( HUNTERS - WEEK 3 )

[abhoth]

For this week, there will be no sudden loss of control for those who have signed their souls away for the greater good. As long as they're in the Curio Shop by 6:05 PM on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. All they must do is knock on the shop's door, carefully as if to not draw attention towards themselves, and the door will creak open by itself much like the previous week. As per usual, inside this strange room they'll find Craftly seated at a round table. Shelves of antiques line the walls and the smell of peppermint tea wafts through the air. A thin tendril slips across the table from Craftly's sleeve, hooking around his cup of tea. As smug as ever, he smiles to the group. "Come in, Hunters. It's time for us to begin". Welcome, Hunters! As of this week, you'll get the chance to either investigate one other character or arm them with a randomized weapon. If you have any questions, you can shoot us a quick PP or PM as always!

...Craftly-san, do you have meetings like this with anyone other than us?

[SHE'S PARANOID]

[abhoth]

No, I do not. I would rather not risk my own neck anymore than I am, miss. I am your host and must oblige to the requests of our guests, but never am I forced to meet with them.

[thawedheart]

[Normally that would earn him a smile and a thank-you; this week, it earns him a level look and a small nod.]

...I see. I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't want to put yourself in danger.

[abhoth]

You all are risking an incredible amount and I, well, despite my lack of things to bargain with, there are a few I hold dearest to my heart.

[ He looks a bit solemn, but, looks up. ]

This coup is unlike anything going on at the time, if that is what you truly wished to ask.

[thawedheart]

...are there?

[That's... curious. She would like to know more, but... She's also hesitant to ask. What if he decides he's telling her too much? What if he decides to out them to whatever is really in control there, to save his own skin?]

Would you know if anyone else started to plan something? A group like this, I mean.

[abhoth]

Yes.

[ He leaves it at that! ]

Most occasions, yes. There are times when alliances grow close to the double digits, but those — those have always ended in betrayal. You have only one group to contend to, I suggest you keep your "eyes on the prize", as they say.

...

[She nods. For now, she'll let it be, but she'll be back if she has any other paranoid questions!]
