The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[NameIess]

The invisible thing hung on to his leg, pausing only for a moment before continuing upwards.

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Shoe swatted the thing with his hand.

Nogard sat up. "What is it? Are we being attacked?"

[NameIess]

The thing (which was rather small and very furry) used the opportunity to latch onto Shoe’s arm, from where it scrambled across his shoulders, ran down his other arm, and started nibbling on Shoe’s muffin.

He dropped the muffin and tried to pull whatever it was off with two hands.

The thing leapt off of him.

on the ground, the muffin disappeared almost instantly, as if set upon by a horde of voracious beasts.

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Shoe shook himself violently to get the feeling of the thing off.

Then he mourned for his muffin.

[NameIess]

The old man frowned disapprovingly at some muffin crumbs that seemed to be hovering a few inches off the ground. “Sorry about that. They can be rather mischievous. I hope Atkins didn’t frighten you too badly.”

Shoe turned sharply to the old man, glaring daggers.

He pointed to the floating crumbs and spread his palms out in an angry, questioning stance.

“Well, things on the outside of them sometimes don’t turn invisible. The magic is slightly inconsistent, I will admit, but food crumbs usually stay visible, especially when it’s stolen food.”

Shoe rubbed his temples and sighed.

"Apologies. I've tried my best to train them not to steal food or scare people, but they're difficult sometimes."

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Nevermind, thought Shoe. He leaned against a wall and slid to the floor.

[NameIess]

Something licked his hand hopefully.

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

He jumped and shied away from where the invisible creature... probably was.

[NameIess]

Something else poked his foot. It felt like a rather small paw.

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Shoe growled in frustration and pulled his foot away.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Wait," said Nogard. "Let me get this straight. You control an army of invisible hamsters?"

 

[NameIess]

"Hamsters? What a ridiculous idea. Hamsters are hardly intelligent enough to learn to follow instructions. Besides, they have rather unfortunate tendencies towards hemalurgy. No, I shepherd a herd of invisible rabbits."

How did a rabbit climb Shoe?!

Rabbits?! Thought Shoe. How did a rabbit climb me?!

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Oh," said Nogard, staring at the crumbs floating in the air. "Huh."

He pondered this for several moments.

"Hey, at least it's not a squirrel," said a disembodied voice.

"They can talk!?" exclaimed Nogard.

[NameIess]

"No. That's an invisible person."

They're quite agile invisible rabbits.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Oh. Well, hello! What's your name?"
