[round 4] ~WEB COMMUNICATIONS~

If you need to talk to the Stewards, speak near a spider and a cobweb will appear, projecting the voice of whichever one deigns to answer...

Or you could just go track one of them down like a normal person.

cw because this steward is kind of a pig

Uh... I guess? Not that it matters. I was born for Big Sis. I don't give a SHIT about normal humans.

And I get what you're saying, but it's whatever. Her kind lives long too. But obviously she's awesome.... powerful... and fuckin' hot! That's why we follow her. [He may rightfully assume that the younger steward is in fact the only one with that last particular reason for following her.] She's a commander and a matron... and she knows exactly how to pull people's strings.

Someone who creates life would have to be all of those things, wouldn't she?

[This is either going to blow up in his face or keep the brat talking and he doesn't know which. Might as well just go all in, just in case it doesn't work.]

But I'm not sure I understand. If you're solely hers, and not a normal human, are we who were brought here the same as you now?

[15unknowns]

The differences are strictly individual. Maybe it's just cause you're from different worlds. You're clinging to some shitty memories, instead of accepting your lives here... I was born in this world. Don't really remember what it was like before, it was a long fucking time ago.

[yonosoymaria]

It's that we weren't born here, I think, we grew up clinging to memories to tell us who we were. If you didn't, you're lucky. When you put it that way... just leave John out of any plans you have to ruin my reputation now that I'm gone, and... I have no reason to go back, he never wants to see me again and I've got no one waiting for me there.

[He's pleased to hear this.]

Heh. Well then! Maybe I can do you one better........ if I feel like it. I think you'll fit in just fine.

[yonosoymaria]

Just... just keep it in mind. Thank you.

[He doesn't walk away, but leans back against the wall, and slides slowly down.

What kind of devil's bargain has he just gotten himself offered?]
