NPC Inbox: Fear

[lingeringfear]

[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.]

It is something you've never seen.

[He's reserved in his answer because this has been a very exposing conversation already. Fear doesn't know what conclusions Sharon may have drawn from this, but whatever they are, it can't be good.]

I'm sure that you won't believe me, but we are an inherently peaceful species. What came for us was something that we could not have prepared for.

We are waiting. Hope is bolstering our numbers, I am gathering power. That is enough for you to know.

[ She doesn't like his answer. It's clear he doesn't want to give away too much. Whatever is coming, whatever it may be, it won't end well for them. ] What will happen when it comes? What will it do to you? What about us?

You've brought us into this shit, Fear. You don't have any reason to trust me, and I don't have any reason to trust you, but I somehow have this really shitty feeling that the only way I'll survive any of this is to put my fucking faith in you.

It's an unfortunate feeling, isn't it? Having to put your faith in a being you don't trust.

[Two sides, same coin, etc etc. He doesn't answer the other questions- this has been enough for now.]

Thank you for your time in my temple, Sharon.

[ God damn it. She frowns at the phone. ]

Can we do it again sometime?

Maybe.

I'm sure I've given you some things to think on. Enjoy your afternoon, Sharon.
