It is no trouble. [ there's a little curiosity in his expression anyway as he sits and grabs a tea setting for himself. ] ...And I did, briefly. Enough to ask why he did what he did.
[ nothing is easy here, but it doesn't mean any of them can idle. in his case, it was for a dead friend's sake—harrow, likewise, has living friends to ask for. ]
...Yes. Whatever my thoughts of the man, I do not think he had reason to lie about that. He told me that the shadows, in case, influenced his actions when he at first ignored them.
...I agree with your assessment of his character. It would not seem to me likely he would lie if he intended to cripple himself before the execution and not fight back.
And it seems that is the case, which only means we need to hasten our efforts to. retrieve the hostages ourselves. Lest we all murder each other before then.
Quite. I suspect very soon, in addition to ghosts, we will have to deal with those of us who have only been waiting for instruction on how they might save their hostage.
One of the staff mentioned something to me. It is possible to request to see one's contract. It is not immediate, so I have yet to see mine, but I believe it may provide some clarity on the terms. I would suggest inquiring about it.
[she considers the question for a moment, chewing on her lip.]
I do not ever think it advisable to trust anonymous strangers outright. The Avatars, at the station, were ultimately trustworthy, but I certainly did not take them at their word early on, nor do I regret that. [also they tried to feed them to a furby but she's not bringing that up.]
However...at least from a few of them, I get the impression of someone who is worth speaking to and cautiously giving the benefit of doubt. I have a hunch they may be in a similar position of coercion and trying to help, but I cannot give any evidence in support.
[ he thinks over his tea as she speaks, not interjecting until she's finished. ]
...For what it was worth, last time our camp advisors were like us. People who had been brought back to do this all over again. They worked with us, in their own way.
[ at least the trend of generally being helpful is nice, though who knows if it'll hold. it would be nice to be able to trust them, and each other. ]
With that in mind, I think your instincts may be right. Even if I have to reserve judgment for now.

Then you surely heard his tale about the shadows.

...Yes. Whatever my thoughts of the man, I do not think he had reason to lie about that. He told me that the shadows, in case, influenced his actions when he at first ignored them.

So, then. We are all potentially targets.

...I do not think everyone here needs to be threatened or controlled to murder, no.
[ sieghart, if anything, might be an uncommon case. ]
But we also have no real assurance that our hostages' safety will be guaranteed, even if we choose to listen to these shades.

How much do you believe the staff here?

Virgo is awful, but everyone else I've spoken with has been decent. I do find Gemini especially reasonable.

[ was virgo the one that threatened to eat people. a couple of them seemed pretty difficult in general. ]
But perhaps they are more helpful in private.
