[one of the familiar shadowy portals opens up on the digital spring wall, and gluttony steps out with a solid click. in one hand, they have a black cane with a crow's head handle. they aren't leaning heavily on it, but they are using it to walk.]
[they sound... kind of irritated? not at sheila, but in general. about being mangled. anyhow, they wave the hand not holding onto the cane dismissively.]
I do not care for tea, but thank you for the consideration, Mrs. Hammond.
You're welcome! I hope you don't mind if I drink something, anyway.
[Not tea, no. But there is presumably hot water here to work with?]
So... I guess I should start with this. Were you listening in on the big meeting on Tuesday? Like, when Yuri name dropped Wrath and said they told him the dead are being eaten.
[Please understand her idea of tea as a zombie is literally to mix in powdered teeth with hot water. It tastes like horchata. This is horrible.]
... Oh, my god. [JUST. CLOSING HER FUCKING EYES.] Fuck! I thought Wrath and I were cool, and then I find out they told someone the fucking boogeyman is eating the dead. And now you have to deal with questions, too! Just to be clear, they meant me— right? I'm the boogeyman?
also, they sort of just look quietly at sheila for a moment or two, glance down at themselves, and then look back up politely. the end of their tail curls up and down. wow, these horns are heavy. sheila's the boogeyman?]
[She is the MILF boogeyman. Boogeymen are a diverse kind. Don't worry about it.
A binch was spiraling and this causes her to stop, though. She pauses. Blinks. Stares.]
... Then, what did they mean? Because if there's something else eating our friends as a source of protein, I think I'd like a heads up before I— Well, I can't have a heart attack. But you get what I mean.
I believe our integrity is safe, Mrs. Hammond. Of course, I cannot vouch entirely for the thoughts of you all, but I am willing to bet there are plenty here who would overlook your dietary needs because they have gotten to know you.
As for the rest of us, I do not think any of the others find you repulsive either.
... That's really nice of you to say. I don't care what everybody else says, you're sweet. I just hope you're right about that. [A binch was truly spared by the fact that nobody checked Room 11 when Luca died. Whew.] Think Wrath is into brownies?
[Because, yeah. She owes an apology now, oh no.]
Knowing it's related is good to know, too. When we find more info, will it be an issue if we run it by you guys?
I've started to notice that, so... makes sense. [Harrow's curse stack this week... Whew.] And these gifs, they don't get recycled after they're used or expire?

How am I be of service, Mrs. Hammond?
no subject
[Considering, uh, their very chewed up limbs on Thursday. She does not mean this in a sarcastic way. Whew.]
Like I said, just a couple of questions. Want to sit down first, though? I can pour us some tea, if that's a thing you can drink.

[servant habits rip. also pride? they have a lot of pride, funny enough.]
Ah, yes. I had at least one of you to come inquire whether or not I was the one eating the dead.

That is something you all will have to find out on your own.
no subject
[So, hm. She may owe Wrath some apology brownies. She drums her fingers against the table, sipping her outside bone tea.]
Is this "something" at all related to why this place is so fucking cursed? Or... do we need to fuck around and find out for that answer, too?
no subject

[their head shakes.]
It is related, but that is all I may say.
no subject

no subject
I believe Wrath enjoys brownies, yes.
[they shake their head.]
Not at all. If you find more information, we would like to hear about it.
no subject
Perfect! Then I'll keep you posted.
[Another sip of her teeth tea. Teath.]
Moving onto another subject... Do you eight all share like, the same pool of powers? You know, the ones you hand out.
no subject
No. We have our own gifts, though... some gifts may seem similar across the board sometimes.
