[bemused:] A saying. My ego's too big to be an actor. Sharing the screen? No thanks.

What did you do before coming to this manor?

Hedge fund and investment consultation and management. [he's lying. but he rattles it off easily.]

Fancy. And, had you ever encountered the supernatural before?

Not in the slightest. [and he seems chill about this, but he is actually Deeply Rattled.]

You're taking it well. Is it the parlor games or the alcohol?

Both, plus my naturally accommodating personality. [laced with sarcasm; he's putting up with a lot due to said alcohol, hot people and free room and board.]

I've stayed worse places.

So've I. You get used to it. Helps to be from a small time. Less so, stuck on the grounds. But, enough happens each month to make it interesting.

( Depending on your definition of interesting. )

Seems to be true, thus far. Auctions and portrait halls. [both interesting, in dramatically different ways.]

Does it get more "interesting" than that?

There was a spa. A haunted house. Half the house burned down and we moved into the yard. And then they held camp games.

( Just not going to mention the commune, OK? )

In that exact order? It's like a mid-tier cruise. Except for the house burning down, that's any cruise. Something always ends up on fire.

[cocking an eyebrow:] Everyone seems in a fairly good mood, though.

No, not in that exact order. ( Would the order matter? ) Does it?

( He's only been on one cruise. Wasn't quite for him. It was his friend, Lexi's idea. R.I.P. Lexi. )

Do we have any other choice? When it's dangerous or, or, uncomfortable, then we're realistic about our surroundings. ( At least he is. ) Other things happen, too. There was a month we were all alternate versions of ourselves spending a summer at Saltburnt. Same names, but very different backgrounds.

Hm. I'd ask for a timeline, but I'm preemptively exhausted [he huffs out a laugh, leaning back in his seat.] Oh yes. Usually something in the vicinity of the hibachi, of course, but sometimes elsewhere.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die. [a solemn nod.] Makes sense. [a sideways glance --] That sounds -- disorienting. Who were you?

I wouldn't know.

( But he's making him never want to get on a cruise again. )

I prefer, find the moments when you can get them and don't live your life in fear of the unknown. ( Or the house. ) I was the heir to a vineyard with my brother. Our father had just died. Pretty cold businessman. And Tim was my son.

Not worth it, I can say that categorically.

[cruises are unnecessary and expensive and seasickness is the worst.

corry listens quietly, nodding, then quirks both eyebrows up at tim's name.] Tim Laughlin?

I'll remember that next time I think about going on a cruise. Or, get to go on one.

( If there's anything else beyond here and the commune. )

Yes, that Tim. And he never lets me forget it. Calls me Papa.

( He actually hates it. He also hates that feels a little responsible for him. )

Highly recommend a stationary beach vacation, if you can get one.

[nevermind that there's no beaches here, aside from the lake, which isn't really the turquoise-waters and shimmery-sands experience he has in mind.

corry makes the mistake of taking a sip of his drink when stefan says that, and ends up snorting it up his nose, because -- well. talking to the not!father of someone you more-or-less despoiled under contested circumstances wasn't exactly on his bingo card for the night.

coughing, wiping his mouth:] That's -- yeah. Sounds like him.

That, I've done.

( on the run, but, semantics. stefan lets the snort and laughter get out of his system. )

He's got his convictions, that's for sure. A little self righteous for my taste, but he means well.

Nothing can beat it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[okay, he's fine now, he's composed.]

Wasn't too self-righteous when I met him, but that was, ah. Unique circumstances. [ones that have him firmly pegged as public enemy #1 for one hawkins fuller.]

Well, being on the run doesn't keep it relaxing. But, the time I spent in Bali - it was nice, I'll give you that.

( By all mean, ask more. )

Really? He didn't lead with his pious foot?

On the run? Sounds dangerous, but -- well. A little romantic. [a fond grin.] There are worse places to hide out than Bali.

Ah, not exactly. [a little flustered, in spite of things --] The auctions, you remember those? I sort of...won a night with him.

It was a little of both.

( Not fair to Valerie who was definitely a Caroline-substitute. )

Oh. Well. I was lucky enough to not bid or be bid on.

Travel anywhere else? Europe, Brazil, Madagascar?

[for the first time, corry looks a touch discomforted.]

Aha. Well, I was under the mistaken impression that everything was above-board, so. It was quite a different experience for me.

I've been all over. The trip that year, I ended up pretty much everywhere at some point. I was looking for answers.

( he catches that, but he won't mention it. )

You discovered the compulsion aspect. Some activities or events here are not optional and they blur the consent line. Or, cross it completely. I hope your first wasn't too much.

Did you find them?

[quiet, sideways -- searches for answers like that rarely, if ever, pan out, in corry's experience.]

I did, yes. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, until I heard the truth of things the next morning. Sort of soured the experience retroactively.
