[MEAN, Taako? As if you wouldn't also scream even louder if you were stabbed.]
Mm, you said, uh, residuals. Like we brought a fun demon curse with us or something. Or maybe virus in the system is a better analogy, since you don't like my magic ones.
Yeah. It's hard to say what, exactly, they are, but we're finding new ones and new ways they're manifesting about as fast as we're taking care of the old ones. [they do not bother being annoyed that taako agrees, they just assume he's like this.]
It infiltrates and begins to adjust things without our permission, basically. Sort of the way your demons were unleashed on your ship.
Plus one wisdom. [but there's a light huff that could be a sigh or it could be a laugh.] Sorry about that, but it's out of my hands. Hand. You get the idea.
[there's a very long pause as they examine the mark. they don't say anything about it, simply looking it over as they think.]
Did this mark do anything while you were on that island? Or was it just the demons' way of claiming you for the dead? [they sound a bit annoyed by the idea.]
I don't feel any pointier than normal, so, seems likely?
[Yikes.]
Speaking of transformations: here's my question. How much do you guys know that you either are choosing not to share or are forced not to? Obviously if you can't talk specifics, just "a lot" or "a little" will do, yeah?
Ah...well. [ah?] A bit, admittedly, though I suppose it will become relevant with time now that this has started. Though there are things we're hoping to prevent so that it won't even become an issue.
...we're looking for a solution as to not kill Evan tomorrow, for starters.
So you've got some idea that you might have to kill him, then. Caaaaaan I ask how you're getting this info? Same way we are, through some sort of mysteriously magically updating book, or beamed into your heads or secret meetings with the manager or what?
It's not an idea we like. [but yes.] And you're not going to ask to speak to the manager too, are you? [c3po tried but that was not the best moment to do so.] We simply know. Call it a connection, if you will.
Hey! [RUDE? they make a face though it's. hard to tell given the constantly shifting features thing.] I'll have you know I would at least be a Celebrity Children's Birthday Party Houdini!
I'mma be real, I would not hire you, based on current reviews. Wanted to have nice time at summer camp, instead got to see some guy fall out of a tree and brain himself on a rock! Bad time all around.
[God. Okay, moving on.]
Speaking of summer camp activities - you guys said something ominous during trial. Uh-- we wouldn't be able to predict the bad shit that would happen if we revealed teams? What's that about?
I can easily revoke my offer to publicly acclaim your food, you realize. [still.]
It's as Winter said. We won't know until it's far too late, but...that's really only if you share far and widely. You sharing with Magnus likely won't have any effects.

Right. Well, to be fair, the demons on the ship was a set up from start to finish.
[Though, Purple Heart will get a meaningful glance at that. God this better not a set up!!!!!]
You think it's just one "thing" or multiple?

The dead where we were had this. Don't know if that gives you any cool clues or not.

Definitely the latter, no idea about the former. You have to imagine they don't put meaningful tattoos on people without purpose though.

Can I speak to the manager? Listen, I'm real fuckin' good at it. I return things to stores that I shoplifted, like, all the time.
no subject
First of all, that's less impressive when you phrase it that way and second of all...you can't. Sorry.
