[ Though she's had her hands on the communication device for months, Cecily still isn't entirely sure how to use it. Not well enough that it's taken her until now to send out a city-wide message, anyway. As a result, though, she texts as if she's writing a letter. ]

Hadriel,
Her name may be 'Delight,' but do not forget that she is one of them. Do not forget all that they have done to us since our arrival and how little they know of us or care for our safety.
Most of all, do not forget the last time that they offered us something edible.
I promise that I am as much in need of a drink as anyone else, but I remember too well what their gift of food did for us, or, rather, to us.
I would not be surprised to find that their bar offers much the same danger.

Be well,
Inquisitor Trevelyan

Yikes!!!

I don't blame you for what you're feeling, but I'd like to help you and your friends. I'm not out to do harm to any of you.

I thought Rage meant to help us, too.
Do you know what happened?

text

[secondreturned]

I heard.

Rage... she's my friend, but I think it's fair to say that I'm in a better position to help you than she is.

They fed us human meat.

[mismanagement]

You are aware that these posts are monitored, correct?

[Maketh agrees, of course, but precautions must be taken.]

I am.
They are gods. Likely, they can see and hear us everywhere in their city.

[synthedick]

Good advice, though it's something better said under the table than on top of it.

They can do no worse than what they have already done.

[ampliat]

Out of curiosity. For those of us still new to this place.

What did happen the last time we were offered something edible?

[closerift]

The 'something edible' was human flesh.
It transformed those who ate it into monsters.

[wormintheglass]

Frankly, if their price for sufficient tequila to numb me is transformation into a monster, I, for one, will take it, Inquisitor dear.

This is not to say I disagree, you understand. But the flesh is sometimes weak.

[ :l ]

I can understand that, after-... but, it doesn't mean we should be complacent. Accepting their gifts can be as good as rolling over with them.

You've all been eating food that I provided since you arrived, and no harm has come to you from it. Delight can be trusted, even if Rage and Fear cannot.

[closerift]

How are we to know for certain that you are not all on the same side?

[dragonbite]

As long as it's not sweets I'm not interested anyway.

[closerift]

Then you are less in danger than most of the others.
Though, if you are eating their food...

[faithfulwolf]

Last time. It was scary.

[ He's so glad that he doesn't actually haveto eat to survive. ]

[closerift]

It was.
Were you affected?

[64th]

I get what you mean but after everything that happened I need to be drunk and forget for a while

[closerift]

I agree with the sentiment but not with the method.

[zen_en_vert]

Thank you. This was the right thing to say.

[closerift]

As always, you prove to be one of the sharper captives, here.
Many of the others do not agree with me.

WHAT DID IT DO LAST TIME. WASN'T HERE

[closerift]

They left us human meat for food and it turned us into monsters.
