It's Minglin' Time

[crittersheep]

WHO: You
WHERE: Anywhere
WHEN: Afternoon 62

[ With Bluebell's lovely morning rite, it's shaping up to be quite the peaceful day. The spring thaw continues, bringing young lilywogs with lingering stubby tails to the shores. It's easy to spot them floating among the reeds, though they're still prone to scattering if disturbed.

And across the pasture everyone is hopefully having a peaceful day, right? Or have some of you been getting up to shenanigans instead? ]

Mist.

[wants_the_phd]

What were you doing in the mist?

[electricflock]

[shifting his weight to lean on his good leg]

Were exploring nearby and heard um… voice? Smelled flowers? Someone trapped out there has something to do with Rose. Tried to find them, but had to retreat.

[wants_the_phd]

With Rose?



...Are you okay? Do you want to come to the clinic?

[electricflock]

Could be priest like Naythan.

[shakes his head, he’s not okay, but he can’t go to the clinic yet]

I need to find Quetzal.

[wants_the_phd]

Have you tried cubecalling him?

[electricflock]

No, um.

He’s dead.

[wants_the_phd]

....




[Sigh,]

No, he's not.

He teleported into the Rose barn and died instantly. His body's a wreck, so I stuck him in a temporary one while we get his original healed up.

[electricflock]

[PEEPS? HE’S NOT??]

Teleported after was bit— Will call him. Still want to see him.

[wants_the_phd]

Go ahead and call him, then. Maybe you can wait for him at the clinic while I clean your wound.

Uh... Just FYI his ability to communicate seems to be hampered slightly in his current body.

[Maybe Muffin will have better success with talking in bird]

[electricflock]

[nods and turns towards the clinic, meekly cooperative now he knows angie is OKAY]

What body is he in?

[wants_the_phd]

[...ehhehehehe]

Mourning dove.

[electricflock]

Coo??



[OH NO THATS GOING TO BE SO CUTE

AND HES GOING TO BE SO FUSSED]

[wants_the_phd]

[HE'S SOOOOO CUTE, MUFFIN!!!]

Yeah.

Oh... you know what, his magic is still working, so I bet he could heal you himself, if you don't want to go all the way to the clinic.

[electricflock]

Will need magic for his own body, won’t he?

[wants_the_phd]

Well, sure, but it's going to need more than that. Since he was bitten by a mist creature, we'll need to get some wolfsbane before it'll be safe for him to go back into his own body.

[electricflock]

Even for dead body?

[wants_the_phd]

Did you see what he was like when he went full werewolf that one time?

I really don't want to go through that again.

[WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER]

[electricflock]

[…?

what time what]

I didn’t…

[wants_the_phd]

He was bitten by a wolf once and turned into this monstrous red beast that was big enough that our whole flock could have riden on his back at the same time. Like, I could have walked straight under his belly without bumping my head.

It took the whole team, plus a few others from other teams, going all out to try to subdue him, and even then it was just barely. Now that our team only has two magic-users on it, I don't know if we could do it again.

So I really don't want him going back into his body again until it's all healed and decontaminated of any wolf cooties.

[electricflock]

[hot…]

Makes sense. Would not to find out hard way if dead bodies can still be infected.

[wants_the_phd]

[I MEAN,,, yeah, it was,,,]

Right.

So. What do you want to do about that.

[indicating his bite]

[electricflock]

[literally has not spent more than half a second thinking about his bite until now]

… Does that happen to everyone who gets bit?

[wants_the_phd]

I'm not sure. If someone's gotten bitten and hasn't turned into a wolf, I haven't heard about it. I think it would probably be wise to err on the side of caution, though.

[electricflock]

[makes a low clucking sound]

Know how to treat?
