[CRICKET/LAUREL/IVY:]

Hey Cricket. Did you find anything in the library on what might have made those hoofprints? I have some free time this weekend if you want to double up on it. ~~It's gotta be~~

[LEO/LAUREL/IVY:]

Will you entertain a silly request from Laurel and me?

[ULYSSES:]

So the wifi thing was clearly a prank, but I'm willing to call a draw. There's definitely something in the woods.

[LAUREL (ADDED LATER):]

Are you up to go again?

Hey now, I don't believe we were talking wifi at the time. And a draw's not quite a concession, but I'll forgive it, given the circumstances.

What did you find?

Come on. It was totally a prank. They figured out who did it and everything.

Well my sister and I went out to the Grotto. She got this magic probe from the talent show and we were looking around to see what we could see. And we saw hoofprints. Like, big ones. And only with the probity, not in the snow or anything.

~~Well~~ What, "Azurecrest grads"? C'mon, Templeton 2. That's gotta be bogus. Why would anyone willingly go back to a high school?

[ ... ] Shit. How big you mean? Size of your hand, maybe?

~~Why am I #2~~ But the teachers are clearly willing to admit something's going on. They even said the anon writer is probably involved. Why would they lie about the wifi prank?

No, bigger than my hand.

Couldn't tell you. But me, I'm not willing write off anything spooky. Not 'til I see proof for myself.

Oh, well that's just downright unnatural. Damn! Now this is getting exciting. Think you could draw it?

~~If that's not proof then what do you~~

Uh, yeah. Hold on.

[...]

Giant deer hoof.

Not to sound like a skeptic, but you're sure this ain't just some buck with clown feet?

We were thinking moose?

Look, they were huge. Deer aren't that big.

It's possible. Not too common this far south, but unless moose-spotting's all part of the prank, we know they wander down here. Big animals.

Not that big, though. Not magic, either. Look, I believe you.

Take me there.

I don't want to go back, especially not at night again.

Ivy.

It just seems like a really bad idea.

Ivy. We're on the edge of something incredible. ~~I'm real scared too, but~~ Now's not the time to play chicken.

Who knows if there'd even be footprints there again? Maybe it was a one-time thing.

Won't know unless we look. And you're the only one with a magic mirror.

[...] It's actually my sister's so she'd have to come too.

Yeah, alright. You let her know, then.

Saturday morning. Meet us at Ribbonfin.

~~Morning is~~ ~~phew~~ With bells on.

I might.What's up?

So whatever's out in the woods, it leaves behind magic footprints that show up on Laurel's probity probe. We're just trying to rule things out and were wondering if it might be an unregistered animagus or something. The prints looked like moose, maybe? So we just wanted to check to see if animagi leave footprints that show up on the probe.

[...] For the record, I'm firmly camp we shouldn't be playing detective with this stuff. So be careful.
But since I want to know if I have turtle prints, sure.

I mean, I'm definitely not going out there again. But is there really any harm in reading books...?

Maybe not.
Just I know it's caused enough trouble around Ebonhide and I have the weird theory the more attention we give it, the more it wants. That could be wrong.
I am interested in this probe though.

You know, I was kind of thinking that. I don't know, it seems like it's been... doing way more this year, if it's the same thing that's always been making the anon posts. But it seems shy, also.

Yeah. But shy and reaching out now.
Shy doesn't mean harmless, though. It can do something to manipulate Feelings.
Who knows what else.

We just need to teach It how to interact with us more effectively / safely
That's all

Sure about that?

No
But it's how I feel

Yes !!

Ulysses wants to come with us.

Ulysses?

Okay
That's all right

Yeah, and he's kind of... heard it? Talked to it? I don't know. ~~But, uhm~~

Maybe we should go during the day this time? I don't want to get in trouble.

Oh yeah like through the door ?

Me neither
Especially Now

Maybe we could try during lunch?
Or would it be too obvious we're both missing

Maybe Saturday before LARP?

Yeah, when we were all locked in.

Okay, uhm
Saturday's good I think. I'll tell him.

Oh and also, Robin's snake. Someone left it on his doorstep in a basket, no note or anything.
Maybe look at the basket with the probity?

I can't Imagine
It's SO COOL it could use their voices like that?
I mean
Not cool but
You know
What a crazy creature

Sweet

Good idea!!
Do you want to see if he'd be ok with it
I mean I could ask too

No :( I don't think any of the books in the library have an answer for us -- I've been lookin on and off since October for creatures with antlers (and I assume, hooves) and haven't come up with a thing yet.

But I was gonna ask Ms. Petrichor tomorrow if she can make some requests and have books sent from other libraries. And I bet Ms. O'Hare will have some good suggestions!
