R.A.P.H.: I want ground rules. if we do this talk. R.A.P.H.: there's gotta be ground rules.
[ Local turtle remembered he doesn't get a wrestling match if he has to be hunted down like a fugitive, figured he might as well try to feel even slightly more in control of this. News at 11. ]
R.A.P.H: don't ask me about my brothers's problems. or tips on how to get them to talk to you about stuff or whatever. R.A.P.H: that's their business so it's their call. raph's not giving out shortcuts.
Megarone: hey, wash-nii i got shrunk to the size of a first grader ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i just wanted to let you know. that, & 'm going to have a sleepover with raph-kun at egg for a day or 2!
[ SURPRISE. There's a bundle, neatly wrapped in dark gunmetal grey silk with yellow ribbons, sitting on top of Wash's bed. There is also a GREAT BIG NOTE next to it on, like, A3 size paper. It's unmissable:
"Wash-nii! Don't panic! I teleported this over instead of bringing it in person because I'm sleepy and comfy but didn't want to forget again; I've been meaning to give this to you for FOREVER.
Hope you like it!
Love you, Choco"
Inside the silk parcel is A COZY HOODIE! The white bands are blue and the blue band is red. It has a kangaroo pocket on the front, and detachable cat ears on the hood. The hoodie's lining is a much paler blue, with a cute print of kittens and paw prints in all of the Reds and Blues various shades.
Piccione: Wash-nii Piccione: to preface: im not a pod person i promise Piccione: could you spare me a couple of your heals? they came back online yesterday and ive used a bunch already Piccione: but i wanna exercise SO BAD 🙏
(After Wylan is done packing, due to this conversation)
phosphorus Kaz and I are going out to search the forest for Jesper. phosphorus I've brought supplies for several days. phosphorus I don't know how long we'll be gone, but I've left lots of swelling reducing bandages by the distillery. phosphorus If I don't come back...
Puma: One, you're gonna come back because I will drag you back if you're not back in a few days. Puma: Two, bring a knife and carve marks in the trees at regular intervals so you don't get loss and it will make my tracking easier. Puma: Three, not a negotiation, if you don't agree, I'm dragging you back now. Puma: But I get needing to at least try to find them.
Puma: I don't know if I could get him on the switch, but I may try. Give him a distraction. Puma: It was his first game and he was alone and he's used to his care being conditional, its bad.
phosphorus On my way back. phosphorus Sorry, she offered to be invisible and I couldn't say no.
...
phosphorus I'm sorry. phosphorus Again.
...
phosphorus I keep stressing you out, don't I. phosphorus I know I'm not a very good teammate.
...
phosphorus My father would... phosphorus I know you're not my father.
...
phosphorus I'm not used to people caring. Kaz was the first I think. He asked me to make a package. He hired me only because of my father. He knew who I was: the son of a rich merchant. He hired me over much more qualifed explosives experts because of who my father was.
...
phosphorus Jesper didn't care who I was. Who I really was. He loved me anyway. And now he's gone.
...
phosphorus And then the game. Minnow was the only other people who accepted me for who I am and I...
...
phosphorus I died. I never stood a chance. All the other teams went on, but it didn't matter. I've let all of you down. You accepted me and I wasted that acceptance. How could I face any of you again?
...
phosphorus I was scared. I was scared you would know what my father knows and what that game proved. I was scared you would change your minds. And I would rather take matters into my own hands-- but you kept stopping me. I didn't understand it.
...
phosphorus It was like you still wanted me, like... like I was still worth something. And I couldn't believe it.
Adora: My name is Adora. One of your teammates is here in the chamber, hurt badly. They seem out of it. Small, silver hair. I think they need you. Adora: There was just a game, it went badly for Minnow. Adora: I can stay with them until you can get here, or if you have someone on standby for healing?
day 73

Wash? Come help your sister over here at the temple. She looks like she got the worst from that game.
I'll stay until you get here and make sure nothing more happens.
You're welcome.

Day 112, afternoon
Are you alright with the two of us heading alone or did you want to come along?
213, from endgame
[ today, however, is not that day ]
Piccione: There was another bad one.
Piccione: Wylan and Imoen had to be rescued from under ice. Melody is covered in vines and thorns.
[ proper capitalisation for once! ... because she's dictating rather than typing ]
day 11; also endgame
Adora: There was just a game, it went badly for Minnow.
Adora: I can stay with them until you can get here, or if you have someone on standby for healing?
