[Alright. This isn't something he normally does, but everyone else has been so quiet about it that it's starting to drive him a little nuts. So in the true form of someone who can't keep their mouth shut— here's Noel.]

Okay, so. Who else stayed in town when people went out to the desert? I can't be the only one who noticed the people in town acting strange, right?

[He frowns a little, thoughtfully crossing his arms over his chest.] It was like they couldn't figure out what to do with themselves, but even when I ask them what happened, they look at me like I'm crazy. [Which he's not. Right??] Like they don't even remember it happening.

Anyone else notice anything strange happening back then? And for everyone who went out to the desert— anything strange happen with people out there? Anything see anything like that happen since you got back?

[He's about to cut it there, no introduction, no nothing, but he pauses to add:] Thanks.

building stuff? just weapons, or other things too?

[opheliac]

i can build almost anything as long as i got tools, materials, and a rough blueprint.

[oracledriven]

oh yeah? you ever think of using that ability for good, instead of [oh gods he hates to use this word but--] chaos? there's plenty of buildings that could use a helping hand around here

[opheliac]

but i enjoy watching everyone squirm and sweat.

besides nothing good comes out of being good.

[oracledriven]

you don't really believe that do you?

[opheliac]

i dont tell lies. its bad for the skin.

[oracledriven]

didn't ask if you were lying

it takes a lot of work to convince yourself something like that is true

[opheliac]

u think so? people are usually shit and only looking out for themselves.
u do a good deed for them and thats great and all!
but when the two of u are backed into a corner and it comes down to u or them on who survives, guess who gets sacrificed?

heres a hint: NOT THEM!
