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

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.

I can thank you both, can I not?

No need to thank me for something that's a given.

[sets him down before he accidentally drops him]

Hm.

[points back at where Azdaja has now gone Full Dragon]

[does a double-take]

Oh, hey, I was wondering if she could do that.

Everyone certainly is full of secrets in this pasture.

Was it a secret? I think she just wasn't excessively broadcasting it.

Who knows.

Magnificent form, though.

Perhaps we should just go home? They seem to have this handled now.

Hmm? Yeah, if they're giving him the wolfsbane then our job is done. He's probably going to sleep for a while anyways. Do I need to carry you home?

I'm all right.

[he's leaning kinda heavily on the Lily staff but he still seems capable of walking and stuff]

Let me know if that changes. We've got an early morning tomorrow, too...We didn't schedule this very well.

[keeps an eye on him as they head home, but doesn't offer and assist after the first time]

[he's fine! like. he's clearly real tired and stops trying to hide it once they're far enough away from Rose, but Lethe saw him function for a couple of hours after bookgate and this adventure ended up ranking below that on the 'oh god' scale]

Bed for both of us.

[the "he's clearly real tired" was all Lethe wanted to confirm once they're away from Rose; he knows Charon can handle himself and reasonably knows his limits. if he had collapsed after leaving Rose's sight, Lethe would help. but if he's just tired, well, they've both felt worse and managed just fine. they can make it back like that.]

I have to wash up first. I smell like wet dog now.

I'll make us calming tea while you do that.

[wistful]

That sounds nice. I could go for some tea.

Miss Sonata's blend is proving very useful. Adding honeysuckle will likely not go amiss.

[Lily in sight!]

[scans the area one last time just to make sure there are no monsters wandering around in the dark--they're in the pasture at this point, so honestly it's safe, but after the mists there's no harm in doing a double-check as they hop the fence to make it into Lily's meadow]

Yeah. I'm used to drinking coffee at all hours of the morning and night. Calming tea is honestly a nice change of pace.

[he's getting some!!! they are washing up getting tea and finally going back to BED]
