<stocke> backdated to earlier in march, sorry about that ;;
according to what i got from tikbalang he's the key
the rest of the group use him to translate old texts with spells and secrets for fighting monsters
taking him out of the picture won't make them lose what they already have but they shouldn't be able to get more
if we trust his word he's 16
the mask he wears glows green and is somewhat bird-like but it's no hardship to change masks
as far as i can tell he's not on the best of terms with the rest of the group
he's been barred from the network before and he's spent some time hiding with a monster as well
last i saw him he had a new weapon
a skeletal dog
if you find yourself confronting him don't let it touch you - it kills on contact
<redthrone> that's cool, happens to us all
do you know anyone whos met this frank guy before? i mean if he hid with a monster once there must be someone who knows who it was
and i mean if theres a chance to get him on our side and stop the bloody bones or whatever from pulling anything else like that thing at the start of the year then im down for it
also ill keep the dog thing in mind, thanks
<stocke>
i've seen him
but not on peaceful terms
i'm looking into the monster he hid with
<redthrone>
do you have a name or anything yet or are you just looking for leads
<stocke>
not hard if you check the network back a few months
<redthrone>
maybe i saw it back then but didnt connect the dots
did they say why they did it at least
<stocke>
i can't say the sentiment doesn't sound nice [- all thoughts of revenge aside. Stocke's itching to take out a grudge, but on the Bloody Bones as a whole, not Frank in particular.]
but i'm not optimistic
the bloody bones have good reason to hunt us
and they've shown they don't care about collateral damage
moral questions aren't likely to be their priority
[...]
she's also claimed frank saved her life once
[Which is a bit more puzzling.]
<redthrone>
i believe people can change because ive done it myself, but that gang doesnt look like theyre planning on listening to the other side of things anytime soon
what they did back in january proved that beyond a doubt, that endangered just as many humans as monsters
...
wait, really?
did she mention circumstances or did she just drop that with no explanation and expect everyone to believe it
<stocke>
but also that he didn't attack her when he found out she wasn't
[Which is the bit he's surprised by.]
<redthrone>
i mean there were people in vandare being huge jerks to the newbies last month and they hadnt changed at all, theyd barely been here a few hours
i mean, maybe it is worth looking into this guy if we cant find an explanation for why hed do that
<stocke>
but if someone's been here longer than a few days they can blend in with the natives
doesn't change that i'd expect him to react after he knew
[...]
easiest explanation that comes to mind is he wanted an in with the monsters
easier to trick one than all of us and he did get shelter out of it
[At the same time...]
but he does seem on the outs with the rest of them
[So conclusions are all kinda up in the air.]
<redthrone>
the fact that he didnt react to finding out what she was does make it sound like he was trying to get in with us but obviously it hasnt really gone anywhere
even if he hadnt been mentioned in the book hed be worth looking into, what a weird dude
at least by the standards of the humans here
<stocke>
[Well, whichever it is:]
i'll be keeping an eye out
and i'll try to speak to the one who sheltered him
[And as for what Flame Princess does with the information he gave her, that's up to her.]
<stocke> hope sliding in here unexpectedly is ok!
<redthrone> it is super ok
liars are the worst but how the stuff does anyone tell whos been replaced
no subject
[...]
might be simpler to find their hideout
i've heard nymphs have a rapport with plants
would it make any difference if you tried to search the woods ?
no subject
theres a lot of woods on this peninsula but i could definitely try looking into the ones most convenient for something like this
see if the trees have any whispers for me
what about you
no subject
the man's supposed to have come through them walking back
and he says he wasn't gone longer than a day
how much of the forest is within reach of a human's walking pace in a single day ?
[...]
i'm keeping humans off the nest
[It's been getting worse, as days pass. Nothing like what he hears from Bavan, thankfully - and those natives that live near the Nest have hesitantly decided to trust that there're no face-thieves among them. But those from a bit further off...]
but if there's ground only a shade can cover
let me know and i'll be there to cross it
no subject
and within reach of an injured humans walking pace though if he was desperate that evens things out
whats the nest [She's not familiar enough with Vandare to have heard of it, despite how long she's been here.]
ill tell you if i find anything like that then
no subject
my place of employment
appreciate it
i'll owe you
no subject
i dont think ive heard of it is it in vandare or something
its no problem dude
i just want everyone to come through this okay
no subject
near [Insert place here. It... it doesn't sound like a good part of town...]
thank you nonetheless
[...]
be careful
if you do end up near their lair they'll be looking for you as much as you are them
no subject
im only really around vandare when newbies come anyway the volatility hits kinda close to home
i will
at least in the forest i might have an advantage
no subject
if i hear about something else here i'll let you know
no subject
sure, if i find anything ill contact you too
