Stardust!! I'm going to kill you~

[They very clearly did not mean to send this to everyone, but they've just remembered another form of telepathy and instinctually tried to default to it... and it has messed them up. Oops!!]

[Actual level of murderous intent: unclear...?]

[uhhhhhhhh]

Uhhhhhhhhh....

Huh, you good, Siffrin? Did something happen now?

This being the telepathic network probably just means there's a blob of ???????? and mild concern coming from Emmet's end, it's fine i don't have to write any real dialogue here yet ]

[followthescript]

[oh stars that is some very familiar murderous intent



but he shouldn't get his hopes up. It's probably something else!! He messed something up!! Classic stardust behaviour, teehee!!!]

Um... sorry! Haha, did I do something wrong? [radiating anxiety directly into the telenet sorry to everyone who has to deal with this]

[offtracks]

[ Yeah you know what he's just gonna co-sign that ]

[no_ufo_ending]

[ He's carrying a pail of water when suddenly--]

Hello!?

[loopsiedaisy]

[There is no choice but to bluster through it.]

Yes~?

[loopsiedaisy]

[It is starting to dawn on them what happened.]

[. . .]

[If Emmet (and Ingo) aren't saying anything then they aren't either! They're just going to pretend they didn't hear(?) anything!! This is fine!!!!]

[1/??]

[loopsiedaisy]

Did you - !!

[loopsiedaisy]

[If stardust was the first response here they totally would not have realized what happened and this would be continuing right out in front of everyone, but fortunately(??) that is not true.]

[One moment!]

[outbounds]

[ ... Shoves more intent ?????? + concern Siffrin's way. Some of it is probably even Ingo's that he's doubling up on. ]

[4/4] i'm keeping the thread here but pretend it's -> inbox

[loopsiedaisy]

When were you planning to tell me, stardust?

Were you enjoying yourself?? [Is that it?? A bit of payback??]

[They have literally zero right to be mad about this, all things considered, but is that going to stop them... (no)]

[loopsiedaisy]

[They absolutely hate this for themself.]

[They're getting a vague mental image from the other end of Henry carrying a pail of water...]

Don't worry about it, goggles!! Get back to your bucket~

[loopsiedaisy]

[they hear nothing absolutely nothing nothing is going on here!!!]

[But like. With a slightly larger tinge of desperation this time.]

[no_ufo_ending]

[ Henry whips around and buzzes his wings. WHAT. WHAT WHAT. WHERE. KILL. No...he doesn't need to do that here. No twisted flesh monsters are coming for him. There's just a voice...a somewhat familiar voice. ]

[ Henry blows out a breath and picks up the bucket he dropped. Luckily it just plunked straight down so not much water spilled out. ]

Where...?

[outbounds]

[ the concern gets magnified at that.

no, really, what did you expect. ]

[shotinhead]

[ 'man who is not involved but likes revenge a lot of the time' voice: ] Good on you.

[1/2] inbox 2: now located conveniently on your network post

[followthescript]

[help, they don't know what's happening, they haven't even used this pearl that much the idea of projecting their thoughts into everyone's heads seemed really unpleasant (it is!! confirmed!!) and now Siffrin is mad at them—

At least they seem to know what they're doing with it. Stardust is just along for the ride at this point.

His emotions are already a swirling mess, but... but what if they did remember? If they're acting like this, and getting this angry about it, then... what else could it be, but that?]

You... I...

[was he ever going to tell them?

was it fun, watching them believe in a lie? like everything could just go back to how it was?]

[1/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

[They are getting: also murderous intent?? And then confusion?]

[???]

[...]

[Wait, right, Henry's one of the new ones. Has he... never heard anything over the grumpearl before? If he wasn't hanging on to it when other messages went out...]

[2/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

[Tutorial Voice time:] It's called a grumpearl, goggles!

If you don't want to hear people talking you should just go ahead and toss it into the river!

[Siffrin(?) no]

[followthescript]

[When his emotions finally start to settle, it's just... guilt.]

You... seemed happy.

[... what else is there to say? All he did was ruin that for them.]

[no_ufo_ending]

[ Henry's long neck draws close to his body as he is just Delivered This Information. Grumpearl...oh he--he knows he has something with that name. ]

[ He sets the pail down and tugs open the little pouch hanging around his neck. It contains a few things--a couple of berries, an unlit candle, and the pearl. Henry holds it to an eye (since they are on opposite sides of his fucking head. yeah. still gettin used to THAT) and peers into it. ]

[ So where is the nearest river, he's thinking...]

[loopsiedaisy]

[They are just going to let this happen]

[no_ufo_ending]

[ Henry thinks about throwing the pearl into the water. ]

[ Henry thinks about the water prison, they grey lumps, the fungus, the giant two-headed baby monsters. ]

[ Henry closes his eyes. Be rational. Be normal. Calm down. ]

Don't try to kill me.
