our neurotic inside dog got out and is running way too fast around the neighborhood

[crittersheep]

WHO: Rose (+ Lethe, Charon, and Maomao)
WHERE: outer meadow
WHEN: Day 27, night

[Rose has been running around for the past day and a half, prepping everything they'll need for the mist expedition to save Angel Devil from eternal wolfhood. But in the wee hours of the morning, the night before they planned to head out, Shadow Fiend's bell jingles gently. If she weren't still awake, she might have missed it. But she doesn't, and when she follows a hunch and checks on Angel Devil's location, she gets the distinct ping of a flock member in the pasture—before it recedes back into the vague sense of "in the mist."

So screw tomorrow morning. This might be the best chance they have of avoiding an extended mist expedition. And so, a mass cube call goes out, to all of Rose, and Lethe, Charon, and Maomao, too.]

WAKE UP! Um, sorry. Change of plans, we're going after Angel Devil now. I just sensed him at the edge of the mist. He stepped back inside, but he can't have gone far—this might be our best chance. He's not far from where we planned to meet up tomorrow, too. Okay! See you there.

[ she's here kind of by coincidence since i don't think she knows too many rosequest deets but gives him a little bow ]

Yes, I would like to assist, if that's alright. I cannot actually go out with you myself, but, ah, I can share my experience and my powers.

Dramatic aesthetic. Hey, you can help out with the bait pile.

He is... the Rose-iest Rose possible, I think.

We'll get Angel Devil back safe and sound so he can tell you all about it, okay?

Certainly. I like that plan quite a bit.
