Michael is smiling because 🅱odd 🅱oward is his government-issued fursona! :)

Kardala is yelling because she misses Stabby.

VIVE LA STABBY

[whyisremyflipping]

RISE

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Hmm… I’m afraid I haven’t been able to contact anyone recently due to some… Events. However, do I hear talk of revival? This interests me. [He stops, almost shocked.] Oh! How rude of me, I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Michael. :)

[whyisremyflipping]

BRING US DUCT TAPE AND A KNIFE

[whyismichaelsmiling]

I- Yes, of course...? [He hurries off to collect the supplies.] Duct tape can be used to resurrect a human? It really can do anything... :T

Guys its Barry

[ask-johnhunger]

Hello, my good friend John. I need to fill in some official... forms. You wouldn't happen to have a pencil or a pen, would you? :) -Michael

John sighs heavily before pressing his lips to Michael’s hand for a spilt second.

“Yeah, I have one somewhere around here. If you don’t mind my asking… what sorts of forms are filling out?”

@whyismichaelsmiling

[whyismichaelsmiling]

L-long ones… [Michael is confused by his hand being kissed, and is slightly red] What… What was that? -///-

[ask-johnhunger]

“Oh, right. I got another weird kiss spell put on me, and I guess you said one of the words that put it into affect. The kiss was purely platonic, think nothing of it.”

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Right. Sorry, I don’t usually receive much affection… Of any kind. And sorry, about the spell, is there anything I can do to help, my friend? :/

[ask-johnhunger]

“Oh, sorry. I completely understand. I’ll try to ask next time… if anything like this happens again, that is.”

“I don’t think you can do much to stop these spells, except maybe avoiding questions. That happens to be the trigger for another spell.”

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Do you know what words trigger the spell? We could write a sign that says “Don’t say these words!” and hang it around your neck? :T

[ask-johnhunger]

“I know that one of them is ‘pen’. But telling people not to do things tends to make them want to do it more… Also, could you please try and not ask questions? It’s making it extremely difficult for me to concentrate.”

[whyismichaelsmiling]

I'll assume that is another spell... Well, do tell me if you need anything. I'll be signing those forms if I can find a pe- writing utensil... I'll be in the "mourge". :/

Kardala is yelling because dogs are not allowed in the dog park.

[why-is-barclay-uncomfortable]

Barclay is uncomfortable because the dog park does not exist.

[whyismichaelsmiling]

I heard a voice from inside what I assume to be the dog park. I thought people were not allowed in the dog park... :/

[gingerlovesio]

Important

Guys, there’s a tumblr going around called nonbinary-genocide that basically attacks people and tells them to kill themselves. It’s absolutely disgusting and I just wanted to warn you all. I know there’s like 30 of you but please share this.

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

@whyisirenenervous @whyismichaelsmiling 

Oh, Sorry ma’am, I didn’t… M-m-my name is Gandy Dancer, Wizard for hire. Do you know a Mary? Or a Nadiya, or Irene?

[whyisirenenervous]

…wait, did… i don’t… why… (she dusts herself off and stands up from her desk) yeah, i’m irene! that’s me. what do you need with me or my friends? wait, ignore that question. how the h*ck did you two get here? (she offers you a hand to help you stand up)

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Yeah I… Sorry, I’m still a little woozy. Do you have a bathroom? I’d really like to wipe my face off.

[whyisirenenervous]

oh! right!! i’m so sorry. down the hall, second door to your left. it should have a sign above it, if you need, i can show you. does, your friend, er, uh- michael, need any help?

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Ask him, I really just need to… [She runs off to wipe herself down]

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Hrrrm… [He shakes his head and slowly gets up.] I think I’m getting too old for that. [He looks up] Oh! Hello! :’)

[whyisirenenervous]

so… uh…. pardon my rudeness, make yourself at home, but….. WHO ARE YOU GUYS??? and also why are you in my room

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Oh, it is a very long and convoluted story, which I will attempt to make short for you: A person got kidnapped in this deminsion, and in our deminsion, Gandy, the woman who just ran to your bathroom, got in contact with friends of the person here by means of a… a magical pelt, if I recall correctly? and asked me to help her cross the border of worlds with my ‘insanely cool magicks’, which I did, and now we are here for some reason, and now I am telling you what happened! Why your room, though, I don’t know… :/

[whyisirenenervous]

oh, boy. you’re looking for mary, right? :((( i haven’t seen her in days… but i guess i don’t get out as much as i used to, anyway. maybe there’s something tucked away in here that Karda- uh, my friend dragged back that influenced you two into teleporting here specifically. something that could help track her down? i don’t know. but it’s worth a shot i guess. 

or you could try to hunt down nadiya if you don’t need me, she’s good with this stuff :(

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[Gandy has come back, and leans against the doorframe, wiping some tears away from her eyes. Throwing up suuuucks]

Michael’s mostly right, except I was using a book to talk to you all, not a pelt. I haven’t been able to talk to Nadiya. A woman named Kardala has agreed to help, but I’d need to find her too. 

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!!! thats… a little inconvenient. okay, in short, i’m kardala. this is a place where people get tested and experimented on to get all kinds of superpowers, and i’m one of them. it’s not really a power with me specifically, but every once in a while i turn into a hulking thunder goddess that i can hear in my brain sometimes. she says hi, by the way. :)

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[Gandy blinks.] OH! You’re Irene! Okay, we talked a little. I remember Kardala telling me about you. You chimed in a little bit. 

Again, Gandy Dancer, Wizard for hire. [She holds her hand out for a shake.] 

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!! right, sorry i forgot to introduce myself.  (she shakes your hand gently) nice to meet you two. so, uh, how are you guys planning on hunting down mary? last i saw her, she was acting kinda sporadic and… kinda didn’t remember who i was a little bit. :((

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[she nods, thoughtfully, and puts on her pinchnez.] If you can lead me to her room, and I can find one of her hairs,flakes of skin, anything like that, I can cast a thaumaturgic spell to hunt her down. 

It’s also nice to hear from you that you also believe she has lost her memory. Up until now, I’ve only known that Mary claims that Nadiya has been experimenting on her, and that Nadiya claims that she’s lost her memory.  It does at least help clear up the truth of the situation. 

[she pulls out a notebook and writes that Mary has been actin erratically, prior to being kidnapped.]

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[Michael shuffles his feet, unsure what to do] So, um… anything I can help with? I would hate to just be a dead weight keeping you all behind… :/

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Hmmm… Do you have wings?

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[He widens his eyes, and blushes a little bit] Ah, well… technically, yes, but it’s… it’s been a while. I might be a bit clunky… and I’ve never actually shown them to any mortal before, or at least one who I have let live… Right, okay. Yes. Am I now on ‘transportation duty’? -///-

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[Her eyes flick up at him, just a little flame in them] Well gee, O Holy Knight, if they mean that much to you, I guess we can take horses and cross our fingers she’s still alive in a week. Irene, can you get me to her room so I can find some of her essence?

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!!! of course. (she leads you two down the hall opposite of the bathroom and is about to open a door) uh, sorry if this is being really rude, but… how do i know whether you’re actually here to help her? i mean, not that you’re not nice and all, but… how can i trust you two?

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[She considers this. Her first reaction was that it was a little rude but now was the time to stop and think.] Well, what could we stand to gain from lying? I suppose with some of her hair, or her name given freely from her own lips, we coupd do her harm, but that would require quite a bit of energy, and besides, it would be incredebly likely that if I wasn’t trustworthy I would be with the organization thays taken her.

Unless of course, I was with a third party. Although if a third party was trying to do her harm…. Look, I’d rather not spend energy on solving the hypothetical crime I’m committing. [She suddenly grows weary] In fact, how can I know I can trust you?

[whyisirenenervous]

i guess because i’m the one that you barged in on and not the other way around. i mean, ive been living with mary and nadiya and remy for months!! if i could show you i was kardala of my own free will i would, but our power isn’t a big fan of cooperation. anyway, you guys seem nice enough i guess. (she opens the door to mary’s room) really sorry about all that.. mary’s kinda paranoid about someone coming to get us and i guess that got to my head. well, she wasn’t half wrong, when you think about it :(

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[Michael shuffles behind them] H-hey, I didn’t say we couldn’t, okay? It’s just my first time, you know, and I’ve got performer’s anxiety… If you need me to – ahem, fly you to wherever you need, I suppose I can. Yes. Yep. Sorry. :’/

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[she squeezes her eyes shut, frustrated by his reluctance, and her paranoia.] No, It’s fine. Both of you. I shouldn’t have snapped at either of you. I just keep thinking about Mary, with those people, getting who knows what kind of drugs pumped into her, and who knows what experiments… [she visibly shudders] Y’all, I’m sorry if I’m being short with you, you don’t deserve that. I’m just trying to save a girl, alright? 

[whyismichaelsmiling]

You are all right… It’s not something you would understand, it probably seems very simple to you, but it’s complicated to – nevermind. [He unties his apron and slips it off over his head.] Just tell me when… I don’t want to ruin another good shirt. :/

[whyisirenenervous]

oh.. oh gosh, im so sorry, gandy. i shouldn’t have been like that. that was real rude of me… :(( (she lets out a sign and a look of heavy worry) we should just, uh, check out her room in case there’s anything that could tell us where she went. i really wish i could tell you guys more, but kardala’s been getting more and more time out of the body, and usually when i’m here its when we’re sleeping and i don’t catch wind of a lot of this :(

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Nah, you were being smart, Ma’am. I’d have asked the same questions. 

[she walks further into the room, and starts digging through the drawers. She closes the last one with a huff, and looks around the room, with hands on her hips.] Aha! [she rushes over to the desk, and picks up a hairbrush.] This’ll work just fine. 

Irene, what’s the fastest way to get around in this world? Michael, if you would rather, maybe we can take something in this tech-future-science-fiction world.

[whyisirenenervous]

i mean, we have this really radical skimmer. it’s like a smaller airplane and it goes pretty d*ng fast. well, not an airplane. more like a big drone, but you catch my drift. i think that it’s the best transport we have round here.

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

… I don’t understand what you just said. Buuuut if it can fly and it’s quicker than a horse, I’m just fine with it. Can you take us to the… Hallelujah place?

[whyisirenenervous]

halleluland! that’s where we found mary. if we’re lucky, the coordinates of the theme park should still be in the skimmer’s mainframe, get there in a jiffy. :) (she leads them both to the skimmer, gesturing for one of them to get in first)

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[Michael breathes a sigh of relief, and climbs in] It’s a little small… [Just as he says that, he bangs his head on the ‘roof’] Hrmm… well, better than actual flying, I suppose. :T

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

It doesnt feel like there’s any magic in this. How does it stay up?

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[While Michael is interested in the answer, he is suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of exhaustion. He yawns, and tries to make himself comfortable.] I hope you don't mind, but even angels need to sleep, and I haven't in a while. Mind if I take a bit of a nap? [However, he doesn't wait for an answer, and closed his eyes.] -_-

[Gandy blinks.] OH! You’re Irene! Okay, we talked a little. I remember Kardala telling me about you. You chimed in a little bit. 

Again, Gandy Dancer, Wizard for hire. [She holds her hand out for a shake.] 

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!! right, sorry i forgot to introduce myself.  (she shakes your hand gently) nice to meet you two. so, uh, how are you guys planning on hunting down mary? last i saw her, she was acting kinda sporadic and… kinda didn’t remember who i was a little bit. :((

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[she nods, thoughtfully, and puts on her pinchnez.] If you can lead me to her room, and I can find one of her hairs,flakes of skin, anything like that, I can cast a thaumaturgic spell to hunt her down. 

It’s also nice to hear from you that you also believe she has lost her memory. Up until now, I’ve only known that Mary claims that Nadiya has been experimenting on her, and that Nadiya claims that she’s lost her memory.  It does at least help clear up the truth of the situation. 

[she pulls out a notebook and writes that Mary has been actin erratically, prior to being kidnapped.]

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[Michael shuffles his feet, unsure what to do] So, um… anything I can help with? I would hate to just be a dead weight keeping you all behind… :/

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Hmmm… Do you have wings?

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[He widens his eyes, and blushes a little bit] Ah, well… technically, yes, but it’s… it’s been a while. I might be a bit clunky… and I’ve never actually shown them to any mortal before, or at least one who I have let live… Right, okay. Yes. Am I now on ‘transportation duty’? -///-

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[Her eyes flick up at him, just a little flame in them] Well gee, O Holy Knight, if they mean that much to you, I guess we can take horses and cross our fingers she’s still alive in a week. Irene, can you get me to her room so I can find some of her essence?

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!!! of course. (she leads you two down the hall opposite of the bathroom and is about to open a door) uh, sorry if this is being really rude, but… how do i know whether you’re actually here to help her? i mean, not that you’re not nice and all, but… how can i trust you two?

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[She considers this. Her first reaction was that it was a little rude but now was the time to stop and think.] Well, what could we stand to gain from lying? I suppose with some of her hair, or her name given freely from her own lips, we coupd do her harm, but that would require quite a bit of energy, and besides, it would be incredebly likely that if I wasn’t trustworthy I would be with the organization thays taken her.

Unless of course, I was with a third party. Although if a third party was trying to do her harm…. Look, I’d rather not spend energy on solving the hypothetical crime I’m committing. [She suddenly grows weary] In fact, how can I know I can trust you?

[whyisirenenervous]

i guess because i’m the one that you barged in on and not the other way around. i mean, ive been living with mary and nadiya and remy for months!! if i could show you i was kardala of my own free will i would, but our power isn’t a big fan of cooperation. anyway, you guys seem nice enough i guess. (she opens the door to mary’s room) really sorry about all that.. mary’s kinda paranoid about someone coming to get us and i guess that got to my head. well, she wasn’t half wrong, when you think about it :(

[whyismichaelsmiling]

[Michael shuffles behind them] H-hey, I didn’t say we couldn’t, okay? It’s just my first time, you know, and I’ve got performer’s anxiety… If you need me to – ahem, fly you to wherever you need, I suppose I can. Yes. Yep. Sorry. :’/

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[she squeezes her eyes shut, frustrated by his reluctance, and her paranoia.] No, It’s fine. Both of you. I shouldn’t have snapped at either of you. I just keep thinking about Mary, with those people, getting who knows what kind of drugs pumped into her, and who knows what experiments… [she visibly shudders] Y’all, I’m sorry if I’m being short with you, you don’t deserve that. I’m just trying to save a girl, alright? 

[whyismichaelsmiling]

You are all right... It's not something you would understand, it probably seems very simple to you, but it's complicated to -- nevermind. [He unties his apron and slips it off over his head.] Just tell me when... I don't want to ruin another good shirt. :/

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

@whyisirenenervous @whyismichaelsmiling 

Oh, Sorry ma’am, I didn’t… M-m-my name is Gandy Dancer, Wizard for hire. Do you know a Mary? Or a Nadiya, or Irene?

[whyisirenenervous]

…wait, did… i don’t… why… (she dusts herself off and stands up from her desk) yeah, i’m irene! that’s me. what do you need with me or my friends? wait, ignore that question. how the h*ck did you two get here? (she offers you a hand to help you stand up)

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Yeah I… Sorry, I’m still a little woozy. Do you have a bathroom? I’d really like to wipe my face off.

[whyisirenenervous]

oh! right!! i’m so sorry. down the hall, second door to your left. it should have a sign above it, if you need, i can show you. does, your friend, er, uh- michael, need any help?

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

Ask him, I really just need to… [She runs off to wipe herself down]

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Hrrrm… [He shakes his head and slowly gets up.] I think I’m getting too old for that. [He looks up] Oh! Hello! :’)

[whyisirenenervous]

so… uh…. pardon my rudeness, make yourself at home, but….. WHO ARE YOU GUYS??? and also why are you in my room

[whyismichaelsmiling]

Oh, it is a very long and convoluted story, which I will attempt to make short for you: A person got kidnapped in this deminsion, and in our deminsion, Gandy, the woman who just ran to your bathroom, got in contact with friends of the person here by means of a… a magical pelt, if I recall correctly? and asked me to help her cross the border of worlds with my ‘insanely cool magicks’, which I did, and now we are here for some reason, and now I am telling you what happened! Why your room, though, I don’t know… :/

[whyisirenenervous]

oh, boy. you’re looking for mary, right? :((( i haven’t seen her in days… but i guess i don’t get out as much as i used to, anyway. maybe there’s something tucked away in here that Karda- uh, my friend dragged back that influenced you two into teleporting here specifically. something that could help track her down? i don’t know. but it’s worth a shot i guess. 

or you could try to hunt down nadiya if you don’t need me, she’s good with this stuff :(

[whyisgandysellinghersoul-blog]

[Gandy has come back, and leans against the doorframe, wiping some tears away from her eyes. Throwing up suuuucks]

Michael’s mostly right, except I was using a book to talk to you all, not a pelt. I haven’t been able to talk to Nadiya. A woman named Kardala has agreed to help, but I’d need to find her too. 

[whyisirenenervous]

oh!!! thats… a little inconvenient. okay, in short, i’m kardala. this is a place where people get tested and experimented on to get all kinds of superpowers, and i’m one of them. it’s not really a power with me specifically, but every once in a while i turn into a hulking thunder goddess that i can hear in my brain sometimes. she says hi, by the way. :)
