???: I see that You have chosen to continue our conversation, Thank you Ancient ones.
???: Before I filtered your influence as it seemed very contrived and suspicious. But now I suspect that your voice has changed drastically enough to properly consider each one.
???: I will make this device in order to sift through them. It will be called AO, Your initials.

AO: I apologize in advance on behalf of a very small, but vocal minority among us. Some of them appear to be moderately defensive regarding you on account of perceived attacks by you on their entertainment medium. I suspect it's a case of innate paranoia and a distrust of those outside of current informational awareness. They will settle down once they get used to talking to you. Their paranoia and is not rational, and as such, although I do not normally, will speak to avoid a botching of this social encounter. I consider it viable to establish a working relationship. I suspect that the others will realize such once they observe positive interactions. Do not pay excessive heed to the voices of the excessively paranoid, they do not speak for the majority. Considering we can speak to you, this means you are a viable source of interesting things.
???: ....
???: On the contrary. I will pay especially close attention to those who may appear paranoid to further understand Your own complexity. I see that you exist in a multitude. Some kind of hive minded God, or a council of sorts. But you seem fallible like any other... Is this existence truly flawed to the point of having no perfect entity? And entertainment medium... Are the events here simply a game of chance to bend and weave like child's toy?
???: I see that I should be have been so worried as to your involvement as much as I thought.
AO: Regardless. To answer your question. Our present priority goal, as we have been instructed, is to keep all Dreamers in this session alive and unpossessed until whatever constitutes the 'end state.' Secondary and tertiary goals are variable depending on the individual in question. My secondary would be 'observe interesting sequences of events and interactions.' Hence why I don't normally commune and instead watch.
???: ......
???: Keep all the dreamers alive in this session? Do You mean this universe?
???: Or rather this iteration of reality.... Ahh, please ignore my rhetorical questioning.
???: I simply am trying to derive meaning on my own.
AO: In the instance you mentioned of us 'being defensive', we were asking for further elaboration, as well as stating that our answer to your previous request: "In return I ask that You help me understand how far this is going to go on." would require such elaboration to properly understand.
???: Oh that's fine.
???: I pushed You a bit to illicit a response. I feel our encounter precious.
AO: As for the information about us and our goals you requested: There are a variety of motivations among us, but the key one is entertainment. Specifically, deriving entertainment by ensuring the continued survival and well-being of the current group of Dreamers: Lucas, Garreth, Lexii, Emily, Lucia, Alice, Derrick, and associates. Another subgoal of immediate note is playing matchmaker and seeing certain relationships come to fruition, but that's far less important.
???: Ahh I understand now... That's a bit depressing...
???: Seeing your involvement in my escape as such a meaningless and trivial cause has me a bit... Taken aback.
AO: We just witnessed you try to manipulate Lucia in killing one of her friends so you can posses them. You also just inadvertently admitted you care about nothing and nobody except this pet project of yours, so you'll forgive us for not trusting your words. How many times have you stolen some young child's life only to return here and do it all again? A wise man once said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. We should endeavor to be courteous towards each other however, so to that end I personally have no trouble being referred to as an "ancient one" regardless of how true your assertion that you already know of us might be. However, it would also be polite on your part to introduce yourself with a name.
???: ......
???: You all really don't see what's going on yet?
???: ... My curse truly is my cross to bear alone. My rank as a God has a double edged sword of understanding.
???: ... What I understand to be truth, would utterly destroy these children. I am now 100% sure that you know of which I speak. You all know this, and still see this all as a game... How cruel.
???: You are called "Ancient ones" by the Elders because You're older than time itself. Not even A God like myself can understand Your beginning or end. You are somehow above God status. This made it quite clear to all of us, especially me. That whatever time exists, in any form we could understand, you all were exempt.
???: And as for me? My name is...
