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.

[he'll get madder if you don't ask him and he's said as much before, there's really no winning here sorry Charon. there's a long pause before a text reply appears

Thank you for telling me instead of doing it on your own.]

[a deep sigh

Styx is aware. I would appreciate keeping Lily out of it otherwise. I trust them, but I don't wish a seven-way argument on this; none of us enjoys any of the others dying, it is a given.]

[They're not going to be happy about being left out.

it's not a refusal. just commentary that they'll both get shit for it if the others find out.]

[In this case I would rather ask forgiveness than permission.]

[puts a hand over his mouth to stifle a laugh

Are you sure about that? You just told me that this task was dropped into your lap by a guy that's currently an oversized dog.]

[Does that make it not useful?]

[I haven't decided yet. I have to see the prototype body first. If it looks like a big chew toy then I'll have to reconsider.]

[LETHE DON'T MAKE HIM LAUGH WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR PERIL

We can ask Angel Devil when he is in a shape for it.]

Re: OUTSIDE THE MIST

[mykidisthebest]

[he can't help it!!

So, what, tomorrow? Though we don't need to rush it while the eye is open. We can be generous and give him two days.]

[Yes. A breather.

oops speaking of breather theirs is probably getting interrupted by an incoming ruckus now though]
