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? ]

......I dunno who that is. We were 'sploring the ocean.

[jerkalope]

He's a guy who famously went searching for the Fountain of Youth. Like the first famous example of Florida Man.

What were you doing in the ocean?

[spinebuddyandme]

He musta really screwed up if he's a Florida Man.

[ squints suspiciously at his collar for a moment before shrugging whatever concern he had off ]

Just lookin'. A bunch've us wanted to find out what's there, but we ran inna whirly-pool 'n got sent back.

[jerkalope]

[ wow this profiling is even ingrained in the youth!! ]

Eesh, glad nobody felt like they had to drag me along for that. I'm not an aquatic fearsome critter.

So there's whirlpools out there in the ocean? Any other hazards? Like giant tentacled ladies?

[spinebuddyandme]

Not this time, but we needa Weed for next time.

An' there's lotsa sharks, but only in th'mist.

[jerkalope]

A Weed that enjoys water more than just taking a bath.

[ which means not him. ]

Hold up, how can there be mist underwater? That seems kind of impossible to add condensed moisture to something already so moist.

[spinebuddyandme]

Don' worry. Prob'ly gonna ask Levi's brother.

[ Gives him a very serious reassuring pat ]

An'...I dunno. I guess mist's magic?

[jerkalope]

Levi's brother? Wasn't he on Thistle?

[ eh, probably another rotation. given how Levi likes to show his teeth, his brother might make a good Weed. he accepts the pat since maybe this is reassuring for small child. who knows. ]

...hmm, if not that blowhard Edgelord would go if you told him he could punch a shark.

1/2

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah, but now he's not. Like Perci was but now he's not either...

[spinebuddyandme]

[ perks up a lil at the mention of Edgelord ]

Oh yeah! Bluebell likes him a lot. He's a good idea.

[jerkalope]

He's the only idea I have. Apparently the Weed with water powers vanished and the rest are...

[ himself, some birds, toxic Mean Girls, a pretty boy, and a dumb fighty guy who doesn't know how shirts work. ]

Hah, good thing you'd only need one or two.

[spinebuddyandme]

Th'rest are weird.

[ Among other things ]

It's prob'ly gonna be okay if it's Ratat...um... Rata. He'll be nice 'cause it's his brother.

[jerkalope]

So they actually get along? Hey, that is lucky!

[ good thing there isn't a proper Mufasa and Scar expy for Twisted Wonderland ]

If you insist on going back, you should bring some sealed blood packets to lure the sharks away. Shoot one open and watch them swarm.
