[He doesn't seem the slightest bit judgmental, at least. Sometimes you gotta ask questions you know you won't get an answer to just for the sake of your own sanity...]
It'd be nice if someone did, someday. [Maybe they'll end up rolling the right percentage eventually. BUT FOR NOW, he just nods along with that.]
Still... I do think the odds skew in a marginally favorable direction, you know? Takes all sorts, of course! But there are a good number of people here who seem to have clear hearts and heads and strong backs. And if anyone decides to cause too much trouble in the face of attempts at cooperation, then there are people here who would be capable and willing to subdue them, too. [HM.] Though I suppose it's another matter if we get people sneaking around trying to strike deals with demons or something like that, haha.
[WHICH LIKE, POSSIBLE!! And even Just One Person can be enough to fuck everything up, so there's a definite thread of realism intertwined with his optimism here.]
—I think that's pretty likely though, yes. But how closely are we mirroring that group? Exactly so? If that's the case, at least one of those thirteen is willing to help, so it can't be an entirely hostile party, whatever it is they're doing and whoever they are. Assuming they're all part of the same group, of course - which might be too easy.
You know as well as I do that people will get desperate the longer they're here. It's the shitty reality of it all. But I agree there're people to help keep order and maybe that's all we need.
[It's still a precarious sort of situation. Nevertheless, he just hums in thought.]
I think it's more like they're all a part of the same group but they might not know it yet? And it's up to the members of that group to try and sway favor. It's a theory I'm working on and I'm hoping to maybe ask Chuuya or Nathan more about it, but they're still censored on what they can tell us anyway. But it's been weeks by now. Someone's bound to be acting weird or to have heard something different. I keep checking the clamshell to see if there's a change, too. What with the missing and distorted profiles and all.
[Precarious is RIGHT AS WELL, but Wei Wuxian lives on a precarious line in all aspects of his life, so he doesn't seem that outwardly concerned.]
We'll have to wait and see, hm? [Unfortunately.]
Ah, hm. So you think they might know it over time? And what exactly do you think they're trying to sway favor for? Do you think they're another, unrelated party to any of the people and entities we have in play so far? Haha, this is going to get even messier so quickly.
[LIKE. HE WANTS A NAP. But also, it's kind of intriguing in a terrible "I don't actually want to be living through this but okay I guess" way.]
I think so. People who are here for longer and longer are going to start finding out more things they're hiding from the group at large. And anyway...I dunno. More answers? What else would we need favor for? There's always someone who knows more than the main group of people. It's just about knowing who to trust to share that information with.
Haha, oh - absolutely more than I should! [HE SAYS IMMEDIATELY AND WITH A SMILE... At least he's honest.]
It gets tiring, being suspicious of people you're fond of. Though that's not to say I'd be surprised if anyone decided to stab me, especially with demons running around!
[Implying he also just expects the possibility that some completely not possessed person may someday find him irritating enough to just mcmurder.]
[Yeah that implication's loud and clear and he just...shakes his head.] I think there might be some bigger problems than you being annoying.
[Just saying! It's a thought. But on the note of trust...there's another nod.] It's the same for me, actually. I don't trust people that easily and it's even harder here sometimes. But, now that we've been here for a while, it's a little less of a problem.
It's why I'm going to tell you there're some theories I'm working on still. You notes you returned with from your break-in really helped a lot more than you think they might've. So thanks.
[Sometimes, though. Sometimes? People are wild. Watch, he's gonna legit end up killed in some petty scrap that doesn't even have anything to do with demons.
Still, he looks pleased, or something close to it. LIKE, FIRST OF ALL--]
I'd have thrown myself overboard if they weren't of any help at all after the trouble we went through and accidentally put everyone else through, so that's good to hear. Mind if I get a peek at what you're working on, or would you prefer to talk after you've worked a bit more?
[God I hate my tablet for some of those typos. Anyway. He grins lightly because yeah you guys sure had a time, didn't you?]
Give me until Monday or Tuesday? I have some leads to follow up on that I want to clear up and then I can tell you everything you need to know. [i.e. things definitely fucking changed and I'll start a new PC with you Aki I'm sobbing.]
Of course. It'll probably be three in the morning like usual. [A joke but also.] ...I should go find Dick so we can see Escha though. More rounds to make, more things to do. Until then?
[Shh it's fine I'll start and link you something in a bit.]

He does give Junpei a bit of a lingering look at that, though, before humming out a note of agreement.]
Double-edged sword, isn't it? Can't get anywhere without coming to trust and know people.

And even then, can you really know who you can trust? That's the hardest part about games like these. [...] How much do you trust me?
