Hey, every one of us glorious abductees! A question, to those listening right now, brought to you by myself and Master Archeval due to the considerations of a friend, but: what would you make of being informed that, and here I'm quoting, "The man you trust was six years not among us?"

( A dramatic pause, for digestion purposes. )

All said and done, with that message slipped to me, I can say with certainty there's a handful I fully trust here, and there's none I trust entirely from here, no offense. However, there is one we've been forced to trust, ah? In hearing these words, what are your thoughts?

( why would he know about that guy, specifically, huh five )

That's slightly less caustic than usual, Xiao Five.

[ Maybe because the ward on the door makes it pretty easy to forget about that guy. ]

We're not short on problems.

[weifinder]

( When you use wards like this... )

Life's usually like that, yes. Had anything you've enjoyed at all, lately, though? Anything you prefer eating? Drinking?

[ ... Have you been talking to Wangji about his weird obsession for his wellbeing, because he swears he's had enough of that. ]

You don't have to worry about me.

[weifinder]

It'd be convenient to not, but by track records, even the jerks in a given group are people I'm concerned with doing well, up to about the point of them actively back stabbing, which so far everyone gets a congratulatory pat on the shoulder for refraining from!

[somebadnews]

[ ...is he calling him a possibly-backstabbing jerk, he can't tell... ]

What track records are you talking about?

[weifinder]

Personal ones. Here no one's managed to pull a full betrayal yet, but hey, we're only a little over two months into this madness!

[somebadnews]

In that case, I appreciate the concern.

[ Don't trust anyone, don't get betrayed. It's that simple. ]
