Definitely not Kiki's Delivery Service

[myironeyes]

I've noticed a number of absences at dinner.

I'm not affected and I'm not interesting in asking you questions.

[The first is a lie: he can do that, when not asked a direct question. The second is mostly true, except by implication, because he might ask questions anyway. Like this one.]

Which of you are skipping meals to avoid encountering people during this flood?

[Anyone who answers yes - and even some of you who don't - are going to get food deliveries from Trainspike Hedgehog, here.]

[OOC: feel free to through up a spam response to him knocking, if you want that instead of a network thread.]

You're in luck. I lied.

The effect only applies to direct questions. Try it.

[For all his bluntness, he was a spy, once. He is actually tricky when he wants to be. Which is to say - not particularly, with C'Rizz.]

Do you trust the admiral.

No. He's an inscrutable, unreliable, twisted son of a bitch who's either an absolute sadist, incompetent, or both. But I don't think he's hiding anything relevant that's any worse than what he does to us openly, and I believe he honors his bargains.

Are you certain he's not turning us into his slaves or soldiers or pawns.

Yes. I've seen people leave. Gone with them, on occasion. And Sazed wouldn't have sent me here if that was happening.

It still feels wrong.

[He's not sure if he believes Marsh or not, but even if he could be sure-- he's discontent, angry at and afraid of himself and the people around him. And angry that all he wants to do is hide. Because that's what he does, isn't it. Runs off and hides.]

It's a very rough place. Just because it's not an atrocity doesn't mean everything happening here is right.

But you don't have to be afraid of - that.
