Probably!

Do you think the directors are responsible for this?

Do you think those three voices belong to the directors?

[axilium]

The petty, spiteful part of me wants to say yes, but if we want to think about this logically...

[he holds his hands out, palms upwards, and shrugs.]

It's possible they were sincere and something hijacked the camp. Maybe they're hiding because they don't want to face us; maybe they can't come out for some reason. It's possible that it has something to do with Mask Guy yesterday—but that would make those three complicit, since I spoke to Winter Wizard and they made it pretty clear they knew who or what Mask Guy was. It's possible they were lying all along.

We really have don't have many indications either way, though at the very least, I'm pretty sure us being here was always less innocent than they suggested. Winter Wizard was dodgy about my questions yesterday, and they didn't deny it when I pointed out that that was a sign of them hiding something important or having ulterior motives.

[lol. . . lol]

I didn't get a chance to ask any of them about the mask guy. What did they say about them, specifically?

[axilium]

That "everyone here is accounted for".

Later, I asked if that meant every single being in the campsite this week has a profile on the bulletin board, and they just said "the bunnies don't". Which means, possibly, that Mask Guy is in the profiles in some fashion, or they don't count as being here.

Or none of the above, because when I asked that, Winter Wizard just shrugged and told me to ask Mask Guy the next time we saw them. In general, trying to ask any questions about them got me a lot of non-answers and "figure it out yourself".

[wHY IS HE NOT SURPRISED]

[he just sounds SO EXHAUSTED]

I'm really tired of trying to navigate my way through vague answers.

[note to self hit up the npcs like something fierce next week]

[axilium]

Right? I was so exhausted.

[survivaltricks]

I spent most of the week grilling them more about themselves rather than trying to ask them about the camp.

Winter's bunny is named Bluekie, by the way. And they like slushies.

[axilium]

I'll keep that in mind for next time, if they ever step outside of their office again.

[survivaltricks]

They had better.

I told Shadows I'd teach them how to make curry.

[axilium]

Oh, make some for me while you're at it.

[survivaltricks]

What do I get from you if I do?

[axilium]

Three seconds of appreciation?

[survivaltricks]

Meh.

[pass]

[axilium]

Wow. High standards here.

[survivaltricks]

I'm a tough guy to win over.

[axilium]

Your profile suggests otherwise.

[survivaltricks]

[SUBJECT CHANGE: GET!! AGAIN!!!]

That aside, have you been speaking to the directors often?

[axilium]

A few times, I guess.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . hm]

A few times is enough.

Care to make a deal with me?

[axilium]

... It depends on what the deal is first.

[survivaltricks]

Not everyone is willing to talk to the directors. I can't blame them, especially now.

But I'm going to pester them as much as I can. So. . . [holds out a hand???] I can share with you what I learn from them, if you'll promise to do the same.

[axilium]

[...]

I can't promise how useful I'll be since I have a distinct penchant for pissing people off, but sure, works for me.

[he pauses, but since he's wearing gloves, he'll take akira's hand. did akira already forget about the effect.]

[survivaltricks]

[no he too is wearing gloves. he remembered]

. . . I can't promise how useful I'll be since I have a tendency to get distracted.

[HE LIKES TO SOCIAL LINK]

But it's better than nothing.

[axilium]

At least yours is the useful kind of distracted. Mine just gets people wanting to punch me.
