{ this is, unfortunately, a very long overdue update. while he hadn't intended to say much on the expeditions, instead intending for the guild to carry the updates, there are a few things that need to be said--especially after the appearance of a certain woman before a whole bunch of oblivisci were let loose.⁩⁩

⁨⁨any distaste, anger, annoyance or frustration doesn't show. instead, everyone is greeted with a smile. as much as it may be an act, it's one he's used to at this point. }⁩⁩

⁨⁨Evening, friends. { it doesn't matter if you've never met before, everyone is a friend now apparently- } Unfortunately this took a bit longer than anticipated but maybe that's for the best knowing what I do now. The--how should we call it?--incident many of us just experienced was probably orchestrated by a woman I've seen before. Around the end of November I travelled with a group to Liar's Mansion. We found out was that the very same woman was conducting experiments on people there. Some had been turned into clocks, some into plants... I saw her by using retrocognition on a file we found there. I'm telling you this now because of her reappearance. Don't bother trying to visit that location, half of it was blown up, the other half is protected with a barrier that the power holders erected... ⁩⁩

⁨⁨{ he flaps his hand, dismissing it. }⁩⁩

⁨⁨Either way, she's kidnapped people from different places, one of which was Sunsprout City. A group of us went there at the start of January and confirmed it was her tied to it all yet again. The good news is that Sunsprout city has been deemed safe, and a good friend of mine has already been and placed a teleport crystal there so other people can go and explore. There were traps in the underground passage, but they should be disabled for anyone visiting now. The barrier surrounding it has been fixed and reapplied, and we met a friendly dragon named Chronos there. If you do visit, make sure to take him something to eat or drink. I imagine he'd quite like the company--as long as you aren't rude like a certain someone was, anyway. ⁩⁩

⁨⁨{ the last bit sure is muttered on the end there, wonder who he's digging at- it's hijikata }⁩⁩

⁨⁨You can also treat this as a public service announcement of sorts. While there we found a bunch of these little ones.⁩⁩

⁨⁨{ he'll pull a bunny up to show off, which will peer at the camera curiosity. this isn't treasure, why is she being shown this???? one of his cake cats had been playing with them, so that yells in the background--munya!!!--before trying to tackle his phone and the camera away. chaos ensues- he ends up sighing and putting the bunny back down to reach for his phone in one hand, the other trying to appease the cat by giving it pets of apology. }⁩⁩

⁨⁨The point is to be careful if you do come across them, they're friendly... but they multiply fast.⁩⁩

⁨⁨{ i'm sorry he yaps so much... }⁩⁩

Really fast.

text || i'm wheezing... are you ok jean-

[dregs]

We were warned. If it's happening this quickly do we need to look into a vet who could neuter or spay them?

{ honestly you cannot stop bunnies fucking if they wanna fuck etc etc... }

he's just covered in bunnies, he's fine

[rustyhonesty]

We were, but it was still faster than I thought.

A magical vet for magical bunnies.

Though if their gender doesn't matter, does spaying them even work?

honestly sounds perfect to me tbqh

[dregs]

Hard to say, you'd need an animal expert for that. Unfortunately it's not something I'm well versed in either.

I would be happiest

[rustyhonesty]

I'll look into it when I can.

Honestly, part of this was because I didn't pay attention to the bunnies enough.

same!!!!!

[dregs]

Did you need a hand?

{ because buddy... you look like you're starting to drown in them. he has his own zoo here but at least none are ones that can multiply. small mercies. }

The past few weeks have been rough though, best we can do is some damage control now it's already happened. No point crying over spilled milk and all that.

[rustyhonesty]

Probably. I'm not alone in trying to control them, but there's... a lot. Apparently being a magical bunny means you're born immediately almost like an adult so they're hard to keep a track of.

[Huffs.]

Yeah, I know.

[dregs]

It isn't as though Chronos gave us any instructions on how to control their population either. Think we should check back in with him and see if there's anything he missed? Otherwise, it may be a case of taking them to the Research Centre for guidance on what to do with them.

Quite frankly, those bunnies are the cutest things ever...

[ Then, in a second, private message: ]

Are you alright? Alhaitham told me he was co-piloting with you when the accident occurred.

[dregs]

Helpful and cute, even. It looks like Sunwaning may have an influx of them now, so you may be able to adopt one if you'd like.

{ and then the private message comes, and it's probably good he switches to text. he doesn't expect anyone to check in on him after that, if only because he hasn't spoken about it, but- }

I'm completely fine. It seems like my luck kept me safe in this instance.

How is he doing? Alhaitham doesn't seem to be the type to open up to most people if something like that happens, so it's good he has you to lean on in cases like these, right?

[indigently]

Mm, noted. I might have to have a word with Alhaitham... if there's that many of them, surely there's one needing a home.

[ That's right, they can have two conversations at once and he'll do exactly that, thank you very much. ]

I'm glad your luck kept you safe. It was bad at first... whatever happened, it wiped my memory of him entirely.

Luckily, he's very convincing.

[dregs]

In that case, I'll wish you good luck. Though you could always lean on the 'do first, beg for forgiveness later' tactic if you think he wouldn't agree.

{ that's a terrible idea... don't do that.

but yes, here they are, having one open conversation where he's encouraging bad ideas, and another that is. something. }

There was probably nothing for me to gain from getting injured this time, it is what it is.

{ whatever the fuck that means... }

But I imagine he had some solid reasoning for you to believe him that wasn't entirely founded in emotions or feelings.

Let's just say I know someone who has similar characteristics back home, even if there are differences it makes it easier to understand how he'd think.

[indigently]

Do I tell him you said that~?

[ Not that he ever would, not really. Alhaitham needs more friends, as far as he's concerned; he's not about to cause problems for those he's made. ]

"Nothing to gain"... I suppose that's possible. Still, I'd like it if you kept a careful eye on yourself for the next little while.

But yes, that's right. It took him some effort—it was like my brain was determined to write him out. It took him pointing out my engagement ring and me realizing I had no idea who had given it to me, for him to finally get through.

Someone similar, huh? And here I thought there could only ever be one. Though... that might serve you well. He said something about taking you on as a student?

[ disregard everything else because-- ]

Are you saying you have more of them?

[ ACTUALLY SHOUJO SPARKLING AT THE BUNNIES-- ]

zura pls

[dregs]

I don't. But you'll see someone already responded with a group of them in Sunwaning. Jean may be able to help you out if you're looking to adopt one. He looks like he has his hands full already.

{ save the man from impending bunny doom- }

[roundandaround]

Oh, no... Do you think she's gonna try and take people from here, too, Aventurine-san?

[yersavior]

Did people already get 'em to multiply that quickly...

[ She's been handling hers pretty well as they seem to be distracted with the Pokemon in the background of her video feed but one can't help the slight exasperation in Megumi's voice in this response. ]
