[That's it. That, and...a number of blank lines for people to guess letters. If they're interested in playing, that is. He apparently hasn't seen fit to explain the game, but if you stay tuned, you might catch the general gist of it.]

[[ooc: guessable words are in the comments. Please feel free to threadjack/make new words at your leisure!]]

Comments

[ungrieved]

Definitely. You should spread the word, so everyone knows how dangerous heffalumps are.

[He's gonna turn the kid into a laughingstock. Like a little goblin. She's so earnest. What else can he lead her to believe, all without hardly even needing to try?]

[This could be fun.]

[catpiper]

[HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF YOURSELF GABE

BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S GONNA DO.]

Okay, you should too. People will be safe if we tell them about this scary thing.

[She leans down to pick up her lil cat so she can get started on this quest.]

[ungrieved]

[EXTREMELY. EXTREMELY PROUD.]

Better hop to it. I hear heffalumps really like to eat cats. [Someone please stop him.]

[catpiper]

[OH. OKAY.

SEE? That?? That changes things. The cat predator variation of this monster terrifies her far more than the one that eats kids. Which is to say, she's terrified x10 and holds her cat close to her chest.

No heffalump will eat you nugget. Mama Ren is here.]

Okay, I'll run very fast. You should be careful too.

[ungrieved]

Oh, I'm always careful.

[But he still seems decidedly unbothered by all of this. In fact, he seems rather pleased. This is precisely the kind of reaction he always intends to elicit, and though he keeps regrettably falling flat, at least this is proof that he hasn't completely lost touch with it.]

[Or it might be because he's tormenting a LITERAL CHILD HERE but that hasn't crossed his mind tbh]

You watch your kitty's back, now.

[catpiper]

[She nods in a resolute, determined sort of way because now cats are involved. No need to warn her twice, nugget. She's going to protect all her feline friends.

And off she goes into the great beyond.]
