THE BOX OFFICE

[tellthestory]

This is where you can meet privately with the Balladeer! The Balladeer is almost always around during the day; just knock.

(Secretly, the door's usually not locked if he's inside. But you wouldn't want to be rude, would you?)

Guess that just happens when you get that many psychos in one place.

I doubt you'll have too much to worry about. Most of the people here are alright - even if they don't like you, that's no reason to haul off and try killing you. Even if that wouldn't kill everyone else, too.

[ Hans shrugs. ]

I hope so. I can deal with people being indifferent to me, but if they start to get nasty with me, I'll just have to be nasty right back.

I don't think escalating things is gonna be the best approach.

[trettende]

Probably not. But it feels so good to do.

[ He's awful...... ]

[tellthestory]

Hans. Is this really the time and place to stir up trouble?

[trettende]

Okay, fine.

[ He sighs. You and your logic, Balladeer. ]

You're right, of course, the last thing I need is people hating me. That'll just make me a target.

[tellthestory]

It really would. They'd all die if anyone killed you and got away with it, but I guess...it's more personal, doing it up close like that. Easier if you don't care about the person.

[trettende]

That's true. So far it seems like the deaths have been a case of being caught in the wrong place and the wrong time.

[ Of course, this was before Hook and Darla. ]

But who knows how long that will last. Getting everyone killed over something petty would be stupid, but it's not like it couldn't happen.

[tellthestory]

Yeah, sometimes people just have stupid reasons. But most of you guys seem...better than that. Or at least saner.

[Though of course, he does say "most". Because Hook is still alive.]
