a totally urgent broadcast not brought to you by a dumb robot

[tomodachi]

[Like any good pirate, Crow always likes to check what treasures he's collected so far. His collection of rocks, a whistle and hammer he found in his bag when he first arrived here, some box with the words "first aid" on it and... oh, hello. Here's something that he had in the bottom of the bag here, a strange charm of some kind. Normally he just sort of swings it a little back and forth here, but for the first time, he notices words that are actually printed on it here.]

"Speak my words, that lawful phrase... And I will feed you, for all your days"? The heck does that mean...?

[He doesn't get a lot of time to ponder this though because it's starting to get uncomfortable to hold in his hand--despite not being able to feel pain, he can still sort of tell when something is not right temperature wise sometimes, and this is enough that he ends up throwing it in alarm at a nearby tree...

... which then begins to change to turn into chocolate when the charm comes in contact with it before falling back onto the ground harmlessly. Um.]

What the heck just happened!?

[It takes a moment, but eventually Crow approaches the tree warily to poke at, coming away with a slight chocolate stain on his glove here. There can only be one conclusion to make, and thus, he leaves the following message on the iStone for all to see--]



I THREW SOMETHING AT A TREE AND NOW THE TREE IS MELTING WHAT DO I DO



[Alternatively, you can come and see the tree now made of chocolate and maybe break off a piece to eat for yourself?? Probably sooner than later seeing as it is the month of June and chocolate is probably going to melt in summer heat, though it is currently holding strong for the time being.]

[tomodachi]

... You really think it's that dangerous?

[It is just a tree... that happens to be melting brown stuff, yes, but...]

[catpiper]

[She looks to the freaking melting tree and says-]

I don't know, but it's scary.

[tomodachi]

Hah, I ain't scared of anything! In fact, I'll show this tree I'm more than tough enough to handle it.

[... Maybe stop your stupid robot friend before he attempts to touch (or even punch) the tree, from the look of things here.]

[catpiper]

[Oh my GOD where is SETO she can't even with this guy!!

She reaches out to grab his arm so fast if he doesn't move away-where's your supervisor? She wants to lodge a complaint.]

Wait!

[tomodachi]

[Arm grab successful! To Crow's displeasure that is.]

Why? It's not like we've got any other better ideas.

[catpiper]

[NANI THE HECK CROW???]

Running is a good idea. That's 'better'.

[tomodachi]

How is that "better"?

[catpiper]

Because that's safe.

[CROW LORD]

[tomodachi]

Being safe all the time is so boring, though...

[... But she isn't wrong that running is the safer option, at least.]

[catpiper]

[#INHALESx2!!!!!

What is it?? With you brave people?? Why are you like this???]

It's not 'boring'-it's good.

[tomodachi]

I didn't say it wasn't good.

[A pause, and then--]

What if we got someone else to take a look at it then?

[catpiper]

[This problematic plan becomes slightly less troubling with that suggestion.]

Okay. We'll find someone and they can fix it.

[Deal with it, essentially, she approves.]

What about Seto?

[As much as she hates to involve him, his track record for Dealing With Things and solving problems is great. ]

[tomodachi]

Yeah, he might know what's up, he's smart like that.

[catpiper]

He's very smart. He'll know what to do.

[tomodachi]

Yeah. We just gotta find him and have him take a look at it!
