[It's incredible that the gods never found them out, really.]

Oh well good I'm glad youve had a change of heart on that front.

[If he's being super duper honest, he is just now remembering that argument they had over the network. That's right, she was super against helping Name back then. Huh.]

Lol step one of manipulation is gaining trust and looks like he's failed step one.
Thing is I don't get what any of them would have to gain by lying about what happened with all of that.
Ok they dont want the town to hate them but apologizing would be an easier and more effective way to achieve that.

I would have believed 'lumberjack ghosts did it' more than 'the gods did it' tbh.

But hm... shit kinda happened back home and it made me think about it in a different way.
I've got a theory, maybe, but you're not allowed to call me stupid if you think it's dumb.

I'd be more willing to seriously consider the god conspiracy theory if they had any actual evidence other than crap thats just factually false.
Lol ok deal. No promises I won't call the theory stupid though. What is it?

Okay, you can call it stupid, but don't be mean about it.

So, you know about back home for me, yeah? The zombies and shit. There was one I met, he calls himself R. He pretty much saved my life, but the more time I spent with him the more he started changing. Like... being near me was doing something to him.

It was like he started coming back to life. Like he was connecting with something beyond just being Dead and eating people.

But that's not the theory. He was passing it on to others. Dozens of them. They were fascinated by him and by us. What if what happened to Name could be passed back to the rest of the Null? It talks about it like an infection, so what if it could infect the rest of them?

[...Hm.]

I mean I'll be honest that theory uhh well I don't know how likely it is but it's also not impossible?
I guess its sympathy for us might be caused by some Null equivalent of a computer virus. That could definitely pass between Null processors especially since they're all connected via hivemind network. The virus would have to spread since they're all in contact all the time.
You might be onto something here actually.

I'm pretty sure I saw a Star Trek episode like that once.

But hey I was totally prepared for you to say it sounded dumb as hell. Nice.
Do you think it would know?

Maybe? Wouldn't hurt to ask it.
It'd be way too risky to start experimenting with it though especially without the gods around.

Yeah fair point.
Wonder where they are.

[Is she trying to get info out of him??? He can't tell. He has a feeling she wouldn't be that nefarious, but, well. They were just talking about manipulation. Sue him for having suspicion on the brain.]

For the record I wonder that too. I don't know who has it these days. I don't even know who all was

[Wait.]

Youuuuu totally meant the gods didn't you yeah I wonder where they are too.

Yeaaaaah I meant them.

Are you okay..?

YEP yeah fine. I thought you were asking me where Name is and I legitimately have no idea.
But that doesn't matter so anyway Idk why they wouldn't have teleported in with us but I mean they'll be here soon probably? They can't just be like gone gone.

Nah I wouldn't ask you that.

Maybe using the Door to port us threw them off course. Maybe they went to the other planet?

Yeah maybe. They couldve wound up anywhere I guess.
It's a good sign that the city's here in one piece though. I don't think we lost anyone along the way.

Shame. I can think of a few people we could have done without.

Hmm. Too catty?
