* { sometimes i feel like you’d all collectively be better off if i had stayed dormant. i think things would be easier on you all. less stressful to be dealing without me around to need help to. }

* { i wonder where you went. you certainly up and vanished a while ago, didn’t you. }

* { i don’t think i miss you, though. i don’t think you’d miss me. }

* { i wish i didn’t have to keep doing this. i’m tired. i didn’t ask to know the things i do. }

* { but that doesn’t matter to you or any of your own, does it. i’m just a tool. }

(*From a distance, an anon watches Flaps, scowling.) It seems you’ve been tamed for the meantime…I imagine you’d get agitated again if I came to greet you, but it’d only last until you killed me again, so why bother? I admit, your friends did a good job containing you, but you haven’t been so nice to them. I hope you realize how much of a nuisance you’ve been, and learn to mind yourself around anons. We cause trouble if provoked. Maybe you aren’t always a hero, but you could’ve done better.

* [He doesn’t pay you any mind. His ear flicks a bit, but…. Your words mean nothing to him, right now.]

* [But he’ll understand later.]

Good boy, Flaps, good boy…(*The anon slowly approaches Flaps, watching for any sudden movements from him.) That’s a nice toy you got there…wanna play fetch?

* [That movement catches his eye! He’s staring at you now. Mouth not off the toy, but he’s watching carefully.]

* [Still not making moves to attack, though. He seems content to keep chewing as long as you keep your distance.]

Are you gonna beat the heck out of Eight, Runiel? It’s no less than he deserves, and Flaps did punch him, so you could finish the job…you weren’t as close to him as Flaps was, and you always knew he was devious right? Still, I imagine it’s horrible to see the full extent of his sins, and I can’t imagine what it was like for Flaps…Flaps may be willing to help him, but what about you? Is he worthy of another chance to you?

* { flaps’ verdict is my own as well. }

* { if he makes the effort to be a better person and make up for his wrongs, he will be welcome here…. if not, well. }

* { i won’t be subtle about making him leave if he shows his face here. =) }

Flaps? You doing alright, buddy? (*The anon keeps a fair distance away from Flaps, hoping he won’t see her as a threat.)

* [It looks like he’s distracted, for the moment. Someone gave him a big chew toy. His ear flicks up at your words – but beyond that he seems disinterested.]

* [At least he isn’t attacking, right?]

* { he’s been pretty quiet down there, for the most part. }

Is Flaps still violent or unpredictable? Or has he calmed down considerably? Are we allowed to see and speak with him, or does he not understand verbal speech?

* { he isn’t Super violent or unpredictable currently, no. he’s still more or less prone to snapping at people he hasn’t deemed safe, though. }

* { i’m… not sure if it would be wise, but you’re welcome to it as long as you keep a good distance. He’s back down in the area under the dome, and Proph’s with him – but he may still get violent, especially towards anons. }

* { he doesn’t seem to be able to understand anything yet, though. }

* { so he has, currently, sneezed all day to the point that not only is he completely exhausted but i think he was a bit dehydrated too }

* { he’s back downstairs though. it wouldn’t have been a good idea to keep him like, stuck up here. }
