I want to know why you're asking

[guestservices]

Curiosity.
They must be important for you to sign the contract.
And there is a difference in knowing and hearing directly from the source.

[agleam]

I'd like to hear what you know, first.

[guestservices]

Your fiance, I believe. In a state that currently is not living.

[agleam]

[there's a pause for like ten minutes, before]

Is he still

I thought since I signed it he would be safe immediately and as long as I cooperated

[guestservices]

It appears several of you did not fully read the terms outlined in your contract.
However, I believe that once these terms are fulfilled he will be returned to you.
He's safe for now, but if he remains that way is up to you.

[agleam]

So he's alive right now

[guestservices]

If that motivates you.

[agleam]

It's either true or it's not

[guestservices]

And it either motivates you or it doesn't.

[agleam]

If it didn't motivate me why would I even be here

[guestservices]

That's precisely my point.
Focus on that.

1/2

[agleam]

I don't need you to tell me that

Don't act like you care when you won't even give me a straight answer about whether he

[agleam]

[that message ends abruptly and a minute or two passes]

Sorry

Just

Ask me something else if you're curious

[guestservices]

[there's a few minutes of silence.]

An apology is unnecessary.
Unless you didn't mean how you felt, and I imagine that's untrue.

[agleam]

I just

It's a sore spot obviously

That's an understatement but it's not an excuse

[guestservices]

You're strangely polite about this.

[agleam]

Do you want me to be meaner because I could probably manage that

[guestservices]

I would prefer that you behave in the manner that comes most naturally.
If that's meaner, then so be it.
If it's not, then so be it, too.

[agleam]

Can I ask why

This isn't me being suspicious there could be a few reasons behind that and I'm honestly curious

[guestservices]

What's the point in wasting time with niceties that may not be real?
I'd much prefer to know up front the type of person someone is.
In that way, it's much easier to know how to handle their complaints and divine a solution.

[agleam]

Okay well

If that's the case then I wasn't just being polite a second ago it's more like I know it's not you I'm really angry at

And that's honest for what it's worth

[guestservices]

It's worth quite a bit.
Your honesty is noted and appreciated, as are your frustrations.
Um.
Your frustrations are noted. Not appreciated. Understandable.

[agleam]

Haha

Yeah I get what you mean

[guestservices]

[there's a long pause.]

You're familiar with several people already from your previous experience, correct?
Your thoughts on them?
