[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 1 - 𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑮 𝑰𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑬, 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀!]

Greetings, NEW FRIENDS! My name is Philihp, and it's only ever been me and my trusty helmet down here in the dark. Until you people came along, of course! It's nice to know there are still... well... people! 'Normal, alive people.'

What do you mean I talk to the fleas? There are no fleas? WHICH ONE IS IT???!! ... Wait. Sorry. Hold on. I think I heard one. Or maybe that was the pipes. Ignore them.

... it used to be a lot cleaner here before. Hmm.. doesn't matter! I've got canned food. Plenty of canned food. Water. Umm... my helmet keeps me safe. It has never lied to me. If you hear scratching, it's probably the ventilation. Or the rats. No, wait... Nevermind.

Feel free to ask me anything! I don't get visitors very often. I don't get visitors at all. Unless you're counting the ones that disappear in the cat-sized holes. Those don't count. So please stay for a while. I am lonely.

-... Ah well. At least You've been able to tell Me a bit about Him, even if He won't do so to Me Himself-

-thankyou for being such a good sport about all this by the way. Not everyone enjoys My little games. Some even refuse them on nothing but 'principle' alone-

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 47 - 𝒀𝑶𝑼'𝑹𝑬 𝑻𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑴𝑬 𝑯𝑬 𝑫𝑰𝑫𝑵'𝑻 𝑫𝑶 𝑨𝑵𝒀𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑮?]

"...A good sport? Oh!"

He scratched the side of his helmet.

"Well... thank you. I don't really mind questions. I've spent a LOT of time with things that don't ask any. And besides, yours are interesting... even when you ask him. He doesn't SEEM to mind, either... right? See? That's a YES. But I DO have one problem."

He pointed accusingly at no one in particular.

"You said you learned things about him from MY answers... that means I'm doing a TERRIBLE job keeping secrets."

He gasped dramatically.

"Helmet! I've betrayed you!"

"... he says it's FINE... or he's disappointed in me... it's difficult to tell sometimes. Either way, I suppose you can keep asking... if you figure out what makes me tick, you might have to tell me too."

[gone-philihp-city]

-If You think I'm Cheating at this little game, You are perfectly free to Cheat right back. As for Who I'm trying to figure Out... Why not both? Though I will try something new. Instead of asking You the Question...-

-Hey Helmet. This question is for You directly. You there?-

-XV

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 46 - 𝑾𝑬𝑳𝑳?]

Philihp stared and tapped at the helmet for a few minutes.

"It... he heard you. Go on, helmet!"

He just kind of sits there.

[gone-philihp-city]

heehee

uuhhm yeah

[gone-philihp-city]

what is your opinion on dogs and rats?

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 45 - 𝑰𝑺 𝑰𝑻 '𝑹𝑨𝑰𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑫𝑶𝑮𝑺 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑺'?]

"They're... okay? Well, I've SEEN them. A few, headless. Ummm... why are you asking? Is there a dog? Is there a rat? ... are you a dog? ... are you TWO RATS?"

[gone-philihp-city]

-ooh, YES! Someone who Asks why I Ask. Its great when the tables are turned & I'm suddenly the One under scrutiny. I do so because its all part of the Fun! In picking Others apart & finding out just what makes them tick. A Puzzle stops being fun once You finish it, but People are Puzzles that can never be completed-

-There's things to be learned in Everything. Especially in Lies. Especially in what One tries to Hide-

-Something I learned from Your last Response? You referred to Your Helmet in ferric Terms this time, instead of calling It 'It'. ♂ Iron. 'His' Voice. It could be a misdirection, or a misspeak, but whatever it is, its something-

-And while proof can be a very useful thing, often times, it can be... Completely Unnecessary-

-XV

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 44 - 𝑯𝒊𝒎.]

...

"...Oh. You noticed that. Of COURSE you noticed that."

He rubbed the back of his neck.

"I don't usually call it HE... I don't think. It's always just been... helmet."

He hesitated. His voice dropped.

"... but sometimes... he's HIM. I don't know why."

...

"Wait. You said people are puzzles. That means I'M the puzzle right now! ... I don't know whether I like that... I kind of like that."

He grinned despite himself.

"But you're cheating!"

He waved his paws indignantly.

"You've got all my answers, and I've only got your questions! ... actually..."

His expression became thoughtful.

"That's not entirely true. You told me something about yourself. You like figuring people out."

His paw tapped against the helmet.

"And now I know you're very, VERY observant... so here's my question. Are you trying to figure out ME..."

His paw rested gently against the helmet.

"...or HIM?"

[ENTRY 40 - PLEASE STOP THE TORTURE]

“AAAH!!! GARGLE GARGLE!!! We don’t have access to bathrooms!!!”

[gone-philihp-city]

-I never claimed to have Heard It. I only asked if You would Believe Me. Its Voice may be for You & You Alone- -XV

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 39 - 𝑶𝑯𝑯𝑯, 𝑯𝑨𝑯𝑨]

"... oh. That's..."

He glanced at his helmet.

"... actually a very good point.. that's sneaky."

He looked at the helmet again. It said nothing. Philihp's ears drooped.

"... this is why I don't like questions with questions inside them. But... I think I'd believe you."

He tapped the side of his helmet.

"Because I've heard it. Other people haven't. ... at least, nobody's ever told me they have."

"...You know. If his voice really IS only for me.. then you wouldn't actually have any way to prove whether you're telling the truth... would you? That's kind of clever. So… why ask?"

[gone-philihp-city]

-Would You Believe Me if I said It DID say something?-

-signed: XV-

[𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑹𝒀 38 - ...]

...

"Yes."

...

"Actually, I WOULD."

He looked around the bunker.

"...Because it DID."

He glanced at the helmet. The helmet remained perfectly still.

"...You HEARD it?" What did it say? Because if you're asking ME... 'XV.'.. then you already know something."

A nervous smile returned.

"That's not very fair, you know."

He tapped the side of his helmet.

"It's usually the one with all the secrets... unless you've met it before. ... have you?"

[gone-philihp-city]

So. What's the deal with Your Helmet?

[𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘 37 - 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐌𝐄𝐓? 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄?!]

"... what's the deal with my HELMET? Well. It's my helmet. ... that's the deal. Heh."

...

"Very important helmet. Very trustworthy. Keeps me safe. See, I 'found' it a long time ago. Or... it found me. It was a long time ago. I'm not supposed to take it off, so, I don't. Ever. I don't remember who told me that ... it tells me things. Usually useful things. I don't think it's supposed to work like that, but it keeps me company."

"... why? Did it say something?"

[gone-philihp-city]

[𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘 36 - 𝐖𝐎𝐖...]

"Oh, yes siree. Watch out for the fleas. And the boils. Heh."
