TINY CAT PEOPLE: THE MAZE TRIALS

[skinstealer]

 

SEE: Full of himself sounds about right…
SEE: I met him recently and it went, uh-
SEE: Kind of…
 

You channel your knowledge of gaming to find the right words.

 
SEE: Sus. 
TODD: Sus, huh? How so?
 

You've got this.

 
SEE: Well, he lied about his "total playtime" to a "noob"-
SAMSON: What? What are you even-
SAMSON: Oh god, no. I know you just learned the gaming skill, but please stop talking like that. 
SEE: Got it. Yep.
SEE: Basically, uh...he's lying to one of his friends about when he spawned, I asked the overseers.
SEE: I'm worried that he's doing it to control her or get onto her good side...
 

 

Roxas fidgets with their claws and makes a sort of low droning sound before responding.

 
ROXAS: You don't know that he was lying, maybe he was mistaken.
ROXAS: And besides, even if he's lying, sometimes good people have to do bad things to survive here.
ROXAS: Lying isn't great, sure, but sometimes it's necessary to protect yourself or others.
SEE: It was a whole month on his part compared to two weeks on hers...
SEE: And...there were other things.
SEE: I ended up calling him out on some things during our talk, and when I looked things up later, I'm pretty sure it could be called pretty manipulative stuff.
SEE: I don't know what to think, but I don't like it.
 

 
SAMSON: You...
SAMSON: You called him out on stuff.
SAMSON: Like, to his face?
SEE: ...yeah?
 

A couple of the TCPs let out resigned sighs.

 
SAMSON: So let me get this straight:
SAMSON: You talked back to -and potentially angered- a man who
SAMSON: A) You think is an untrustworthy manipulator
SAMSON: B) Is like, 8 times your height
SAMSON: C) Is currently trying to assemble a large group of TCPs with him at the head.
SEE: W-well!
SEE: I didn't like the way he was trying to talk to people and make everything seem! 
SEE: I'm trying to be a medic in this whole...situation, and I want to help people...
SEE: And I told him that I'd help his group if necessary, but that I didn't want to be a part of it.
SEE: But there was some really skeevy stuff going on, and stuff that I just can't take lying down, I guess.
 

Samson gives you a look that you can only assume is her pitying you.

 
SAMSON: ...Kid, you're a fucking idiot.
TODD: I don't know what you were trying to accomplish with that, but like, that really only goes one of two ways.
TODD: Either he's not a bad person and you annoyed a potential ally,
TODD: Or he is a bad person and he now considers you a threat to dispose of.
