MISSION STATUS: Mist creatures are on very high alert. Saw a bunch of mist beasts fuse into progressively bigger ones. Two out of four science projects sustained werewolf bites, one teammate got lost to mist as a werewolf, and ten-ish birds were absorbed by the Wolf King's Court, which craves death so, so much.

Also, learned to not use darkness magic of any kind on the mist beasts.

...You're precious. Like a fairy wanted to make a turtle-cat chimera and forgot what the shells are supposed to be made of on the way.

[a baker's dozen of birds arrives. maybe they picked the number for luck.

they arrive silently and wing in to land on the fenceposts, like tiny guards.]

Thanks, I try my best.

[ he's dressed the same way as he was yesterday, in a loose-fitting black outfit* (ponytail included) that looks like it was handcrafted out of a large blanket, with a sunflower triple fastened onto his back. there's a hidden revolver strapped to his thigh. surely he won't need it.

*it's not the same dirty outfit, he had two of them made. he's not a barbarian. ]

[ waves ]

Hi. How would you like to travel?

[ are you guys gonna perch on their heads and steer that way or ]

...Teleute.

_{[ the verbal recognition he gives is no more than that. He feels like he's got an ice cube down in his chest, standing so close to so much of her. He's got a sunflower at hand, himself, following the cat's advice. Its head subtly turns away from their little fleet on the fence. ]}

One for each of you, on a shoulder. The rest of us will keep apace.

We can speak to you, even if you lose vision; if you do not follow directions, that is not our responsibility.

[unlike thirteen, fourteen is counted quite an unlucky number, isn't it? but that's knowledge between the two of them alone.]

Hello, little chick.

_{[ angie, himself, has the the sunflower he was told to bring... and also...

...well, as a Rose, the most practical clothes he has are actually... his copy of Yama's outfit, that he got just the other day. These particular clothes he has 0 memory as having a connection to Blood Fiend. The whole ensemble is much more red than the real thing, but it's startlingly practical for Angie.

It probably means he doesn't plan on wasting magic to protect his clothes. ]}

Needs must, I suppose.
...I AM loath to be hauling this everywhere in my hands... _{[ moves the sunflower from hand to hand...

You COULD hold it with your tail, angie. If you weren't a coward. ]}

[ Surely I'm at least to be considered fledged, by now... with half the things he's done, what a nightmare if not. ]

If it offends you to still be in the nest, then find your wings soon, instead of only stretching them.

[ Zenith is dressed in a typical Clover-themed athletic outfit with a freshly cracked sunflower around his shepherd's staff. He doesn't exactly look excited to join, but he does look ready to go. ]

So.

Care to give us our mission objectives this time, Fifi?

[ so they can't talk verbally at all in this form, huh. either that or they're playing the long con. no use worrying about that now. ]

That works. Seems like the most practical approach.

[ stick to the agreement and everything'll be gucci, surely. ]

_{[ cannot help but pull this "hnhnhnhnhn" face every time he hears "Fifi" spread a little farther, even though he knows the cat doesn't even mind it. ]}

What an interesting choice they made. I sincerely look forward to seeing what you do.

Hello, Zenith. We admit surprise, that we were invited.

But we do not love the Wolf King. They are not, we suppose, incorrect to rely on that.

We look forward to seeing what you do, as well.

[ waves! hey Cloverlord. ]

Mostly scouting this time. Get as far as we can without entering combat, fighting only as necessary. If things end up looking too dangerous, we retreat.

If we meet the Wolf King again... Teleute will attempt to extract information from him. Be ready to retreat fast in that case.

[ as if they weren't already going as fast as they could the last time. ]

[ meow ]

[ the Yama outfit is... actually the least of his worries for once. and it is practical.

raises a brow and looks pointedly at Angie's invisible tail. ]

Yes.

It will be your turn to owe us, after this.

_{[ they are both clearly thinking the same thing.

...for now, he pointedly sets it to floating in the air beside him. If he needs to when theyre out in the mist-- he probably won't even have to consciously TRY to grab its stem, more's the kicker. ]}

I'm also surprised, though Fifi isn't exactly known for making good decisions. If your intent is to kill the Wolf King... I doubt even you would be capable of such a thing. But perhaps he has a mind you can breach.

...but look on the bright side. We can comment on all the stupid things the two of them do without them ever knowing what we're saying.
