ok see??? when i was saying you guys have all the fun customers this is what i meant. this guy is literally just a nerd who brings toys and games to life. how silly is that? how fun is that?? i wish we could do fun things like this. anyway i think i can help with this one. mrs. hoffmann likes toys and games. i like toys and games. surely we can somehow use this to our advantage right? though to lure out mrs. hoffman i think we would need some serious bait. im thinking... the mechanism pieces??
ok hear me out! if mrs. hoffmann was like actually as competent as mr. gehrels she would have just made a new mechanism by now right? she has the blueprints and has had them for at least a month or so. so im guessing only mr. gehrels ACTUALLY knows how to make the mechanism. though maybe dumbra doesn't know this... and thats why hoffmann has been going after the mechanism pieces. so maybe he can make it LOOK like he knows what hes doing so dumbra doesnt like kill him or whatever he does to people who disappoint him. so i think the only thing that mrs. hoffmann would actually care enough to go after would be the mechanism pieces.
BUT thats not all. whats stopping mrs. hoffmann from sending out miss. gemini to get it? power imbalance. im guessing mrs. hoffmann doesnt feel comfortable fighting. his whole deal is he brings toys and games to life to fight for him right? so... lets place the mechanism pieces somewhere he will feel comfortable going in case there is a fight. not only that we will also need to have this go down on a day where he can reasonably show up without worrying about causing too much of a stir. he seems to be a sneaky shadows type to me. ill do some big thinking on it.
oh yeah also of course we should expect miss. gemini to be there with him. BUT luckily i think you all know how to deal with them now. more or less. probably.
itll be fineeeeeeeeee <3
