Late Evening

[empereurs]

Good luck to everyone going in tonight, if this works.


[Squad 4]

We're on standby. Everyone try to get rest, in case we're called in. I hate

Also yes, I have a week of detention. No, I didn't get demoted from squad leader. Yes, I regret we did. No, we didn't see anything. Yes, I'm about to pull a "do what I say, not what I do": curfew is a strict 10 PM unless the teachers decide otherwise. Do not trespass on private property. Do not risk your lives needlessly. Thank you.

[Scout]

Good luck I already wrote that [...] Be careful. The mission is important, but we can't afford to lose you [...] or your squad either.

[Neal]

[...] Do you think this has anything to do with Halloween night?

My sisters sent me some cute stickers. You'll have to decide which badge deserves one.

Yeah. Of course. My squad's not going in tonight so [...] I don't have anything to worry about. [...] How about you?

[opalescents]

A VERY heavy responsibility but I'll try to do her proud.

Those two ARE SUPER NOT mutually exclusive but yeahhhh same? I guess?

[empereurs]

It's a lot of cute dogs. I hope that's okay.

I'm not any good at being asked to do nothing. But I guess this is good practice.

[opalescents]

I can THEORETICALLY appreciate cute dogs.

Yeaaaaah me neither. But it IS. Seeing as It. Keeps. Happening??

[empereurs]

We can start on the cute succulent stickers. Work up to dogs. [Flint sticks a succulent on the page.]

I know. And it probably won't stop any time soon. But [...] this is what we're here for, isn't it?

[opalescents]

SEE I can appreciate PLANTS, that's adorable. Your sister has A+ sticker taste, send my COMPLIMENTS.

[...] It's exactly what we're here for. Even the dumb WAIT-y parts.

[empereurs]

I will, thanks. Briony knows I like plants, but she and Clarice are trying to talk our parents into getting a dog and I think this is part of their plan. They argue there's plenty of space, because the dog could just have my room.

Yeah. Exactly. And all things considered, I hope our help isn't necessary. I hope the mission's easy.

[opalescents]

Oh god they're trying to replace you with a puppy this is why I never wanted one? It'll be in your CLOTHES next.

But yes. I really, really do. Maybe it'll be like [...] WHOOPS took a wrong turn into a rift, and all the kids are just chilling at the entrance.

[empereurs]

I think they just want something to hug while I'm not there. A little animal hair might be worth that.

Right. Or maybe they slept through it. Maybe they'll think it was all a dream.

[opalescents]

Oh nooooo cute. Okay. They officially deserve a puppy, who deserves your BED.

[...] Yeah. LIKE our party. I hope it's not a bad dream.

[empereurs]

Argumentum ad passiones. This is how they get you. My sisters are excellent at arguing, and I might have to sleep on a couch this Thanksgiving.

Exactly. It'll be hard to explain this away with all the time lost and the news coverage [...] but I guess that's not for us to worry about.
