yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

know anyone that's over 21?

[He could. But it's more fun to make her work for it. And also there are still cops on this network.]

[meowbel]

I don't think so. You know anyone who might be willing to help out?

Or maybe someone with some kind of mindreading powers to convince the owner to give us some. Kind of like that one scene from that sci-fi movie!

[darkinferno]

mindreading powers? you might have to put out a call for that

watch out though there are cops on this network

you don't want them coming down on your head

[Mabel...]

[meowbel]

Don't worry, I'm not going to get into that much trouble!

If worse comes to worse, I'll just draw you a picture of vodka instead! That still counts!

[darkinferno]

that definitely doesn't count

[Okay, okay. He's just. Going to have to take matters into his own hands, isn't he?]

look you know hollingberry field? check there

apparently there's an alcohol tree there on the north side of the park, the one that's got a blue plastic strip coming out of the branch

[He's agreed to meet up with her if she comes up with something edible, not beforehand! But given that Mabel seems like she's more liable than not to get herself in trouble trying to get her hands on some alcohol, he can... probably help her out on that front DANTE DON'T BUY ALCOHOL FOR A 14-YEAR-OLD?!?!?!

So if Mabel goes to check it out, later that night he's going to leave a canvas bag with a bottle of gin and a bottle of unflavored vodka at the base of a large oak tree, tucked among the roots. Sure enough, like he's described, there's a section on the lowest hanging branch where somebody years ago had tied a strip of heavy-duty blue plastic around the branch and the bark has grown over it, leaving it to sprout from the branch like a prosthetic twig.

Why this, Dante.]

[meowbel]

[Dante, what are you doing? But indeed, later that night, Mabel would have gone to check it out.

She'll have no idea what's going on but it'll be a good way to make some new friends on this network thing, right? Granted, she'll be wondering how Dante knows all of this and why it seemed to be so oddly specific but until then....?

She just want to make some friends!]

Whoa, you can do it? You've got some really serious connections, don't you?

[darkinferno]

i don't know what you're talking about, i don't have anything to do with the tree

i've just heard from other people what it does

[meowbel]

[ . . . ]

If you say so.

But I'm onto you, mister! I've got my eyes lazer focused on you! Don't think I'm going to look away anytime soon!

[darkinferno]

[WAVES IT ALL AWAY IT'S FINE IT'S NO BIG DEAL]

sounds like a challenge if you ask me

blink and you'll miss it

[meowbel]

[HMMMM...!]

Then will it be a challenge you accept? Because I know I'll keep my eyes on you no matter what from now on!

[darkinferno]

well now you've got me second-guessing that

do you have your eyes on me right now

[meowbel]

Yes! I'm looking at you through this app so it counts!

[darkinferno]

all right, good

watch closely now

[Aaaaaaaaand that's gonna be it from Dante. SORRY MABEL YOU JUST GAVE HIM THE EASIEST POSSIBLE WAY TO TROLL YOU.......... this was a mistake]
