[ foxglove will look up at hansa without saying anything but their voice is soft when it responds. a bit hard to imagine what kind of expression the person behind the puppet had, but. the gratitude would be there. ]
HELP!! it'll drop the vial it had been holding and wave its hands at him. ]
I, it's a bit complicated!
My lab's here but it seems like the same case with my clinic. Last week none of you could see it or approach it even though it was clear to me. I would never prevent anyone from getting medical treatment if I was given the choice.
[ well, as long as hansa isn't going to call it a liar or point accusatory fingers at it, it'll chill. ]
Beyond where you are all able to recognize and travel. There isn't a way for me to replenish specific compounds that I use, but it's a fully functional lab.
[ hmmmmm... it'll really think this possibility over. ]
If we are then I'm not sure what there would be to gain. If whatever wanted to use us, wouldn't it be better for them to allow certain people access to their special skills and magic?

[Actually sincere....?]
Besides, its not like you have a whole lab at your fingertips. It must be hard to gather all these clues scientifically. Or alchemically.
no subject
Thank you. I hope that I don't disappoint you.
[ and. a meek laugh. cough. ]
And I do...have a lab...here somewhere.

[FOXGLOVE....but he's blinking as the other explains.]
[So there
was a lab here the whole time?]
Foxglove. [Keeping his voice level. Hoo boy.] Where...is this lab?

[What PUPPET TRANSPORT ABILITIES do you guys have???]
no subject
... it'll cross its arms and tilt its head to one side. ]
I walked?
no subject
Walked. Where?
no subject
[ tilts head in the other direction. ]
no subject
Can I see?
no subject
well. .....hmm. ]
I don't mind, but only when it's safe for you to walk there.
no subject
Why is it safe for you and not for us?
no subject
I'm...not entirely sure why that is, honestly. I know this sounds like an excuse, but, perhaps its an outside force.
no subject
[He glances up at the sky, for a long moment. So much doesn't make sense. The puppets, this place, the disparity.]
...Do you think you're being used?
no subject
[ hmmmmm... it'll really think this possibility over. ]
If we are then I'm not sure what there would be to gain. If whatever wanted to use us, wouldn't it be better for them to allow certain people access to their special skills and magic?
[ if this puppet is allowed to be so frank. ]
Maybe it's more like a game.
no subject
[But their puppets....]
[He frowns, closing his eye for a moment.]
A game to achieve...what? Entertainment?
no subject
[ it tilts its head to the other side, but hardly sounds very pleased itself. ]
Most play games for entertainment, don't they?
no subject
[Or...]
Some kind of reward, too. Like those clown box tickets. There's a goal. An endgame. Entertainment, and....something else, perhaps?
no subject
[ ... ]
If there's a concern about what we've been doing, then why go through so much trouble?
no subject
[But they're right. It is too much trouble.]
Agh, what a pain. Honestly, if I were you, I'd take a break to clear my head.
no subject
Thank you for the concern, Hansa, however I don't think I could take a break.
Not a very long one, anyway. There are a lot of people who are depending on me—on us—to find a way to fix things.
no subject
We could take a break right now? Real quick.
