[Chris would love to never think about the wendigos again either, but he knows practically that it's not possible. Worse, even if it were possible it would probably be a mistake.]
Yeah, basically. I mean, right now we're just... Really lacking on any sort of information on what's going on here, and we're stuck reacting to whatever the gods decide to pull on us. Maybe if we can find out more, we can... I dunno. Maybe not just be like, five steps behind all the time.
[Maybe they can be proactive, or even just have some idea of what to expect. He doesn't expect they'll somehow hit upon some information they can use to do something as drastic as go home or anything, but the possibility for knowledge that might let them have any bit of control is going to be better than what they have now, which is nothing.]
But um, don't feel like you have to agree or anything. If you don't want to for like, any reason, it's totally fine.
[And he means it; he knows it might be risky, even if they're just asking questions. He's talked to Fear several times now and is still terrified that one wrong word and Fear's just going to kill a bunch of people, and that's definitely never happened--in fact Fear's never even sounded annoyed at him--but he's still nervous about it. So he understands if Cashmere might not be interested in being involved in this whole plan.]
[ oh, Chris. what a doll. she appreciates his reassurances but they're not really necessary. asking questions seems pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things, especially if she's careful about the questions she asks. Cashmere intends to choose her questions very, very carefully. ]
[It's a relief to hear she's interested, even if he would've understood if she weren't. Mostly for that reason that--]
Uh, aside from me and Maketh? No one yet. Em is thinking about it and I'm going to ask Sam, and Maketh is asking some of her friends too but I haven't heard back from her yet.
What an army. [ but... okay, Chris. she shakes her head a little. ] Okay. Well, I'm in. Let me know what happens with that. I'll start thinking of some questions.

[Hopefully anyway. And he smiles a bit at her agreement, because finally something is going right with this.]
Awesome. I will totally let you know once we're sure of who's in, and then I figure we'll all meet up somewhere and discuss who's asking who what.
[Now that that's settled--]
I'm uh... Gonna head back to the bar then. I seriously need some coffee.
[He always needs coffee.]
