Idk, the one they were hanging out at. I think so. 

“I… don’t know,” Bat said. “That was… absolutely terrifying.” 

Rose nodded and sat down on the sand, eyebrows knitting together thoughtfully. 

Cool

Tam took the piece of paper out of her pocket and unfolded it.

Trust the process.

The rest appeared to be meaningless gibberish.

Tam glared at the paper and stuck in back in her pocket.

It would make sense eventually, she supposed.

"Well, great." She leaned up against the tree she'd grown. "Now what?"

[Invested Flautist He/him]

Gurwarp stepped forward, dodging three pressure plates and a tripwire.

Bat ran over what had happened in his head one more time. 

“Can I have a hug?” He whispered.

Aelorin masterfully executed the same maneuver. “Careful. There is a dart trap just ahead.”

She nodded and gave him a hug.

A snake slithered up to Rose.

He hugged her back tightly. 

“What do you think of me?” He whispered. “I mean really.” 

—

She scowled at it. “What?? I’m keeping my raxing thoughts to myself. You bite me, and I’ll stomp you and your babies and every snake I ever see. After I call Bat over to fix me. You know he will.” 

Rose dropped her head into her hands. “I’m arguing with a stupid snake now.”

She sighed. "Bat, I didn't mean any of that, earlier. You're a wonderful person, and I'm glad we're friends."

-

It hissed at her threateningly and curled up like it was about to strike.

“I know you didn’t mean it,” he insisted. “But… there’s got to be something that you could say that you’d mean. —That is… well… I don’t know.”

—

Her hand shot out, grabbed it just under the head, and crushed its spine.

"Well . . . I'm not sure what it would be."

Ten more slithered out of the ground, hissing dangerously.

This time, The Scribe did nothing to the Ssneckos.

Bat bit his lip. “Gotcha. I’ll… figure it out. Sorry.”

—

“UGH,” she complained, then stood up and stomped on all of them woth her thick leather boots, twined woth stiff Nullite threads.

She laughed lightly and let go. "There's nothing to apologize for."

A grizzly bear lumbered out of the trees.

Tam's Author wondered what a Ssnecko was.

Were they the invisible snakes from the wedding?

He smiled nervously. “Thanks. Uh… so what do we do now?”

She rolled her eyes ands drew her rapier.

The Ssnecko’s Author told Tam’s Author that they were a Slay the Spire thing. They were really annoying and randomized the cost of the cards in your hand.

Tam's Author was kind of annoyed that the Ssnecko's Author kept bringing that game up, because none of the other Authors knew what it was.

She yelped and crushed it with her boot. 

“Hey, Tam,” she yelled, assuming her to be the source of the snakes, “You’re stupid.”

It had still bitten her, though.

Tam was not, in fact, the source of the snakes.

Regardless, Tam glared at her, and a bucket of water was suddenly dumped on Rose's head.

Unlike the snakes, the bucket was, indeed, from Tam.

The Ssnecko’s Author, who realized it should only be one s and the two s thing was for a different snake thing, pointed out that that was the point. He also recommended the game.

He was also very bored, and wanted someone to RP a boss fight for him and Kino, keeping in mind that neither of them had superpowers.

The Snecko’s Author was relieved.

So there.
