Gordon is nervous, and heads for the stairs, speaking a bit loudly so the team can hear.

I-it’s uh- it’s been a long day so- so i’m just gonna head to bed- 

Tommy was closer to the stairs than the others, and he grabbed Gordon’s arm so he could at least try to talk to him. 

No. N-No, you kn-know what? I’m done. You need- You need to talk about this, this is get- it’s ab-absolutely ridiculous.

T-Talk about what? There’s n-nothing to-

Gordon i-if you say one more word of that- of that sentence.

!

Y-You’ve got to face it at some- at some point. I-If you keep dodg- dodging it, you’re gonna regret i-it. You did before, an-and don’t tell me you d-didn’t. You have- have a second chance here. Don’t- Don’t waste it.

He lets go of Gordon, who stands there for a moment watching him, then looking back to the others, before ascending the stairs without another word.

God dammit n-none of these bastards have a- have a single braincell between them. I got- gotta do all the thinking a-around here.

I don’t know what you’re muttering about but doll boy here fell asleep. Also Coomer and I are going home, we’ll meet up with you guys at the fest tomorrow.

Ok B-Bubby. I’ll handle Benrey, see- see you guys tomorrow.

I don't know if we really can share a lot, since we don't know a lot about it. :(

Like I s-said, that’s fine, just sh-share what you- what you do know, and what you l-learn in the future!

the "the VESSEL??" ask wasn't from me, but that was essentially what i was trying to say- i lag behind sometimes, sorry! -bluescreen

That’s fi- fine! As l-long as the quest- the question is answered in th-the end.

[bones-and-boxes]

Not quite sure on how to make it not worried or shy or whatever it is. Unfortunately any information we may have figured out is very limited, much like our interactions.

Al-alright... well, an-any information helps, esp- especially in making- making the vessel.

[bones-and-boxes]

m,,,maybe 👉👈,,,,it was scared of u :( -🕷️

Ah... th-that... could be the- the case... 

How c-can I convince it not to- not to be...

[bones-and-boxes]

We're just guessing, we don't actuawy know anything abowt it (´⊙ω⊙`) ~Furry Anon

If y-you say so.

[bones-and-boxes]

The VESSEL??????

The vessel!

I-I am going to assume th-that this connects to the ‘real-really’ from bluescreen, and say- and say yes, I can in fact make a v-vessel for it using i-its sprites.

[bones-and-boxes]

maybe we can to talk to it later? -bluescreen

Y-You’ve been talking to- talking to it and not tell- not telling me, haven’t you.
