WHO: Mute + anyone
WHERE: Assorted Locations
WHEN: Forward dated to 85
WHAT: wishes and promises


[ If you are a team mate or friend or frankly enemy of Mute, you may find them in your shadow today, hovering at a distance in the way they do when they want to talk but aren't sure how to open the conversation.

Notable, now, is a visible tether of blue light, leading from their heart towards the fountain. It matches the color of their collar and shimmers with possibility and power. ]

nods ]

[arrowace]

[ gives him a wry smile, nods back ]

[wants_the_phd]

[she has no idea what's going on. also she only has one arm.]

...You seem troubled. Something on your mind?

[arrowace]

Not . . . troubled.

I have something for you.

[villainrole]

[There is but a froggy silverware left behind for Mute to mysteriously find. Someone wants them to travel together in their future journey apparently.]

[arrowace]

[ bitch, ]

[poisonista]

[ He's just watering the flowers in the garden with the sheep at Rose, when he feels himself being watched. Without looking up- ]

I know I'm a vision, but you really ought to say something.

[ Which. Is when he looks up and notices the tether and blinks, turning to see... ]

... Hello, Mute?

[arrowace]

[ He's a special case, since they do know his preferences. They're approaching before he even calls them out. ]

Hello Belle.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ of course he's staring directly at that weirdly ethereal tether ]

... What's that about?

[arrowace]

[ doesn't answer in words, just hugs him tightly ]

[normalanimal]

[ this is suddenly the most anxious looking luna moth in the world. do they know. DO THEY KNOW ]

[arrowace]

[ im gonna eat it ]

[stirtheblood]

...Hm?

[squints at the light]

What's that thing?

[arrowace]

My wish.

[electricflock]

[ string :v peck :V ]

[arrowace]

. . . [ chirp chirp whistle ]

[noarchitact]

[ fantasia is out with tempo, but he stops dead in his tracks when he sees mute with the visible tether. ] Mute? What's... what's that?

[arrowace]

It's . . . my wish.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[They will find Rubato out in the meadow touching grass. Well, more accurately he's laying in some shrubs, easy to miss unless you're a tracker.]

[arrowace]

[ silently tucks themselves up next to him ]

[eonsadrift]

[ Ah, he knows what this is... he'll glance at Mute and nod. ]

You'll do well.

[arrowace]

[ ur a pal, Zenith ]

Yes.

[mykidisthebest]

[he's outside feeding the critters when he notices, though it's more that the blue tether of light catches his eye before he registers them in the shadows]

Mute? What's up?

[arrowace]

[ the approach but . . . can't get the words out just yet. Instead they offer a hand to take some of the feed off him. They know his routines by now. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He pauses when he realizes that Mute is following behind him. Turning around, he blinks down at them.]

Mute-kun? You know that you are always welcome to talk to me if-

[ . . . He stares at the strange tether.]

. . . Mute-kun?

[arrowace]

. . . Crescendo.

[dadinside]

[the first thing that catches his eyes is the bright blue tether.]

... What's going on?

[arrowace]

[ huffs ]

It’s time to go.

[endsjustified]

[oh]

So that’s what it looks like.

[arrowace]

[ not even bothering to nod. Just slams into him hug-style. ]
