Day 68 | Video Call To All

[hardestofharts]

Well now, can't say as I'm exactly surprised that someone was willin' to go through with the whole human sacrifice to appease the angry monster thing. Or that someone was willin' to kill someone else for the 'safety' of everyone else

Have experience.

Someone is dead? Where? Want to see.

[hardestofharts]

I didn't see it happen, I just heard someone sacrificed himself. I dunno where.

[He raises an eyebrow]

Yeah? What kinda experience do you have?

[timisnotme]

*The screen goes to static and then the image comes back, you're looking at yourself now Miles, but saying the last sentence slowly looped backwards. Beneath the image appears the words:*

[Now Miles is freaked out, and he draws back from the screen a little, looking at it with a suspicious expression]

What... are you doing?

[vectornake]

It was...done rather quickly, wasn't it?

[hardestofharts]

It was. And it definitely ain't gonna just resolve itself like that.

[vectornake]

Not with this kind of man, no.

[hardestofharts]

What do you know about him?

[nameless_hollow]

Human sacrifice?

[hardestofharts]

So they say.

[nameless_hollow]

One of the humans kill another or what?

[hardestofharts]

That's what I've heard, yeah.

Finally, someone making sense. It's not going to stop, not now that the bastard knows he can get us to obey him just by threatening us.

I was trained to resist tyrants and protect the innocent, among other things. This situation shows just how far out of hand this place has fallen.

[hardestofharts]

[He nods]

My job means I see a lot of manipulative, power hungry people. This guy is one of 'em.

[ltnumbernine]

I wish mine didn't, but I have some experience in that sense as well.

I'm concerned what this might lead to. But I'm also unsure whether I can take actions without orders.

[hardestofharts]

There comes a time when you just gotta take action. Don't worry about orders.

... 'course, that hasn't always kept me outta trouble.

[coffeecoffeetea]

You're right. It's not going to end, even if he did get what he wanted. The thing is though, what is the reason behind his actions, and how are we going to stop him?

[hardestofharts]

That's what I'm trying to work out. I haven't quite got it yet.

[coffeecoffeetea]

We'll figure something out. Humans always do in situations like this.

[hardestofharts]

You say human like you ain't one of them.
