...I believe I may require assistance here.

[Indeed he will require assistance. Tenebrae has just returned from his kidnapping. The motive the Malnosso held behind his kidnapping? "Just how much can darkness stretch?"

Are you okay?

[is_watching_you]

I've had better.

[Considering the shape he's actually in right now? He's had much better.]

[thesun_itburns]

...Need the clinic?

[is_watching_you]

I doubt the clinic has what is needed to fix this.

[thesun_itburns]

[A pause, and then:] Where are you? I'll do what I can when I get there.

[is_watching_you]

The forest.

[thesun_itburns]

[So he's out looking for you. It doesn't take long; you smell different than a human.

And he's looking you over as he approaches. What would he see is wrong?]

[is_watching_you]

[Well, the ceiling currently isn't a ceiling cat, but basically a formless blob of darkness on the ground.]

[thesun_itburns]

[Wow. He has no idea how to address this.] Has this happened before?

[is_watching_you]

No.

It is likely because of the Malnosso.

[thesun_itburns]

[He hates being at loss for how to help, so he might seem a little awkward when he says:] ...How can I help?

[is_watching_you]

Returning me to House 20 will do nicely.

[thesun_itburns]

Is it possible for you to... condense a little? Enough that I could pick you up without any oozing.

[is_watching_you]

My word! I am doing the best I can simply to just hold this form! I assure you that there will be no "oozing" on my part.

[thesun_itburns]

Alright, sorry. [So he's gonna be scooping up the puddle of Tenebrae and heading off toward the right house.]

[is_watching_you]

...Thank you for your assistance.
