[ Guess whose border collie energy is back and better (worse) than ever: ]

Can I have another task
Not a different one. Just another one

[crystalled]

stop it. haven't you ever had a job? this is how everyone gets stuck with more work.

[temporicide]

Yeah but this one I want to keep
But OK
You can give me one instead

[crystalled]

that's weird because i want to keep this one too.
which is why you can't just ask a girl to give you a task in the middle of party planning.

[ nailed it ????????? ]

i can help you with whatever you got dumped with so i don't have to do anything extra

[temporicide]

Oh OK
I have a lot of energy again and sometimes my brain goes too fast so I have to do things fast too

Have you ever tried edible glitter? I know how to get mirrors I think but I might have to make the glitter

[crystalled]

[ attempt #1 at flirting failed, zero points awarded. ]

i've eaten it but i've never attempted to make it.
it seems like something that should be ... i don't know
mined

[temporicide]

[ Catching her mid-energy build yammer (something small is going to telekinetically explode in her room, eventually, no big deal): ]

Right? It feels so inorganic. But I think I have an idea. I'm going to steal 15 to 25 pounds of cornstarch and sugar
If I make some, will you try it with me and tell me what you like most? If it's any good? We can do it in my room so we don't make a mess anywhere else

[crystalled]

[ babe do you hear yourself when you talk ]

i'm with you. 100%
why don't i just ask the kitchen if they can bring us the 25 pounds of cornstarch though
like straight to your room

what else do you want
like drinks
or snacks

[temporicide]

[ Reason entering her slowly, somewhat against her will, ]

Oh yeah I guess we don't have to steal things here. Sometimes I forget they just give you stuff
Isn't that so weird
How much they give us

By drinks do we mean Drinks? Feels like a good buzz project

[crystalled]

it's not weird because rich people think every resource on earth is infinite and that when disasters strike, they are exempt.
we're just here to enjoy the deep pockets of their generosity.

yeah. drinks. i'm an excellent mixologist as long as there are only two ingredients. better if there's just one.

[haggle]

startin to think you're a cryptid, babe
like the fucking unicorn of my dreams

( genuine usefulness in the hex club group chat? it's less likely than you think! )

you wanna help us track down supplies?
i'm gonna need some mirrors. big ass ones
and like, a metrick fuckton of glitter. the edible stuff

[temporicide]

[ Brief detour: ask.com, do witches count as cryptids? ]

Does that mean I won't get into trouble if I show up with twigs in my hair on accident. Not on purpose
I have been in the woods

But I'm coming back now! To find mirrors and good tasting glitter
I will make someone taste test it for me

[haggle]

you have the special privilege of not pissin me off so
one more day marked safe from ani
the fuck are you doing in the woods, anyway?? burying a body? i'll be your alibi

congrats
you and koby are officially the most useful people here

( a beat of stray thoughts between messages, then: )

check if they've got any glitter lube lying around
i'm trying to see something

[temporicide]

We went there to go decompress and then just stayed for a little bit. But I'd live there all the time if I could. Or on the lake
But if I catch a body now I know who to put #1 on my speed dial

Koby is good people
When we team up we'll become like a usefulness tornado you can deploy

[ The assent here is earnest, but the second half is also to try and get a laugh out of Ani: ]

OK, will go glitter lube hunting
Everything has a spirit, you know. So that includes lube. I will document its personality

[haggle]

mermaid's claim says lake's mine
but you can visit my grotto anytime

i always knew i was born to have minions
we gotta workshop a team name

( ani's affection meter: bumped up a solid five points. )

it came to me in a dream and told me its true name was clitter
i want a full report of its vibes and aura on my desk by midnight

[temporicide]

That's generous of you O Mermaid
I go a little crazy if I can't swim sometimes or talk to the lizards and fish and things

ARK?? Maybe that sounds too much like a team name in a movie about fighting crime or spies or something

First mission, clitter dossier, will have:
Vibes. Age. Susceptibility to dryness. Political views

@koby

[kobes]

[because he's a nosy bitch who reads everything:]

You don't need to steal anything, Ms. Roza, I'd be happy to help get some cornstarch and sugar. And gelatin. You need gelatin for making the glitter. ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

[temporicide]

[ Everyone is stopping her from living her magpie dreams... but they're too nice about it for her to mind... ]

Oh hey
I think we'll need dye too. We can do a run on the kitchen. A legal one where there's no theft

Sorry I'm kind of hyper again, it's been like this off and on

[kobes]

[he doesn't want her to get in trouble, but if she mysteriously shows up with much more sugar and cornstarch than anticipated, koby will politely look the other way.]

Right, yes. There's some of that in the kitchen, I'm sure. I should maybe set some aside, just for instances like this...

Oh, please don't apologize. You're being extremely helpful, and we all appreciate that very much. ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

[temporicide]

Might be good
This is a place that seems like it goes through a lot of glitter, edible and otherwise

Koby
Koby the little faces are so cute

[kobes]

I wonder if we could ask the library for a reliable supply, so we don't have to worry about making it ourselves.

Oh, thank you! I like them a lot.
٩(^ᗜ^ )و
This one is cheering!

[temporicide]

Oh no
I haven't been giving offerings to the library!!

But that is a good face
It makes me feel better about dereliction of duty

[kobes]

Oh, it's all right! It's been very understanding when things happen here. If you're honest about why you haven't been around, it'll usually understand.

I don't think you're capable of that, Ms. Roza, please. You have an admirable work ethic that I look up to very much.

[temporicide]

I know you're right and things get weird here all the time, but I'll have to make up for it. Between that and the holiday my rites are all off
Do you think it likes blood

But coming from you that means a lot, you're like, the hardest worker

[kobes]

Rites? Like a sort of worship? If that's not disrespectful to ask.
I think everything here likes blood, but I worry about the blood near all those books. Could you contain it somehow?

Me? No, not really, I'm just
I like to keep busy. It doesn't mean I'm necessarily GOOD at it.
