I warned you about it.

I warned you that Emmet is... sometimes holding a mysterious box, offering it to you. What's going to happen when you touch it?

You want to get paid, don't you? You signed up to be a test subject, which means you signed up to be useful.

Sure, Faergi CAN do the whole stereotypical shaman shtick where he's spooky and strange and full of ominous portents, but that's not really his "deal", you know? He's a regular guy underneath that getup.

Some of you really need to get your numbers up.

Jeremy’s first day at his new job was spent touring the construction site, being introduced to the members of the crew and coming to terms with ill-fitting headgear.

Chuck’s confident that will get sorted out. They got plenty-a hard hats.

Gift sketches of Maurice and Emmet by @hermux.bsky.social!

I wonder if Emmet uses Maurice as a test subject as a way of knocking him down a peg. That ram's got a head full of hair AND horns! Meanwhile you can see tumbleweeds blowing across Emmet's bald noggin.

He and the wooly rhino are named something like Moli and Miri.

I might even put them on the same ref sheet.

Henry (my ankylosaur) also has a mount: his patient lambeosaurus steed Tildy.

Cricket got his own ref sheet because Henry loses Tildy early in his story (by being shunted to another dimension entirely, where he rides a motorcycle instead). Cricket sticks around.

Same artist.

You know, I've always felt that tardigrades are basically spider wombats (in a non-phylogenetic sense)

I'm partial to octopuses myself, when it comes to walking on many legs.

I take the eldritch Pikachus you emit very seriously.

And meanwhile you can meet Maurice, Emmet's *other* favorite customer.

In his case it's because he does NOT know what he wants and is willing to have his needs explained to him. The poor gullible guy doesn't even realize he's slowly turning into a badger.

She has an unusual number of passports and her address is an abandoned warehouse down by the marshes.

But when you're given a briefcase with *that much cash* in it, you build whatever she says. Just don't ask what the scuba gear and detonator are for.

Would you believe Theia is Mina's sister?

You will.

Unlike some people we won't mention, Chuck builds *real* things: schools and hospitals and apartment buildings. Those things can't fall down because he was careless or inattentive.

No one thanks him for it. But that's just how things go.

Some types of people... it's better to just let them think they're in charge and go on with your day.

Alexander doesn't actually want to take *responsibility* for what happens on this vessel. Just tell him he's a very good and fierce pirate and stay clear of him.

Computer, can I get a printout of Emmet smiling?

You know, something tells me that Zeke is not quite the outdoorsman he makes himself out to be.

Going camping with his partner without appropriate gear during the wet season, getting soaked, thus being forced to head back to the cabin to warm up?

Just crazy.

"When I stroke the mustache thusly, do I not appear more... intellectual?"

Sure you do, ferret. Now PLEASE get back to work.

I hope you'll be ready to see five different character ref sheets. Because you don't have a choice in the matter.

I mean, unless you block or mute me, but you... surely wouldn't do that.
