#mayhaps...?

I am back to bother you :3

I have one question that is haunting my thoughts.

How did Nightmare decide on the guys as his breakout buddies in Death-Row AU?

I am very curious :3

( hi hi! i wsnt ignoring this, i just got really into laying CotL for a bit, ans whoops-)

Nightmare picked the boys based of a mix of how useful he thought they'd be, along with how easy they would be to manipulate.

Horrors very physically strong, as well as a foreboding presence, he'd be useful for a lot of the actual breakout, good for breaking stuff and beating up the cops, the downside is he can TELL Nightmare's manipulating him, that hes playing with his emotions and trust to use him.

The very easy way to gaining Horrors trust, though? Dust.

Dust, in his more sane moments, can see that Nightmare doesn't have.. the best intention at first, some little things that stick in his mind as odd, but mostly, he brushed them off, assuming its his own flawed mind being paranoid, but also, Nightmare is so NICE to him! He tells him hes smart, he tells him hes useful, that he as a purpose, a place within their group, that hes not... dead air, dust walking, that what he did was okay, he doesn't deserve all this <3 And besides, under all that... mess in his head, he can tell Dust is a smart monster, hes good at fighting, even when restrained, and the amount of magic suppressants on him clues Nightmare into his abnormally deep mana pool quite easily, yes, he thinks, a good one.

and, Dust begins to trust him, and,seeing Dust trust Nightmare, Horror begrudgingly beings to trust him too. besides, he wants out too.

Killer was the easiest to manipulate out of them all, he seems entirely unaware of the manipulation (Killer is aware, hes just so used to being taken advantage of at this point that hes just like whatever) hes so willing to do thing for him for even the smallest drop of praise and affection, that it was so easy to win him over. Besides, Nightmare doesn't doubt Killers usefulness; hes fast, sly and sneaky. Hes a great thief, and can very easily slip thins from the right people pockets, or. slip something *into* their pockets for destruction. Hes good with words, which makes him an excellent distraction for them. Hes perfect. (To note, yes, Killer has trust issues, but its formed not in the way where you distance yourself from others to protect you, but the way where you form unhealthily quick attachments to people you shouldn't. have a conversation a single time with him? he now considers you a FRIEND, no just, 'possible acquaintance' like most people would)

Cross was a little more tricky. Like Horror, hes slow to warm up and trust, and also like Horror, can see the manipulation a mile away, and yet... Nightmare offered him freedom. he offered him a life outside these walls, a life he could freely live again, where he could pretend that what he did never happened, and he was pure again. So, hesitantly still keeping Nightmare at arms length.], he does as he says. Nightmare wanted Cross the second he said he used to be a soldier. A soldier, you say? Those are USEFUL skills, already honed. He likely has survival skills, he likely sleeps lightly, ready to wake or move at a moments notice, hes probably very observant, very physically fit, stays calm in danger, can listen to instructions and execute them perfectly, and, very importantly, works well in a group. Oh, and he can shoot a gun. That's useful too.

Oh! Hello, Follower.. are you follower Trans-static? What an odd rhythm for a name! Leader told me you sent this scroll to them first, but I might as well answer too! Just to show the.. hmn, wassname, perspectives.

Their wool's all short and scrubby, wavy but not quite curly, all oiled up with lanolin. Except for their.. the part hiding their bottom-teeth-hole, and their bust-fleece, and oh! yes! their tail's all wiggly-waggly, like a rabbit! A puff of fluff. Scrubbly, that is. :)

Sometimes when they get shorn they let me make a blanket out of it! ]>u<[How gracious they are! How kind! But I shan't evangelize now, not proper for a virus-follower, not when you're asking..

Question-onna-scroll... twenty. Ohyes! Their horn's all spiraly, like a snake made out of wood, only more polished. A circle that halts in the center and /slants/ upwards. Spiky. They polish it with the- ah, yes, the horrible bane known as soap. Follower-fat-formed. Then I can't hug 'em anymore, and I grow sad. :C

(I'm a 'fraidy-fleece, as you can presumably tell. sorrow, sorrow!)

Now, last query- where- ahh yes, here! They do have kids, only they.. don't wish to admit it, hehe. All the followers are Their children, they told me once in the confession booth. Was it opposite day then? Hmn, hm..

Anywhence! Leader's got my.. sproggles, my little RNA-tidbit, the cell-scars' living proof, Chronic Fatigue. 'Tis a long, and a rather embarrassing story. Tee el dee are, as some of the new-followers say, they are a parent, just not.. traditionally. Yes.

Thank you so much for interviewing me, Mx. Transstatistic! Nono, wrong word, sorries. Transtistic. Sounds right, thank you. :3

Oh! And I hope your visit to my/our/Leader's Cult stays pleasant! >u<// <- me waving goodbye
