(TXT to Enzo) August : hey. how are you holding up, alexander told me more of those little twits attacked you?
(TXT to August) Enzo : I'm fine. And yes. They're trying to murder me.
(TXT to Enzo) August : ...that doesn't sound like fine. you need help dealing with them, or did you get it sorted?
(TXT to August) Enzo : They've agreed to stop peeing on me and trying to kill me.
(TXT to August) Enzo : As long as I help them kill their Elder and father a bunch of gnome half breeds.
(TXT to Enzo) August : peeing on you, jesus christ. apologies, enzo, if there was anything I could have expected out of this, it was not...this.
(TXT to Enzo) August : ??? what.
(TXT to August) Enzo : See, Patrick seemed to think I should expect this. Who could expect this???
(TXT to August) Enzo : Anyway. I agreed to help them with their rebellion and I guess repopulation efforts, IDK what it actually involves.
(TXT to Enzo) August : patrick thinks we should never use our abilities and anything which results from it is our just desserts for doing so. so keep that in mind.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Yeah, yeah. I know Patrick.
(TXT to Enzo) August : okay. well, considering it's my fault you're in this mess, I'm willing to help however I can. but the elder is the one telling us where the gnomivorous trees are, so don't kick off this coup d'etat until after we've done that
(TXT to August) Enzo : I mean, I'll keep it in mind but if my choices are get peed on by acid again or kill the Elder, I'm picking not getting acid pissed on again.
(TXT to Enzo) August : look if whoever you struck the deal with is willing to tell us where the bad trees are, no problem, overthrow at will. long as we know where the problem is.
(TXT to Enzo) August : I'm not about to attempt to insist on posse comitatus for gnomes that literally stopped caring their baby died the second food was offered, you know? whatever gets them leaving you the fuck alone.
(TXT to August) Enzo : I have no idea what posse comitatus means and I'm too lazy to Google it. But they all seem KIND of crazy.
(TXT to Enzo) August : it's a law that says don't use the big guns for domestic matters. let gnomes be gnomes, in this case. but, well. we're officially in it, if they're coming over here peeing on you.
(TXT to Enzo) August : you need any healing? Alexander's whole 'stop healing people' thing aside, I'm not gonna not offer to patch you up some.
(TXT to August) Enzo : There's a whole 'stop healing people' thing? I'm probably going to be fine eventually. I was at the hospital for a little while.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Until I left.
(TXT to Enzo) August : left? oh, that rats?
<FS3> August rolls Alertness: Success (8 4 3 3 3 2 1) (Rolled by: August)
(TXT to Enzo) August : the*
(TXT to August) Enzo : Yeah, spoiler alert: it wasn't rats.
(TXT to Enzo) August : healing people gets Their attention on us. That can be bad. That said I don't say no if people need it.
(TXT to Enzo) August : ...of course it wasn't.
(TXT to Enzo) August : alright. look, this is my fault, at least in part. who knows, maybe those trees went bad for some other reason, but either way us being over there got us noticed by those little jerks. so when you know what you're doing about this revolution, I'll help however it's needed.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Eh, I'll be fine. I have drugs and antibiotics. If it gets really bad Beth can just be embalm me or something.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Thanks man, I'll let you know. I haven't really decided, I figure I can't go fighting anyting until I feel better anyway. The Elder Gnome is safe for like the next week or two weeks or whatever.
(TXT to Enzo) August : ...embalming is not likely to help. but I read you. okay, I think we can...get this done...in two weeks. I mean, who knows, maybe once we deal with that other situation they'll give up on their revolution.
(TXT to August) Enzo : It's possible. I definitely don't presume to know the full world of gnome politics.
(TXT to Enzo) August : I don't think we want to know. say, copies of your books. have some? I want to give them a read. some of us are thinking that's a way to save information about what we find out--write them into stories.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Yeah, sure. I guess it's worth a shot. I'll send some over to you.
(TXT to Enzo) August : thanks. take care, man. I'll let you know how tree stomping goes.
(TXT to August) Enzo : Cool, thanks. (thumbs up emoji)
