[You should really know, Steve, what is not said directly is said with full license to be ignored. That is how Kindred work and Beckett appreciates that. So the question gets as straight an answer as he's in the mindset to give at the moment.]
As opposed to the rest of this town being a safe haven of sunshine and roses? But yes, the idea was to catch two birds with one stone. Two spiders. We couldn't have foreseen the extent to which the admin would go to prevent it - if that was who was responsible.
[He has his doubts, though he hopes this won't go into a round of talking down one of the many people in Norfinbury who are out for the admin's blood.]
I should be less than a day's walk from the school, and I do need to resupply. If you don't mind waiting, we can meet as early as this evening.
...Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out. [He's actually all honesty here.] Would've been interesting to get our hands on a spider. ...Nothing interesting under the water either, huh? I guess at least now we know there are... fish-things?
Oh, yeah, less than a day—sure, absolutely, we can stick around another night. ...Maybe take a look around the school a little today, I haven't really explored much beyond the cafeteria.
Why, thank you. Your approval does mean the world. [Sorry, Steve, but you should be used to this by now. He sighs slightly at the question.] No, nothing. A box, but it was already empty. Perhaps a feeling of vindication at the knowledge that I was not the only or first person mad enough to try.
[Because he knows it's mad. He just did it anyway.]
I'm not certain if the spiders and fish are truly two different things. I might have to ask Angel. Either way - the school is well worth more exploration, especially if you have anything that might be used to try to break the whiteboards. Don't pay any attention to the footsteps, they're harmless.
Being too fussy about sanity has never helped anyone accomplish anything. [He... probably doesn't mean that, saying it more to get the last word in. It's a very troubling thought when he lets it get too much of a hold.]
They seem to be screens of some sort. And wee are, in theory, trying to break any electronic devices. To see what's inside. As you do.

Hey, pal, you are welcome.
[He shakes his head.]
I dunno if 'vindication' is what I'd be feeling, but hey, at least you admit to the 'mad' part.
[Steve makes a face.]
Goody, ghost-children, can't wait. ...Why are we trying to break the whiteboards?

Ah, right, OK. Well, I'll bear it in mind, not sure what-all I'll get up to in there.
