WE'RE STILL HERE AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS FOR GRUMP'S SAKE

[Well today was quite the unusual way. Filbo pretty much went into his room and collapsed on his bed and just fainted because hey, everything that happened? It's overwhelming. Bluuuuuuuh.

A few hours later, once he recovered somewhat, Filbo just goes and gets paper. This is a ridiculous situation, but...hey, no matter what, stuff needs to be done]

I know today was a really weird day, but let's try to gather and see what happens. There will be ice cream at the ice cream parlor in half an hour. With everything that happened we really should try to at least not forget we need to stick together for whatever reason.

[Geez.

Well, he goes and does exactly what he said: this time it isn't booze, it's all kinds of ice cream available for anyone who comes. The tables all have spoons and water because really, this is going to be a whole lot of sugar for everyone. Better this than alcohol, especially since things clearly have gone off the rails one way or another, so may as well gorge yourself with ice cream and try to gather your wits for whatever the next week can bring]

Precisely. I mean, she has legs now, but...

[cethflayn]

And she can breathe air?

[magycks]

Flayn. She's a singleminded magical construct designed to devour treasure until she finds the one necessary to exact my grim vengeance. She doesn't need to breathe.

[cethflayn]

Oh.

[Look,]

That was not entirely clear just from the phrase "money shark".

[magycks]

It was perfectly clear! How many forms of currency have you met with lungs?

[cethflayn]

None. But that is also not my first thought when combining both money and sharks.

[magycks]

... Wait, what was your first thought?

[cethflayn]

Honestly, my first thought was that such a thing did not make sense, and I wanted to hear how it was possible.

[magycks]

Oh. Well... it's just magic, okay?

[cethflayn]

Okay. [Nods because that makes sense.]

[magycks]

[ flayn, you do not deserve this but bless you for tolerating it anyway ]

Anyway. She's not easily destroyed by brute force... or wasn't, before she got downsized. I've been meaning to sic her on the casino, actually.

[cethflayn]

[Look, at least she's willing to accept "It's magic" as a legitimate reason]

Ah, you did say she devours treasure. I do not know how much the "Jackbucks" could be worth, but maybe she will like them nonetheless.

[You know, in that way little kids love eating really bad frozen pizza.]
