[Jon is very aware of how awkward he seems. When was the last time he casually interacted with someone outside the little group of people who were his. He'd never been good with people and that has probably only got worse.]

Ah... probably planning the apocalypse?

[marmoron]

[ oh jesus, that's so unexpectedly blunt that it actually makes keith laugh. ]

Must've fucked you over pretty quickly.

[ ...actually that's not even funny. the lack of intel with the kelpies had been a goddamn disaster on virtually every front. he sighs, then: ]

Unless you're being completely serious. In which case, I want to know if there's any proof.

[the_archivist]

[Jon isn't laughing, and when questions he just shrugs.]

I'm not particularly trusting when it comes to organisations researching ancient supernatural forces of evil.

[marmoron]

[ ah. so the guy's dead serious then. keith considers that, levity fading from his demeanor. ]

Can't say that I've got personal experience with that. [ but he frowns, considering. ] Though it does seem pretty fucking convenient that these missions they keep sending people on would also do a lot of fear feeding for the entities they're allegedly trying to stop.

[ a beat. ]

Not to mention I think six people so far have disappeared since the start.

[the_archivist]

A veritable smorgasboard of fear, yes.

[Take a group of people who don't have familiarity with the entities, and send them into danger... well, it's one way to do it.]

Six? Dead or just... gone?

[marmoron]

[ keith takes that thought in with a sigh. on the one hand, it's just a theory for which there isn't any proof. but when in the history of mankind has an agency dedicated to hiding the truth "for the greater good" ever been the good guys. ]

Missing. [ a beat. ] Seems a bit optimistic to think they managed to find their way back to their own realitiies.

[the_archivist]

I agree. Optimism is generally unfounded in these sorts of things.

[Optimism had never helped him.]

[marmoron]

Sounds like you've got some messed up stories of your own.

[ no, he's not going to pry outright but.... veer towards it? yep. ]

[the_archivist]

More than a few.

[He holds up his burned hand. The scars have faded since he got them, but they never healed, and they still look horrible. He never quite got full feeling back either.]

Just one example.
