*They drop the pen.*

I see…. Given the fact that I don’t feel like getting into what seems like mafia gang nonsense again I’m just gonna go….

-Feather Maple

Mumbo: this isn't a gang, it's just a small group of people running a large organization with questionable morals.

Hm.

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Aw, that sucks.

Well I guess I can accept this number instead of a signature, unless there’s a human or humanish person around.

-Feather Maple

Uh, there's Scar. He's a humanish. But I think the S.T.A.R. people took him?

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Yep! I can also eat souls.

-Feather Maple

Mumbo: Lucky for me, I don't have one!

[ask-hc-portal-au]

*scott proceeds to pull out a peice of paper* just sign here, then i can- in theory- walk you out of here the same way i got in dont worry, S.T.A.R is perfectly safe :) again, S.T.A.R is not responsible for any deaths' that may occur

-Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp )

(this is gonna be fun top draw)

Scar: This is sounding a little too similar to my Aperture application, and I barely remember that...

*he signs, desperate to do anything to get out*

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Thanks! I got them from a taxidermy store.

-Feather Maple

Mumbo, looking startled: I- oh gosh. Hm. Well, they're pretty!

[ask-hc-portal-au]

so, scar, i will arrange two of our contestants to replace you here, and if you will be sent to the star offices, when you get there say you have an appointment with me, scott , and ill explain further how much you'll be paid, the inner workings, and what nots, then well do the paperwork and youll be on your way to freedom! got it? -Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp )

Scar: PLEASE get me out of here. I don't care about money, i just can't stand to be stuck in these tunnels any longer.

[ask-hc-portal-au]

grian, can i ask you to step out for a moment? just want to...not be watched as i speak. -star ( @the-outsiders-smp )

Grian: Hm...

Sure.

*his physical form exits, and all of the cameras in the room turn off*

[ask-hc-portal-au]

well, if you did ever wish your freedom us here at S.T.A.R have a gameshow, and i am doing everything in my power to keep a dear friend of mine who is in this show, alive. if you can keep him alive throughout the whole season, you will be free to do whatever you like, and us here at S.T.A.R will pay you. we can, of course, replace you as a test subject thrice over, for your institute. if you fail to do what we ask, ill be sure to inform grian about your reach out to the void institute, and i doubt that will be good for you. ushereatS.T.A.Rarenotresponceabulifyoudoebdupdyinginoutgameshow- -Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp )

Scar, whispering loudly: SHHHHHH. Don't say anything about the void people. He's right here.

anyway, not totally sure what you mean about "seasons" but keeping people alive sounds easy enough. Kept myself alive here for a while. A couple of close calls-

*he lifts up his hands, showing chemical burn scars covering his palms and running up into his sleves*

but I've stayed alive just the same.

[ask-hc-portal-au]

scar? sounds fun! if you need more humanoids hermits, us here at S.T.A.R have plenty of demons, angels, humans, or whatever falls in between! we cant fit all on them into a season after all. feel free to ask! as for scar, hello there! would you like a chance at freedom? -Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp ) (dont worry moodbig, we wont take scar from you)

Grian: Well, if you have anybody you'd like to be disposed of or out of the way, I can keep beings down here for as long as needed. Magic doesn't work too well, which is why our little vexborn Scar here can't escape. Hm. Anyway-

*Grian flicks a synthetic hand and a panel opens. Scar tumbles out.*

Scar: Freedom? Voids yes-

*he glances at Grian*

Scar: I mean... I am loyal to this institute and will continue testing here in the name of science

*his wide eyes and fidgeting hands show off his terrible acting*

[ask-hc-portal-au]

S.T.A.R business, perhaps an offer, or perhaps we will feed them. depends on who You let us speak to. no ill intent, of course. science is a communal goal after all -Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp )

Grian: Ah, we both agree that science is the goal here. I can let you speak to Scar if you would like. He's a bit quiet but he's one of the only humanoids we have left.

[ask-hc-portal-au]

us here at S.T.A.R are wondering if we can speak to your test subjects -Scott S.T.A.R ( @the-outsiders-smp)

Grian: depends. what would you be speaking to them about?

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Well I’m not either!

*They flap their brown and blue wings.*

-Feather Maple

Mumbo: oh, pretty!!!

*his eyes glow slightly brighter in admiration*

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Oh…

*They notice his hands.*

You’re not human.

-Feather Maple

*he grins*

Mumbo: nope!

[ask-hc-portal-au]

*They squint at it.*

This isn’t a real name.

-Feather Maple

Mumbo: Oh, uh, hm. Do you need my name? It's not really what I'm called, but it's better than a string of numbers.

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Yep, I’m Feather Maple, just sign here.

*They hold out a clipboard with paper in one of their hands and a pen in the other.*

-Feather Maple

*Mumbo struggles to pick up the pen in his robotic fingers, but when he figures it out he quickly scratches his ID number onto the paper*

[ask-hc-portal-au]

Hello, delivery!

Mumbo: Ooooo! A delivery?

[ask-hc-portal-au]

us here at S.T.A.R are going to be permanently borrowing your highly advanced technology, thank you in advance for the access to your buildings :) -Scott S.T.A.R

*a panel opens up on the wall in front of you and Grian's face appears on a large screen. It is made of metal and his one eye visible from beneath his hair glows a bright orange. He smirks*

Grian: If you plan to betray me, that is a sore mistake. I have neurotoxin prepped to pour into this room, which will quickly kill you.
