Right, we need vouchers and lots of them. Especially if we want to dick around figuring out what we can actually get our hands on.

[ ... ]

A personal item? Or are we talkig more ambiguous here?

[shaft]

A personal item from home, you could say.

Is there anything you're angling for?

[chevaliered]

There's a couple of things I'd like to get my hands on.

[ ... ]

One of them's very dependant on the state they can bring it here in though, but hey. My options are open.

[shaft]

You sound like you might just recreate your old home here.

[ which, that's legit ]

[chevaliered]

[ pfft. ]

Nah. Something from it, sure. But the whole thing? I don't think so.

[shaft]

So what exactly is it? You've already got quite the useful friend in hand there.

[chevaliered]

What, and ruin the surprise?

[shaft]

I'm not a huge fan of surprises.

[chevaliered]

Shame. I’m not sure I have the capacity to explain soldats from square one again so I guess you’ll just have to wait and see if I can provide a visual.

[shaft]

Hm, I guess I can understand that.

[ there it is! another growl, and Claude whips his flashlight around with a frown. ]

What is that?

[chevaliered]

[ sometimes being lazy has benefits, who knew ]

… Hm.

[ crow’s grasp on his weapon tightens slightly as he glances around, looking to see if he can pinpoint the source of the growling. or figure out the direction in came from. ]

Either that’s one angry goose or there’s something nasty out there.

[shaft]

[ Claude's moving his phone around, but there's nothing around for them to see... ]

It sounds like an animal, but I have a hard time imagining why one would be so close to people without either retreating or attacking.

[chevaliered]

... Curious but wary of us? Could be it's used to people on campus, but we're too new for it to pop up around us?

[ he's just throwing out ideas but... maybe? ]

[shaft]

That's an idea.

[ Hmmm. ]

You used to hunting animals?

[chevaliered]

Fish on the end of a line, maybe. I'm adaptable though.

[shaft]

That's more experience than me.

Though for all we know, this could be a prank. Some sort of hazing ritual.

[chevaliered]

One hell of a hazing ritual if it is. Especially if it's involving a wild animal in the woods.

[ he is listening carefully, just to see if he can get an idea of the direction any sounds are coming from. ]

[shaft]

You can say that again.

[ And there— Claude hears it again, the light of his phone swinging around to see

A hoard of geese lying in wait. ]

[chevaliered]

[ there's a pause and then





... ]

Aw, fuck.

[ bye ]

[shaft]

[ Claude goes completely still. ]

Back away slowly...

[chevaliered]

[ bro he's already going, going, gooooone.





but like slowly and cautiously so as not to disturb the final boss. ]

[shaft]

[ Way to leave a man to die alone.

But fair enough, Claude also starts backing away, lowering the light on his phone.

One of their tails waggles threateningly. ]

[chevaliered]

[ it's fine, claude's resourceful.

...

okay no he's still here, he's just gonna hook two fingers in the back of claude's collar and start tugging him back. to aid in his escape. ]

[shaft]

[ Love Crow just grabbing Claude like a cat.

He doesn't mind however, and they can quickly tiptoe away!!

And once they're far enough - ] Maybe... geese do growl?

[chevaliered]

That is one particular experiment I am more than happy to leave to literally anyone else to find out.

[ fuck geese. ]
