We can have a proper discussion this time!

[ he sounds excited? no getting locked in! but there's still a rat here. ]

Oh, hello! Sorry, are we interrupting your meal?

[ yes. you are obviously interrupting. how can it possibly savor all the flavors of the Applebee's Spring Menu if you're all in here trying to discuss things with it?

Squeaking this. Explanatorily. ]

[ no, sweet rat, they all just arrived as a flash mob to have a town hall meeting. as one does for applebees. ]

It's nice to meet you too!

[ ENTHUSIASTIC PAW SHAKE ]

[ excuse me? this energy is way too much. keep your smooth shark skin to yourself. it squeaks and skitters along the bar away from him. ]

Oh! I don't know if this one is a member of Rat-Clan...

[ very these vibes for when viktor starts being a weirdo with his larping. i need to be clear he is chasing this fucking rat down. ]

Come back! We can still initiate you! Who are you?

[ it has no desire to be initiated it squeaks something like it thinks you really should have learned your lesson about cults you big dumb idiot ]

[ he doesn't speak rat

if this rat isn't 6' tall he's going to bite it if he catches it ]

[ it has the ego of a much bigger rat but it seems as if it is, alas, a regular sized rat that can merely bend the minds and wills of all other rats within the rat-hive-mind

it will leap off of the bar and scurry around on the floor so sidon looks like a fucking fool trying to catch it. ]

[ THE ONLY NORMAL SIZED RAT IN THE GRAVEYARD.

if he catches you he's going to put you in his mouth, ratnagon. THEN who's going to look stupid? that's right, BOTH of them. ]

[ sure he can put this rat in his mouth and its just going to squeak VIOLENTLY and ANGRILY it has never been more offended in its entire RAT LIFE ]

[ how fucked up would it be if he vored a rat at applebees on a friday

he's just going to carry it around in his teeth like a cat would but he'd probably deliver it to viktor anyway so we can merge the rat time continuums ]

[Even though it gives the big ouchies, he pats Sidon on the head for the rat and when he does so, another bubble appears with the words PATPAT! in it.]

[ yay thanks but also what the fuck. wipes off some gross rat fur from his mouth and stares. ]

Viktor, something is... happening.

There's a lot I don't understand in this place, but I also don't understand this!

[ANOTHER ONE APPEARS. It has a 💢 in it.]

Did someone... curse you?

[ IN THIS, THE HALLOWED NEUTRAL ZONE, APPLEBEES? ]

I wonder if we can curse our rat friend to see if it's a person.

Why...? Who cursed me?!

[HE SUFFERS SO MUCH HAND FOR WHAT! The bubble that appears has a THRUM word of doom in it.]

I'm pretty sure it's a person. [The rat is, like, right there.] I'm pretty sure that person is Lucien.
