[20:53] <Trish> /*\ the adults of the sept are quietly notified; be it through their comms or just through someone coming over and discreetly whispering, that something special is going to occur. The guards and the Sophie as well are assured it is perfectly safe and just some chjristmas fun, and not to panic, but not to tell the kids! /*\
[20:53] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> 's eyes light up and he nods slowly. "She was complaining about one of the hinges on the door starting to go and some of the venting had started to leak last summer. It's a really old stove."
[20:56] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> stops as he reaches Ariana and pulls out his phone as it beeps, checking the text.
[20:56] * +Shadow_wind looks over towards Angel and Finn. <L> "One of those really old things? Ya, if it is starting to cuase leaks of any kind for her, then I'd say a major update would make for a perfect gift." She wags her tail a few times.
[20:56] <+Angel`> "Oh then that is great, we can go shopping and pick one out together and have it delivered three days before christmas to give her a chance to use it for christmas?"
[20:57] * +Angel` smiled and listened to the guard quietly.
[20:57] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> looks over to Shadow, the kinfolk smiling as he undersands only that the body gestures and sounds are in fact a language but he then looks to Angel for the translation.
[20:58] * +Angel` she gives the wookie rule for any Lupus ic so that fin and other kin can understand them.
[21:01] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> nods to Angel, and then smiles again to Shadow. "I think you're right."
[21:03] <Trish> /*\ Something quietly comes down the ramp! What could it be? It is tall - seven feet! From a tuft on its head to its tioeless feet it is covered in long green fur. Hit has narrow shoulder, but a round rear end, yellow eyes, a curly grin. This furry green ogre wears a a red velvet jacket trimmed in white fluff, and a hat to match! It sneaks into the caern, with a big empty sack. /*\
[21:03] <Trish> /*\ The tall, lanky creature tiptoes in, moving past the adults as if they cannot see it! Oh it smiles and carries a sack like the jolly old man, and has dressed in his clothes, as best as it can; but don't trust this elf, not even an inch, because that isn't santa - it's the Grinch! /*\
[21:04] <Trish> /*\ He sneaks most sneakishly to the table, eyeing what goodies are available. The Christmas cookies are there to be had, and one by one, he puts them in his bag. /*\
[21:05] <ekko> Lucky gets restless and starts to bark and howl, pointing at the tree

[21:07] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] looks over to nod to Scott, then look around at the guards and then the ogre with a controlled smile so he doesn't burst into laughter as he watches the child.
[21:07] * pepper all of the girls run over and Abby starts to cry. (Abby) "Why, Mr Grinch? Why??"
[21:09] * ekko peeks out between her fingers
[21:10] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> watches and shakes his head. <s>"Oh, you done it now Mr Grinch..." He smiles and walks back to Shino. "I'll make sure you get a phone when things have settled down, ok?"

[21:11] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> is watches the scene unfold and leans into Angel a little bit. <w>"I don't mean to be rude...but what is that exactly? He doesn't look like the trolls..."
[21:12] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch is startled by a strike to his but; he twists his head around, wondering what. He looks left and right, and up, and then down, to see Kenzie Canning there on the ground. "My dears!" he says, to Abby, too* "What did you call me? The Grinch? Who? I'm Jolly Saint Nick, passing through town, to make sure your Christmas won't have a frown." /*\
[21:12] <Trish> /*\ "Your good Mister Neo works hard at the stove, baking you cookies, filled with his love. But grownups make mistakes in their grown-up heads; he forgot the sugar, and used broccoli instead!" *the Grinch smiled sweetly at the nice little girls, the corners of his mouth turning to curls* /*\
[21:13] * pepper Kenzie scowls. "Unca Neo wouldn't do that. and you's mean to Max too! I seed your show! You need a time out. and a punch to da nose!!" Her little fists are akimbo on her hips.

[21:14] <+Angel`> <Addy> Uncle neo not dat dumb suger dont look like broccoli"
[21:14] * +Shadow_wind blinks then, looking at something. A moemnt later Winds spirit companion would materialize, a playful little smirk on the spirits large jaws, before Breeze would begin her best resinging of www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwiNGEeTaU
[21:14] <pepper> (Mischa) Besides...we don't got no Saint Nick. We gots Sandy Claws. Ama tells the story every year."
[21:15] * +Angel` leaned close to fin <w>its a thing for the kids.
[21:15] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> glances at Shino, and then again as he considers telling her it's an act. But then he sees he innocence on the Gurahl's face and just slumps in his chair a little with a smile, deciding not to spoil things for her as he turns back to his computer.
[21:15] <+Angel`> "
[21:15] <+Angel`> <w>he not troll though>
[21:15] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> nods. <w>"Oh I know, for the kids. But what is...he? He."
[21:16] * pepper sings along with Breeze, trying not to laugh and thinking if that's Waffles then someone better have syrup and butter cause she's toast.
[21:17] <+Angel`> <wq>i got no idea actuely sadly this ones got me stumpped"
[21:18] <Trish> /*\ "You'd punch Santa's nose, red like a cherry?" *but he remembered he had no nose-this could get hairy! His long arm reach out of sight of the kids, and plucked a rip cherry from the fruit dish. As the girls are distracthed by punching his toes, he sticks it right where he should have a nose* "See, little ones? Who else could I be? Santa, only Santa! Now where is the tree?" /*\
[21:18] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch's long fingers 'cross the table did rake, coming to grip on an ancient fruitcake. He flipped it over shoulder and it slipped from his paw, hurtling toward the singing dragon's jaws. /*\
[21:19] * +Angel` ok that made angel laugh
[21:20] * +Angel` addy smiled and sang with shadow winds words.
[21:20] <pepper> come here, kids.
[21:20] <+Angel`> (song not word)
[21:20] * pepper the children all run to Pepper and she hugs them.
[21:20] * +Shadow_wind <Breeze> Would easily snap it up, the spirit rumblign out a content chuckle after haivng finished the little tune.
[21:20] <pepper> "It's okay...if it's really the Grinch, our guards will bring back anything he takes. After they make him pay."
[21:23] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] laughs, a truly joyous sound as the man leans against Ariana and puts an arm around her again. <s>"This was such a good idea. Who was the mastermind, do you know?"
[21:24] * ekko hugs Pepper too "Pwomise Ama?"
[21:24] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch scuttles off once he his free, making his way to the leftenmost tree. "These bulbs, I'm afraid, are not up to code. One little bump and they all could explode! I'll take this tree back to my chop, and bring it right back, with an angel on top!" /*\
[21:24] <Trish> /*\ His hand grips the tree, and the tree he lifts, taking the shelter from all of the gifts. He tosses the pine over his back, and fwoosh! It vanishes into his sack* /*\
[21:25] * +Angel` Addy and Acel stand behind the grinch <acel>You are not leaving with our uncl neos goodies. He made them for every one you can share them or put them right back" ace nods as if his statment is final
[21:26] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> looks up from his typing, watching the tree vanish with a growing smile and glancing to Shino to see her reaction to the scene.
[21:26] <+Angel`> <Addy>NOOOOOO That unity tree Uncle Neo made that this year for sept unity" she kicked him in the knee.>
[21:27] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Eyes widen to the size of giant saucers with sudden realization. The girl springs up from her seat and goes charging down the apartment tunnel.
[21:28] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch turns to the children now at his back, cautiously closing the top of his sack. "Not to worry, young ones, they won't be gone - they'll be back in a day. I'll take them to my elves, who live far away. They''ll take out the broccoli and make them sweet-" *and then Addy kicks him in the knee* /*\
[21:28] <Trish> /*\ He grunts "Little girl! It's not nice to kick. You wouldn't want to end up on my naughty list." *the griing Grinch looms with a threat so advanced that no small child would dare take the chance* /*\
[21:30] * pepper nods nods, hugging Anina
[21:30] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> blinks and starts to stand, watching Shino race off before he sits back down with a curious tilt of his head before turning back to his computer to begin typing again with glances back to the Grinch and the children.
[21:30] <+Angel`> <Acel growls>you threaten my sister evil grinch, and touched unckle neos tree no no no > he shakes his head and points at the grinch. ....(a light appears over grinchys head)
[21:30] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> blinks. "Ohsnap."
[21:31] <pepper> Acel...
[21:31] <pepper> Your father would be upset with you...
[21:31] <pepper> Trust me...if he doesn't bring the tree back, every adult here will be hunting him and your uncle Neo will be in the front.
[21:32] <+^Faye^> < Shino > She comes rumbling back something hidden in her hands, taking her seat next to Scott again. She places a hat on her head and pulls out a candy cane, then shifts to ursine to enjoy in the festivities that Buri-Jaan told her about. This Chrissy Mast thing. ( img42.com/pv1sT )
[21:32] * pepper eyes the grinch
[21:32] * +Angel` Liams watching actuely and laughing.
[21:32] <ekko> Hugs Pepper back nd growls at the grinch...she wiggles much to get down
[21:32] <+Angel`> <Addy oohhed and backed away> acel just looked so upset but looked to pepper and to his father but back "he hurt sissy"
[21:33] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> does a double take at at Shino and then is falling off his chair with laughter
[21:33] <pepper> He didn't hurt her, Acel...he scared her. Which he shouldn't have done.
[21:33] <Trish> /*\ the grinch looks up to see why there's light, and tsk-tsk-tsks* "Now this isn't right! This star here doesn't have a tree below! I'll have to take it, too, you know." *He reaches up and takes the floating light, poutting it in his bag and sealing it tight* /*\
[21:34] * +Angel` Acel gasped "dat mama's light" he tried to jump in the bag Addy gasped "Acel" and she grabbed on his legs.
[21:34] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Licks her candycane, hoping people will not confuse it with the highly illegal sugar cane. With a big dumb panda smile she would wave at any cubs that would look at her.
[21:35] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] had started to grow concerned but it seemed like things were handled just fine and just smiles.
[21:36] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> stands back up and rights his chair, giving the panda a pat on the back as he sits back down. "Look at you, all festive"
[21:37] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Growl squeak clicks like a dolphin at Scott. Then smiles with her big white panda teeth, looking back and learning what she can from this holiday stuff. Trying to look cute for the cubs.
[21:39] * ekko appears in front of Grinchy as he looks back to them, she reaches out yoinks th bag of stuff "GET the fuck out before I kick your ass in front of these kids
[21:39] <pepper> (Kenzie) Go Auntie Ekko!!!\

[21:41] <ekko> c'mon..go peacefully
[21:42] <ekko> leave the bag and tree
[21:42] * +Angel` Angel watched leaning in to Fin whispering to him.
[21:42] * Aelofin comes out of the area his shop is stashed at and pauses looking around
[21:42] * +Shadow_wind would watch, as too would the eastern drak, both wolf and dragon would keep a eye on this continuing little show.
[21:43] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> sighs and tilts his head. Wasn't just a fun thing for the kids? Why was she threatening the ogre? He checks his phone to re-read the message about something special going on.
[21:43] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Falls asleep with her santa hat on.
[21:44] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> leans in to hear and grins with a nod as he whispers back.
[21:45] <pepper> Ekko, dear?
[21:45] * +Angel` cuddled in close and smiled looking up at fins eyes "awwww"

[21:48] <Trish> /*\ "My! It's a good thing I came. This place gices Christmas a very bad name. First the cookies, then the three, and the light in the air - and now something's quite wrong with this reindeer.

[21:48] <Trish> *he wiggles his fingers and crinkles his toes, and taps Ekko right on her nose! her horns turn to branches spreading out from her head, and her nose begins to glow a Christmasy red.* "Well, it seems I've done all I can manage, and now I must go, I say Bon Voyage!" *and zoop! Up the ramp runs the Grincy old elf, leaving Ekko to clean up this mess - by herself.

[21:55] <Trish> /*\ the tree can be drawn from the bag with ease, as if it had always been one piece. The cookies are fine, their condition is mint; the bag did not curse them with any lint. The ball of light is also fine, assuming the effect didn't run out of time. /*\
[21:55] <Trish> /*\ At the bottom of the bag is more to be found; gifts for all the children around! The final item to wrap up this game is a bag of charcoal, with the ex-Alpha's name. /*\

[21:57] * +Angel` acel grabed his mommys light and it disapeared in his hands. Then Isis would move over to help get the tree set up again "kiddos can you help get the food laid back out you know how uncl neo likes it.

[21:57] * Aelofin is wearing some multi pocket overalls and is covered in sawdust and metal fileings
[21:58] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> chuckles. "Let it go, Ekko...it was just in fun. I'm sure it's not permanent...they wouldn't do that." He also looks to Angel and others who have been here longer, not really knowing.
[21:58] <Trish> /*\ that reindeer named Ekko must be out of her mind! We all know Grinches don't shed in the wintertime. /*\

[21:59] <ekko> yah...ok...she helps Pepper go down to recover her emotional state
[21:59] * @ariana rises, yawning. "I think I'm going to go up and get a hot bath. I'll see you upstairs when you come up, Arash." She kisses him gently then scoops up paco and heads upstairs.

[22:01] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> gestures to his face and then Ekko's condition. "That's gonna go back to normal, yeah?"
[22:02] <ekko> no..this was a cruel trick

[22:03] * Aelofin movesover getting some food as well " hello Aesling how are you?"
[22:03] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> shrugs and reaches over to poke the panda's shoulder gently. How heavy do these things sleep?

[21:20] <+Angel`> (song not word)
[21:20] * pepper the children all run to Pepper and she hugs them.
[21:20] * +Shadow_wind <Breeze> Would easily snap it up, the spirit rumblign out a content chuckle after haivng finished the little tune.
[21:20] <pepper> "It's okay...if it's really the Grinch, our guards will bring back anything he takes. After they make him pay."
[21:23] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] laughs, a truly joyous sound as the man leans against Ariana and puts an arm around her again. <s>"This was such a good idea. Who was the mastermind, do you know?"
[21:24] * ekko hugs Pepper too "Pwomise Ama?"
[21:24] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch scuttles off once he his free, making his way to the leftenmost tree. "These bulbs, I'm afraid, are not up to code. One little bump and they all could explode! I'll take this tree back to my chop, and bring it right back, with an angel on top!" /*\
[21:24] <Trish> /*\ His hand grips the tree, and the tree he lifts, taking the shelter from all of the gifts. He tosses the pine over his back, and fwoosh! It vanishes into his sack* /*\
[21:25] * +Angel` Addy and Acel stand behind the grinch <acel>You are not leaving with our uncl neos goodies. He made them for every one you can share them or put them right back" ace nods as if his statment is final
[21:26] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> looks up from his typing, watching the tree vanish with a growing smile and glancing to Shino to see her reaction to the scene.
[21:26] <+Angel`> <Addy>NOOOOOO That unity tree Uncle Neo made that this year for sept unity" she kicked him in the knee.>
[21:27] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Eyes widen to the size of giant saucers with sudden realization. The girl springs up from her seat and goes charging down the apartment tunnel.
[21:28] <Trish> /*\ the Grinch turns to the children now at his back, cautiously closing the top of his sack. "Not to worry, young ones, they won't be gone - they'll be back in a day. I'll take them to my elves, who live far away. They''ll take out the broccoli and make them sweet-" *and then Addy kicks him in the knee* /*\
[21:28] <Trish> /*\ He grunts "Little girl! It's not nice to kick. You wouldn't want to end up on my naughty list." *the griing Grinch looms with a threat so advanced that no small child would dare take the chance* /*\
[21:30] * pepper nods nods, hugging Anina
[21:30] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> blinks and starts to stand, watching Shino race off before he sits back down with a curious tilt of his head before turning back to his computer to begin typing again with glances back to the Grinch and the children.
[21:30] <+Angel`> <Acel growls>you threaten my sister evil grinch, and touched unckle neos tree no no no > he shakes his head and points at the grinch. ....(a light appears over grinchys head)
[21:30] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> blinks. "Ohsnap."
[21:31] <pepper> Acel...
[21:31] <pepper> Your father would be upset with you...
[21:31] <pepper> Trust me...if he doesn't bring the tree back, every adult here will be hunting him and your uncle Neo will be in the front.
[21:32] <+^Faye^> < Shino > She comes rumbling back something hidden in her hands, taking her seat next to Scott again. She places a hat on her head and pulls out a candy cane, then shifts to ursine to enjoy in the festivities that Buri-Jaan told her about. This Chrissy Mast thing. ( img42.com/pv1sT )
[21:32] * pepper eyes the grinch
[21:32] * +Angel` Liams watching actuely and laughing.
[21:32] <ekko> Hugs Pepper back nd growls at the grinch...she wiggles much to get down
[21:32] <+Angel`> <Addy oohhed and backed away> acel just looked so upset but looked to pepper and to his father but back "he hurt sissy"
[21:33] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> does a double take at at Shino and then is falling off his chair with laughter
[21:33] <pepper> He didn't hurt her, Acel...he scared her. Which he shouldn't have done.
[21:33] <Trish> /*\ the grinch looks up to see why there's light, and tsk-tsk-tsks* "Now this isn't right! This star here doesn't have a tree below! I'll have to take it, too, you know." *He reaches up and takes the floating light, poutting it in his bag and sealing it tight* /*\
[21:34] * +Angel` Acel gasped "dat mama's light" he tried to jump in the bag Addy gasped "Acel" and she grabbed on his legs.
[21:34] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Licks her candycane, hoping people will not confuse it with the highly illegal sugar cane. With a big dumb panda smile she would wave at any cubs that would look at her.
[21:35] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] had started to grow concerned but it seemed like things were handled just fine and just smiles.
[21:36] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> stands back up and rights his chair, giving the panda a pat on the back as he sits back down. "Look at you, all festive"
[21:37] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Growl squeak clicks like a dolphin at Scott. Then smiles with her big white panda teeth, looking back and learning what she can from this holiday stuff. Trying to look cute for the cubs.
[21:39] * ekko appears in front of Grinchy as he looks back to them, she reaches out yoinks th bag of stuff "GET the fuck out before I kick your ass in front of these kids
[21:39] <pepper> (Kenzie) Go Auntie Ekko!!!\
[21:40] <+Angel`> <Addy >pulls acel out and jumps up and down "yes yes yess go autny ekko>
[21:40] * Aelofin (IceChat9@sorcery-68a17p.mo.charter.com) has joined #darkshadows^shifters
[21:40] * pepper Ariana is smiling as she watches, knowing all too well that the children will never be done out of their Christmas and if this person tries...well, magma cuts very well.
[21:41] <ekko> c'mon..go peacefully
[21:42] <ekko> leave the bag and tree
[21:42] * +Angel` Angel watched leaning in to Fin whispering to him.
[21:42] * Aelofin comes out of the area his shop is stashed at and pauses looking around
[21:42] * +Shadow_wind would watch, as too would the eastern drak, both wolf and dragon would keep a eye on this continuing little show.
[21:43] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> sighs and tilts his head. Wasn't just a fun thing for the kids? Why was she threatening the ogre? He checks his phone to re-read the message about something special going on.
[21:43] <+^Faye^> < Shino > Falls asleep with her santa hat on.
[21:44] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> leans in to hear and grins with a nod as he whispers back.
[21:45] <pepper> Ekko, dear?
[21:45] * +Angel` cuddled in close and smiled looking up at fins eyes "awwww"
[21:46] * pepper taps Ekko and shows her the text about the planned event for the children.
[21:46] * Draka (Draka@sorcery-auu3tv.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Quit: )
[21:48] <Trish> /*\ "My! It's a good thing I came. This place gices Christmas a very bad name. First the cookies, then the three, and the light in the air - and now something's quite wrong with this reindeer. It's front is too big and its horns are too small, but for Satna that's not a problem at all. Just see what my Christmas magic can do! Holiday cheer, and a miracle too." /*\
[21:48] <Trish> *he wiggles his fingers and crinkles his toes, and taps Ekko right on her nose! her horns turn to branches spreading out from her head, and her nose begins to glow a Christmasy red.* "Well, it seems I've done all I can manage, and now I must go, I say Bon Voyage!" *and zoop! Up the ramp runs the Grincy old elf, leaving Ekko to clean up this mess - by herself.
[21:49] <+Celestial`Shade> <Finn> puts and arm around Angel and kisses her tenderly once and then a little more as he holds her close.
[21:50] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> looks over at the panda, then lifts his phone and snaps a picture with his phone. <s>"That is just too cute to pass up."
21:51] * ekko looks around "oh come OM!" shakes her head and grunts "now I cant go outside..we cold cut them off
[21:51] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] watches all of this with widdened eyes, leaning into Ariana to kiss her cheek. <s>"Is it like this every Christmas here?"
[21:52] * pepper Ariana chuckles. "Sometimes, yes."
[21:53] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] smiles. "Very neat"
[21:54] <+Angel`> <addy and acel>where he go...> they run after the grinchy and looked around
[21:54] * Aesling (PTHB@sorcery-e54go9.res.bhn.net) has joined #darkshadows^shifters
[21:55] <Trish> /*\ the tree can be drawn from the bag with ease, as if it had always been one piece. The cookies are fine, their condition is mint; the bag did not curse them with any lint. The ball of light is also fine, assuming the effect didn't run out of time. /*\
[21:55] <Trish> /*\ At the bottom of the bag is more to be found; gifts for all the children around! The final item to wrap up this game is a bag of charcoal, with the ex-Alpha's name. /*\
[21:56] * M` is now known as Edgar`
[21:56] * ekko leans against the wall and clicks ler tongue..then she ges down on the ground, searchinh for a grinch hair
[21:56] * Aesling slips in wearing an Evil Ernie tshirt suspenders a kilt and boots
[21:57] <@edgar`> the short shadowlord came walking down the caern path. His eyes looking around as he thought. the man singing alittle. and actually had a great singing voice. he was short. 5'4 wearing jeans a tshirt, and a leather band on his wrist <appr 3>
[21:57] * +Angel` acel grabed his mommys light and it disapeared in his hands. Then Isis would move over to help get the tree set up again "kiddos can you help get the food laid back out you know how uncl neo likes it.
[21:57] <ekko> wait..what.? my name on charcole!? why?
[21:57] * Aelofin is wearing some multi pocket overalls and is covered in sawdust and metal fileings
[21:58] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> chuckles. "Let it go, Ekko...it was just in fun. I'm sure it's not permanent...they wouldn't do that." He also looks to Angel and others who have been here longer, not really knowing.
[21:58] <Trish> /*\ that reindeer named Ekko must be out of her mind! We all know Grinches don't shed in the wintertime. /*\
[21:58] * pepper rounds up her kids and bids everyone goodnight and heads downstairs with them.
[21:58] * Pepper is now known as Ariana
[21:59] <@edgar`> the short man moved over towards the food table. grabbing a bear. he then just moved over to sit in the corner!
[21:59] <ekko> yah...ok...she helps Pepper go down to recover her emotional state
[21:59] * @ariana rises, yawning. "I think I'm going to go up and get a hot bath. I'll see you upstairs when you come up, Arash." She kisses him gently then scoops up paco and heads upstairs.
[21:59] * @ariana (Pepper@sorcery-uhvm0k.hstntx.sbcglobal.net) has left #darkshadows^shifters
[22:00] * Aesling goes and grabs food as well as a glass of water
[22:00] * +Angel` acel and addy help isis try to get the food set up right too
[22:00] <ekko> I likes Paco
[22:00] <+Angel`> "Hello Edgar, and yes scott?" looked to him smiling
[22:01] <+Celestial`Shade> [Arash] gently returns the kiss and stands to walk her home, then comes back after a few minutes to get some coffee.
[22:01] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> gestures to his face and then Ekko's condition. "That's gonna go back to normal, yeah?"
[22:02] <ekko> no..this was a cruel trick
[22:03] * +Shadow_wind would pad over then to join her counterpart, the wolf flopping down and against the spirit, as Breeze wouldrelax, curling around the wolf a bit.
[22:03] * Aelofin movesover getting some food as well " hello Aesling how are you?"
[22:03] <+Celestial`Shade> <Scott> shrugs and reaches over to poke the panda's shoulder gently. How heavy do these things sleep?
