It's a dress code for everyone, to try to protect identities within the cult. Obviously, it is fine if people unmask for each other in private, which is why they didn't expect the four of us to keep our identities a secret from each other.
But since you guys aren't members, we're not really supposed to reveal anything to you guys.
... well, part of it really is curiosity. I know that between the four of us, I seem like the outlier, but we're all really similar in certain ways. We want to learn. Find information. See what's out there.
[ i'm sorry, she is also a genius obsessed with research, she's just also very cute. ]
I joined because the cult approached me, and promised things that sounded crazy, but they also presented me with proof that was not logically possible where I'm from, yet definitely real. I was curious. I wanted to see how much truth there was in what they were claiming, and if this god of theirs was real or not. If the power they were promising could actually help, or if it was something that needed to be dealt with and destroyed. But the only way to find that out was to follow them.

[ pesto wonders if they are a druid but dnd classes do not exist in their canon. ]
That ability would have been useful here.

[she's not a very helpful person.]
Well, there is no big magical tree here, but quite a great deal of nature. What do you think of this place?
no subject
[ they look around... before just wandering over to kneel down next to a bush. ]
... normal, I think. Or as normal as any place here can be.

[there's definitely some spooky energy coming from here but it's not coming from the plants.]
I don't want to be flung about in fury again.
no subject
That didn't seem fun, no.
[ there's a pause as they squint at her. ]
Do you mind if I show you something?
no subject
[curious.]
no subject
[ they're just going to take the mask off. sorry it's just a boring face reveal and not showing off a sick sword or something. ]
no subject
Look at you. Aren't you lovely?
no subject
[ cult is out there ]
But it is nicer to get some fresh air like this.

May I ask you a personal question?
no subject
Yeah, sure.
