... All in favor of getting away from the terrifying child, say "Aye"!

Because, you know? Siding with the slightly less homicidal, static-warped voice doesn't sound like half a bad plan, at this point.

I...I don't know. If he was really trying to help us, why did he do all that stuff at Christmas?

[weaponsparked]

I don't mean him, actually. The other voice on the recording... "Jane".

[hispalette]

That woman? She sounded really afraid. [pensive,] I don't think she can do anything to help us, though.

[weaponsparked]

... It might be worth a try.

[hispalette]

How? She lives with that thing. How can we even get close to her?

[weaponsparked]

... I haven't quite thought beyond the "maybe we should speak with her" portion of the plan.

[hispalette]

It'd be easier if she were out shopping alone or something. There's still the others to worry about, though, like the policeman and the mayor.

[weaponsparked]

Yes, well. Distracting them doesn't tend to end very well... They usually find out and... reprimand those responsible.

[at length, tired:] So the postman's really all the help we have right now. Is that it?

[weaponsparked]

...

It's the first time any of them have offered to help us so openly. I... still don't know how much to trust him, though.

[hispalette]

The girl sounded like she really hated him. What if he's even worse than she is?

[weaponsparked]

She's... she's the one who runs things. At least, that's what I'm guessing, based on the information I have. I'm not sure if anyone in the town can be worse than that.

[hispalette]

Everyone has a rival.

[weaponsparked]

... What does that have to do with anything?

[hispalette]

Maybe the postman is hers. If he can get us home, he shares some of her power at the very least.
