WHO: anyone
WHERE: anywhere
WHEN: Day 9, morning through to late afternoon

[well there's still new landmarks to explore, new teammates (and new ragged individuals) to meet. occasional gunfire's been resounding through the woods sometimes, scaring birds up into the air and sending wandering pygmidillos in the meadow askitter.

what are you up to this fine day?]

That's right. I'm not sure! I've barely had the chance to watch them in action, so far as I know.

_{[ he misses his own illusion powers yas they were lost in the great nerf wars :( ]}

[ heheheh. ]

I'll ask. Perhaps our black-collared friend would enjoy setting fire to some "mist barns".

[pleasantmisery]

[Shadow Fiend will leave the plotting to those who are good at it and keep an eye on Mystery Pyromaniac in case he shows signs of waking and she needs to knock him out again.]

[catposting]

If you guys have a better idea in the meantime, don't let me stop you.

[ heads off to Lily. the illusions won't work, but apparently none of that know that yet. ]

[pleasantmisery]

[cheerfully waving him on his way while still standing vigilantly with her shepherd's staff in hand]

No objections here! It'll be good for a laugh, at least.

an hour? later

[ pops back up after talking to Charon.

where's Dabi, still here? ]

Re: an hour? later

[wooliefrand]

[i got too many journals open but yea there he is, passed out]

Re: an hour? later

[pleasantmisery]

[Shadow Fiend waves at them from where she's still standing guard]

Hello! He's still here, don't worry!

Re: an hour? later

[catposting]

So, bad news: Illusions don't work on the mist.

[ figures, considering what Thistle had relayed about the ram demon lair and barn powers. ]

Charon had a couple of other suggestions, though. Either we toss him at Red if we see him at night, or throw him straight into the mist. If we throw him straight in, we don't have to wait, and it's unlikely that anyone would rescue him. But throwing him at Red could be funnier.

Up to you guys.

Re: an hour? later

[pleasantmisery]

I do like funny, but I'm mostly concerned with getting him out of our hair, like, as fast as possible. I wanna do things other than make sure a mysterious pyromaniac stays safely unconscious!

So throw him in the mist, I guess? What's even in there, anyway?

Re: an hour? later

[catposting]

Ram demons and mist wolves, apparently.

If we want him out of our hair ASAP, I'd suggest throwing him telekinetically. That way we won't run into any distracting encounters on the way.

[ is Angel Devil still around? ]

[finalbows]

<sub>[ no, he absolutely abandoned his shepherd since she has such a great bonking stick and all. but a quick poke with the ol' talky cube will summon him right up, he was probably even still in earshot of a good bellow of 'OY, ANGEL DEVIL.'

anyway he's here, Now, at least :) ]</sub>

Alright, alright, I'm here. Now, what did you need again? ...We haven't put him in the river yet?

[catposting]

Change of plan: we're throwing him in the mist. Telekinetically.

[ pointed look at Angel Devil, the Known telekinetic. ]

Nobody's gonna fish him out of there.

[pleasantmisery]

You don't think the other black collar guys will? That's kinda sad... But not our problem!

[finalbows]

Very definitively not our problem. Well, alright, let's go feed the dreadful murderous mist presence some fresh meat, I suppose. I didn't think we'd be resorting to potential execution this quickly, but it is a very nice kitchen, and I'd wager to agree he hasn't any friends or mothers handy.

[catposting]

Hey, Thistle made it out alive. If he can't, that's still not our problem.

Besides, as I told Shadow Fiend — this was Charon of Lily's generous suggestion. It's pretty convenient for us, so let's make sure to thank him sometime.

[pleasantmisery]

I mean, I don't feel great about it, but if it's possible to get out alive, then he'll probably be okay? I mean, he has fire powers and stuff! Bad for our house, so probably bad for ram demons and things.

And if he does get maimed by something in there, then it'll be an object lesson in why he shouldn't fuck with Rose!

[catposting]

I believe in him.

[finalbows]

Just thought I should offer the perspective.

_{[ waves his hand lazily. there's a floating black collar pyromaniac now, gently bobbing in the air with limp ragdoll physics. ]}

Lead the way.

[catposting]

... You know the whole point of the telekinesis is to not have a bunch of Roses surrounding an unconscious guy, right?

[finalbows]

...

<sub>[ says nothing. crosses his arms.

you outed his plan to tether the spell to someone else and abandon them to do it so he doesn't have to. he was going to suggest whacking him with something to send him rocketing off into the mist like a baseball. ]</sub>

[catposting]

[ also says nothing, just looks amused. this is his "do you really think I'm stupid" face. ]

[finalbows]

_{[ there goes his team player act. ]}

...

_{[ starts eyeballing the trajectory between here and the nearest part of the mist. can he get away with just throwing him really really really hard from here, he's feeling lazy after all that activity earlier ]}

[catposting]

[ i mean. sure?? ]

Herd mentality's great, isn't it?

[finalbows]

You're horrid. We could have had curtains.
