Mein Liebe, mein Welpe

Next Stop on the Pharloom Void Cleanup Road Trip

Hornet is slowly subsumed by fluff; Lace uses flea brew as a handwarmer (she has no intention of drinking it); and Ghost heard mention of a pogo competition and the "Challenge" prompt immediately appeared overhead.

Anyways, I feel like Hornet's kidnappers didn't do their due diligence before yoinking her, because they literally brought a half-wyrm--godlike creatures known for their territoriality--into their lands, and then did a shocked pikachu face when she started wrecking shit.

Like, they saw she was half weaver and assumed that that as the most important thing she could possibly be.

Meanwhile, Lace's frame of reference is Pharloom and weavers, so this is like discovering your weird classmate's dad is actually a dragon.

Transcript:

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.
