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?

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.
