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?]

Um...

I kinda should maybe tell you something.

Promise promise you won't throw me out, or hurt me?

[Truth field, activated!]

[noarchitact]

[ ...sus. ]

I can't promise that without knowing what you intend to tell me first... [ you going to ask me to bring a collar down to death to piss her off and split her into three different doggos so i have to listen to her scream in pain while everybody plays a horrible game, because I WILL THROW YOU OUT IF THAT'S THE CASE YOUNG LADY. ]

And saying that upfront isn't filling me with confidence.

[debug_mode]

I saw your teammate in the forest and he needed help.

[noarchitact]

[ and frowning. he's not mad, but he sure looks concerned. ] Which teammate? [ going to attempt to look around and take stock of who he can and can't see. ]

[debug_mode]

Crescendo. He had climbed a tree and got himself stuck there. He has red hair and cat-features.

[noarchitact]

[ . . . ]

[ how did our 'cat' boy get himself stuck in a tree??? ]

Can you take me to him?

[debug_mode]

...I can.

[she bites her lip]

Will you promise you won't hurt me, desert me, leave me to be hurt, or otherwise get someone else to do it?

[noarchitact]

As long as you promise me the same.

[debug_mode]

Well, you're bigger, stronger, and there's more of you than me, but yes, I'll promise.

[noarchitact]

I'm not sure I would go that far. [ stronger. he's seen a lot of STRONK smol girls. ] But we can't leave him in that tree, so let's go. And thank you for letting us know.

[debug_mode]

Okay~ Follow me!

[to option 3?]

[noarchitact]

[ let's go! ]
