Hey, beautiful. I miss you.

Write back so I know you didn't get eaten by a giant frog, since that's apparently a thing over wherever you guys are.

	I miss you too. I'm really glad to hear from you. And, oh, I'm...fine. Kind of injured? I hurt my arm pretty badly but at least it's my non-writing arm. But I also found a fantastic crossbow so I thought of you a lot. It's just difficult to use with, you know. The arm. And our supplies seem to also be missing. I'm sorry, this is very rambly.

	Ramble all you want, you know I'm a rambler, too. I'm just glad to hear from you. REALLY glad. Or see your handwriting, at least. That doesn't really sound fine at all. Are the supplies lost or were they taken? Are there healers with you? How did you hurt your arm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not sure. We came back and just found everything gone? It's really annoying but most everything in this adventure is. The girls with me are nice though - they know magic too.

There was a room full of these bugs, pests I guess, and they were swarming us. I got caught up in it and fell. Landed wrong. Also got a bunch of bug bites but that's the least of my concerns.

	~~I fucking hate this.~~ It's good you're not alone and I hope the girls are helpful. I wish I was there to ~~take ca~~ watch your back. Has your magic been working against these things you're dealing with? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It has, against the larger threats, but it's also - I don't want to freeze everything in the vicinity because I'm overwhelmed and there could be things we need to obtain or puzzles to solve before we can move on, so I'm also trying to control myself. Basically I just can't wait until it's over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As much as I want to be Team Freeze Everything, that's smart and makes much more sense strategically. Mobius says it seems like it's supposed to be a test or a quest, and I'm sure you're kicking ass. But I still think you should just be able to freeze it all and win.

Soon, hopefully. People over here are doing everything we can to get you all back. It sounds like Vallo has a mind of its own. They've had incidents similar to this in the past, I guess.

	It does feel like some kind of test. And I'm doing my best, I suppose. I'm good at building things, usually, but - I'm also tired and kind of hungry so I'm probably also not firing on all cylinders. When I return, hopefully we can do something fun together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They put you in an impossible situation. I know you're doing your best.

When you return, I'm coming over to make sure you sleep and eat until you're feeling like yourself again. Then we're going to cuddle puddle on the couch with Licorice (and candy licorice if you want some and CHOCOLATE, obviously) and watch Funny Girl. It's an actual classic and you'll love it.

	Cuddle puddle? Is that a real term? I like it. But yes. Candy licorice and Licorice and all of the chocolate. Plus an actual classic, which - when was an 'actual classic' made? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-23 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yep! I wish you had your phone so I could send you a gif for the visual. Guess I'll just have to demonstrate for you when you're back instead. This one was made in 1968. So it's not as old as film or anything, but it's way older than Mean Girls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snowqueenish 2022-02-23 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	I trust you to show me in person. It seems very intriguing. That does seem older than Mean Girls, but I enjoyed that one a lot. I'm looking forward to this junk food cuddle puddle movie-fest already. Oh, and if you have a moment can you see if Nokk's around? He should be near the sea, running along the waves, but I don't want him to get too frazzled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-23 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. Licorice misses you and so do I. We'll make sure your arm's healed up too. Hopefully it's just wrenched and not broken? You got it, I'll see if Dr. Strange will pop over with me to check on him. I'm sure he's okay, but is there any way I can help calm him down, in case? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Give Licorice some behind-the-ear scratches from me. I'd say also pet his belly but I know better. I should be fine though - it seems fractured, but I have a sling as best I can manage. It might be better tomorrow too, we'll see. It's like a weird time loop here.

Thank you so much. And I have a bridle hanging up out near the cottage - it looks like crystal, but you can toss it on him if need be. If you have Dr. Strange there to help a boost of magic should help with that too.

I'll risk the belly pets for you. I don't mind if he sinks those little claws into my hands - it's worth it. Please be careful and keep writing to me when you can, okay? And don't overextend yourself, especially while your arm is out of commission. Let the others help.

Cool, I'll definitely have him come with me then. He needs a break from staring into crystal balls or whatever it is he and Wanda and Prue are doing at all hours.

	I'll write as often as I can, I promise. And I won't injure myself further - at least not with my own stubbornness, anyway. In that case, definitely give him some fresh air. That sounds headache-inducing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-23 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	The stubbornness is hot, though. For the record. You can out stubborn me any day. I feel like it has to be. That and not sleeping for who knows how long. If he isn't the one to find some way for you to come back, I'll be surprised. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snowqueenish 2022-02-23 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	That's probably true, but I'm glad someone thinks it's 'hot,' Or that the person is you, rather. We'll see what happens. We had a very cute cat in the room with us the other day, maybe he holds all the secrets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-23 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	I have pretty exceptional taste. You're attracting the animal kingdom over there, too, huh? Was it a talking cat or just a regular cat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snowqueenish 2022-02-23 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	I think the same could be said about me. Just a regular cat, but it led us to some healing berries and other supplies. It was a nice spot to rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-23 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not going to argue with that logic. Speaking of resting, you should try to get some while you can. Are you some place comfortable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snowqueenish 2022-02-23 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	The beds in the safe room aren't very comfortable. But I make do, and will try my best to do some resting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeve 2022-02-24 12:22 am UTC (link)
	I guess I can't expect a nice bed in a place where they're throwing you into dangerous situations to solve puzzles. But I'll make sure your bed is all fluffy and clean for you when you get back here to make up for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
