Bell! You are all right?

[ichaichashoujo]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[spandexisyouth]

There are tigers? What is wrong with the water?

[ichaichashoujo]

This guy fell in the spring and turned into a tiger. It's no big deal.

[feathered_earth]

--Someone turned into a tiger?

[ichaichashoujo]

Yeah. A white tiger.

[feathered_earth]

Goodness. Well, at least you're okay, right?

[ichaichashoujo]

More or less, yeah.

[man_genius]

Bell! The hell. What happened to your journal?

...Is the Tiger code for something? ...Nevermind. It's probably perverted.

[ichaichashoujo]

It fell in the water. This is what happens when paper and ink get wet, Genius.

I wish. It's a literal tiger. Big cat. White with black stripes.

[man_genius]

I didn't think you were that clumsy, Ninja-man.

...For realsies? A real tiger took your pen--where the heck are you? Wilderness right?

[ichaichashoujo]

The tiger ran into me.

Wilderness, right.

[bloody_pens]

... huh?

[man_genius]

So eloquent today, Mr.Writer.

[bloody_pens]

Well, he didn't give me much to go off. WORK WITH ME HERE, PEOPLE.

[man_genius]

Well he's all wet right now. That's a start.

Dear God. You people have rubbed off on me.

[burntorangesky]

The Wilderness has water now?

[Pause]

Someone turned into a tiger?

[ichaichashoujo]

Springs, by the look of them.

Yes. Is this really all that unreadable?

[burntorangesky]

How strange. [Paaause. Someone's remembering the last time the Wilderness had any sort of body of water...] There are not any dead people in them, are there?

It is just a bit difficult to believe upon first read. How very odd... but you are alright?

[ichaichashoujo]

None I saw. [Although, presumably if a girl drowned in this spring, some dead people were in them at one time!]

I'm alive, uneaten, and not a tiger myself. I'm well enough.
