( It sucks to do this to Delight, but trying to learn something about their hunters is important. Even the little things might help. She bites the inside of her cheek at the response and the expression -
Some things just have to be done. )
Can't imagine there's much excitin' to do there. ( It's as much honest as it is a quip, because everything she's heard and seen of The Null doesn't exactly scream party robots. ) ... Really want you lot one way or the other, don't they?
( First calling for their deaths, now this... cage business. )

Ooh, that's such a lovely thought! The idea is marvelous... but there's so many things here!!
What if I just gave you a small starter set? The more you do with that, the more I can give you!!!

[Yeah, good luck with that bud.]

The door brings living things through all the time! That's how you got here!
[Delight sounds cheerful, and- well, maybe the tiniest bit condescending.]
If you're asking about specifics, then... uh, we can't really control who or what it brings from where or when. Not as far as I know, anyway, but I don't know a lot about it!

Seems like it.
[Delight moves back to sit on her alter, hefting herself up and kicking her heels against it. It's not a pleasant topic of conversation, and the longer they talk about it, the more melancholy she gets.]
I don't know what the others think they're doing, really. Sorrow wants to outthink them, Fear wants to outrun them, Hope just wants to survive... nobody seems to have any real answers. Someone has to do something, but... I don't know.
[She tips her head, her expression unreadable.]
I don't want to die again. I don't want you guys to die either.

That would be quite limiting, but it may prove an interesting challenge.
Very well, I accept. Should I keep you updated of my progress, or perhaps show you some samples of my art at a later date?

[After taking a minute to compose himself and rub his temples, Tucker reminds himself that he needs to be nice, because Delight potentially has something that he wants. Or the ability to make it, anyway.]
a movie is a video
like the ones on the network?
but in these videos theres people who pretend to be characters in a story
and act it out
its like a stage play but you record it
and the recordings get imprinted on discs
and you put the discs in a machine hooked up to a screen
and it plays back the video for you
make sense?
[He's losing hope but he's not giving up just yet. If he's anything, he's persistent. Actually, that's a complete lie, but if he's actually anything, he's a liar, so it evens out.]

That sounds great! There'll be some of these supplies at my temple!
Very well. Thank you for your assistance in the matter.
That makes sense to me!!
You want me to give you discs of your video posts?

( Kate doesn't want to die again. She doesn't want to be responsible for a successful genocide, either. Even the thought of destroying The Null doesn't appeal to her, not really. It's just made easier by the fact that she's protecting something she's come to care for. )
... What'd you do? If it were your decision and none of the others?
( She's had fleeting thoughts, ones that are probably too hopeful, that they could outlogic the Null, find some way to convince them that this vendetta is worse than the chance of the gods affecting them again. )

[Aww, Delight. So nice.
Jo smiles and clears her throat.]
I don't make a habit of asking for stuff, but how can I get some more fabric for the woman running the sewing shop now?

[Mmmmmmmm-]
uh
not exactly
what I want is a disc of a video from my home world
one of the acted-out ones?
it's called Highlander
it's about immortal people killing each other with swords
it's great
[It's super not great, actually, but that's the point.]

[It's an interesting question, and one that she's thought of before. Delight hesitates though, as if trying to find the right words to say it.]
I think... I would save you. All of you.
[The Null are only after the gods, not the others in the city. They're just innocents caught in the crossfire, and Delight knows this all too well. She bites her lip, staring toward the ground.]
And I would hope that the Null's prisons won't be as bad as death.

Sorry that wasn't the answer you were looking for...
[Maybe they'll get lucky and have another dragon fiasco!]

Oh, Margaery? Sure!
[She nods.]
We have an agreement- happy memories for fabric. So, lay them on me and then tell me what you need!

I... see.
I can't replicate anything from your home. I can try to make something new though!

Hi!
[She waves.]
It depends on the person, but usually, yes! You need to give some form of payment.

That's it? What kind of happy memory?
