If anyone sees Teddy around, he's safe. He's not a mimic. Please tell me where he is.

Solomon and I just left the Ornery Oak and are headed towards the Lodge from bighorn, it's just the two of us so if anyone is nearby, let us know and maybe we can join you? Or if you're alone, you can join us.

How do you know?

[cant_even]

[...] Because his mimic is dead.

[odder]

There can be more than one mimic.

[cant_even]

Well then tell it to find me and I'll kill them all until it's the real him.

[odder]

That's a terrible plan.
Just take him to the oak. It won't let him in. I think.

[cant_even]

That's what anon said. We have to kill the mimics, and find the objects. If that's what fixes this...

How do you know ? About the Oak.

[odder]

We have to kill the mimics so they won't kill us. We have to get the things back so that he can fix everything else. The mimics are still powerful, and we shouldn't underestimate them.

I was just there. It measured us before it let us stay.
[...] Granted, I think that's what it did. I don't speak tree; it's not foolproof.

[cant_even]

He should have said avoid How much more powerful are they now? [...] I know they are less easy to get rid of but do we know any more than that?

It didn't quite feel that way when we were there but it did feel [...] safe. I've never seen the tree so calm.

[nothalfplaid]

So?

[cant_even]

It'd be a bit obvious if they were masquerading as one who was dead though wouldn't it?

[nothalfplaid]

Why? You were ready to instantly accept the next version of him you saw. Seems like a good ploy.

[cant_even]

I was ready to accept the first one too. Just send him to me, please?

[nothalfplaid]

Sure. Your funeral.

[cant_even]

Thank you.

[lilwitchhazel]

How did you figure out that one was a mimic?

[cant_even]

It was just something he said that I knew he wouldn't say to me. I didn't know for sure until he tried to take my wand and I saw his eyes.

[lilwitchhazel]

His eyes?

We need, like, all the details. Even if we've heard them before.

How did you kill him?

[cant_even]

Morbid I see the point th

They flashed yellow, I think, for just a second. We were so close, it just wasn't his eye color.

[...] I used the blasting curse.

[lilwitchhazel]

Ew, did he

Any other important deets? Did he fuck anything else up? Was he using his his journal? What about his wand? What was his objective? Did you

[cant_even]

He wanted us to separate. Like, he wanted me alone. He didn't have a journal or wand.

[lilwitchhazel]

Ok - thanks for the info.

Also good job not dy glad you're safe. You guys be super careful, ok?

[cant_even]

Sorry it's not that useful.

Thanks. You too.

[lilwitchhazel]

It is - any extra info we have is good.

[cant_even]

[...] The bleed.

And can feel pain.

[lilwitchhazel]

[...]

K, so test stabs aren't going to get us anywhere.

[cant_even]

No probably not, but it might help if you do encounter a mimic.

Maybe they aren't as good at impersonating as we think. He didn't offer to take a sacrifice for me. Real Teddy would have. He obviously wasn't trying very hard to convince me he was Teddy. Not until we started accusing him.

[theniceboy]

Maybe they can’t make a sacrifice.

Because they’re not real.

[butterbear]

ISSY I'm here! I'm in the sauna. I just woke up here. Where are you? Are you safe? Is someone with you?

[cant_even]

I'm with Solo. We're not far.

[...] You better be you.

[butterbear]

Of course I'm me. This is the journal. They can't write in the journals. [...] Right? Did something change?

I'm coming to you. Just tell me where you are.

[cant_even]

I don't know. I don't know anything anymore.

[...] We're at the bridge. Please, please be you

[butterbear]

[...] You had to kill my mimic? Fuck Are you okay? It'll be okay, Issy. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[cant_even]

Don't No. No I am not.

[butterbear]

[....] Of course you aren't. But [...] you did it, Issy. It's horrible but you did it. You stopped a mimic. Because you are strong. You're strong enough to get through this, Issy. [...] I'll be there soon.

Teddy & Issy

[cant_even]

Don't - don't move on our own. There's [...] things. Asking for sacrifices. Just [...] please be safe. I can't lose you.
