ice cream-less party

WHO: Rose (+ visitors??)
WHERE: Rose
WHEN: Day 26, evening

[Something late afternoon, everyone on Rose received a quick cube call from Shadow Fiend, asking them to meet in the evening for Serious Business Discussion about something that's happened to Angel Devil. There is no ice cream this time, but the usual basket of apples has been moved from the kitchen to the central living area, so people can snack on them while flopped on the couch or cushion pile.

Once everyone's who's coming has gathered, Shadow Fiend gets right to it.]

So, um. Blood Fiend and Angel Devil and a couple other people went into the mist, and Angel Devil got bitten by a werewolf, and now he's lost in the mist. As a wolf.

Soooo... this meeting is for figure out how to get him back!

If we can dose him with wolfsbane, it'll reverse the effects of the werewolf bite. The problem is, you know, getting it into him, since he's now a huge feral wolf. But! I was thinking--if we can lure him out of the mist, then we could, like, use a whole bunch of vines to hold him down long enough to feed him the wolfsbane. Or knock him out and then feed it to him. Either way.

Something like this is really gonna have to be a group effort, so that's why I wanted to get everyone's ideas on how to lure him out and also knock him out. And, well, it's definitely going to involve at least a short trip into the mist, and possibly fighting Angel Devil a little if the vines aren't 100% effective. So...if you're not up for either part of that, or you ARE up for all of that, or you're up for some parts but not other parts...this is a good time to say that, too.

Can you tell me a bit more about the mist? All I know about it is that "it's harmful" but I don't have any other details.

It's full of monsters and stuff? Like, actual scary monsters. We had a few mist wolves break through the fence once and it was, uh, not good!

Flock powers don't work in there, and if you're not touching a Weed you can't see what's going on and get lost and disoriented reeeeally easily.

Hmm, okay.

So he's a wolf now? How contagious is he? I don't know much about how all the werewolf stuff works, just that it exists.

I discussed the situation with Lily's shepherd. He suggested that we bring Lethe, but wanted me to check with you guys if we'd accept the help. I have some idea of Lethe's skillset, and I know that Charon wouldn't suggest his own teammate lightly.

I trust both of them, so it's up to you.

I don't think we're really in a position to turn down help... And Lily's good people, right? I don't think Charon would've suggested it if he didn't think it'd be genuinely helpful.

What can Lethe do?

I think we can probably assume he's super contagious. And like I said, we do have a cure, but... The wolfsbane is hard to find and it's also in the mist, so. We really want to avoid getting bitten if we can.

He wouldn't have.

[ he and Charon were technically not even talking until an hour ago lmao ]

And they are, yes.

...And we can't just leave him out there, huh?

Bites and saliva are contagious.

Nope!

What about blood?

As in, if we bit him.

He has a range of resistances to status effects, some mental skills, and some party buffs. I don't doubt that he has more; Charon clearly knows more than I do. I think Lethe would rather talk about the specifics himself, if we accept the help.

[yeah, that would be TOO EASY]

...If it's that dangerous to go in the mist, could we try to lure him out, instead?

I'm not against it. If he wants to take care of this for us, then he can be my guest.

...

I have no idea, and I wouldn't want to risk it without knowing. Stormy would know the answer, but he's not here. Blossom probably knows. I don't think this is something she would lie about.

Well, some people are going to have to go into the mist in order to get his attention and, you know, start the luring. But you're right, getting him out of the mist is gonna be our best shot at taking him out.

[Getting close enough to bite would probably already be risky if he weren't immobilized. and if he IS immobilized, then there's no point in biting in the first place.]

...Just curious.

[ah right, she mentioned it in her toplevel. i am sorry for having a sponge for a brain]

I wonder what would get his attention. Food? Music?

What does he like? Or, conversely, what do werewolves like?

What are you thinking?

I'm glad to know that my associates make such well prepared and thought out trips into dangerous territory after fully informing the rest of their flock to what they might be up to.

[This is sarcasm. Said with a bright smile.]

Blood Fiend said he still seemed to have some memory of being Angel Devil--he could still use his magic and everything. So I was thinking we should start with stuff that he likes, or that would be familiar to him. It'll lower the risk of attracting non-Angel Devil werewolves, too!

I know! A head's up might've been nice. Like, what if BOTH Angel Devil and Blood Fiend didn't come back, and then we just had to sit around for days and days trying to figure out if they were just hiding somewhere or actually in some deep shit??

Well, I'll give Lethe a call and see what he says.
