It. . . would have been disconcerting to me, to think you had devised that. But it is also disconcerting to imagine it could come to be without your input.
Oh, very well. You know, I shall be very cross if I ever come to learn that there isn't some grander purpose behind these vague pronouncements. But I will accept it for now.
[Well, she isn't about to interrupt this. She'll sit listening to the song - lovely as always, calming her a little, making her feel a little melancholy. When they're (they, because this song isn't a specific reference or anything) done, she's quiet for a moment.]
. . .Oh. The polaroids. We found items we think may belong to some of you.
[She'll show them the picture of the crystal, cat toy, bear, and dagger?]
[haha, yeah, what? just picked a random violin song]
Lemme see. [... they actually put the violin down.] -- Oh, shit, yeah, those do belong to us. It's kind of obvious if you think about which one might belong to which?
Like, uh, who do you know that has crystals? Cats? Who is the most likely to like cute stuffed animals? Who is the most likely to use a dagger?
We found them in the place we were transported to.
[. . .]
I suspect the cat toy is Gluttony's, but I don't see why I ought to run errands for them. The crystal I thought might belong to Despair? [The rest of these. . . she's not so sure about.] None are yours?
None of them are mine, but uh, like. You really can't think of who would use a dagger? [they sound kind of amused.] The stuffed animal thing is kind of hard, I guess.
I could. You could also just tell me who they belong to, as I've things to do.
[I appreciate this NPC lost item game but Harrow does not.]
I'm more curious how you managed to lose your belongings in a place that, if Gluttony is to be believed, you didn't know existed and couldn't sense us in.
You don't now, but. [they kick at the floor.] Maybe you'll find the hat I'm missing at some point.
[they glance up.] Anyway - nah, I haven't. Gluttony sort of half-assed mentioned it but I didn't ask for details, and I'm not gonna press you for any, but. Based on what I heard, I have not a single ding-dang clue as to what happened to you guys.
[She wants to find that hat, now? It's in some kind of vore hell zone, but she wants to find it. Anyway.]
. . . That's very thoughtful of you. But you may press. I think it better, that the Avatars understand fully what happened in case it happens again. I thought to speak to Gluttony, given the relationship of the events to their sin, but instead I came to learn that Gluttony is the nastiest skank abomination I have ever met and you should not trust them.
Skank abomination is - oh, boy, that is exactly it. I wouldn't trust them either. [...] Okay, so uh - so tell me what happened, then? If you want. I can try to see if I have any ideas.
She sits, just as she did before, and crosses her arms in her lap. It was easy, with Gluttony, to be dispassionate, because she didn't expect Gluttony would care how she felt about any of it. But she'll try the same again.]
We were transported to another place entirely. It was some sort of building intended for giants - the furniture was as tall as two of I, and we had to climb about to get anywhere. As we progressed, we became increasingly cold and hungry.
We came across. . . a child. [A little more shaky here.] She was wearing a bag over her head. She became attached to us, seemingly, and began to help us make our way towards the exit. She was very strong and powerful. We came across a feast of giants, devouring a table of meats, fighting one another for scraps of flesh. Some of them had the appearance of enormous, fattened versions of familiar people. One of them. . .
[She pauses again here. How to explain this, exactly?]
I suppose you're aware that I have a condition, and occasionally it results in fainting spells. [Or rather, she has a self-inflicted brain injury related to any memory of a certain person.] I was injured when I happened to faint and a giant thought to devour me, but the child came to my aid.
We escaped out into the cold, and then into a school. Inside the school was another creature - a facsimile of a woman with a long snake for a neck. We drew her attention and she came after us, but we were able to kill her.
And then. . . we crawled through the vents to another room. [This is where the clipped explanation stops working. Instead, her voice is low and angry, sickened.] The hunger we had been feeling became. . . all-consuming. We were weakened, barely able to continue. Ravenous, to the degree that we would have eaten anything before us, like those sickening giants at the table.
And the child gave us her hand, and a voice. . . bade us grant, or offered, mercy.

[Because she likes all of her Avatars with certain exceptions, but the bounce house wasn't exactly Gluttony's aesthetic.]
It was cruel.
no subject
[they say, and it's like - way more serious than usual.]
It wasn't really any of our ideas. It just... happened.
no subject
Why did it take that form?

I know it picked Endorsi because she'd be the best match for Beauregard.

And for the stuffed animal, I couldn't say. Sloth? I haven't spoken to them a great deal.

You could always try talking to them to figure it out. They're a sweetheart.

as for the rest, they kick their feet back and forth absently.]
I'm wondering that too. This place screws with us as much as it does you guys, you know.

I didn't say I wouldn't bring you your items, but it seems I don't have any for you.
Have you ever been transported somewhere that way?
