iStone PSA, Night of May 1st (NOW WITH MORE LUP)

[ohshitsweetflips]

[A very ceremonious and entirely fake throat-clearing issues from every last Stone of Farspeech, the night of May 1st. Including Ren's, but (fortunately?) her Stone has been skillfully taken into custody by some elves. Don't worry, she gets it back in the end, she won't even miss it.]

Heeeey, so tomorrow is Ren's birthday, as I'm sure everybody knows.

[An airy, overly affable lead-in. Kinda makes the rest of the message, which is more business-like, a little jarring.]

Well, we're calling dibs. We're gonna do a whole thing, like a surprise thing? We're gonna send her out to do bullshit errands or whatever, so we can get stuff set up. But! Nobody can tell her happy birthday before like, noon, or she'll spook and probably hide in the jungle forever.

[One quick afterthought--]

And me or Lup will personally set you on fire or turn you into a molerat. But after that, go bananas.

[Followed by a brief scuffle, and then the Lup's unmistakable voice speaking unCOMFortably close and intense into the stone--]

Don't mess this up for us OR Ren, Enso. We know where you live. PEACE OUT.

I dunno, we're gonna do like, a Grand Tour thing, we're not gonna bogart Ren all day. Like Lup said, we know where you live.

[Know, and at least in Taako and Ren's case, have probably also broken in for fun.]

Maybe like, the beach? 'S really your call, homie.

[solperierat]

Oh, 's that the plan? I'll keep her stuff at the hut, then.

[Ed has just accepted that the goblin child is going to be in places she shouldn't at this point. Taako he'll still shout at, though.]

You got a path you're planning on following for this, or just where her whims take you all?

[ohshitsweetflips]

[By all means, shout away. Someone has to.]

Yeah, that, the whim thing. Feel like that's the most...in the birthday spirit.

[This is a lot of strategy for a birthday.]

It's just gonna be hard to hit all the highlights, you know?

[Which is to say, again, he stole the best orphan on the island and Ren's a star.]
