Re: [WHY ARE WE HERE]
Unfortunately I've never gotten to know you well enough to know that. You seem like you'd be good allies in this, and we shouldn't have discounted that when your patron ultimately is no more dangerous overall than Flowers.
The measures Tide and I used are overall fairly harmless... and Scowl may discount them, but I'm sure if he wasn't quite so v--stubborn, he might think differently. We have an advantage in the fact that he and King think the same way--that we, as "mere" Blanks, do not have the power to defeat them. But if that was true, we wouldn't be standing around here talking about killing them. We wouldn't have repaired Judge influence to each other over and over, and we wouldn't have found a way to retrieve everyone lost to the Earth and the Judges themselves.
