[he was asleep but that woke him instantly, f

moves quietly into the kitchen a few minutes later]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ ALREADY IN THE KITCHEN blearily trying to figure out which tea has the most caffeine in it ]

Did you breathe any of that stuff in? 'm so tired...

[mykidisthebest]

[wanders into the kitchen kind of warily, but he's here and he's gonna make coffee]

[arrowace]

[ yeah but your dreams suck, so basically you're welcome.

they are laying out some notes and sketches ]

[arrowace]

[ shakes head ]

You can . . . rest if you need. I'll . . . talk.

[ PLEASE DONT REST AND MAKE ME DO ALL THE TALKING ]

[endsjustified]

[that's fair

peers over them, heavy-eyed, expression giving nothing away]

[arrowace]

[ nods to him from where they are laying out pages of notes and this sketch ]

[arrowace]

We . . . found something.

[endsjustified]

So I see. Who are these?

[mykidisthebest]

[peers over at the sketch before looking at them]

There's a story here. You okay? Anyone hurt?

[spinebuddyandme]

No, I'm gonna... I won't go to sleep until we talk to everyone. Don't worry.

[spinebuddyandme]

—Charon! You're not gonna believe what we saw!

[arrowace]

[ shakes head ]

No injuries. Though we . . . were spotted, unfortunately. By them.

[ taps sketch ]

[endsjustified]

[with the slightest touch of humor]

You must, or you wouldn't be calling everyone together about it.

[arrowace]

A . . . leader. Hostile. No thoughts to read.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ perks up as soon as he recognizes what Lethe's doing. He's also covered in dust and the general grime of wandering through a factory ]

Can you make enough for me too?

[arrowace]

[ nods, trying not to seem too visibly relieved ]

[mykidisthebest]

[checks them over at a glance just to make sure there are no visible injuries anyways]

Being spotted isn't the end of the world. Though it does mean they'll be on high alert after this.

[spinebuddyandme]

What else were we supposed to do? We found a weird abandoned-but-not-really-abandoned nightmare factory.

Like. Literal people's nightmares.

[arrowace]

[ not injured in any way besides their normal scrapes etc. ]

Mm. Antlers . . . probably glowing.

[endsjustified]

You tried using the demon's mindreading power on them, specifically?

[arrowace]

[ nods ]

[endsjustified]

[uhhh]

Was it manufacturing them, or --

Is this why you were out of the fence bounds?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ pats their shoulder ]

... Sorry about not sticking to the original plan, by the way. I couldn't deal with listening to that...guy? Guys? The screaming was too much.

[mykidisthebest]

[he does a very not subtle up and down look over him for any big injuries before he starts on a big pot of coffee]

I'll make you an extra strong cup if you tell me what happened.
