Fine. [ like he was ever going to answer anything else?? but he does seem relieved Rupert is better...physically ] Wondering if this is how we find out the shadows only stop controlling someone when they're caught.
That doesn't surprise me. Back when it first happened with Sieghart, they acted like they had no idea that was even a thing. If they do know anything, I doubt they can say.
They're not the best liars. [ dryly. but he shrugs ] ... Think they're stuck same as we are. Under some contract that makes them work, instead. But whether that means they're actually on our side... I can't say.
... Yeah. [ his bat wing twitches a little ] I think they're doing what's best for themselves in the long run. But that doesn't make all of them okay with what they have to do.
A lot of it felt... Weirdly specific. I mean, the deal they offered, then finding out it was fake in the end... The fact that one of us had some kind of weird impulse to hurt everyone else. All of that seems like it might correspond to what's going on.
[he frowns.]
And it those things correspond... There was that part where we danced with - well, I imagine the rest of you were dancing with people you knew before, too. And how they all got... [...] Got punished, when we confirmed we knew who they were.
I don't know for sure, but... It seems weird to think that part of it would just be a coincidence when the rest of it matched up, and they have to hide their faces, too. You know?
A lot of them are friendly, but they seem really insistent on the fact that they can't be our friends. It's pretty easy to imagine that there's some danger here for them, too, given their boss and his whole thing.
Yeah. I guess we don't have to worry about them slipping. [ the way it happened in. their adventure. he does not say ] Some people here are nosy enough it might end up an issue, though.
Right. I think I've pushed too much recently... Even if I don't think we can count on them too much as long as they've got other duties, that doesn't mean I want them to get hurt somehow.

[it feels weird to say he's feeling better emotionally after watching something like That, but he does seem appreciative of the concern.]
How about you, how are you doing?

You think the same thing would happen to the staff? Or... similar.

One of them also said that showing their face would be a risk, so... I'm guessing their employer is pretty strict.
no subject
[ gossiping about virgo is forever ]
I figured. We had rules about showing our faces too much, too, and we didn't even have a crazy employer.

You might wanna share that with more people. Just in case.
