A... mouse hole?

And hello! I'm fine, thank you. How are you doing, Rin?

Uru always

[payback]

Ehehe. Not quite...! A mousehole could go somewhere big.

I'm not doing so bad, I guess. [a small sigh.] I was just putting some things together.

[wornbright]

But a human can't fit in there... Unless they had the power to shrink! Do you think someone has that power?

What things?

[payback]

I bet around here, some people probably has the power to shrink. Besides, a mouse hole could fit other mice...

Well, I'm arranging some things with friends, and writing letters, and thinking about the outsiders.

[wornbright]

You mean, in the Dead Zone? Did something happen?

[payback]

Nothing's happened, thank goodness. I was just wanting to think ahead, if they came in again.

[wornbright]

You know, sometimes I think about filtering to them -- or finding someone who isn't so hostile. There has to be a whole bunch of them out there and they can't all hate us.

[payback]

... It might be worth a try.

If you do that, can you keep it open to me? I'd just read, and not say anything...

[wornbright]

Definitely!

Why do you think they're so hostile toward us, anyway?

[payback]

I feel like you're right... they can't all be so hateful towards us. But what does that mean? Are they all just spineless, smushed under someone's thumb?

[wornbright]

Hm... Maybe it's not us. The castle does mess with people's heads sometimes... maybe they're afraid we're being controlled by it.

[payback]

Which wouldn't be a totally unwarranted fear, I guess. If we were controlled, like... we might not even know.

[wornbright]

[ scary ass thought D8 ]

Do you think we might be?!

[payback]

Well, not really.

[wornbright]

O-Oh...

But I do wonder if there's even a point here all the time.

[payback]

I think our point is to jump when the castle snaps its fingers... maybe. But that doesn't mean we can't make more of it.
