This is dire.
Also strange, at least on the same level as the Shadow. You expected freaky robots and ghosts, most of the Hive heard the stories. Abstract abominations a bit less so.
A large portion of the Hive are extremely intimidated by this Light Thing, and urge a calm reaction to what's clearly attempting to piss you off.
<statement>We aren't here for trouble. We were on our way to visit the White Thing.
>"The White Thing? Is that how you name your pals? And what about adding 'the' in front of it? Is that how you see yourself, Hive Thing? Oh sorry-
>"THE Hive Thing? Did you even ask for its name?"
<statement>The... it was mute.
>"To you. They must have put your auditory input wherever they left your dick schematics. Seriously! You’re the grossest Hive-bitch I’ve ever seen!"
The lights blend together, twisting, thickening- you hear the sound of wood start to crack as hundreds of eyes fixate on you. There is no gap in the living fence- not a single crack to escape from--
>"Just how useless were you Losers in life to think this is better? Was the noose just~too~spooky for ya? Or were you so heavy the ceiling woulda fell. Ha~Ha!"
<stern inquiry> What will it take for you to just let us leave?
>"... Oh? Freedom? To sell crap pizza and hang out with robots since real Humans are just too scary for you? You're just so desperate for that yummy, yummy escapism!"
You grip the Chain-whip tight, bracing. Many mouths laugh at once- echoing together in a nauseating chorus before-
>"What the fuck, sure. I'll let you go. Provided you really wallow in how little control you have the second you leave your widdle wood shack.
>"Touch my Light."

>"... If I wanted to kill you I'd have done it already, dumbass! Do what I tell you, and don't you dare ask if it's a trick-and in my kindness I'll let you and Bucket-cap leave."
The mouths grin wider, spattering 'color' across the overgrown grass-burning it away, exposing the soil underneath.
>"Or do you wanna fight me? Bust my fuckin’ teeth out? Are you mad? Hive boys feeling angry? Huh? Are ya?Are ya mad?
>”...Oooor are you a pussy who's going to do as he's told, and touch my Light?"
