[...]

she could have
maybe
but i feel like ive already looked everywhere
im not sure where she could be
all i know is that she...didnt leave

[Which leaves one alternative. One Basil has been refusing to think about becausse no, no...not again.]

[jumpie]

what if she’s still in the dream place?

[polarvoid]

The dream place?

So you think it was a real place?

[jumpie]

i dunno like
it could be??
it makes sense too if max is still here, just not HERE here
we just gotta open all the doors, and i gotta remember what happened

[polarvoid]

[Doors?

Basil writes back immediately.]

No! No

no that isn't safe

[jumpie]

i know but
if it's the only way to find max why not?

[polarvoid]

fugo said we should stay away from them though
what if we end up in the same mess?

[jumpie]

then we get out!
if it’s really for real and I didn’t dream it all up i got out somehow!! and i can do it again for max!!

[polarvoid]

but you dont remember how you got out
right?

[jumpie]

damn itttt
ok, let’s do this
we can sweep the peninsula second time
and i can tell the morgthing there’s a missing person if you didn’t do that
and if you did we can make it more public
we’re gonna find her ok?

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

thank you
and im sorry i dont mean to be difficult
im just

scared

[He's already lost his other friends. He lost Sunny too, once. He can't do it all over again.]

<FLY>

[jumpie]

ur not being difficult!! just scared, right??

im kinda scared too i don’t know why
but we gotta do it for max!!

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

yeah
i just hope everything will be okay

<FLY>

[jumpie]

wanna meet up and split when you're ready?
or i can let you know if i figure something out

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

mmm
probably...the latter is a better idea
but if you want to talk about anything else you can message me back

<FLY>

[jumpie]

alright
i'll let you know when i remember anything important

[ the next time won't be a good time. ]

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Thank you, Shoyo. I'll be here.

<FLY> (sometime pre-event)

[jumpie]

[ it’s been a few days; max is back. maybe it’s been a week and . . . shoyo still doesn’t know what to say. he just knows it’s not a case of hiding. he just— has to brave through it and the consequences. and get through it. ]

basil?

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Shoyo? I'm here.

It's okay, I found Max. She showed up, but she...

<FLY>

[jumpie]

[ oh, crap. well, at least they found each other, and shoyo considers the facility of just sending everything online, but.

that's so not cool. that's so not fair. ]

she's a big moose monster
and i need to talk to you
like in person
how is she?

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

I wouldn't say she's okay...but she's here at the Palazzo, and she's safe. That's what matters. She isn't hurt, but she...she can't see right now.

Did you want to come here? Or should I come to you? I don't...really want to leave her, but I don't think she'll be going anywhere for a while anyway.

<FLY>

[jumpie]

i could go
is it ok if we talk alone tho?

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

That's fine.

My greenhouse is outside, in the backyard. We can talk there.

[It's not IN the house, which would draw attention to them both, but it's also still somewhere private and secluded from the rain.]

<FLY>

[jumpie]

ok
i’ll be there in a bit

[ however long a walk it is, he’s not as equipped to run or trek that amount with his satyr hooves. being a horse might . . . be faster? it feels like it could be fast, and easier—

but try as shoyo might to force out the foam to bring out the foal, he can’t. he doesn’t know the trigger other than fright, and he doesn’t know how he does it when he’s hungry.

a slow walk it was, but at least they had all night for it. shoyo prefers night activity these days anyway, and barely sleeps as much as he used to. he arrives at the great manor at one point and seeks out the backyard, keeping his eyes and swiveling ears open for any sign of max around that he’d very much like to avoid for the comfort of both parties at the moment.

he finds what he thinks could be the greenhouse, and hovers close to the windows to try and look inside, if he can. it’s easy to spot shoyo, at least. at night, he has bioluminescence. knock knock, maybe? ]
