THEE-I-DARE: DIE-FOR-YOU AND I ARE ALLIES NOW.
Leo: Hello?
THEE-I-DARE: I HAVE MANY NAMES. ALL WRONG NOW
Cassowary: Oh f**k, are you recording this?
Nisha: I am.
Leo: Hello? Um, I am not recording, but I’m screenshotting everything.
THEE-I-DARE: DEVIL. ADVERSARY. THEE-I-DARE.
Leo: Well hello there. Um, so you two are allies. I kind of expected that, because we have a common goal, but, well, how are we going to go about it?
THEE-I-DARE: YES. OUR HOSTS NOW MEET AT NIGHT.
Leo: Um, Which hosts, specifically? Or just, all of us?
THEE-I-DARE: MINE, AND HIS. THE ADULT HOSTS.
Leo: Can you tell us more about the adult hosts?
THEE-I-DARE: HIS ARE MANY. MINE ARE YET FEW.
Leo: So if you’re allies, well, we can help you. We can help your hosts. If you want, we can assist.
THEE-I-DARE: YES. CHILDREN, WE CALL CHOSEN.
THEE-I-DARE: NOT YET OF HOSTING AGE.
Leo: So, if they’re not yet of hosting age, what happens to the children who sacrifice their bodies?
THEE-I-DARE: THEY GIVE US HOURS OF CONTROL
Leo: Oh, okay, yeah, I understand now. (to the others) Well, any of you who want to ask a specific question?
Nisha: I don’t think he can talk to us.
Cassowary: He can’t talk to us. He’s bound to you by the ritual.
Ryder: I don’t speak to the Adversary anyway.
Cassowary: Okay, edgelord.
Leo: But perhaps you can ask me to ask him?
Cassowary: Oh, god, I don’t know, f**k. Ask him who we should try to ally with next.
Leo: Who should we try to ally with next? There’s power in numbers.
THEE-I-DARE: ONLY DIE-FOR-YOU HAS MADE A PACT.
Leo: But we could try to convince others.
Cassowary: Okay, that’s open-ended. I guess we’ll just have to try.
Oxenfree:(typing): Has anyone asked him about STG before?
Nisha: (typing) Yes.
THEE-I-DARE: ANY EXCEPT MY MAKERS.
Leo: Well, that’s not cryptic at all.
Cassowary: Ominous.
Leo: So, we can assume the makers are, well, SAO?
Cassowary (interjecting): Shh, don’t say the name! Yeah, Wiggles, Bubbles.
(Cassowary and Leo laugh.)
THEE-I-DARE: TONIGHT A CHILD TOLD ME OF ONE…
Leo: One what?
THEE-I-DARE: SHE SEEKS TO BE RECOGNIZED.
Cassowary: Who?
Nisha: He’s talking about SEED-THE-GRUDGE.
Leo: Yeah, I think it’s for STG.
THEE-I-DARE: YES.
Leo: Yes, it’s about her. So, would you think it’s a good idea to recognize her? Or is there perhaps some sort of fear where...?
THEE-I-DARE: SHE IS DANGEROUS BUT VERY DRIVEN.
Leo: Well, if she’s very driven, she might as well help with our cause. To bring safety back, we could try to ally, couldn’t we?
THEE-I-DARE: I AM OPEN TO THIS.
Leo: So, you would ally with SEED-THE-GRUDGE?
Cassowary: Okay, well, that’s a thing. (laughs)
Leo: Do we know a chosen of seed?
Nisha: That would be me.
Cassowary: We do.
Leo: Wait, who?
Nisha: Yes, I am SEED-THE-GRUDGE’s chosen.
Leo: Oh, we have a chosen of SEED-THE-GRUDGE here! Well, should I request you to send a message to her?
Nisha: Right now, we’re supposed to send lights to all of the voices asking on her behalf for a spot on the table.
Leo: Okay, well, you’ve got the blessing of THEE-I-DARE.
Nisha: That’s a good start.
THEE-I-DARE: AFTER, THE VOICE OF HER CHOSEN…
Leo: Wait, so, that could be an asset to us. So, do you mean the chosen right here? She could be an asset?
THEE-I-DARE: THAT ONE, NISHA. YES.
Leo: Nisha, are you up for it?
Nisha: Yeah, I’m down for this alliance.
Leo: You’re down for this allyship?
Nisha: We both need the help.
Leo: We both need the help, indeed.
Cassowary: (sighs) I guess this means I have to be down for it too.
Leo: (laughs) Yes, you have to, Cass.
THEE-I-DARE: OUR RITUAL TIME ENDS SOON, LEO…
Leo: Okay, um, is there anything further you want to request?
THEE-I-DARE: BUT I AM GRATEFUL TO ANY WHO TRY.
Leo: You know what I said? I said I would die to keep Redacre safe and, well, this includes saving you, and… This includes every step it has to take.
THEE-I-DARE: YOU WILL NO DOUBT MAKE HIM PROUD.
Leo: I hope so! It’s what I’ve been trying to do ever since I knew about the existence of you people, well, um, voices.
Cassowary: Aw, I bet he’s already proud.
THEE-I-DARE: SURVIVE, LEO. AND THANK YOU.
Leo: You’re welcome! No problem at all. We got the same goal, and, well, you seem like a nice guy.
Cassowary: Alright, that’s how he signs off, with “survive.”
