NPC Inbox: Fear

[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

[Chris really hopes this isn't going to turn out to be a mistake.

He almost uses text, but decides video is probably going to be better as far as making sure he doesn't accidentally piss Fear off or something. Also he probably looks half terrified, so that shouldn't hurt.]

Um... Hi. I-I was--there's something I wanted to ask, if that's okay?

[Hey, he's always happy to see people terrified. Fear smiles, though it's a little too sharp to be friendly.]

Of course. What is it?

[Okay, so far so good, don't think too much about how scary this is.]

O-okay, thanks. Um, my friend disappeared during the blizzard a few months ago, and like... He just showed back up in the arena this month? And he doesn't remember anything between.

Do you know what happened?

I didn't do anything to his memories, if that's what you're asking.

[He tilts his head in thought, the unsettling smile vanishing as he considers it.]

If he was truly gone, then the Door took him- and must have pulled him back again. I thought that it eviscerated people if they went in backwards, but maybe he got lucky.

[There's a pause, and he shrugs.]

Your friend must be a piece of work for the Door to take him twice.

[That's... Actually a really helpful answer.]

Yeah, if anyone could survive going backwards through some deadly portal to another dimension, it's him.

[There are a few more specific questions he could ask, but he thinks that as short as this conversation has been now's a good time to end it, before anything suddenly goes wrong.]

But um, thanks. For answering.

Of course.

[He shrugs.]

I don't see much point in keeping you in the dark.
