[ America stares at the device for a split second after it comes on, like she's still trying to think of how to word herself. Once she starts, though, she just keeps going. ]

Anyone know a Clara? She's got some umbrella this brat wants back.

That's just a start, though. This kid, with a fox mask, told me some pretty weird things I'm still trying to put together. I feel like Five probably knows more about this than I do.

He said he's got a friend he's mad at. Someone who said there won't be people from here-here much longer. He told me some stuff to get back at him, I guess? But it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The part that did make sense was him saying he, his friend who he didn't name, kind of leaves cast-offs of himself in places to prevent the water from getting him. Anyone know about that, the water chasing someone? Looking for them. The castoffs seem to be allowing him to get away from the water because it goes after them.

[ Look, she's still trying to make sense of a lot of the conversation. Maybe everyone else out there can help her. She's not even bothering to hide this, in her confused tone, and frustration. She also isn't entirely sure how to filter. One-on-one conversations, sure, but not filter. She's bad at filtering her mouth, too. ]

I'm guessing this means we can force his hand to make more cast-offs? I asked if we could stop him, but the kid said we can't. So he wasn't much help with that.

[OOC: PLEASE threadjack, threadjack away as far as I'm concerned, because America has very little insight to what she's been told and needs all the help. The original thread, for ooc purposes, is here since what she interprets might not be the whole of it.]

[ He'd try not to freak her out, but it's something she should look out for after being exposed to him. ]

He's been known to spread it. Something he gets from his mother. [ And now he's hanging around again. ] Before we assumed they were traveling together. If they're separated now, we'll have to deal with him sooner. ...The timing could be better, but maybe it's related to what we've been seeing.

The Huntress. [ He doesn't want to think about how much worse it would be if they combined forces. ] They're estranged since she tried to sacrifice him in a volcano.

...It's fair to say if he's no longer with his friend, he's been left to his own devices. As easy as he is to manipulate, it'll be bad if someone steps in before we do.

He's still got the mentality of a kid, so he reacts... emotionally. If he's not kept in check, he'll either act out or someone will figure out how to use him.

[ That's why Five was in favor of getting rid of him, and would have, if he hadn't fallen victim to his plague. ]

You can see our dilemma. People sympathize too easily with him because of what he looks like.

[ They’re always going to make him be the bad guy, aren’t they? ]

There’s no helping him.

Okay, there's no helping him without putting up sacrifices we don't need to be making. [ You can't solve everything with kindness when you're dealing with a kid who could flip at any moment and kill them all. ]

I'm just saying to be careful about seeking him out.

[ She almost got it right. ]

We shouldn't give him anything. If you see him again, you should teleport out of there the first chance you get.

I don't think you've fully considered the worst that could happen.

You might have a different perspective if you had. There's no benefit worth the risk.

[ He's never getting used to people listening and agreeing with rational choices. It takes him a minute. ]

You don't get sick... now, or ever?

[ That doesn't exactly mean she can't, but it's... notable. ]

...We'd be taking a gamble when it comes to magic. I don't know that I'd be eager to test him, if you can avoid it.

[ She manages to make him hesitate, but it's easier to remember what it was like when he tried to kill the child. It'd be a terrible way to die, and yes he'd know. ]

It's not about being scared, it's about being smart. Even if you're right, what do you expect to happen? He's not the mastermind we're after.
