-- Incoming ... ❝ i refuse to play the role of a pawn in someone else’s corrupt game. ❞ @cherrygame (Re: Elena) From, accepting.
HE NEARLY SMILES AT THE NOTION, but manages to keep his expression in check. everyone at Nevermore is looking to see which piece they are, what part they'll play in the games to come. they don't even know whose board they're on, let alone which role they've been given. ALL WILL BE REVEALED when the time comes. ❝ no yeah, exactly. screw that. ❞ holed up here at the Weathervane, it's been so easy to slip himself into the mix -- gain their trust.
Outcasts recognize outcasts (sort of) it lowers their guard, if only slightly. he's always played this part well. the mild-tempered barista willing to lend an ear or a look of understanding. A LONG - DEAD VERSION OF HIMSELF. he wears his old face sometimes, peeling the skin back with ease.
the mask of a normie always makes them more comfortable. ❝ maybe i can help, you know- ❞ the offer is spoken low, CONSPIRATORIAL IN NATURE as he nonchalantly refills her empty mug. ❝ figure out whose pulling the strings. ❞ all while plucking at his own. those he controls & the ones controlling him.
