[at SOME POINT over the last few days, your character may have run into or been approached by a teenaged boy with cybernetic hands, who is carrying around a bucket full of MYSTERIOUS SILVER FLUID that of course would not be another camper named Cessily Kincaid. no. but she has been missing.

open to anyone who'd be interested/would notice these things. i'm just too lazy to put it up on CFUD. WE'RE BACKDATING FOR ETERNITY, PEOPLE.]

How?

[writing what seems to be a pretty long note and folding the paper in half when she's done]

Will you give this to Cess when she feels better?

No. Why should I?

... because I asked nicely? And then you don't have to remember to tell her anything.

No, seriously, why should I do you any favours at all?

I-I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm worried about Cess and if I give you the note to give to her I won't worry as much.

Again, why do I care?

Because we both care about Cessily.

That doesn't mean I care about you. Who cares if you're worried? I don't.

... I care that you're worried.

Who said I was worried? And I'm still not going to give it to her, and it's insulting how bad you are at manipulating people.

I'm not manipulating you.

You're saying that I should help you because Cess would want it. You're not even good at it.

... that really counts as manipulating someone?

Uh, yeah? You're saying "you should do this thing because I want it and if I'm sad your friend will be".

You're gross.

[folds the note again]

... I'll give it to her later. I'm sorry Hellion. I wasn't trying to do that. I-I don't want to do that.

Of course you were. You just don't want to be called out on it.

... I'll try not to do it again. I promise. And you can tell Cess that I messed up.

Why would I waste my time?

You don't have to. And I won't waste more of your time.

[leans down toward the bucket again]

Bye, Cess. I hope you get better soon and I'll see you then.
