Multiple methods, it seems. They provided us that notice that murder will ensure our hostages' safety, but if Sieghart told the truth... either there are other means to force our hands should this fail to sway us, or this shall continue to happen while we are encouraged to kill of our own volition.
[sometimes, you just almost kill a guy because you think he may kill again.]
But we learned it was possible to cure the afflicted, instead. There is still enough we do not know of this compulsion at this early a stage-- especially whether it would affect the same person twice.
[i appreciate emet-selch neatly eliding who nearly did it. tbh harrow would respect it.]
That is good to know. Sieghart...I think he suggested there might be a way to spot those afflicted, but said no more on the subject when I asked if he meant some tell or sign. He did not think those who knew him would have noticed something was amiss.
There seemed to be very little that he was able to say, in general. In that case, I suppose it may be possible the signs are in what they are unable to answer...?
Where would the entertainment be if we had the tools to succeed at the start...?
[a tilt of her head.]
Clementine said something interesting. Perhaps it is the shades we are here to entertain. The hostage motive would seem sufficient alone without possession, so perhaps the possession has a different purpose than forcing our hand.

Indeed. You? If not, I will gladly recount what I learned.

I have yet to decide if it was at all a relief, particularly after that message today.

I think we shall have to watch and see if one becomes clearer.

It is hardly impossible that others shall blame their own actions upon it, so vigilance will be necessary in that regard.

[especially now that they've seen it can be...
well. that.]

Oh, I do despise this waiting around.

[a huff.]
But mayhap that is less 'entertaining'.

'Tis worth bearing every possibility in mind, I should think.
