[teamposts]

[You are ushered into a small cave. Once you're there, bars drop down in front of the entrance. You can't see any of the other teams, but you can still speak to Dragon.]

[ Well it is not like I would say no to stabbings. ]

[fishpanties]

[You're a bro.]

There. Done.

[pedigreedwolf]

[ EARS AND TAIL ARE ALSO OUT since he's being tense and watchful anyway. ]

Right...

[fishpanties]

. . . Ah. Somebody not-so-hypothetically stole our sugar and butter.

[pedigreedwolf]

... How the hell do we make it now?

[fishpanties]

It'd be hard to mistake vanilla-flavored food coloring for frosting . . .

We could ask him to steal from another team.

[pedigreedwolf]

Thought you wanted to avoid that.

[fishpanties]

[Trying not to hide just how agitated and nervous she is, but . . . shifting her weight and glancing away.]

. . . Mm. If we can.

[pedigreedwolf]

We just need our stuff back though to make what we gotta make, so we can just try for that?

[fishpanties]

[Nods.]

That's what I'm going to ask.

[pedigreedwolf]

[ I will just hover impatiently then. ]

[fishpanties]

Hey . . . are there any teams you wouldn't want to steal from, even if they have what we need?

[pedigreedwolf]

Huh? ... Nah, not really, I guess? Teal's the most important in the end, right?

[fishpanties]

Mm . . . I have a few teams I'd rather not touch if we can help it. Byzantium, Celeste, Lilac, Sage, and Canary.

[. . .]

[ducks her head.]

Maybe that's more than a few.

[pedigreedwolf]

... What teams does that leave left...?

[fishpanties]

Cardinal, Fawn, Saffron, and Shell.

[pedigreedwolf]

Don't know anyone on any of those teams... so might as well go for it I guess.

[fishpanties]

If they're not the ones who stole from us, we're a little stuck.

[pedigreedwolf]

Do you think it was one of the teams you do like that coulda done it?

[fishpanties]

Maybe.

I'm not going to ask who it was.

[pedigreedwolf]

What? Why not?

[fishpanties]

This place is hard enough already without thoughts about revenge, right?

[pedigreedwolf]

It's not revenge if we're just getting our stuff back!

[fishpanties]

[AND THEN THE DRAGON TOLD ME THINGS.]

. . . It looks like that's not possible, anyway.

And we lost our vanilla.

[T-Trying . . . really, really hard to stay calm.]

[pedigreedwolf]

Someone's takin' advantage of us, and it doesn't look like just one person.
