[ me and eli shaking hands in convenient amnesia. ]

Oh, trust is a strong word right now. But it isn’t a given they have the kind of omniscience to just know when people are missing.

[agleam]

Right. Just...

[a quick glance to lup, and back to him.]

I don't know if I should get into the details right now [when there are certain people in the room], and it might have been a coincidence, but... I mentioned to one of them offhand that I was scared of something pretty specific happening, and then that exact thing happened while we were in there. It's just something to keep in mind,

[ashenvaliant]

…

You think they might have organised it?

[agleam]

I think it's possible they at least passed on the idea to whoever they're working for.

[ashenvaliant]

I figured most of what we talked about wasn’t secret, but if you’re right then gross.

[agleam]

There's a difference between it not being secret and... this.

[he makes a face before he continues on.]

I don't know. I'm not completely sure, it's - a pretty common thing to be worried about. It just strikes me as strange.

[ashenvaliant]

If it’s not that, then we have to worry about how they knew what scared you the most. How deep did their investigations of us go?

[ … ]

The word of mouth method is less unnerving, by far.

[agleam]

... They knew about something that happened to me back home that I hadn't told anyone yet at the time that they brought it up. So - a decent amount, at least.

[ashenvaliant]

[ well that makes a little prickle of something cold go down his spine. ]

…

I wonder if they were looking into us even before we left our first games. Information like that isn’t just stumbled across in a day, or a couple of weeks.
