Eighth Tentacle

[Hi, Mayfield! It's time for a Public Service Announcement from your friendly neighborhood cuttleman. He sounds kind of panicked (more than usual) and is tripping over his words (more than usual). This is because he's in stage four secret-spilling mode!]

So, um, everyone knows that Annie Goldstein -- you know, my friend, Annie Goldstein, the one w-

How tragic.

[cuttlefidget]

W-what, her going crazy the first time or me being useless or the face that she's p-probably going to murder me in a few minutes?

[ofoz]

All three of those things are very tragic. The second might not be true, and the last might be avoidable if you think fast though.

[cuttlefidget]

N-no, the second is definitely true. You d-don't know me. You'd figure it out p-pretty fast just spending time around me.

[sturmbahnfurher]

Mistletoe? My, I'd have never thought the weakness of Baldr would apply to their kind.

My thanks, though.

[cuttlefidget]

[HEY WHAT NO]

Wha-- hey! N-no, this isn't for you to use! It's only for emergencies!

[sturmbahnfurher]

How fortunate, then, that I don't intend to use it unless she decides to attack me again.

[cuttlefidget]

[So like... sometime in the next week HELLO THIS IS ANNIE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT]

O-oh well... um... I g-guess if it's self-defense...

[notsaul]

[hey danny boy what's that sound

that's the sound

of the phone crushing in her hand]

[cuttlefidget]

...U-um...

[oh no he should lock every door and window like, right now brb doing that]

[notsaul]

[So, her throat is still kinda recovering from having been broken by said Nazi motherfucker you just revealed her biggest secret to THANKS BRO, but she still manages to give off a scream of complete and utter anguish.]

TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK, YOU MOTHERFUCKER TAKE YOUR WORDS FUCKING BACK!

[cuttlefidget]

[HYSTERICAL YELLING PARTY YAY]

I CAN'T WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO S-SAY, "OH SORRY EVERYONE I WAS JUST KIDDING" ANNIE I C-CAN'T LIE I AM T-TERRIBLE AT LYING NOBODY WOULD B-BELIEVE THAT!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

I knew something was off about her.

Dude.

Now somebody, probably that fat Nazi motherfucker is gonna try and murder her now that you gave away her weakness.

[cuttlefidget]

I-I just... thought p-people should know since I c-can't do it like she asked me to and you probably could, I g-guess, since you like eating people so I guess killing people would be easy for you and I didn't mean to tell people that shouldn't know o-only I'm sh-shi-terrible at filtering!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

For the last time I wasn't going to eat you, I was just gonna bite you... a little bit...

Anyway, Annie is gonna be pissed at you when she finds out and somebody is gonna buy a fuckload of mistle toe to try and kill her.

[cuttlefidget]

That wasn't my intention! I j-just... I felt like everyone should know, I c-can't explain it, okay?

Also you were most definitely going to eat me. Like, all the way dead and eaten.

[how_right_i_am]

[Wait. She's heard of those before, but only in stories.]

Excuse me. What's a werewolf?

[cuttlefidget]

U-um... a person who turns into a wolf, usually when the f-full moon is out? Kind of s-standard folklore.

[how_right_i_am]

Just as I thought...

Can you tell me anything more? [She's, unfortunately, already writing down what Daniel just said.] About when she went crazy? [Normally, Lilly would lie, but...] A giant wolf monster murdered an ally of mine.

[cuttlefidget]

O-oh, um, no, not really? I don't know much about it, j-just that she asked me to do something if things g-got crazy again. Which I don't think I can do which is why I t-told everyone else j-just now. I think. I'm really not sure why I did that... it seemed like a g-good idea?
