You'd think they'd be a little more subtle than... this.

[ This is so much. ]

[stunwhistle]

[he shrugs]

In my experience most really evil people don't have a subtle bone in their body.

[becomemod]

[ There's a pause here like they're going through their mental Rolodex of evil. ]

I dunno, some people are good at hiding it.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, until they get the chance to do their evil monologue. And then it's like, "Muahaha! Cower before me! I am literally the architect behind every terrible thing that's gone wrong in the past year and a half!"

[...]

Actually, I'm never sure why people don't just cut them down while they're monologuing.

[becomemod]

[ Sometimes it's more along the lines of "I'm so bitter about my breakup with your father and so I'm going to take it out on you specifically." ]

In terms of storytelling? It's for the drama, but in real life? Dunno. It seems like it'd be a good time to punch the guy out.

[stunwhistle]

[ ._.

parents and their romantic drama... don't remind will... why must his father be such a slut............]

Seriously. Just - wham, bam, they're down. [...] It's not always gonna be that simple but it's at least a start.

[becomemod]

[ Sorry about your dad, man. ]

Feels like they'd get up and monologue even harder for spite's sake or something.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, probably. What a pain.

[becomemod]

Yeah...

[ Sighs. ]

Did you want some snacks while you're here? We have fruit gummies and those peanut butter filled pretzel bites.

[stunwhistle]

[he grins]

I would not say no to some gummies.

[becomemod]

[ They'll reach up to open up a cabinet and hand him a few pouches of fruit gummies. Yum. ]

Here.

[stunwhistle]

[he opens one pouch and slides the others into one of his cargo short pockets for later]

Thanks.

[becomemod]

No problem.

I really appreciate that you're sharing stuff with us. I know it can be kinda hard to trust us... and think we're hiding stuff.

[stunwhistle]

...I'd rather trust you guys than not trust you guys. I still have to keep my guard up, but -

[he shrugs.]

I do think we're more or less in the same boat. If you were trying to pull the wool over our eyes, one of you would have let something slip by now. [...] So I'd like to be able to help all of you get home, too.

[becomemod]

If we're lucky... No, I think it's more like... if we can all work together and find a way forward, we can find a way back home.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah. I'd like it a lot if that's how all of this worked out.

[becomemod]

I know it's optimistic, but... I think it's better than thinking there's only one option.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, I agree.
