I'm sure if you said it would make you three happy if they gave it a try, they would stay.
[ Because who could say no to three GREMLINS is the tone. He would, but that isn't the point. ]
Then you're left to handle this on your own. [ Which is kind of normal, really. When has God done anything for him? ] Are you bound back immediately after this project? Maybe if you could use more time before you leave... You can find a solution.
You think so? [ she is less confident in her gremlin ability, but it is possible. they do appear to be three teenage girls. perhaps people would, in fact, listen. ]
For now I suppose. I'm not upset about it though. [ she shakes her head though. ] I think our deal with God says we have a little leeway for when the project's over. I'm sure if I asked I could stay for a little while longer. Maybe go back to that house of mirrors to see what else I can pull out from my memories.
It's... nice. That they do. There are so many of you we like, too.
[ mutual fondness... ]
I'm not afraid of my memories, so maybe it isn't so dreadful to me. I just want to understand them, and find them. What better way than to search a place they can't hide?
... I suppose it is also different if you go by yourself to witness them. [ Even his happy memories, he just would rather not have them be seen by people without his permission. ] It is... Odd that some memories show that people can't remember, or it never happened to them.
Hey, some of you still hardly ever talk to us. You can't fault me for that. [ she is being Nice but she also knows he's teasing, so she's not too fussed. ]
That's sort of what I thought as well. If the only person who can see them is me, then I will know what to expect if other people are around. [ she hums a little though. ] Are you sure they're memories that really never happened?
Again, if you want to talk about your findings or your process of recollection, I have not much to do. Except redeem, I suppose. And read people's findings on morse code and doors.
[ However well or poorly he does that. I mean the redeem part, but also reading comprehension. ]
... Well... I was told by the person that they don't remember it.
I find you to be relatively intelligent at least. But I also like talking to you just as a friend. [ so she will share whatever. ] I guess... I am curious what your thoughts are on our little morse situation, actually.
[ also she frowns. ]
I suppose I can't argue that too much considering how little I remember of some things. I guess I never thought of it as "not happening" though.
We've corrected it, yes. It was a minor thing, a change in letters. But it helped that some of you were willing to show us.
[ help this man. and also help lucas who is going to behead jacopo literally later this week, but they do not know this. so she frowns thoughtfully. ]
Oh... [ she does not like that. ] I wonder then if it's a similar case to me. Something suppressed he doesn't remember? Things on their island sound difficult to cope with.
Oh, that's good, though I'm worried if we've missed anything else.
[ I have never felt so helpless tech wise in my life. They both really don't know Lucas is going to traumatize him more and he will handle that alone even in the gy. ]
... I'm starting to think you may be right, but I don't know what to do with it.
Physically? No, I don't think so. But I have been thinking about those messages lately and what they were meant to convey. I don't know if any of you have thought further about it and come to a conclusion, or if I'm being silly to still be theorizing on it.
[ jacopo for fucks sake PLEASE DON'T HANDLE YOUR BEHEADING ALONE. ]
... you don't want to rush into it if it is a suppressed memory, I think. When we tried approaching Noah about remembering his murder... it hurt him, at first. Panicked to remember the details. But it was for the better in the end, maybe.
Are we thinking on the messages from the fourth week? With the knocking... And the verses?
[ listen............ he doesn't want to be h/c'ed even though he probably should. ]
It seemed like a simple and rather impactful memory, on a positive note at that. [ So like ? ] There are other parts I'm concerned about, but... Surely his friends from home will do something.
Yes, those, and the overall picture that comes with it. They feel separated from each other, but I wonder if that's on purpose. To make us think less of it rather than taking it at face value? People always second-guess something that seems so obvious.
[ i think he very much needs to be h/c'ed, please help him. ]
That's something good at least. [ but if lucas doesn't remember it then that's. literally why then. ] It's going to depend if his friends from home can do something. All of them seem to be struggling themselves.
I had thought it was an implication... Of the mysterious individual infiltrating. Someone let them in by mistake, or under poor judgment, and it was the individual's plan to invite the plague we have now because they are—unhappy with god?
They are. [ Jacopo, you can't think yourself better than them, but he does. Except for Adolphe, apparently. He carries himself so cognizant of what's wrong with himself and what should be right. ] Perhaps... I'll broach it.
That seems to be our best guess now. [ however, we now know mary was doing this on purpose. thank you, mary. ] Though it's the unhappiness with God that I'm less certain of. None of it sounds particularly targeted, until it is.
[ jacopo. she just shakes her head. ]
It can't hurt. An outsider's perspective might be more valuable than you think.
Cursing god is also very common among people, I feel like. When things are rough, they want something to blame. [ Thinks some more. ] A result of god's intervention, someone who doesn't feel like they belonged before? Taking things into their own hands, even if it's beyond them?

Only if we were sure they wouldn't storm out right away. Where would be the fun to that? But maybe. It's worth the consideration.
[ but yes. it is a problem. she shakes her head, holding a corgi by the underarms and letting it wiggle. ]
I haven't, no. They have a lot on their plate right now that it feels inconsequential.
