I will not make this look pretty later, don't believe me it's all a lie

====

INVENTORY:

-The Punisher: Wolfwood's cross gun, normally covered in wrappings.
INFO from the mods on use so I don't forget: The cross-gun will be able to fire regular bullets (regains of these can be handwaved; silvered bullets can be purchased in the bonus AC store) just fine, without any special nerfs. The laser feature will be usable a max of 3 times a month.

-4 Vials of his Drugs(tm)
Info from the mods on use so I don't forget: Wolfwood can start with up to 5 vials of his Lab Drugs. More of these can be regained for the price of a Small Item (a maximum of 5 at once), but they will not work on other player characters for obvious reasons. Their healing ability will also be slightly nerfed to not heal anything instantaneously, but rather over a few minutes.
3/7: All Vials have been used. Will need to purchase replacements if he wants to use them again.
???: Forgot to put the date here but he's purchased more Vials, one has been used to he has 4 currently.

( nene jolts and stares for a moment before she tries to scoot over to him. there's no sign of injury save for the remains of her plant pieces, or anything broken or ruined or... anything. )

--Oh! Wolfwood! Did you see Affogato- he's going to do something stupid--

( there's a mix of rage and panic and just- ohhhh, she's gonna throttle this guy, honestly! if she could stand she'd have tackled his ass to the GROUND. )

Woah, woah. Slow down.

[Wolfwood kneels to her level so he can look at her directly, relieved at least to see that she isn't hurt at all or anything.]

Affogato? Wasn't he just in the clinic?

[With everyone else...with Mizuki. He's pretty sure he saw him go in, even if he didn't go in himself. Too many people for him right now.]

What do you mean stupid, what's goin' on?

( right. right. nene inhales- )

Affogato offered to go to help get Mizuki, and I said. No. Because I don't trust him. I don't trust him because in a past life he was my biggest backer whenever I was being possessed by the forest, and I didn't think it'd be a good idea for him to go in or anywhere near the Garden.

He asked why and I thought if I'm wrong, I shouldn't just... accuse him of stuff on the notebooks while people are already working up into accusing each other? So I told him to come talk to me.

( she will politely pause so wolfwood can make sure he's following along right. )

[She doesn't trust him? Well, even if they didn't have some kind of history, that would track. He does not make himself out to be the MOST trustworthy guy, but Wolfwood also just has a radar for that sort of thing. He's worked with far too many snakes, after all.

He rests a hand on his good knee, frowning.]

Okay...so what's the problem, then? He didn't show, or...?

He did! And we talked, and I told him why I think he's the worst. Because I do. That's mean, but still. I told him what he did in his past life.

( this is where she falters, tugging on her own hair a bit. )

And then he got. Weird. Remorseful. And... he told me he did name the fallen sun, because he was upset and wanted to hurt people the way he felt hurt. And then he said he was going to "fix this", and "if I'm lucky, he'll stay gone" and he left. He's going to do something stupid, Wolfwood.

[He did name the fallen sun leaves her lips, and Wolfwood's ears start to ring. It's like one of those times where your emotions just reach a fever pitch, where so much has happened in such a short amount of time your brain breaks. And it's only thanks to that that he doesn't immediately surge to his feet.]

That son of a fucking bitch-

[He catches himself a second too late, grimacing, then quickly after:]

Sh- shoot, sorry, don't repeat that. Nene, where did he go?!

I don't know! I don't-

( nene falters a bit before leaning forward, keeping her balance with her hands against the bed. )

I don't think this should be made public just yet. Not until he's found. We don't need a lynch hunt or mob justice. But whatever he's doing, I don't know where it is.

...I know. I get it.

[Emotions...are way too high right now, and he knows how people can get. How he can get. And a lot of people- including him- really loved Mizuki. It's not going to be pretty, and he's sure that Affogato is well aware of that.

He just...hopes this isn't another "secret" he gets shit for keeping. At least it feels warranted, in this case.

If it were anyone else, Wolfwood would probably just let Affo rot out there in the woods somewhere, but Nene is distraught, and...who knows what he could be doing. If he named the Creature, it can't be anything good.]

Do you want me t'go after 'im?

Yes. I think he's going to try to hurt himself out of guilt. If you need anyone with you, tell them what you have to- I just...

...

We're already hurting so much right now.

[Jesus Christ. Okay.]

...no, s'fine. I can handle it.

[It's like Nene said. If more people than him get involved, it could become a mob more than just one guy going to find another. Wolfwood can't promise he won't have words or maybe a fist to share with Affogato depending on how things go, but...]

You stay here, a'ight? My shades are enchanted like the golden glasses, so I can see past the fog out there. I'll see what I can do.

Well, I can't really do much else right now. ( no leggie nene... ) ... Before you go, can you drop me off at the general store? Heimr will take care of me from there. I just figure if more emergencies come up, the clinic will need all the space it can get.

Sure thing.

[If Nene allows it, then, Wolfwood will carefully lift her into his arms as he shifts to stand, propping her up on his hip before starting to head out. It's slow on his end too, considering.]

...an'. Just so you know, if somethin' does happen, it ain't your fault. Okay?

I know. ... He's throwing this tantrum because Pure Vanilla Cookie helped the holy rain from the Cosmic Serpent- I think... I'm free.

I just wish this wasn't happening as a result.

( but she allows this, holding on tight. )

[Free?

...oh, shit. Well. That does put things into perspective. No wonder the Creature is throwing the biggest shitfit on the planet right now.

He huffs as he heads out, trudging to the store. It's a ghost town outside, since everyone is either at the clinic or otherwise indoors.]

That's just how it is here. Somethin' is always gonna be goin' on.

[Even when things should be calmer, like at the beach. Ugh.]

Ain't that the truth. I'm tired of it, honestly. ... Bet you guys are feelin' worse, though.

( she squeezes her hold a bit, like a hug. )

... Good luck with your search. I don't know what's going to happen after this. Whatever did the bites is also still out there.

[Aw. Wolfwood appreciates it, even if he can't reciprocate it too easily.]

That's an understatement, but...I'll be fine. It takes a hell of a lot to put me down, as it turns out.

[He enters the store quietly, glancing around to see if Heimr is in before he gently finds someplace for Nene to sit.]

I'll try to hurry, but I can't promise anythin'.
