Trente-cinquième Grimoire [phone]

[wizardoftheweek]

Some have probably asked and answered already, but I still have to wonder just why so many of our former fellow captives have returned. It's disconcerting.

Things have been quiet. Very quiet. Too quiet. I know I'm not alone in this sense of dread. This town always offers up its worse at times like this. I know it. And as bad as things have been lately...

I've been jumping at every little thing. I just want it to get it over with at this point. I'm tired of being afraid.

We don't have a lot of food in the house, anyway! [ Meiling exclaims with more glee than is necessary. Today was shopping day, right after cleaning, and she has obviously been distracted from that. ]

[then_there_were_none]

[Further distractions may be in the future. The Flandre that is not involved in the hugpile is disgruntled at this fact, and is now trying to jump and buzz her wings and clamber back into the center where there are hugs.

The second one hunkers down a bit against Meiling and makes some irritated chittering sounds at...herself.]

You're not supposed to do that!

[badladyscramble]

Well, we'll do something about it... later.

[Oh geez. It's been a while since Remi's seen this display.]

Now, now, Flan. Play nice. [With yourself.] There are enough hugs to go around.

[wizardoftheweek]

-They had to stop hugging eventually... but Patchouli was more than a bit amused that none of them were willing to pull away.-

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Or they could just die hugging. It wouldn't be the worst way to go.

Finally, Meiling pulls away and picks that clambering Flandre up to carry her. ] More than enough to go around, like your sister said. [ She beams. ] Let's go take a look in the kitchen. Maybe I can scrounge something together.

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre is still disgruntled! Though less so now. She still bats at the doppelganger Meiling was carrying when she thinks her sister can't see. Or maybe it was the doppelganger swatting at the original one. The other one clearly has more space and this is a Problem.

Then one kicks at the other and that sets off a fit of wing-flailing squabbling. Both will end up squirming away from Meiling in the process if they're not careful, though.]

[badladyscramble]

Stop that!

[Remi steps between the two batting them both away with her wings. Now it just a mini-vampire flail-fest.]
