Lucidstuck II

Derrick: Ask Reggie which parts of yourself he represents. Kremwahl mentioned that his name would become yours if you were to turn into a monster. Ask Reggie if being an attendant gives him any insight on what this all means

Derrick: Reggie, what parts of yourself are from me?
Reggie: Well for one, social awareness.
Reggie: I'm the side of you that's intelligent and liberated.
Reggie: Kinda cool that my form is a raven because that's a really big coincidence.
Reggie: (Those birds are known to be quite clever.)
Derrick: Kremwahl says that my name will change to his if I get possessed, since you're an attendant and all, what can you share about this?
Reggie: Well examine your local friends you've made here.
Reggie: They have pretty strange names, right?
Reggie: This place erodes rational thoughts after you've been here long enough without a tether to the outside world.
Reggie: The darkness inside will become the "real you" While that other side of you will be lost.
Reggie: That darkness doesn't associate with your reality, much as you don't with its reality.
Reggie: That's why when you take time to be alone with that side of you, things become a bit clearer as you can both see each other's perspective. You're sort of like two people in one. As if things couldn't get any more confusing...
Derrick: Hmm...
Derrick: So all the monsters are the shadows of their former selves?
Reggie: Yep. Most of the time that's a bad thing because the darkness inside is more likely to do things you would consider bad.
Reggie: But not always. It's better seen as the more truthful side that shows. And that can be rather ugly...
Reggie: I think the take-away from this interaction is to understand that the Kremwahl guy is not going to do anything you refuse to allow.
Reggie: You have the reigns, dude. No amount of intimidation will change that.
Reggie: You don't like something? Put your foot down.
Reggie: Get used to wrestling with him if he acts too brash, and that will show in your character as a person in charge of himself.
Reggie: And in turn, his surroundings.
Reggie: The mastery of the self is your final boss. ovo
Reggie: But... It doesn't have to be that way. You can tackle this whenever you feel like it.
Reggie: Just don't forget who's in charge.
Derrick: ...

Reggie's words resonate in your head. Kremwahl may seem scary to you at times, but he's a beast in a cage. As long as you hold the leash you'll always be in control.

You wonder if drawing a door to the forts in Garreth's house would be a faster way to get Bambino to come to you. However, you think it'd be best if Garreth's drew it. It's his house after all.
