Mole Check-In
On Monday morning, when Blue awakens in her room, the following letter can be found in a conspicuous location on her desk.
Miss Blue,
From what I've seen of you, you seem to be a clever, resourceful girl; you're incredibly strong-willed, and I've no doubt that you're eager to return home. While I can't terminate the exercise early without due process being followed in order to do it, what I can offer you is some degree of security or comfort for the duration.
I'm willing to grant you whatever you ask for – if it's material items you want, if they're available to me I can try to obtain them for you; if it's information you're seeking, regarding either this situation or the situation back home, I can offer you that as well. As long as it's within reason, I'll give you whatever you ask for.
However, nothing comes for free; in exchange for these favors, I'll ask you to give me something in return. It's nothing terrible, just a bit of information – if someone is talking about causing trouble or otherwise interfering with the exercise, or if they're deviating terribly far from some sort of normal routine, I would like to know about it.
I'm willing to help you get through this to the best of my ability. If you believe that to be worth it, I'll look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Just leave letters in the box at your convenience; once per week would be preferable.
Do consider this offer carefully; it's not one that I would extend to most.

Well, I can tell you that at least one of the factors is identifying and being willing to utilize the means to do it, which I don't believe anyone has.
The creature itself isn't the one I called God, no; the one I called God is far more powerful than this. It's powerful, but I've known it for a while now, and we've worked together before. I don't fear it, per se. I know that it's going to outlive me, and I know that if it decides it wants me - for whatever it's going to do with me - I won't have much choice in the matter. But I don't mind the risk. I respect what it's capable of, but I'm not afraid.

The means isn't going to mess with anyone's heads or make them come back half dead or vampires or something, is it?
Does the shadow creature have a name? How'd you two meet, anyway?

Of course not. I've tested it myself, and it seems to work well enough even when people have been deceased for a while, or are otherwise in unfortunate shape.
It does have a name, but I think it would be a little angry with me if I told you flat-out. It isn't as though the sound of it would drive you insane or anything, however. We met by way of a mutual acquaintance.
