Has anyone seen any sign of those Grues or black dandelion puffs or whatever you want to call them or anything they've possessed at all today?

I haven't seen any sign of them since Monday...

Sorry, I'm guessing this is another thing that I don't understand because I tuned in late, but...what is a Grue?

[shiromadoushi]

Those black puffy things that have been possessing things and making them look freakish.

1/2

[wordsgate]

Hm. I don't think I've seen anything like that.

[wordsgate]

Wait. Does that have anything to do with the rumors about the weird animals?

[scramasax]

I haven't.

But why "Grues"?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Heeee could give a proper answer, buuut...]]

'The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.'

I only saw them out of an animal once. -Did- light seem to bother them?

[And ohh, before you go teasing, he did go "...Ohh of course it's a reference" at that... The fact that it doesn't occur to him that this question is doubtfully even relevant now is much better fuel.]

..."Grues".

[ Bakura what. What are you doing. Seriously. ]

[ text; cellphone ]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Seriously, do none of you people play games at all?]]

Yes. Never heard of them before?

[secondcomingof]

I've heard of them, yes.

I'm not sure it's the term I would've used here.

Haven't seen them around, or the weird animals, either.

[Does this mean they don't have to worry about that anymore?]

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Good.

Maybe that means we've gotten rid of them all.

[audio]

[northless]

Or maybe this is some kind of strategic retreat.

[withregret]

I haven't noticed them lately, no.

I haven't heard anything either.

[shiromadoushi]

Good. The more people who don't see any sign of them, the better chance that they are all gone.

[reapsthewind]

Nope.

Makes me uneasy. I don't think we've seen the last of this. Too much strangeness is happening.

[[For Chris, he swaps to regular ole phone mode]]

Feels like we just finished the tutorial phase in a game. The event that kicks off the adventure, the first group of enemies that you can screw up all you want without much worry...

We just have to be on the lookout for the real deal when it hits.

[argents]

The birds with the fingers haven't been outside my window, either. Or the squirrels. What do you think it was?

[shiromadoushi]

Did you see those black fuzzy things? Those were what was mutating them. And a group of us killed a lot of those Monday.

I hope this means we got all of them...

I suppose calling them dandelion sprites is a bit silly. Though they really do not seem dangerous enough to be grues.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Oh hey. Points for you, sensei~]]

You didn't get to see a wave of them come together.

That and anything that can possess something else is far more dangerous than a flower.

text, computer

[iaijutsu]

I haven't seen any since we dealt with them, either, but I'm reluctant to assume that we got all of them.

[shiromadoushi]

It is a bit optimistic, yeah. But we did get a lot of them.

You were one of the ones there?

[dorkytracksuit]

Haven't seen them, and after what happened at that little meet up, I really don't want to.

[shiromadoushi]

Same. I'm hoping we got them all. Or at least enough of them that the rest have run away.
