[ Harley’s looking a little wild-eyed and worse for wear. But, for once, she doesn’t have white grease paint all over her face and is wearing a somewhat normal looking out. Red and black still, but at least it’s not a harlequin costume. ]

I got hit in the noggin’ with a rock or something. And now this whole talking telepathically to the babies thing is on the fritz. Which is why, of course, that’s when Bud decided to take off after a squirrel.

If you see him, he’s...

[ The camera flips and blurs, then refocuses on a hyena wearing a green, spiked collar. ]

He looks exactly like this. Smile, Lou!

[ Lou’s expression doesn’t change from Bored Out Of His Mind. And Harley’s voice goes from a little stressed out to an outright screech. ]

I SAID SMILE, LOUIS!

[ Which only gets a snort out of Lou as he puts his chin down on his paws. The camera goes swings back to Harley who’s pretty obviously forcing a smile. ]

Anyway. If you see him, don’t freak out. He just ate so he shouldn’t be hungry. Probably. Maybe.

Then again it wouldn’t be a horrible idea to walk around with a leg of lamb just in case I don’t find him before dinner time.

So I've... well. I seem to have been roped into another job, with neither warning nor explanation, and I'm left with no... ethical way to quit, I suppose. At least, I don't think I'd be able to tolerate the consequences, if I tried.

[ Ruka doesn't post often, and when she does it's usually either about the fucking apocalypse, or some vaguely maudlin waxing about the passage of time. This is definitely not the former, but it doesn't sound much like the latter, either. She trails off and rephrases as she speaks; there's no noise or sign of anything going on in the background, but her voice is airy, distant — easily distracted. ]

It's nothing I have experience with, but we come from all types, don't we. So, do any of you have much experience working with charities? Charitable foundations, maybe. Less, uh, the voluntary fieldwork stuff, more the... resources, and financials. Organization. The gears of the machine. If you will.

... Thanks in advance.

Stay safe out there.

22. A Sad-dle State Of Affairs

[continuousgroaning]

[There's a brief video clip posted to the network, which is mostly air and hay-filled ground, along with some of the mysterious rocks that have fallen from the sky, and the sound of loud, happy whinnying. Then, there's a glimpse of a horse- Jake, to anyone who's familiar with Tina's precious hoof child- except he's not a miniature pony any more. He's quite large. And... is that... is his neck stretching?

Some of us were brought here with our own powers, some were granted them by this place. It's been a conversation that I've had on multiple occasions since being brought here. I'm interested in knowing whether any power has changed -- if someone that was brought here with their own power lost it or it was altered in some way.

( that specific question she's asked someone already but considering what has happened to her magic recently she may be thinking about it a little more )
