On your way to Badger after 'dying' and coming back, as Buraddo mun says, at least, Morning Angel approaches, stopping you both in your tracks. He clears his throat. "We were hoping to see Badger. Quickly, it's really important!" Both of you try to rush in, but he stops you again. "What's so important that you don't need to tell me?" he growls. "Abdomen pain! Bad abdomen pain! Let us through, please!" Buraddo mun shouts. Morning angel dropped the growl and sighed. He side-stepped out of the way. "Fine. I'm watching you, though." he wasn't lying, he was following you and staring very intensely. You arrive at Badger's den, flicking your tail as Badger approached, smiling. "Hey, it's you again! How is the pack? I'm really hoping they've been nice to you." 'nice'. yeah, right. As if anybody in this pack was 'nice'. "Actually, we're here because (YWN) is having abdomen pain again. We were running to find the missing pups, which I'll discuss afterwards, and then he/she lost control and went flying into a log, and, well, I don't know how, but his/her heart stopped beating for a while, and then he/she got up again after, saying that a voice was speaking to them, claiming itself to be the 'virus'." Buraddo mun blurted out. Badger's eyes widened, as she pinned her ears back. "Shit, shitshitshitshitshitshit..That is NOT good AT ALL. Uhm, Morning Angel, leave the room. This is a private discussion between me and these two." she turned serious as Morning Angel huffed, leaving the room. Badger stared at you. "Was the voice crooked? Like a beast of legend croaking a million times but all at once?" she straightened her tail. You nod, and she facepaws, grumbling. "For god's sake, it's him.. I'm afraid to tell you that.. the virus.. he's not going to leave unless you chop off a limb." 'JOEGBW--WHAT?! CHOP OFF A GODDAMN LIMB?! THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?!' you think to yourself as she winces at your terrified expression. "Well uhm, there IS another way around it, which is chopping it off and then sowing it back on with arcane magic, but Tanken isn't experienced enough to use his magic correctly yet.." Tanken must be that wolf mage wearing the robe, dressed all magic-y with his essence-made necklace. "Even if it's temporarily, I don't feel like chopping off a limb. No thanks." you mutter. Badger exhaled. "It's the only way to get rid of him. It's either your leg, your arm, or the whole coniferous forest and beyond going down." She whimpered as you lower your head slowly, wishing you'd never have stopped at this pack now. Buraddo mun looks over her shoulder at you. Tanken suddenly burst into the room, stumbling around before tripping and faceplanting with a smack into the stone floor. "Ow--!" he yelped. Embarrassed. Tanken got up, looking your way. "I overheard something about sowing a limb back on with arcane magic. I can do it! You saw me stitch that hare back together, right? He was just fine." Morning Angel chased Tanken into the room. "You gotta get out, Tanken. Badger's got her paws full." he snarled. Badger looked down at Tanken, before dismissing Morning Angel. He left again with a growl. "Tanken, yes, you stitched a hare back together, but this is another wolf we're talking about. If you mess up, he permanently loses his/her limb." she whimpered "Still! I can practice! Please?" he begged, looking at you desperately, before looking back at Badger. ARGH, those eyes are irresistible. Too irresistible. Wait, is he using magic to alter your thoughts? "Fine, he can try to stitch my arm back on once you saw it off, but if it fails then he's in big trouble. And he BETTER practice first. " You blurt out. Did you just tell a pack leader that you're going to let a inexperienced mage practice stitching arms back on with magic on you? "Wԋαƚ ƚԋҽ ԋҽʅʅ αɾҽ ყσυ ԃσιɳɠ, ϝσσʅ?! Yσυ'ɾҽ ɠσιɳɠ ƚσ ƙιʅʅ υʂ Ⴆσƚԋ!" the voice returned, sounding more worried as everything went black again. Oh great. "I didn't know I'd be talking to the devil again." you growl. "ᎴᏋᏉᎥᏝ? ᏁᎧ, Ꭵ'Ꮇ ᏕᎥᎷᎮᏝᎩ ᎩᎧᏬᏒ ፈᎧᎷᎮᏗᏁᎥᎧᏁ" Companion? COMPANION? HE'S NO DAMN COMPANION!
"Listen, buddy. I'm getting rid of you whether you like it or not, and you're going to deal the f~~~ with it." you growl. Two red eyes and a toothy, reddish-yellow smile greet you, as it began to laugh. "ຟē'll Şēē ค๖໐นt thคt, f໐໐l. I ຟill คlຟคฯŞ rētนrຖ, ຖ໐ ๓คttēr ຟhคt ฯ໐น Şคฯ." the black dissipates from around you, and you're on the ground again, as Badger, Buraddo mun, and Tanken tower over you with worry. "The hell just happened?! Are you okay?!" Badger yelped. "That's what I'm talking about. He/she randomly passes out, and I'm assuming you heard the voice again?" Buraddo mun looks down at your face. "Yeah, I heard it again. He's worried about me chopping off my arm, probably because he doesn't want to leave from my body." you mutter, standing as you wobble and the three back up. "Anyways, when does the 'surgery' start? I wanna be prepared for when my arm's going to be sawed off and then re-attached using raw magic." you bark, stabilizing yourself. "Uhm, it starts the day after tomorrow. I recommend you eat some Vilosia berries (numbing medicine for wolves) before we start because it's going to hurt like hell." Badger shakes her pelt, looking down at Tanken who was exploding with excitement, ready to be a 'surgeon'. "Er, I will. I'm gonna go rest now, that took a lot out of me." you nod, anxiously padding back to your den. Why the hell would you agree to this?!
