Gotterdammerung

*He heard you over the phone, but he's never been to fond on relying on machines for communication, so he's come to bug you at work. Wilhelm may notice that the cuts on his hand are fewer in number and none of them are fresh.* You'd be surprised how foolish men gifted with power beyond what they should have can be, Partner.

From:

I would almost wish I didn't know, but wishing for ignorance is the pinnacle of foolishness. I suppose I was merely wishing.

Which is an inherently human trait.

From:

This place seems to have a unique effect on its residents.

From:

One would almost think it a genius locii, if not for the fact that older residents have confirmed there seem to be normal captors responsible for this.

From:

*Glancing at that eye patch.* But hardly ordinary by the standards of the humanity we know, else such feats as those we've seen them perform would be well outside their range of ability.

From:

Precisely. It's very likely that many, perhaps even most, of those who have been gathered here are more akin to as we are then to mankind in general.

[He ignores the glance at the eyepatch. He'll only go into detail about it if asked. Otherwise, it's an unnecessary point to talk about.]

From:

I'd noticed as well that those present are hardly on the level of ordinary men. One in particular I think you'd rather enjoy meeting~

From:

And who might that be?

From:

A human woman I've been talking to that shares many of our views on the worth of subjecting oneself to the wills of others.

From:

[He honestly lifts an eyebrow at this.]

What a curiosity you've found. Might this be what you intend to show your brother and I?

From:

Naturellement. She's recovering from her own encounter with the Post Office at present, but I think you'll be very interested to speak with her.

From:

Er, admittedly I've been chalking that up to the stress this place puts on people. Ya think it's more then that though?

[Ken isn't the smartest person on the block, but he understands people more then he thinks.]

From:

Stress is possible, but unlikely. If it had been stress, we would have seen this kind of outlash far earlier. At least, such would make more sense.

From:

Maybe you're right. I wonder what's going on. Some of it may not be all from the same thing either.

From:

Different sources are entirely possible. However, the degree of change I've seen would suggest that there's something more then natural forcing it.

From:

Great. I was hopin' the town would pull something a bit more flashy so that we were sure something was going on. I hate subtle stuff.

From:

I find it challenging. Which is welcome.

From:

Well, I guess I can understand the sentiment. Playing soccer's more fun when your opponent knows what they're doing. But in cases like this I'm not so sure I agree.

From:

I suppose it depends on the player.

From:

Soccer doesn't include killing each other.

From:

These are complications I'm used to fixing.

From:

What, soccer having no killing or subtle problems that are out to screw everybody over.
