It doesn't have to be. But I'm trying to think of reasons someone would leave a finger at someone's doorstep and "threat" seems like the most obvious response.
Um... I guess it *could* be a genuine gift though. Anyone around here like Ryoshu?
If you mean chainsmokers, yeah. I gifted them accordingly, in fact.
I guess there are weirdos in Brimstone who'd be into that, but as someone who's been here virtually from the beginning, I can't really think of anyone in this team who'd be into it. At least, not as far as I know.
Not... really. Not after getting a whole bunch of gifts these past couple of months. Which is why getting a severed finger out of nowhere is pretty shocking.
That's true... I can still smell the result of our adventures in that factory to this day.
I will say, though. The one who did this is no different from those gnomes. For them to go out of their way to gift me this specifically must mean that they hate humans from the bottom of their heart. And that does remind me of a couple of people here.
That's... kind of surprising to hear, given what we were all brought here to do in the first place. But I guess hating something doesn't necessarily stop people from participating in it.
Anyone in particular come to mind? And anyone I should watch out for?
We were essentially kidnapped to do their bidding, Dante. There wasn't even a contract to sign when you first get here, unlike most negotiations in the City. Not everyone's going to be thrilled with the job of "saving humanity" in another world.
[ but hmmm, let her think... ]
Like Mr. Silco, for one. That guy does nothing but complain since coming here.
It was when they were holding the blood drive. Apparently I was standing in the right place to keep him hidden or something, so when I moved, thinking I was in his way, he wanted me to move back.
They were also all free (?!) so I don't even get what the need to steal them was about anyway.
[that's still the thing they're most frustrated about. Yes, more than the accomplice thing]
[ hold on, she's... putting two and two together..... ]
Wait, hold on. ""This is a trophy you've earned, as it belonged to a thief." And Vergilius pointing out that it might've been the people who took Wriothesley from me...
Mr. Silco was there when I retrieved Wriothesley's vision from those cultists from Transylvania - a catalyst of his powers.

But... a threat? After everything I've been through these past couple of months? Why now?

[She did cut off that guy's hands when he tried to sell them out]
But since it doesn't fit the description of anyone on your team, trying to follow her usual line of thinking for motive probably won't help.
Do you feel unsafe at all?
no subject
[ hmm. ]
You think gnomes exist in this world too?
no subject
That and they'd probably would have made it into something before handing it out. At least if they're anything like the ones back home.

Oh. *That guy.* ...I can see it.

i wouldn't interact with silco if you can help it, dante. he's a bad apple
no subject
Him trying to get me to act as an accomplice while he stole blood packs when I first got here didn't help either.

But it does add up, doesn't it? He watched me kill them, too.

i'm sure he'll be proud to acknowledge his gift
