[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

I couldn't, either. I got frustrated and started breaking down doors.

( metaphorically................. probably )

But you have one of those bracelets, right? That's something.

[secondthoughts]

I was suspended.

Because I used public channels to call them out, specifically. I was expecting that would happen.

Why couldn't any of the people that knew about this guy use any of the thousands of non-game channels to talk about this?

[secondthoughts]

I'm trying to understand and nothing's really helping the case for anyone who knew about this thing, it seems.

It BLOCKED him from speaking? Jesus christ.

[secondthoughts]

Judging by the name? Yeah.

Were you gagged too?

[secondthoughts]

Stop what?

[tablescraps]

I tried to get him to talk multiple times, but he couldn't speak, so I don't just say it to defend him. If there was more he could say, he would've.

( Well... That's glossing over some things Barrett did tell him but... dwbi......... )

Objectively, I would be more distrustful of 0koto and Fandaniel. They're the ones who'd intentionally withhold information they could actually share.

[secondthoughts]

And what happened to out of game channels, then? I know a whole bunch of you know each other irl. Did that stop ANY of these people from picking up a phone and calling someone? Or writing a goddamn letter?

[ Oh, he's worrying about it. ]

Well, good thing he spoke to multiple people, then. So that there was more of a chance of that useful info actually reaching us, huh?

[secondthoughts]

Fucking preach sister

[secondthoughts]

I don't know.











But it's my fault.

[secondthoughts]

yeah.

[secondthoughts]

What do you mean? Where else could he go?

[secondthoughts]

[curvaceous]

I don't know

It doesn't feel right to blame Barrett for this




Never mind, forget I said anything. Yael's gone and I can't think

[secondthoughts]

You see why I'm so angry now, then.


Not specifically at Misteaks. We could have seen this coming and done something about it earlier but no one said a goddamn FUCKING word.

[legendofthelion]

no I just thought if it was like uta

but there'd be no way to know that huh

[Damn it. Damn all of this.]

maybe as long as his body's still alive

I mean we don't know enough about what's happened to us to say for sure right?

[bleatingedge]

fuck...

we were getting along so well too :(

[legendofthelion]

[She would not even blink if he meant it literally. They're all at that point.]

yeah I'm going to use it to keep everyone safe while we figure it out

within reason

I know there's a risk

YOUR FAVE IS PROBLEMATIC: CALLOUT FOR LILY SQUAD

[tablescraps]

Let's go over this.

• 0koto: Would not share information. He and I would trade information related to greater happenings in Fragment and he specifically withheld information about being in contact with Lily, and information he discovered therein. Very likely he sees personal benefit in aligning with Lily, and to this extent he's prioritized his own interests over everyone else's. This is in line with his character.

• Fandaniel: Would not share information. He admits as much himself. And he believes too fervently in Lily's cause to speak up. He exists in an interesting paradox of wanting to protect an entity he views as a child, while also entrusting himself to him. He's also demonstrated on several occasions that he's not very bright.

• UTA: Seems to see Lily as a friend, or an equal. She and Lily appear to share a similar mind about wanting what's best for Fragment. She seems to believe in Lily's cause genuinely. Given her apparent nature, she probably saw it as akin to giving away a friend's secrets, or endangering him.

• L3V147H4N: He's made of papier-mâché and he's sympathetic toward Lily's situation. He seems introverted, morose, and anxious. If Lily asked him firmly to say nothing he probably would. He sees them as a child and a member of his family. All of these laundry list of reasons he doesn't seem keen on speaking up. I don't think he'd feel obliged to say anything unless he thought Mr_Misteaks was in danger.

• Mr_Misteaks: See above.

If you're going to be agitated, I would recommend, at least, looking at the pattern: Lily has chosen individuals to speak to who are willing to keep secrets and are inclined to believe him, or in what he can do. If you're going to ask why no one shared information, then you should first ask why that pattern exists, and the pattern does not exist across all of them without reason.

It's not one person who's an outlier, and it's not a coincidence no one mentioned anything up until now. The individuals Lily has made connections with seem largely self-selected. He doesn't seem to pursue people who ignore him, won't exchange conversation with him, or argue with him. You can argue day and night as to his motive, but it doesn't change the fact that the people Lily has maintained contact with are clearly people who are agreeable to him regardless of their personal goals.

In short, shut up about Barrett.

( Sorry (not sorry) to the rest of you but under the bus is where you'll go if it means protecting Barrett, )

[gluttoning]

What do you MEAN it's your fault?

You haven't even been here for days!
