008 [Video]

[Chris smiles and gives a small wave at the camera when the feed starts, then turns his hand to show Hope's blessing on the back of it.]

So uh, who else got one? And are they all from Hope, or...?

[This is so cool you guys he wants to see who else got what. And for something else slightly less important by still cool--]

Oh, also, my iPhone was up and working for a bit thanks to Pell, and I managed to get some music off it. I'll share on the condition no one makes fun of my taste.

[The last comment is a joke--he's really not going to be too hurt by jabs about his choice in music--but the offer is serious, and attached is a download of the music he's copied off so far. It's kind of a slow process, so there's still more on the phone that he can transfer later.]

Yeah, exactly. Hope and Delight get a lot more out of us, you know, being hopeful and not depressed.

[Obviously.]

Um... Yeah. That's uh, definitely something to worry about, though no one who's asked has really gotten any answers.

[Which sucks, because they really deserve to know and it's definitely worrying, but Chris has sort of given up on finding that out. Maybe he shouldn't have, though; it might be worth trying asking them again.]

Which... would be hard, if Fear and those other guys are winning out. [ Huh. ] Wonder why they're not, like... flat-out enemies? Considering.

[ Seems like it'd make more sense. ]

They have to know, right? How could you get killed by something and have no idea what it was? In that... mass, I mean. Since so many of them died.

That's um, a good question. I think maybe fighting with each other would take too much energy or something?

[He's quiet a minute at her next questions, glancing away briefly in thought, and is a little quieter when he responds.]

I dunno. I mean, maybe it was something they'd never seen before, and even if they knew it was attacking them instead of it being like, a surprise, they may not have had any idea what it was.

[Like when they'd all been attacked by the wendigos at home, or when Chris had encounter Pyramid Head here.]

So, if they all get powered up again, they might start doing that. [ Hannah notes solemnly. ] That wouldn't be good.

[ To say the least. ]

They should know. They're 'gods.' [ She smiles wryly. ] No, I get what you're saying. That has to be it.

They might, yeah. I mean, it could be good if the gods we like best won, but since Hope's bringing them all back I kind of doubt he'd be fighting them to win.

[And the idea of Delight fighting anyone is kind of laughable.]

Maybe um, we could try asking them again sometime. I mean, I don't think anyone who's asked has been uh... Tactful about it.

[To put it nicely.]

Maybe you could. I mean, you seem like you get them. More than other people.

[ At least, that's the impression she's gotten. ]

You're so smooth, Chris; you could pull it off.

[ Hannah grins, laughing lightly, but still earnest. ]

I've just um, been here a long time, so I've kind of gotten to know them.

[And okay, nothing could prepare him for that last comment, and she has to be joking. He grins a little, amused.]

That is, I'm pretty sure, the first time anyone's ever used 'smooth' in a sentence about me if they weren't making fun of my inability to grow a beard.

[Which he can actually do now, thank you very much, but sixteen-year-old Chris could definitely not manage the suave stubble look.]

Yeah, but other people have been here, too; they're just not as open-minded.

[ Hannah laughs again, shrugging. ]

I'm just saying. You have your ways.

[ He can definitely play it cool when he needs to, no matter what he's teased about. ]
