Fine, fine. If anything we can learn from their set ups. The one camp I went into last year was very well put together, it was clearly functioning.
[ Before they, you know, went and killed everyone. ]
Maybe once we get something going and we prove that it's working being independent, more people will be inclined to join us. I know it's a big ask to take the chance without any proof of purchase, but we can't stay here forever. The Free Cities have already proven that we're tools for them, no matter how people have romanticized their lives here.
That's how it was for us at the Hideaway, aye. Once we have a place for people to go, the ones who see the truth of it all will be the first to join us, or establish sanctuaries of their own. After that, it'll be slow going... but we'll manage it one step at a time.
We were looking for information during the kidnapping last year. A group of bandits were assisting in taking people, although not the Summoned, but they'd brought a few of the humans so they knew part of what happened to them. We followed their lead to Aquila and I went diving into the ocean. Looks like they would transport people to Aquila on a boat and then off to the island. It was hard to track them because they'd do a few steps each time.
I'm glad someone gets it. I've been yelling this for a while. The Free Cities blackmailed me recently to get me to make things for them. They're only a few steps away from starting to use us more actively.
