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? ]

...

The expedition had no Weed.

[ Looks up, a bit startled and suddenly wary of getting a dreaded time out ]

Nuh-uh... I think no one thought we'd hit mist.

[endsjustified]

...

Well. No lesson harsher than the practical.

I'm not angry with you. You were not the primary coordinator.

[spinebuddyandme]

Still shoulda thought 'bout it.

[endsjustified]

You'll invitably think about it every time you join another trip that has the risk, which is all one can ask.

...

I'm doubly grateful you're all right knowing this, though.

[spinebuddyandme]

Me too. I was real worried when th'sharks showed up.

[endsjustified]

Did they just...look like sharks? Normal sharks?

[spinebuddyandme]

Uh...like normal sharks, but misty. I guess 'cause wolves can't live in th'ocean.

[endsjustified]

[thoughtfully]

It may just be that they are the ocean's equivalent of fanged beasts, but sharks are also known as 'sea wolves.'

[spinebuddyandme]

Whoa...

...

Are there sea sheep too?

[endsjustified]

I don't know terribly much about the ocean, I'm afraid, so I don't know if thre are sea sheep or shepherds.

Doesn't mean they might not exist, though, if Rose apparently has a sea priest.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ nod nod! ]

There's sea cows, so maybe! Maybe that's what Rose's priest is.

[endsjustified]

[...round...]

I wonder how they'd take that discovery. I suppose that is mostly their business unless they invite others, though.

[spinebuddyandme]

They better. They couldn'ta found it without our help.

[endsjustified]

I hope they take you back along, then. Maybe Rose's priest has a clue to ours, as well. It would be nice to know what they're like.
