Hmmmmm. It's harder to tell, like this, if she's tabbed out. Zam's layer isn't on, but if he uses the End to get to spawn it'd be basically instant. He drops her a totem instead and then backs away to let her pick it up. Totems are cheap, information is valuable. (If she knew what to look for, it'd be visible that he's using stacked totems, but without knowledge of how this works, it's not any weirder than the pork chops.)

"Anyone else you know from Cheliax who I might know? Anything you're willing to tell me about how you got here? C'mon, I'm being nice." Water bucket: once again in hand. He doesn't actually want to leave her here, all it takes is one second of not watching and Zam could be here with water, so he'd really prefer she cooperate. And they might be on a timer now, if Zam's already on his way. He could put her in a bedrock or barrier box, maybe, but they're at world height, he'd have no way of breaking it if he wanted her out other than getting Ash to do it. Which is an even worse idea than all of his other ideas today. At least Xenia doesn't know what he can or can't do. "You want out, I want to let you out. Give me something to work with here."

Spoke drops a... golden doll..? on the ground, then backs away from it. Xènia... also edges away from it, that seems to be the recommended procedure. (Glances up, to check she's not under the lip of the box.)

Well he might have heard of Alicia, if she actually was a fairy she is not naming Alicia to this thing. If he's still a devil maybe he'd've heard of... the Queen? But he isn't acting like he's heard of Cheliax at all.

"I - I don't - " she's been instructed to believe that he's 'being nice' now, she should try to sound less scared "I don't - know who you might know, s-Spoke, I, I, I don't know where I am" mmmoderate success.

Is she stupid. Spoke gave her a totem. Does she want to die.

Well, if he picks it up again it won't stack, and he doesn't actually have a spare inventory slot, so it'll just stay on the ground.

"And how did you get here?" He sounds pretty clearly disbelieving. Someone had to whitelist her. Someone had to give her the IP. If she asks where she is again he can give the spiel but right now he's pretty focused on getting her to stop blatantly lying. If he had a way to get her to be less scared, maybe--but he's already tried giving her food, giving her a totem, giving her space, and he's already said he won't let her out of the prison without some information.

(She does eventually twig that 'drop things on the ground' could be the recommended procedure for giving things to unimportant people, but 'weird doll' is even more ominous than 'food' on that front and he hasn't even ordered her to pick it up, and, also, that would involve very briefly getting slightly closer to SpokeIsHere.)

Hard swallow, abortive shrug. What even is her honest answer, she died and her soul belonged here, probably? Shouldn't they be expecting that?? —they were lying about Hell being well organised, or this is somewhere else—does he really not know, it doesn't feel like a pretence but, how would she even get closer to an answer, there's no point asking...

She should say something, keep talking, every second dripping past under the open sky is—something—probably nothing even if—maybe she should just ask, what's a delicate way of saying 'do you actually not know'... no, "I'm surprised you don't know" is worse, just—

"Do - you actually not know?" she asks, and immediately regrets everything about the sound of her voice.

"I mean, I'm pretty sure it was either Parrot or Vitalasy, but it'd definitely be nice to know for sure." Is she trying to figure out if he has console access, to check who whitelisted her? It's not conclusive either way, he could be playing dumb, but if he were playing dumb he would've done that from the beginning instead of bluffing that he knew more than he did. Fuck, he's making all sorts of mistakes in this conversation. In his defense, it has not at all gone the way he would have predicted. "It'd be really nice if you told me."
