And his gear flickers on. Hello Route. Harry isn't quite pleased looking today. In fact he looks rather tired and serious. Possibly something to do with Heather's last post? ......yes actually.]

For those who know her, Heather Mason has been grounded for the foreseeable future.

That's all.

[Private Text to Claudia]

Stay away from my daughter.

[Harry is sitting outside the inn watching a spinning hoothoot. A Pichu and a Darumaka stand next to him. After a moment he shakes his head.]

I'm sorry guys, I don't know what you're trying to show me. I know she spins..

[Hazel just keeps pointing as the hoot hoot stops eventually, walks off and then comes back with....a pen?]

.....is that my pen? Where did you find this?

Really, and who gets to decide that? Are the kids allowed to leave if they want to go home?

Silent Hill? It's a place that has a tendency to shift to a world of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life. That second one is called the Otherworld. And it also has a history of kidnapping children.

[He nods.] Yep. [They are... Mother might just steal their real parents.]

Another Otherworld? [Oh god, there are other Others, aren't there? He did always wonder.]

[He puts on a fake, perfectly fine smile; his eyes are telling the tale of confusion, however.] Our Otherworld's only made of dreams.

[It's not entirely a lie... the 'only' is, sadly. He hates lying, but he can't just tell them 'We capture children so that Mother can eat them. He just wants a family and the best for her.... and he can't tell them the truth.]

Not all dreams are good. Nightmares are dreams as well.

What happens when the children who want to leave go home?

[He doesn't trust anything called the "otherworld" to let them go that easily.]

We wait until the next child who lives there needs us. [Mother will die and in turn, so will every Other.]

And you just let them go.

Do many choose to stay with you? You must miss them being stuck here.

Mm-hmm.

[Oh.]

Most don't want to sew in the buttons. [Should... should he have mentioned that? He has before, but... is this the time? He's how to be a bit more socially acceptable in his time here, but he's not sure.]

....Buttons?

[Well he just sounds confused at that anyway.]

[Nod.]

They can't stay unless they have them.

What are the buttons for?

Eyes, of course.

......

Buttons aren't eyes.

[His brow furrows for a second; why don't people believe this so much?

He's not entirely sure he should do this, considering the last reaction he got... but then again, there's no other way to convince him.

He puts his hand in the pocket of his waistcoat and pulls out two eye-sized shiny, black buttons.]

They are for Others.

And you sew them on childrens eyes.

It doesn't hurt. [So sharp they won't feel a thing. As to whether it does or not...]

How could it not?

You're sticking needles into their eyes.

[Magic?] So sharp they don't feel a thing.

No I'm pretty sure that's not how nerve endings work.

So you ask to sew buttons in their eyes. And then what? What happens if they stay in your "otherworld".

We'll sing and play games and Mother will make them their favourite foods. They can stay with us forever, if they liked.

[... As the last three did.

also, he's ignoring that nerve endings comment for the greater good.]

And?

They just play and sing? What about learning, growing up. Living.

We'll teach them, like a mother and father should.

Parents aren't the only people who teach kids. They need to learn from school. Teachers. Other kids.

[Huh...] I'm sure Mother and I can handle that.

I don't think they'd be able to get a job based on whatever you teach them. We have schools for a reason.

A job? No need to. We can stay as a family forever. [He really sees no trouble at that... well, he didn't; Route's made him think twice.]
