[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[dwbi]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

They're pretty useful. I have a friend who has a white dog, and he can smell out fossils like a normal dog can smell out rabbits. She's a geologist so he's great for her job.

[inexorableiron]

Is the dog also like, bones? Or is that a you thing? I've seen some fucked up stuff. This guy, he'd make his familiar change shape so it could go to work for him.

[bowtiedbones]

Bones are a me thing. Did that actually work?? He’d be in so much trouble if he got caught!

[inexorableiron]

Oh it worked alright. People just didn't look too hard at his gross ass cat thing. That thing was gnarly.

[bowtiedbones]

Ugly and sent to do busywork! Poor thing.

[inexorableiron]

At least he could fly sometimes. And he never possessed anybody.

[bowtiedbones]

That implies you knew familiars that DID.

[inexorableiron]

Because I did?

[bowtiedbones]

Ewwwww...! Really??

[inexorableiron]

Yeah, definitely! He was this little badger fuck. Real wild. When he took control of the poor dude, Cygnus, he got way into partying. Girls, guys, drinks, everything.

[bowtiedbones]

That's so gross..!

[flaps her hands, ew ew ew!]

Mine don't do that! Even if they could! They just want me to let them chase deer and roll in the dirt.

[inexorableiron]

[What is so gross about a giant interspecies orgy—]

Well shit, that's fun too! Maybe even chase a fuckin' jackalope.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh they would! They would LOVE that.

[inexorableiron]

There's always somebody havin' a fuckin' ball.

[bowtiedbones]

They work hard! They deserve some fun.

[inexorableiron]

I wouldn't dare get in anybody's way.

[bowtiedbones]

If you want to make friends with my littlest one, give her things to shred when she wakes up. She loves to tear up paper and crack nuts.

[inexorableiron]

Sounds like she's a real hoot. She doesn't just go after the first paper she fuckin' sees though, does she?

[bowtiedbones]

Well, she can't read, so unfortunately the texture of the paper matters more to her than whatever's written on it. She knows to avoid the ones I tell her to, though.

[inexorableiron]

Whew, that's good news. I'd have to have to fight for my own book.

[bowtiedbones]

I will absolutely tell her not to chew on spellbooks.

[inexorableiron]

Then she can have at all the rest's far as I care.
