Didn't we just do this last week?

[perpend]

[It's starting to look like this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

Just like last week, Cabanela waits a while before he makes his rounds, writing everyone quick notes and sliding them under each occupied door.]

Stay strong.
If you don't want to be alone tonight, meet in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Like last week, Cabanela hasn't bothered to provide anyone with food-- that would just be... rude right now, he thinks. Upon first entering, you'll notice that there are now four lit candles in the center of one of the tables.

Feel free to leave mementos for the dead; it's probably appreciated.]

You catch more- [ahhh] ...yes. That's exactly what I'm doing. Polite, succinct letters.

[rickdiculous]

Not my style, but - you know, it could work. Just - just throw a few bones and make him spit shit out.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Already got a few things out of him. A few of us did.

[...]

But you weren't at the meeting, were you?

[rickdiculous]

Nooopppeee.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Siiigh.]

We think the Conductor's working for someone, or with someone. An organization. That is what I've gotten out of my letters.

[rickdiculous]

N-no shit. That was obvious enough.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Uh-huh. And that he doesn't actually have all that much information about us? He only got what was on our profiles. Nothing about our injuries, nothing about our immediate circumstances from back home.

You figured that one too?

[rickdiculous]

So what you're implying is that good ol' Mr. Trump got us from someone else. Li-like he's some sort of intergalactic babysitter?

[Just ignoring the comment tbh]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[yep okay rick whatever you want]

I used the term "Warden" myself, but sure.

Of course, there's a lot more to ask, to clarify...and I'm trying to get everything out of him that I can. Some of the others are too.

[rickdiculous]

Warden. L-like a prison?

[see that is the key to interaction honestly.

But the term "warden" makes him think for a moment. He wasn't going to reveal this to anyone, especially when it bared the insignia of an organization he knows, but it might be of note.]

Yo. Might be kinda relevant that I woke up in a jumpsuit when I got here.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Congratulations she looks up from her writing.] Uh, definitely relevant! Oh my God, you think... He said he didn't know anything about our circumstances, but- do you think it's got something to do with him? Like, really something to do with him, not just a coincidence?

[Because her whole kidnapping thing, that was a coincidence. A sad, unfortunate, painful coincidence.]

[rickdiculous]

...Yeah. I do.

[Only because he's considered the other option. As cold and logical as his own mind might be, that's...he's not going to consider that. For his own sake.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Then you have to ask him about it! Come on, we could get some real answers here-- or at least something more to put together with everything else! Another piece of the puzzle, if you have a connection to the Conductor outside of all this--!

[calm down slow your roll kid]

[rickdiculous]

Woah. Sheesh. I'll - I'll ask the asshole about it. Keep that social justice fuckery from leaking out.

[Newsflash: He won't.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[???]

The wha...? Look, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of all this. Just tell me if you find out anything helpful, okay? ...Please?

[Of course he won't. Of freaking course he won't. She will look back on this moment days later and wonder why she believed him.]

[rickdiculous]

Yeah, I will.

[Not. He's gonna come to her later with some fake bullshit, but...it's sort of the only thing he's willing to do.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

Good. Thank you.

[Don't you even dare you are going to set her investigations back like a week you disgusting old man.]

[rickdiculous]

N-no problemo.
