A/N - When someone won't listen, you make them.
Bim jumps as Natemare appears out of nowhere, though his surprise soon turns to anger. The show host is about to say something probably derogatory when Mare just shushes him quite violently and does his best to explain that Jim has been found, Silver's gone missing, and Dark wants to put the building on lockdown because he thinks that whatever's happening is some kind of sickness and they can't let it leave the building.
"Except it's not sickness. It's possession."
Bim blinks at the spirit. No doubt it's a lot to take in but Mare hopes that there's some part of the guy that cares about his friend more than he hates the spirit.
"How do you know?"
"I've possessed people before." Mare admits.
Bim scowls flinching away, the two feet between the them somehow not enough suddenly. "You're disgusting."
Mare covers his eyes and struggles not to groan at the ongoing judgement. "Yeah I get it. You guys hate me. Do you want to help me find Silver or not?"
"…How do we find him?"
Mare takes a breath as he launches into his explanation. "This thing is young, or at least inexperienced. If it knew what it was doing, it would be trying harder to hide among you. It would be more calculated and less erratic. it's probably afraid and when you possess something you feel trapped, like you have no way out, and you fall back on base instincts. Safety, comfort."
"So we find what makes the monster feel safe?"
"If the host is weak, yeah. The possessor has control and is the driving force. But Silver's a world-jumper right?" The shock on Bim's face says that he isn't expecting the spirit to know that, but if the egos don't want their secrets to be known then maybe they should check the shadows for spirits before having secret conversations.
Mare continues. "You get two strong minds in one body and the pressure builds. The lines between them blur and it can be hard to tell what thought came from which mind. Silver feels the instinct to flee to safety, doesn't realise it's not his-"
"Goes to where he feels safe." Bim finishes, finally catching up.
"You know Silver better than anyone. Where would he go?"
Bim goes silent. Silver doesn't do safety. He rushes headfirst into danger. He's idiotic and reckless and doesn't think beyond the next few minutes. It's like he has no regard for himself, for his own safety. Realisation dawns on Bim's face. Like he's waiting for someone to come and save him.
