It's a sad song - It's a sad tale

[musacal]

[ WELL THAT... HAPPENED, HUH. YO WHAT THE FUCK DISCORD THAT'S BALLER.

Good thing the Wizard's probably going to be occupied with THAT for a while longer because it looks like this long ass, nogood day isn't quite over yet as there's still one more incoming curve ball. In contrast to the smell of smoke from the auditorium there seems to be a... sweet, banana-y baked good smell coming from the cafeteria? But who could have been baking while you were all at the trial--

If you go in there or even just pass by at all, you'll find on one of the tables there's a plate with several warm and fresh banana muffins. Underneath the plate, just sticking out enough so that you can see a corner peeking out, is a folded up note:


You are not alone. I'm here to help.
I'll be waiting for everyone in the
girl's washroom on the first floor.

Come and find me.
-a friend

At the bottom of the note is a small, hand drawn banana. The handwriting and muffins might look familiar to two of you.

...soooooooo you up for a meeting after all that shit? ]

[She sniffs.]

I will not let anyone down. Living or dead.

[sugarlumps]

...I've never seen you before in my life.

[Also there's an "S" in her name, jeez Nana.]

[comeandfindme]

Bal, you—

[ ALRIGHT. WELL. That does it! Peregrine needs to pass the phone off to someone else, anyone else, because she’s losing her composure, what little she could get back after that first punch to the heart, really fast. ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

It would be nice if something was easy for once, but hey, we haven't been that lucky so far.

We've lost around half of our group and we're nowhere closer to beating this.

[fourbutts]

Uncle B...

[ Janis bites her lip. ]

I'll find you. Least I can do.

[ Now she just... has to figure out how to be a better Narrator than the really experienced one here, with no guidance on being a Narrator whatsoever! Easy peasy. ]

[fourbutts]

To quote Dominic Toretto, greatest man in fiction: Welcome to the family.

[sugarlumps]

Why are there more than one of him, oh my glob!?

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine pulls her into a hug and, throwing reservations to the wind, kisses her cheek. ]

I know you won't.

[comeandfindme]

[ ... ]

You've...seen the Fast and the Furious movies?

[stagemanagers]

[Finally, the camera settled on a woman, radiant and resplendent,  as she flashes a dazzling smile. It's a little odd though, the way she's looking directly into the camera almost feels like she's speaking to more than just the survivors.]

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around

[She winks at a certain someone reading this and extends her hand toward Nana and, by extension, the camera. An invitation to step through.]

But I've got friends on the other side

[The video ends there.]

[barberic]

[He raises the hand that's not the one around Farrah, to show he's harmless.]

No harm done. That's one mystery solved, at least.

I'm sorry if we frightened you by giving chase, we were just being cautious.

[fourbutts]

[ OH SHE'S GAY SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THIS-

Janis looks directly into the- well, as far as she knows she gives a reaction shot to like. A wall. And then looks confused. ]

[sugarlumps]

[A new rival has appeared]

[brokeforgood]

[That song…

Sorry, Benji. No matter how tsundere you are right now— Farrah’s going to turn against him to hide her face, and weep.]

[mayavericks]

They filmed one of those in Japan, did they not?

[fourbutts]

You kidding? Every damn one.

[musacal]

[ When it ends, Nana is beaming. ]

That was my Boss at the end, by the way.

[ Can you blame her for fucking off for a year. ]

[musacal]

YEAH THERE'S LIKE 3??

ISN'T THAT REALLY WEIRD?

[musacal]

The other ones. The ones who made it possible for me to be here.

[ She brings Elle's attention towards what she is now handing over to Peregrine. ]

[sugarlumps]

I hate it. And them. This is awful.

[She has been carrying one of the banana muffins since she got here, it's been here all along, don't question it- the point is this is the moment she chooses to just. Nom it whole.]

[musacal]

It's all right, I don't blame you for doing so. I'm sure our group would have done the same and I think I'd rather be chased by you guys than Uncle Mephy.

[mcfife]

[He's not going to admonish her for eating it whole, this is stressful.]

Why does this Wizard love SQUIPs so much? Is it their programming? Their function?!

[musacal]

[ She was ready to protest but at that she... can't help but smile and then hastily wipe her eyes before anyone could notice they started watering. ]

Hah... how can I protest against that...?

[ ... ]

...Thank you.

[comeandfindme]

Uhhh— yeah, that one was... [ ...... ] You know, it wasn't as bad as everyone says it was.

[comeandfindme]

[ Well shit!! ]

...Fun! Cool!
