"Pure Vanilla Cookie"... I've heard this name before too. Hmm... if you say he could help us, I shall try to find a way to reach him.

If only it were that simple. DWC's location is now unknown to me, and fighting whoever that is without knowing their full potential could be disastrous. I need to know what exactly we're dealing with in order to successfully remove the threat without any complications. I want to fight as much as you want to, but we can't go into a fight blind. I hope you can understand my concerns.

Creature: *They sigh, knowing that the figure was right. Not everybody can be trusted. They certainly didn't trust Sylvester, but... the creature wonders again about the possibility of him changing for good. Perhaps Jay was right too. Maybe Sylvester just needs patience. But at the same time, the creature doesn't want Jay to get hurt either. They know he had too many close calls. They shake their head, trying to remove their wandering thoughts.* maybe I should try to talk to him... *They think out loud as they watch Sylvester again, but they don't move for a while.*

(LOL)

Yes, I've taken refuge in the void for the time being.

It is alright. If I can't think of a better plan, we will use that one.

Creature: You seem like you're more knowledgeable than me... so in this case, yes. I do trust you.

Creature: *They hesitate for a moment before asking,* Do you believe... that he could actually change? For the better?

Creature: My purpose is to protect. Though, I'm not very good at it I must admit. I've only just realized that I'm starting to sympathize with the enemy, and for that I'm ashamed. *The creature confesses, looking down at their feet.*

Much appreciated Retro The Mummy.

No worries, hope everything get better for you

Creature: ask him? *They repeat, surprised at the question.* I'm not so sure about that. I mean, he probably won't want to tell me anyway, considering he's not too fond of me. *the creature sighs softly.*

Hmm... I'm unsure... I feel that he may know when he's walking into a trap... since I've heard that he's a master of deceit. However, holding one of his minions hostage isn't a bad idea.

(They as in the creature)

Creature: I suppose so... *They say, but they don't seem convinced that that's the case. They don't say anything more, and just keep watching Sylvester with a concerned look.*

Creature: Oh wait, I see him now. I just want to make sure he's not doing... anything... bad... what the...? *they narrow their eyes as if straining to see something.* it appears he's gone even more insane than he already is. He's currently acting out some kind of scene by himself... but he has no audience, he's just alone.

Creature: yes... wait- *they stiffen, and their eyes start to dart wildly in different directions.* where did he even go?

Oop

Sylvester: *he ignores the figure, the portal finishes opening and he floats right into it, and the portal closes right behind him.*

Creature: I'm concerned for... various reasons. It's unclear to me what I should be feeling right now. *They shift around nervously.*

Oh, you have? Excellent. Do you already have an idea of how you could bait him? Or shall we try to think of something together?
