House appears nearby to Sunny, kind of watching from a bit away. Though it was kind of obvious he was there, and it was staring right at him.
(-@basils-plants-and-potions)
You know I can see you, right, House?
"Nnnno you can't."
YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PLUSH WHO SHOT ME!
"Yeah uhh.. One sec."
The plush appears!
"I'm really sorry. I honestly thought that it was my gun that shoots out positivity! I was just trying to calm down the situation, but I fucked it up.. I'm really sorry.."
"Yeah, she's seriously sorry about that.."
We don't have time for arguments. But I don't trust the plush. Apologies won't give me my eye back. But I'll work with you, for now
"Yeah, honestly, fair enough."
And Maisie dissapears again!
"So, uh, what's up? Are Sunny and Aubrey okay?"
I'm alive for what that's worth.
Probably not much, but whatever.
Oh hey… House, was it? Thanks for helping before.
I’m worried. Sunny’s the only person here I know and trust—Mari was just kidnapped.
"Uh-oh.. That's gonna make Basil upset.."
"Someone came into the shop threatening you two, Basil sent me to make sure you were okay.."
No, yeah, I'm totally fine.
"Sunny, I'm not at idiot."
"I can go get Basil, if you want..."
House, no. Let him stay where he's safe.
"Hmm, too bad!"
House dissappears and comes back a couple minutes later holding Basil in a princess carry.
"I'm glad you gave me time to get my bag, but was this really necessary?"
"Yep."
Basil...
...
It's... nice to see you...
"Nice to see you, too! I'm so glad you're okay!"
Basil runs over and gives Sunny a hug, then a kiss on his forehead.
(SUNNY returns the hug, tears begin to well in his eyes.)
(He doesn't want to say it, but he knows he has to tell BASIL about what happened to MARI.)
B-Basil.... I...
(SUNNY can't do it.)
It’s.. Mari… She was taken…
"Well, let's go get her."
"We can come up with a sound plan, I know it!"
Basil goes up to Aubrey, giving her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
"I promise that everything will be okay."
(SUNNY wipes his tears...)
...
So, what's the plan?
"Well, this I obviously a trap, but they think House and I dropped out."
"So, I think we should scout ahead. They won't expect us to be the ones to go, right?"
The greaser-looking kid is still just over there.
"Doesn't take from the fact they clearly don't care about me and House. When we left they didn't come after me, so me scouting ahead probably can't do any more harm than good.."
I don't think this is a good idea. What if something happens to you and House while you're up ahead and we're all behind?
"Our combined skills will get us out of a pinch, don't worry!"
I can scout ahead! They ain’t’ve met me!
