INTO THE UNKNOWN

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Some Sheep
WHERE: The Beach (and beyond??)
WHEN: TBD

[IT'S A (probably) NICE DAY AT THE BEACH. YOU COULD BE DOING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. LOUNGING. HUNTING. FRIENDSHIP. COURTING??

But you're here instead. The sea seems relatively calm today, though you can see the wall of mist far, far in the distance still. Well, surely this won't go sour. Better get any last minute prep done!]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Scarab chitters incomprehensibly ]

...

[ sobers up a tiny bit, addressing Scarab directly again ]

Still, thanks for all you did back there. Looks like we found Rose's priest... or a very good imitation.

Re: THE WHIRLPOOL

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Scarab tilts his body one way and then the other, and very deliberately says in a tinny monotone: ]

MISSION COMMANDER:AKRINAK APPROVAL LOGGED. SELF:SCARAB: AGREE. PRIEST:ROSE PROBABILITY: HIGH.

Re: THE WHIRLPOOL

[catposting]

[ he's adoooorableeeeee ]

To think they were out there this whole time... really makes me wonder where the other priests are. Any luck with finding Lily's?

Re: THE WHIRLPOOL

[spinebuddyandme]

NEGATIVE. TASK:LOCATE PRIEST:NOT INITIATED.

Can't day I'm too surprised, with how busy Lily seems to be. But likewise, with Clover's.
