Subject: Bingo Cult
I’m with Brent 100%. The 8-Ball is dangerous, and this is the EXACT kind of thing it does. It lures you in with its cryptic little answers, a “Bingo” here, a “Doris O’Neal” there, and then suddenly you’ve just done every single thing Fate wanted you to do. While Fate might be dead—Jean-Marc is still alive. And as long he’s out there playing his little Bingo games with Jack, Felix, Umbra, and Complexico, there’s no telling what those five will try to do.
Brent’s probably right about Jean. He’s probably trying to bring Lucy back. In fact, I think they’ve all lost someone important to them. Jean and Felix lost Lucy. Umbra lost his daughter (and his mind, tbh.) Complexico, I think, lost some of his contestants, which he’s never gotten over. And… Jack… uh… I don’t know. I don’t know jack about Jack. I guess he lost Fate? But I don’t think he ever liked Fate. Pretty sure he hated Fate to the point he’s now a weird hardcore nihilist.
Anyway, there’s literally no saying what those five have actually been up to. Sure, the 8-Ball might just be an 8-Ball now. But Umbra could be playing tricks on Capgras. He hasn’t been sleeping well lately, right? Doesn’t that scream Umbra?? I don’t want another “magic 8-Ball leads my coworker on some wacky chase that ends up with them GONE from the universe.” Not again. I don’t think I really need to remind anyone how ruthless Jean-Marc can be when he’s trying to get what he wants. He didn’t just let Victoria die. He destroyed every last thing about her just to create his perfect weapon against Fate. What would he do to us? We aren’t even on the same side as him anymore! And that’s what he did to those who looked up to him and sought him out for protection. So what would he do to us?
We cannot trust anything from them. We need to lock that 8-Ball up or destroy it before it destroys us.
