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?]

It was, actually. Easy, right? Did you need help with something too? I did agree to an exchange.

[catposting]

It was pretty easy.

[ surprisingly so, especially after encountering the other black collars. it's unfortunate; he'd actually wished for a more personal question for limit testing purposes. oh, well. always next time. ]

So, why did the snake summon you here?

[mykidisthebest]

[there will be plenty more opportunities to test it probably,]

To "sow chaos and discord" or something along those lines. You probably don't have to worry about it too much, but if any of the other people with black collars try messing with you, that's probably why.

[ sir one of the others just tried to set their barn on fire. ]

You don't seem very chaotic.

[mykidisthebest]

[he does that sometimes literally all the time sorry]

That's because I'm just a normal person. Any chaos I may cause is purely unintentional, I promise.

[catposting]

That sounds worse, actually.

[mykidisthebest]

--How is that worse?!

[catposting]

You just admitted to being unpredictably chaotic. Know what else is unpredictably chaotic?

[mykidisthebest]

I don't need to know. I wasn't guaranteeing I'd be unpredictably chaotic. I was saying that on the small chance that chaos happens, which it shouldn't at all, it won't be an intentional ploy on my part. Otherwise I wouldn't bother telling you what the snake wants us to do around here.

[catposting]

That's fair.

[ UNCONVINCED, but at least this guy can make conversation, unlike their resident chaotic pink sheep. speaking of- ]

Has he said much about Blossom?

[mykidisthebest]

The snake? I haven't talked to him yet.

[he just left us unsupervised]

[catposting]

... He just summoned you and dipped?

[mykidisthebest]

He sure did!

[catposting]

[ great. ]

Well, welcome to the pasture. You're stuck here until you aren't. Enjoy being governed by the talking animals.

[mykidisthebest]

Charon gave me a similar introduction. I bet you guys rehearse that. But, thanks! I do actually appreciate it.

[catposting]

[ bites lip ]

Yeah, Charon and I rehearse lines together all the time. Keeps the welcome speeches consistent, you know?

[mykidisthebest]

[very serious]

Mm, he seems like the type to rehearse his introductions. You don't, though!

[catposting]

[ shrug ]

People aren't always what they seem.

[mykidisthebest]

Well, you can't judge people by appearances, of course. But you seem pretty laid back in general, so it feels hard to imagine you rehearsing anything.

[catposting]

Are you saying he isn't laid back?

[mykidisthebest]

It's hard to say. I saw him when he couldn't exactly walk very well, so I feel like that's a poor time to see how laid back someone is or not.

[catposting]

Ah, yeah... he and Lily suffered a lot the past couple of days. I wouldn't blame him for being different from usual.

He's usually very friendly.

[mykidisthebest]

Oh, he was plenty friendly. Just...how do I say it. He doesn't talk about himself too much.

[catposting]

Hmmm. That's pretty normal around here, especially since... you've heard about the "games", right?

[mykidisthebest]

"Games"? I've heard about demons and Death asking questions that result in people dying or being severely injured.

[gestures towards him]

I heard Rose died the first time around. Doesn't sound much like a game to me.
