Oh, she definitely did. It was proven at the truth game before you arrived. --Well assuming that means "war criminal of the highest degree."
But I do think the Snake has exactly the wrong impression of her. I think he expected her to be smart and conniving. --I mean, she still is a manipulate ball of fluff, but she's sort of a moron. You wouldn't call her 'cunning' but you might call her 'clever'.
If she's an evil mastermind, she's really one hell of an actor.
[SIGHS...]
...Well, I'll see what I can wrangle out of Blossom. In the meantime, if you can try persuading the Snake to talk with me again sometime, I'd appreciate it.
She just doesn't care what she's doing... she needs people summoned here to be sheep? Fine. She has a constant 'ritual' running that sucks up souls from wherever this place takes us. Death just takes the rest, it doesn't matter to her.
I'll do my best. Just know that a lot of people are going to judge you if you even hint you're doing something to try to help the Snake. That'll have at least three or four flocks up in arms immediately. It took me a lot of time to build up enough trust.
...Hell, more than a few Weeds will judge you for trying to help the Snake.
That's not much of a sales pitch for joining you guys, you know that?
I heard that the Snake tricked some teams into killing themselves or whatever, and that one of your number rampaged for a bit and set some kid on fire. That was before my time, so I don't care. But it might be worth it for the Snake to consider that we are no friends of Blossom's, either.
You're right—she wronged us. Yanked us out of our homes, stranded us here, not to mention all those who died along the way. So if the Snake really wants to take out Blossom? He'd be a lot more dangerous making allies with the sheep instead of terrorizing them.
I'm not sure to what extent. I doubt it's as bad as actual puppeting. But, it is most definitely true. From what I hear, a lot of them just don't use it, because "they're nice" and wouldn't do that to people.
Well... I have to admit, the alternative for me being here would be for me to not exist. So, I can't not be grateful to the Snake. But I don't know how I'd feel over on the sheep side if circumstances were different and Blossom had summoned me.
Some of them are... well, okay, it's hard to judge if they're nice or not because they hate the Snake, and so they're going to hate me by association. Some of them don't seem to be that bad, but then again, you're with an entire group of people, not one or two.
Either way, I'm still grateful I'm over here. Weeds have a lot more freedom. Especially because we didn't have to get involved in that ritual with the mines.
I mean, if your life is better here than it would be at home, I get it. I'd be probably feel grateful if I were in your position, too.
But I'm not in your position. I don't want to be slaughtered repeatedly. I don't want to live in a barn with a bunch of magical psychopaths. I have shit going on back home that I really want to get back to before I shuffle off this mortal coil, you feel?
