I'M BACK!

[We hope you didn't need your ears. If you did - sorry. Ears are overrated anyway.]

I'm back and I'm not going away again. [She'll RUN OFF AND LIVE IN THE CASTLE if they try to make her move out of Mossgate again. or something like that. She's determined to not let them take her away again.]

What did I miss?

Comments

[Audio] Walter's first line here occurred to me as I was writing.

[iamnotgod]

[Kitty is not Chad; all the same, his ears are still ringing.

He's grateful to hear from her, though, because he has a question.]

Most notably, all the dormice in Mossgate have unionized.

They're trying to herd us down into the cave system, though no one's been able to figure out why - or how to get down there.

I don't suppose you know of any unofficial entrances?

[runs]

[The only time that she's heard about unions so far was in history class when they learned about the coal miner strikes.] ...They're on strike?

[What.

But for the question...] Of course I do. What's in it for me, though? [Is she trying to get sweets out of people for her help? Fuck yeah she is.

[iamnotgod]

If they're striking, I don't know from what.

But they are gathering.

[And it's not the most important part, anyhow.

Walter doesn't have to guess at what she's aiming for... but he also knows that this is Kitty.]

Assuming we all survive what we find down there, ice cream.

A lot of ice cream.

[Ice cream therapy? Perhaps.]

[runs]

A big pot of ice cream every day for two weeks!

[Yes, she's totally going to haggle about the definition of what a lot of ice cream is here.

...though she is curious about the whole thing, and will most definitely show up to help them find a way inside. Still. Why not haggle for more ice cream if you can?]

[iamnotgod]

[Internally, Walter sighs.]

Specify how big, first. We don't all use the same pot, you know.

[And, small though it is in comparison, he won't forgive himself if she actually gets sick as a result.]

[runs]

[...okay, so, she's going to try and not overdo it.]

Like Ben and Jerry's size!

[iamnotgod]

[Good.]

Then you'll have it.

Any place you care to meet?

[runs]

At the band stand on the Greens.

[That's as easy a place as any.]

[iamnotgod]

I'll be there when you are.

[Or quite likely sooner.]

[runs]

See you there!
