did u think i FORGOT / backdated to before the event

Lup's Stone of Farspeech crackles to life as a voice comes in. Do these things crackle? They do now. And hey, your old buddy Merle is at the other end.

"Lup! Something just-- Something amazing is on that island! I think Pan's trying to reach me!"

It's probably like at the ass crack of dawn or something. Stop meditating or whatever, this is more important.

Meanwhile, Merle is running at top speed back towards Camp BASE from wherever he was when this revelation of plant owls came to light.

Who meditates, what do you think this is, some nerd shit? Lup was blissfully asleep, thank you very much, and she sounds it too, when she reluctantly digs herself out of several blankets and limbs to grab the Stone before anybody else gets woken up.

"What the fuck-- Slow your roll, grandpa. The fuck you even doing--" Hang on. Hold the fucking Stone. "...Did you say Pan?"

In between panting breaths and jostling sounds as Merle scurries his way to the mana pool, he gets out as much as, "Plants! Owls! They're here!" before leaving that cryptic message up for interpretation as the Stone fizzles out.

Within the next few minutes, Merle comes barreling into the camp and absolutely trips over a rock or something and faceplants right in front of Lup. He just sort of lies there for a while, inhaling dirt probably as he takes beleaguered breaths.

"There's a sign," he says, lifting his head up and trying his best to whisper hoarsely, "from God, on that island."

You know what? She's not even gonna try to decipher that cryptic ass bullshit, instead opting to use the time to put on some goddamn pants. He's excited about what, plants? He's always excited about plants, they've repeatedly asked him not to be, so what makes this different?

Guess she'll find out in a second, as heralded by the faint melody of a disturbed wind chime trap and the sweet pitter patter of tiny feet. She's already got her mouth open to greet and/or fucking shush him when he just totally beefs it.

Yikes. Should she like, help him up? Dwarves are pretty earthy, right, maybe this is good for him actually. Just what he needs to calm his shit. Except, it seems like he's really and truly hype about this, and it's infectious. Lup squats down in front of him and grins.

"Then we better go check it out!"
