💛🔔: “At first, we were scared. Hopeless. Waiting for the terror and agony to consume us.”

💛🔔: “Bellhart wasn’t safe.”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri gave a proud huff, pleased with herself.]

💊🍃: “I’ll do that when I can. The council is hosting a meeting soon. It’s serious… but don’t worry, you don’t have to come!”

[The mantis said, visibly not too pleased about having to attend the meeting herself.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

[The area was busy, bugs with things to do and friends to talk to. A few gave the silken creature a glance but continued on with their own tasks.]

[Then a mantis showed up.]

💊🍃: “I’m guessing you’re new?”

[The mantis asked, her antenna twitching in curiosity.]

[「 ✦ ╏ 𝓢𝓲𝓵𝓴𝓮𝓷 𝓟𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓶 ╏ ✦ 」 @Imperfect_Silk]

@ChainedApostate " Ah - ? "

[ They, from the sudden fast movement- let go. Being left alone in the middle of town... You know what ? They decided to sit down on the bench and wait. That could be a nice thing. ]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “Just since… Cisi is a bit of a dick? He’s not the nicest.”

[Iri shrugged, rubbing her antenna.]

💊🍃: “But I’m sure it’ll be sorted out eventually, Bellhart will see that Mrs. Atla is good. She always has been.”

💊🍃: “But I’ll make sure to get that music for you!”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Cisi looked like he wanted to argue, but the rest of the foraging crew called the Verdanir over and he obliged.]

[Iri huffed as the bug vanished, shaking her head.]

💊🍃: “Honestly… that bug ought to learn some manners.”

[She turned to Moire.]

💊🍃: “You okay?”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Cisi narrowed his eyes.]

🏹💨: “Where’s the other one? Don’t tell me you let it in here! You know what could happen??”

[The bug snapped, but Iri pushed him back.]

💊🍃: “Oh piss off Cisi, stop saying Mrs. Atla is a monster! She did nothing wrong!”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@SublimeHusk 🗡️🍄: “WAAAA, WA WAAA!”
(Beings from Hallownest AND Pharloom!)

🗡️🔵: “Yeah! And they’re great at their jobs! Once we tell them what you’re doing, they’re gonna kick you heavy backside into next season!”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

🗡️🔵: “What in the void?! I swear I’m gonna get those good for nothing nobles!”

🗡️🍄: “WA! WA WA WA! WAAA!”
(Those bugs have no right to infringe on our homelands!)

[Gourmand @SublimeHusk]

The first harvest seems plentiful, though the Golden One wishes for far more than this.

They must expand immediately.

That means that more of the Fungal Wastes must be taken...

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri gave a confident nod and made a mental note to pester Old Penitent about it later. She opened her mouth to speak when—]

🏹💨: “YOU!”

[An annoyingly familiar voice called out. Cisi stood there, clearly agitated.]

🏹💨: “How did you get in?!”

[The bug glared at Moire.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri gave a nod of understanding, before her face scrunched in thought.]

💊🍃: “I know Mrs Atla had lots of scrolls… maybe I can ask the council of any of them are music related?”

[She offered, she seemed genuine.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “Ooo, nice. What type of music did you play?”

[Iri asked, her antenna twitching on occasion as she gave Moire the space to just talk. Or exist in general.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri noticed, duh she was a nurse, and subtly softened her posture. Took the static energy out of it. Calmed. Relaxed.]

💊🍃: “Uh huh”

[The mantis said, giving Moire a bit more space. Don’t wanna crowd someone after all. But she was listening. Antenna perked.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “But what about you? I’ve been talking enough.”

[The mantis asked, she seemed genuinely interested. Putting her chin on her claw and looking at Moire.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri hummed, her antenna swishing as she continue to blabber on.]

💊🍃: “Mhm! It’s soooo nice, way nicer than Hallownest was. Although… Mrs. Atla is a bit awkward. I don’t think she gets social cues.”

[Iri sighed, before looking at Moire.]

[+]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri nodded along. Finally, a bug who got it!]

💊🍃: “Exactly! There are a few of us who still think Mrs. Atla is good. Because she is! What ‘evil’ bug spends weeks making a hospital, bellhomes, a PARK everything in-between for a town?”

[Iri rambled, clearly annoyed.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “And THEN he gets everyone else to fear monger so now nearly all the bugs here think the weaver is a monster! Honestly… I wanna punch his stupid face.”

[She paused, before looking at them.]

💊🍃: “Sorry… just passionate.”

[Iri said, not ashamed just… acknowledging it]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk [Iri nodded, she was listening but… it was clear the mantis was a bit of a gossip. But every bug is different I suppose.]

💊🍃: “Oh he’s this Verdanir who started going around saying the weaver who built this place was evil all along. Like hello? That’s so rude!”

[+]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “Aww, thanks! How come you came to Bellhart anyway? Oh and make sure you don’t talk to Cisi, that guy is SO full of it…”

[Iri said, seemingly not minding how awkward Moire was. She herself seemed… very talkative. But maybe that was a good thing.]

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@Imperfect_Silk 💊🍃: “Cool cool. Did you get in via the security system? I didn’t see any mention of a new bug come up on the hospital system… eh, maybe it’s bugging.”

[She shrugged, sitting down as well.]

“Oh right. I’m Iri, and you are…?”

[Bellhart Awakened @BellhartAwaken]

@AFatesString [Cisi nodded. And turned to leave.]

🏹💨: “Shellwood is off-limits. Under no circumstances can you enter. If you do then…”

[He stared at the bell home door.]

🏹💨: “Pray she remembers anything.”

[The door closed with a metallic ‘clang’.]
