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.

What the fuck is - like Rikki Tikki Tavi? [He's like . . . 65% sure that was a mongoose.] Does she like mongeese?

[ohshitsweetflips]

[Taako is thrilled.]

Yes, exactly like Rikki Tikki Tavi, finally someone around me has some culture.

[Taako is more than 65% sure the plural is not mongeese, but. The spirit of the thing.]

So yeah, Ren's big time into mongeese.

[That's...kinda true? She'll like it, anyway, even if he is mostly just trying to trick someone into drawing mongooses.]

[yourattention]

[A goose and a goose make two geese, therefore a mongoose and a mongoose is two mongeese. One buffalo, two buffali as Mary-Kate and Ashley would say.]

Ok. I can probably draw a mongoose. [It's just a weasel, but cute. Probably.] If it's bad, I'm from Pennsylvania and I have never seen an animal in my life.

[He laughs, just a little, but more than a courtesy-laugh.]

Yeah, that's fair. I'm sure it'll be fine, they're just long cats anyway. Probably a few scattered around already.
