Remember that bit, about how if we're alive at the end of it and in the lobby at check out time, that's when we'll have fulfilled the terms of our contract? Why specify that? Lobby's not exactly a hard place to get to right now.
It's probably that, too. It's what I thought of it at first as well. ...But there's nothing in that contract guaranteeing access to the lobby at that time in the first place, either.
Yeah. In general, I'd say we should keep an eye out for any loophole that'd stop the Nightman from fulfilling his end of the contract. But considering how this shit works, might be that he never intends to go through with it in the first place. What are we going to do? Sue him?
I realize how this sounds, given the kind of person he seems to be, but... I think for now, until we can get more information, we just have to hope that isn't the case. And if it turns out later that it is, then I'll...
[ hmmm. he can kind of guess rupert isn't the kind to Want to do things on his own and if this is habit it's a sadsack one so. what if he. makes an inappropriate joke; ]

We'll just have to find a way to keep an eye out for that possibility, and try to stop it from closing off.

Then we can figure out how to deal with it then.

Sorry, I'm kind of - used to having to do things on my own, lately. But that doesn't have to be the case here.

Yeah, I doubt a solo show is something he'd find particularly interesting.
