feeling a sting of guilt. Belph knows how he is -- how casting himself as a villain was the only way he got through Grimm -- and it twists his stomach knowing he's chasing after half of these people in the hopes they give him information.
But it is what it is. That's how the game is played. He rubs at his neck, sighs, and then shakes his head]
Can't tell you what team he is because I don't know who he's told yet, but assuming he didn't lie, he's not with Shadow.
According to the rules, the team with the highest score at the end of the week receives a prize. I suspect said prizes are pink-coloured, so I was wondering.
Though it's possible that even if I'm not wrong, multiple teams won last week.
... Then, it's possible that only the winning team got something useful, while the others got consolation prizes.
[he reaches up to his ponytail and under the scrunchie he uses to tie it up, before he slides out a bracelet.]
This lets me nullify any curse or effect for fifteen minutes. One time only, of course. But let me know if you think you'll need it for whatever reason.
... Hikage and Steph are the only ones who know my team, but I haven't mentioned the prize to anyone.
[he clasps the bracelet around his ponytail again.]
Guy also had a harmonica, so he's probably not with Shadows either. Well, not that knowing people's teams means much right now.
[...]
I get along okay with Natalie and Wei Wuxian, so I'll see if I can strike up any further contact with them. It's mostly superficial right now, though. Shinobu too, but she's pretty hard to read.

[Heck, Belph doesn't even break into "bad" category, so Sanji is confused]
Are people here really giving you shit?
no subject
I guess I have some semblance of an info alliance with Akira, but that's pretty much it.

You always were a popular guy.

Should I?
[Because he will if Belph tells him to]

[And, hm.]
Right, I forgot about the prizes. I've been slacking on the tasks, won't lie. [Folding his arms]
The first week, I got a kazoo as well. Pink, too. But it was a shitty consolation prize, not anything useful.

He thinks he knows what team Belph is on. It's why his expression turns sad for a beat]
... I don't know who you've told or haven't, so I'll just give you a hint and leave it at that until a couple of days go by, if you wanna verify, but:
Tonbokiri and I are on the same team.

[Working himself back into a grin]
S'not much different than the castle, yeah? We just cover for each other's mistakes and see where we end up.
[And though he doesn't say it, this is ... good motivation for Sanji. He's not about to leave Belph and the others behind without a fight]
Anyway, I'll let you know if I need the bracelet, but for now, keep it on ya. I'd rather you not get caught unawares by someone's bullshit.
no subject
Sure thing. That reminds me—I also got the flashlight from the store, if you ever want to borrow it.
no subject
Yeah, I'll let you know if I need it -- might want it just in case I go snoopin' around.
