[The result is, predictably, instantaneous. His ears perk up and he scampers to his feet, eager for more snacks and attention! Woof woof]

[softlyfalling]

[ it feels

a little uncomfortable to not really let him have time to sit with his sadness like this, but also

she hates seeing people suffer and the important thing is that the situation is under control!!!! it's fine!!!!! ]

There, there you go. More jerky?

We'll have you back to having thumbs in no time.

[sounds like something fun for you guys to discuss in the future!]

Ah, that's right, I brought something, too —

[he reaches into his bag and pulls out a tupperware]

I've been trying to teach myself how to cook, and I attempted teriyaki salmon today. It came out... pretty okay, I think! I had a lot of leftovers so I brought some in case you guys wanted some.

Sorry it's nothing special. It was just the first thing I thought of when I was leaving the dorm.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Food in plastic box... the griffin nudges it with his snout while it's still in Cobalt's hands, curious and eager. Give food.]

[softlyfalling]

[ we're all fine here on avante en garde ]

Oh, I mean, it's definitely appreciated... thank you for coming on such short notice. We've got another new member, too, so it's been... a lot.

[we_meet_again]

[He opens the tupperware and, after a moment's hesitation, puts it on the...floor? Is this acceptable?? Is this rude? He doesn't know.

Anyway, Cobalt's not the best chef in the world. The salmon is a little overdone, and has fallen apart into flaky chunks, slathered in teriyaki sauce. It certainly doesn't look amazing, but it tastes okay...?]

The newbie who Griffin threw into a table, or another one?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[There could literally be garbage in that tupperware container and the griffin would still devour it. As it is, he is lovin this fish.

Nom nom nom, is he purring?]

[softlyfalling]

[ pat pat pat pat pat ]

Another one... they gave us a day between, I suppose. He's quieter; seems like a good sort. I think he might have known someone who's been on our team in the past...?

[we_meet_again]

[is he purring? amazing]

Oh really? Who?

[softlyfalling]

Ah... I'm not really sure, since I think it was before my time—Gold and Nemesis remarked on it. Nemesis said someone on BAD END?

[ she sits crouched next to the griffin, studying him. ]

Wish I knew what exactly set him off. Even with the game making his temper worse, it's not like it just comes from nowhere.

[we_meet_again]

[Hm. Wonder who it might have been.]

Maybe we could ask him?

[he digs around in his bag for a moment and produces a vial of liquid]

AlcheME makes a potion that lets people speak when transformed. I told Griffin I'd bring him some, but I got distracted with the game and forgot until you texted me.

What do you think, Griffin? Wanna try?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[The griffin's ears perk up again, zoning in on the potion like it was another tasty snack. He licks his lips of the teriyaki sauce and sniffs at the vial.]

[softlyfalling]

[ this is either going to be super useful or very very weird.

let's try it. ]

I guess there's probably no harm...?

[we_meet_again]

[probably the latter. yolo]

I had some for my last transformation and I found it very helpful, personally.

[he uncorks it and holds it out at an angle so Griffin can drink it.]

Here you go.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[The griffin immediately starts to lap up the potion, like guzzling from a feeder. It only lasts a second or two, and then he's sloppily licking his jaws.

In a voice that was... distinctly demonic - there was a hint of Griffin, but distorted, almost reverberating - it does speak.]

Taste ssstrange. More meat.

[softlyfalling]

[ ok yeah it's going to be weird

this is definitely going to wig out the newbies but guess this is just Happening. she digs in the bag for more jerky. ]

Here you go?

[we_meet_again]

How are you doing? Is the Cloud Nine okay? Or would you prefer I turn it off?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Ooh, jerky. As he gnaws,]

This is good. Now I'll have what's mine, even if I have to hunt for him.

[softlyfalling]

[ wow ok this is actually. very unsettling. ]

...I don't think you have to go that far. I don't know what he said, but... I'm sure a little time won't hurt.

[we_meet_again]

[looking between Griffin and Shrike. He has no idea what they're talking about.]

...Who?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[The fact that he's punctuating this by tearing into strips of dried meat makes it even more implicitly threatening?]

No. The one with burnt hands needs to know he's mine.

He WILL acknowledge me.

[softlyfalling]

[ uH ]

That's, uh... I think, Jay is, er...

[ ALARMED FACE AT COBALT this does not seem. great, actually.

this seems like it could be problems. ]

[we_meet_again]

[looks at Shrike and ... gives a small shrug? This is spooky and all but as long as he's just hanging out eating jerky it's probably fine.]

[to Griffin:]

I'm sure he will. He's yours, after all. [apparently]

What do you want to eat next?

[gigadevilbreaker]

I want to drag the Burnt One back.

[A pause]

And spaghetti.

[softlyfalling]

Ahaha, well, we can definitely make spaghetti happen...

...Cobalt can you come with me and help me look for. The spaghetti.
