That's good. Well, if you want to do a mutually terrible job of minding our own business, I'm in my sketchy lair.

No pressure; I can always go chasing complicated and dangerous birds by myself.

[ hangs up ]

[

You insufferable fuzzy ball of cat shit, fuck you ]

[ JOKE'S ON BLOOD FIEND!!!! HE'S TAKING A NAP!!!!! ]

[

[ KICKS IN THE DOOR OF THE CONTROL ROOM TEN MINUTES LATER ]

[ he was lounging on the windowsill. sits up. ]

You never get to accuse me of not minding my business again.

[ how's Minuet looking today? all good??? ]

Her name's Hope.

[ What the fuck is he talking about ]

[ with a look that clearly says "you look like shit, by the way" ]

Her name's Hope.

How much do you know?

[ furi: exactly how much fuckin around and finding out have you done, Blood Fiend ]

I know that she's buried under an entire star-destroying hivemind that wants nothing more than total oblivion.

She called for help. So I found her... for a second, at least.

...

It was exhausting. Seems like you found her for longer than I did.

. . . She's trapped in there.

They all seem to mesh, except her. It's like they locked her up.

... It's a terrible and risky idea to try to save her, you know.

Didn't say anything about any ideas.

[ lmao ]

I know. But like I said, I'm going to go look for her. Not now, but... at some point.

So if you ever do get any terrible and risky ideas... working together wouldn't hurt, right?

[ . . . ]

Kind of a venture outside of your comfort zone, isn't it? Working together.

I've done it before.

[ very, very casually ]

Those guys all died, though. So don't die. It's inconvenient.

[ MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]

No time for that. Still got a lot of shit to do.

[ . . . ]

Have you done it before? Working together.

Yup.

[ Doesn't elaborate ]

Alrighty then, what's the extent of your psychic abilities? 'Cause there's no dealing with them without that.

Here? I can pull on mental hooks that already exist. Make them bigger, in a sense. That's how I exhausted myself the other day.

... It should be full mind control, but I'm limited here. I wonder if my natural resistance still works, though...

[ shoots Minuet a Look ]

I haven't had a chance to test that in isolation. Could be worth a try.

You?

[ "Full mind control" no thanks stay nerfed ]

I can't control people or whatever, but if I'm in physical contact with someone, I can connect our minds. That's how I entered their shared consciousness last night.

[ And probably why he has the Perci deets that he does ]

... So if I make the 'Hope' part of the birds bigger, it should be easier for you to reach her, right? Theoretically.

. . . Maybe.

She used some kind of power to help me get out of there in one piece. If making her personality stronger against the other minds works how I'd expect it to, it may make it safer to actually get her out, too.

Mmmm. Did you see her use any of the Weeds' powers? Rain is... well, rain, and I can handle gravity fine, but the shadow ability could make things tricky if we want to keep her in one place.

I don't actually know what any of 'em can do besides make you tell the truth.
