more like there's no evidence to prove it one way or the other. this place isn't really as straightforward as you'd like it to be.

and yeah. they've happened before. I ended up losing track of the others and getting in a fight with a vampire.

[ The latter might have been less of a hallucination issue and more of a complete loss of patience. ]

[ritu]

[He's starting to realize that. It's a very unfortunate realization.]

That vampire... Would that be Beckett? [Unless there are other vampires, which wouldn't shock him at this point, to be honest.] What happened?

[heroproceeding]

he showed his true colors. that's what happened.

[ Never mind there might have been some haughty instigating on his own part, but that's what happens when you hate the guy in the first place. ]

I ended up having to cuff him to the firepole. he's the same guy that tried to convince a friend of mine to play nice with a ghost and get possessed by them too. I don't know about you but that sounds like a stupid idea if they decide they wanna stay there or something.

[ritu]

Did it?

[He doesn't comment on whether it's a stupid idea.]

Try to stay there, I mean.

[heroproceeding]

no because we didn't try it in the first place. bad enough what this place already throws at us.

[ritu]

[Damn. He'd have liked to hear that result.]

I see. I suppose it would have been pretty dangerous had you been right.

But they can be communicated with? The ghosts, I mean. Have they ever said anything useful?

[heroproceeding]

the ones that came around before? KINDA. a lot of it was pretty confusing to be honest. we've learned more through those card lying around here than anything if you ask me. that and bits and pieces whenever one of the locals highjack the network. well. there's winter too. but she's not exactly local and she's about as questionable as that millers guy.

[ritu]

[Right. He remembers reading about them.]

But surely the SD cards were created by someone, right? But if you all are trusting them...

[He'll try to, too. Begrudgingly.]

[heroproceeding]

someone had to record them and for all we know yeah. it could be fake.

it's not like we have much to go off of though. so we kinda have to take what we can get and try to put it all together the best we can. our time's limited here.

[ritu]

[Isn't that a positive outlook.]

So you think we'll all be released at some point? Or that we'll find our way out?

[There's a pause.]

Or just die from the elements.

[heroproceeding]

[ Being stuck here for nearly half a year after all he's already been through kinda... This is honestly pretty optimistic considering. ]

at this point I figure we either find a way out or yeah. good chances we die here.

not that I'm gonna let that happen. not if I can help it.

[ritu]

[Isn't that noble.]

Right... I'm sure most would help out to make sure it doesn't.

[Hopefully. Honestly, who knows; it sounds like some people have been here for a long time, already. Ugh.]

[heroproceeding]

most yeah. all would be even better.

[ Sure, everyone has their own agenda in the end. But considering good chances end game is the end, well. You'd think they'd be willing to cooperate. ]

[ritu]

Then there are people that aren't helping?

Who?
