[retellers]

[ Blanca will receive a text that simply reads "outside". If he steps out of the planetarium, he'll find Wolf waiting for him there! ]

Something you wanted?

[ ?? ]

[papasha]

My, Grandma, what big ears you have?

[He holds up one of the pastries to Wolf.]

Want one? They aren't sweet, I promise.

[retellers]

Call me grandma again and I'm leaving.

[ but there is a very gingerly take of the pastries. i'd make a poison joke but 2 soon. ]

[papasha]

Now, now, you just got here. I would have brought alcohol, but I didn't have any. And I might be sad if I had to watch you enjoy some, while I feel like I want to vomit.

[STOP, he's sick, but he's offering Wolf food. Please. He doesn't even force Wolf to eat them. :\]

I just came to chat.

[retellers]

You don't have to bring anything.

[ stop. you guys are so sick. ]

This a social call?

[ that's what "i just came to chat" means wolf ]

[papasha]

Does that mean you'll come when I call anytime?

[He's teasing even when ill, but it's fine.]

I came to see if you'd be willing to talk to me about things that are going on. I'm sure you know a little group of us are trying to scrounge up everyone. Unless you've tuned Lup out.

I won't tell her, if you have.

[retellers]

Means I seriously don't need more food.

[ the payment in this place is terrible. ]

She's impossible to tune out. So yeah, I know about your group. What about it?

[papasha]

We're looking for the final piece. The wily one that doesn't want to be found. Maybe they can't be, as a condition.

Your team is the only one without one of us.

[retellers]

[ there's a beat ]

Have you tried looking harder?

[ deadpan. ]

[papasha]

[He expected this, so he just smiles a bit.]

Don't worry, we're still looking. It just makes it a little harder when you six tell all of us very conflicting things. So we end up having to all come to ask you to see if you'll tell us anything different.

We didn't know you loved visits from us so much.

[retellers]

[ they. tilt their head, crossing their arms ]

What have we said that's different?

[papasha]

Want to prove me wrong?

Does your team have a role?

[retellers]

Never said I didn't.

[ this is the funniest thing thats ever happened to me ]

[papasha]

I know. But I expect you delivered it much like Fox delivers a lot of their lines, too. Right?

I understand you all are protecting us. But we're running out of time, and we can't waste it on our own misunderstandings.

[if only i could get things icly, i would not have to play a himbo who is embarrassing]

[retellers]

I told Lup she'd have to work harder to find the last one than she had to for the others. You guys can interpret things how you want.

[ it's been a great ride for me and a terrible one for wolf ]

[papasha]

[me as wolf, honestly]

Is it because it's someone she isn't close to?

[retellers]

You seriously need a hint?

[papasha]

Well, not now. There are only three left.

So it's either Lup playing a long con, or a fifty-fifty chance for Miss Clementine. Though I suppose that may be the duty's intention, in the end.

[retellers]

Seriously don't know what's stopping you guys from asking them.

[papasha]

If I had to chance a guess, probably the fact we're certain they aren't going to confess to it.

[retellers]

Maybe your guess isn't as right as you think. What have you got to lose, if you're so desperate?

[papasha]

[i'm going to fucking strangle flurry i swear to god]

I suppose you're right. I'll mention it to them. Or Lup rather. So she can put in some extra work.

[retellers]

[ laughs for ten years ]

About time she does. [ they sound. very amused, for some reason ]

[papasha]

If you praise her, though, she'll get spoiled and want you to tell her all the time.

[retellers]

Don't I know it. [ you show a shred of niceness ONCE and you can NEVER LIVE IT DOWN AGAIN ] You can spoil her for both of us.
