[ Around late morning Spinel returns home from out and about, sneaking in a handful of foodstuffs in her arms. ]

Heeeey! You guys better grab what you want from the cafeteria 'fore it's all gone!

[aididitmyway]

Is it more than what we had earlier??

[adorabrawler]

More? ... Oh, were you already out?

[sweetsmarts]

Why're you plannin' to eat all of it?

[adorabrawler]

Yep. Every last bite. I might've already made it all disappear.

[aididitmyway]

[whoa!!

ruby's not doing anything exciting for once, unless you count using her phone to take a million different selfies, then shaking her head and deleting it, before taking more]

[beathollow]

( yes well sorry selfie-time but the gf is tired and is going to just flop down beside her. hi. hello )

[aididitmyway]

[oh, well, that's fine. she puts her phone down.]

Sonata?

[sweetsmarts]

Tryin' for a specific shot?

"Good Ends"

After that mess of a ritual I gained the ability to see the strings tying all of you to this realm.

If Stormy is to be believed, which I'm inclined to say he is, then I'm capable of using these threads to see if you're ready to be sent home. I can also grant you some kind of wish, though I'm unsure of the restrictions.

I'm also uncertain of what criteria must be met in order to "disconnect" the strings tying you to this realm, but...

Should any of you want to return home immediately, I'll see what I can do.

Re: "Good Ends"

[aididitmyway]

Cool, but I'm not going anywhere until I know mama is safe.

What does it look like? Is it a marionette kind of deal, because I'm not sure I'm okay with that if it is?

Re: "Good Ends"

[sweetsmarts]

Huh...so, they look different to you if we're ready or not?

[ Is...ANYONE READY? How do you know if you feel ready ]

Re: "Good Ends"

[beathollow]

( her strings are good and thick and tight. she isn't going anywhere any time soon. )

... That does sound nice. At least something good has come of this place, since I know so many hate it.

[ there are exactly three threads tying him here, one pointing vaguely in the direction of... the lighthouse???, the other pointing straight into the forest? mist? kinda hard to tell directions from here.

the third one is wrapped around Zenith's neck like a noose. ever felt like you've shared too much with someone and now have to kill them? except you can't, because you're a goddamn sheepdog and don't really want to kill your friend, so the best you have is some halfhearted posturing that you can't even see? that's the vibe.

all three seem solid enough. ]

This is getting into fairytale territory.

Re: "Good Ends"

[adorabrawler]

... So we still can't leave whenever we want?

[ Unfortunately for her, Spinel's strings are all still firmly intact. ]

[adorabrawler]

—Oh, right! Since we're all here now anyway...

Me and Zenith were talking, and we're planning on heading into the mist again real soon. We wanna see if we can make it back to that wolf guy's fancy mansion, ooor what's probably left of it, anyway—apparently we missed a cave or something that's worth checking out. So, who's in? We are definitely going to try avoiding a fight with that wolf, by the way, since... well, we're nowhere near prepared enough for a round two, but we can't promise we won't be found, either, so—keep that in mind.

There's also that whole priest thing, but do we have any idea what we want to do to lure 'em out? If they're actually out there...

[sweetsmarts]

I'm in. For...both things? Not sure about the priest thing...would we need to lure 'em out with, like, Clover...things?

[eonsadrift]

The intention is for an actual stealth mission this time, to try and avoid him altogether.

...though I would like to see if we can get a look at his mansion as well, depending on if he's still hanging around there or not. Considering the damage we did to it, I'm hoping he's living somewhere else for now.

[catposting]

Did you ever get round to asking Red for that guy's name? His real one.

[aididitmyway]

We could do both. We could just try doing a rite out there to guide them to us, right? So...

Maybe we could bring food and some of it has the spiciest pepper pod in it or something, if they're hungry, they have to take the chance. Maybe they have to roll the dice to pick which one too, I guess. We have enough rice to make a bunch of onigiri.

[beathollow]

... I'm not sure if I can go. I do want to help find the priest, but... I can't even go into the meadow with a friend without my anxiety spiking.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Knock Knock Knock. Hello Clover. You have a visitor. He has with him a basket of berries.]

[sweetsmarts]

[ Opens the door. SHUTS THE DOOR -

nah he isn't that rude... ]

You're lookin' better.

[beathollow]

Oh- hello, Crescendo. Please, come on in. I'll make some tea.

[adorabrawler]

[ —uho. ]

Any strawberries in there?
