[ The serrated whips slither in the air like snakes, extending them well beyond human comprehension. They circle wide around Luke, outlining the room in their path. ]
So many of you are proposing some kind of collaboration... For social creatures, I wonder if any of you talk to each other.
Unfortunately Luke is kind of a normie, so this is still weird as fuck--but at least he remembers it from their spar, and between that and his agent training, he manages to hold his ground and stay steady.]
I can't talk to the others. I'm dead. [And HER-MES turned Dahut Italian] If you say no, that's fine. But I don't like leaving my bases uncovered.

He looks unimpressed. ]
But you can talk among your fellow dead, from the pieces I connected. [ Sometimes each person that visits him unfortunately gives him enough. ] I've agreed to collaborate with your group as long as it brings him back.

So you know, Luke, my mood could have been worse today. I planned to let you go without trouble.
[ He has been tame in recent visit(s). ]
But I do have to remind you—and everyone down there—to know where you stand.

WELL he will lift his hands placatingly, even though the actual energy behind it is not genuinely the vibes of backing down.]
A trade offer. [Meme voice except srs] Help us figure out what's going on, and I'll see what we can do for you on our end.
[DIDN'T DAHUT TELL HIM NOT TO TELL KNIVES WHERE VASH IS well listen he isn't promising anything right now]
