@PunishingDean Excellent-

Now, for Cheddar to put on her flawless Simmons disguise-

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Waitaminutewho'stha-

...

...

They won't be sidetracked so easily! Cheddar can handle her administrative duties for half the day. Just long enough for her to get a nice long nap in.

...

And also tell the mice who Sae is and where they can find her.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Or maybe it's an insomnia-induced hallucination and it's not Brie at all!

Simmons should double check, to make sure.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Uh huh. They don't throw anything away if it's not theirs.

Here it is!

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Cheddar has to pull out the Chest Manifest and check. Let's see..

Paper money

Paper money

Paper money

Paper money

Paper money

....

This might take a bit- 💧

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Oh!

Something new!

"Cargo Manifest".

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@MausCleaning "Was there anything in the chest besides money?"

She suspects if it had shinies.....

Well the mice tend to take those.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Cheddar has to check the log.

Flip.

Flip.

Flipflipflipflipflipflip-

Uh... probably since the mice came here, at least.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Cheddar looks at her like it's a silly question.

"We took an inventory when we moved in, and then once a month, every month."

Nods all around. Inventory Day is a good day.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Cheddar, Gruyere, Gouda, Emmental, Mazzy, and Mozzy scurry up the stairs to the attic.

𝙒𝙃𝙐𝙈𝙋

𝙒𝙃𝙐𝙈𝙋

𝙒𝙃𝙐𝙈𝙋

Heavy thudding down the stairs. Eventually, the mice manage to drag a huge chest into the room! It looks very old.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Feta is adept at this maneuver. She will go around and assist. Whispering in Squeakish abounds.

A raised hand from Cheddar.

"So, does your bank account also include the big crate of paper slips in the attic?"

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean A raised hand from the mice. It's Emmental.

"So wait. The paper slips aren't actually worth anything? You all just agree that they're worth something?"

A mouse loudly drinks their juice carton.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean This seems like a scam. Or a trick to play on gullible mice.

...

They really don't do anything with the paper slips? The mice assumed they like, turned them into food or something. They just sit in a room?!

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean The mice have noticed. They assigned a mouse to make sure she doesn't run out of paper trade slips.

Gouda is on the case!

...
...
...

What's a "bank account"?

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@TheMilfOfMilk Nooooo, have mercy on her! Don't banish her to etern-

...

...

She's actually okay with this.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean She requires a small room in which to brew her potions and store her spooky materials.

Would Simmons have a preference as to whether she chooses an already existing one or conjures one up?

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean Colby has a question.

Also a spooky witch hat that wasn't there before, but that's less important.

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@TheMilfOfMilk She demands to be released!

[𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐂𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 @MausCleaning]

@PunishingDean No picking them up?!

...

...

Ricotta tried it and she got hissed at.

These rules seem reasonable.
