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?]

Yeah. This one was covered in burns. Hard to miss.

I heard that the snake summoned them.

He did. I spoke to the one who was acting the least threatening.

It doesn't seem he's exactly giving them guidance unless they seek it out, though.

Sounds familiar.

[ thanks Blossom. ]

Was their summoning as much of a surprise as ours was?

It seems so.

Spare the friendlier ones your lake-based wrath to start with, if you can. There aren't many of them, and I want to see what the snake is trying to accomplish.

You keep painting me as such a violent person.

I must respectfully point out that the lake-based wrath was not my proposition.

If someone can't sit peacefully without provoking the wildlife via arson, it's not my problem.

[god their barns are all so damn flammable and the snake doesn't need to summon people with fire powers, it just needs to get some chump who'll go along with it and hand them some torches. he doesn't know how they're going to get around that one without questing for an inordinate amount of magic or chemicals. privately, he banishes the idea of trying to get a night's sleep again when the hallucinations go away.]

Somehow, that doesn't refute the observation.

Do you actually want to try such a thing?

Do you have better suggestions for dealing with an unconscious pyromaniac? Ones that don't involve direct harm or murder on Rose's part.

[ they're not violent!!! ]

If you do, I'm all ears. For the record, one of my teammates suggested strapping him to Cerby, but I don't know how much Cerby would like that.

I am voiding that plan immediately. We would all go deaf within an hour's time.

Why don't you just point him at a better target than the barns?

[ snickers in agreement. you tried, Angel Devil. ]

That was the objective with the mist... but since that's out of the question, what would you call a better target? I doubt any of us want to deal with a forest fire.

Wait until Red goes out again, then have a Bluebell catapult the arsonist at him.

Not bad.

You could also fling him into the mists in the hopes he finds a confrontation inside, but that is less certain. There are too many trees in the trajectory.

And you call me the violent one.

Fling him gently.

......... I'll consult my team.

Please do.

Ah. One thing. Have they demonstrated any powers granted by the snake?

Aside from the fire guy? Someone else used a truth spell on me, but I'm not sure if it did anything.

I didn't get to ask if it was from the snake or not. Said he'd talked to you, though.

[ gestures, forgetting the blindness for a moment. ]

This height, polite, suspiciously harmless. Definitely a people-watcher.

That one. Yes. He's interesting.

I am fairly sure the truth spell is from the snake, but I am trying to determine the rest of their expected skillset.

If their magic follows the rules of our barns, we can expect some sort of healing method. I guess the truth spell would count as mental magic, which leaves... well, anything. Probably one or two extra utility skills, unless the snake's summoning power vastly eclipses Blossom's.

Either way, I'm pretty sure those blue flames were the pyro's inherent ability. He mentioned something called a "quirk".

Good. I am not sure we can afford to tolerate an entire group of loose firestarters in this environment.

... You have water mages, right?

[ please say you have a contingency plan if your barn gets set on fire. ]

No.

[Aides is an all-rounder, but you don't show every card in your hand.]

We have enough ways to deal with it that it should not become an issue.

Good. Angel Devil would never let you forget it if he had to babysit you guys.
