Be cautious. The child you think you're helping isn't what he seems.

Few imPorts are. Can you explain what he is? Most people, human or not, aren't so careless about injuries.

Bill isn't a person. He's something older and far more sinister, an ancient being capable of projecting himself into one's thoughts. Normally, without invitation, that's where his influence ends. But as you can see, things here are different.

He has a physical body. Does it belong to someone else, or was it a present from the Porter?

[deciphered]

Both. He's found a way to mimic the appearance of another imPort, but I've yet to determine whether it's intentional or coincidence. I can't rule out either until I find him.

[bindsthedead]

Are you suggesting his physical shape is mutable?

If this... creature is similar in nature to a Free Magic spirit, I'll do what I can to contain it. But keeping its current body in good condition will at least remove one incentive for it to try to steal someone else's.

With the way others have changed upon arrival, it's impossible to know what he's capable of. Either way, the form is someone he's familiar with, and it's something he's using to his advantage.

Which brings me to my request. He seemed receptive to your offer. I was hoping you could contact me if he follows through.

[bindsthedead]

I will. Do you have any advice for dealing with it, aside from being careful and not trusting what it says?

[deciphered]

Under no circumstances should you agree to make a deal, no matter how benign it may seem. He'll try to trick you, but he's powerless without a pact in place. Hopefully.

[bindsthedead]

I'll watch my wording, then. And unlike him, I am not powerless without an agreement.

[deciphered]

Be prepared. You may need it.
