[sucks when his previous experiences say that both sides are Not Great, Actually.]

What have you heard about what the Celestials are thinking?

[grigori]

I've heard them saying that if we win, we'll bring a great deal of harm to others.

Conflicting information, isn't it?

[lefthandpath]

Mm... and they could claim exactly what you're claiming. So why should I believe your side of it?

[grigori]

They'll be claiming the exact same thing, in fact!

[ a low hum. ]

I won't tell you what to believe. I'm just a watcher. I'm here to help you and observe what happens.

[lefthandpath]

Help me. The whole "protect people" thing?

Or is it just because certain people have certain coins?

[grigori]

You. I'm here to help you and the rest of the Temporals.

[ they'll point right at allen. ]

Those are my current instructions.

[lefthandpath]

So there are others in this group?

[not that he'll be trusting of anyone immediately, but... a bit of a relief???]

[grigori]

Yep! There are.

Don't be too eager to run around and asking everyone what side they're standing on. I'm not sure if that would go well.

[lefthandpath]

I have no intentions on sticking my neck out that far.

It just helps make the situation a bit more clear, is all.

[grigori]

Understood.

[ with some flourish. ]

Well, what other inquiries can I help you with on this lovely day?

[lefthandpath]

What, exactly, are we supposed to be doing here? Why were we brought here?

[grigori]

The answer to those questions are the ones that I'm pondering. Originally we were lead to believe you were brought here through your own will and all of that...

[ they tap their foot. ]

However, it seems like that wasn't the case at all and yet you're still here to be watched by us and to help settle this conflict. The details of the latter point lacking clear instructions presently.

[lefthandpath]

So even you don't have an idea of what your "bosses" are up to...

[grigori]

I have an idea of what they're doing but those details are hazy.

[lefthandpath]

What are they doing, then?

... also, which Temporal are you?

[grigori]

Generally, I'd say Temporals are about protecting who they care about.

[ with some flourish. ]

I'm Rameel. I'm taking suggested options for nicknames, however.

[lefthandpath]

... ah. Well... what kind of food do you like most?

[grigori]

I don't eat too much, but I love snacks. All kind of snacks.

[lefthandpath]

Should I just call you "Snacks", then?

[you said you were looking for a nickname. this is how Allen Walker's brain works: through his stomach.]

[grigori]

Oh! I like it.

[ they'll chuckle. ]

[lefthandpath]

[what a simple fellow...]

Then, it's nice to meet you, Snacks. I'm Allen Walker.

[grigori]

The pleasure is all mine, Allen Walker. Shall I refer to you as Allen or Mr. Walker?

[lefthandpath]

Allen, please. Just Allen is fine.

Do you have any questions for me?

[grigori]

Some of the talents that you hold are what you'd typically find in a circus performer and it also read that you're good about "clowning".

So, do you agree with that? Are you clown, Allen?

[lefthandpath]

I am.
