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.]

That's it for the music, yeah.

But. Now that I have your attention!
What's your favorite color?

[lingeringfear]

Why do you want to know?

text

[hasitsthorns]

I guess I should have expected you to be suspicious
it's just for a thing that I'm doing

[ So specific. ]

A secret thing.
You don't have to tell me, of course, but if you don't I'm gonna assume a color and you might not like it
which would suck because I want ya'll to like it

[lingeringfear]

I don't care about surprises.

[hasitsthorns]

[ The hottest pink she can manage then, alright. ]

Not unless they're scary surprises, huh?
That's cool.
Just makes it more fun for me. Get to be creative.

[lingeringfear]

Only when they're used on other people.

I'd rather you didn't.

text

[hasitsthorns]

Right.
Well, I'll keep that in mind since I do love a good prank.
Not the same as genuine fear but fear is fear is fear, right?

See, there's a lot of things I'd rather you guys didn't do too.
So it seems fair that I'm gonna' do it anyway.

[lingeringfear]

Exactly.

You know that I could stop you.

text

[hasitsthorns]

You could.
But are you really going to waste the energy smiting me over a little fun surprise?

text

[lingeringfear]

Don't underestimate the effort I can put into being petty.

text

[hasitsthorns]

Guess I won't.
And I guess we'll see.
