Hold on you two, let's not accuse anyone now. As far as we know, the strange magical book really could've just disappeared on its own. It feels like a bad time to get into conflict with the others. Whatever the book is about, it would be best if everyone is ready to face that together. Be it strange truths about the universe or some sort of quest, fighting each other would only make things harder.

The best thing to do would be to go to where it was last and try to find clues.

If it was stolen by someone and you find evidence, calmly ask why they did it and try to be understanding. These are still your friends and surely no one would take it without good reason.

"...I don't want anyone mad at me. I'll try to be calm, the last thing I need is more interpersonal conflict. I just... I just know it was stolen, okay?"

"Well, if it just appeared one day, who's to say it can't just disappear?"

"Me. I'm to say. Even if it did, we can still ask around. If someone had a good reason to take it, I'd want to know. "

“Binbus!”

“Binbus, I am so sorry to annoy you this early but it's really important and I don't know who else to come to and I really trust you and I just felt like I had to talk to you—”

“What's up?”

“The book's gone.

“What.”

“I don't know who would've stolen it but it has to be stolen because I don't MISPLACE things Binbus, that's not who I am.”

“You just woke up and it was gone? And you think it's stolen?”

“Yes. To both questions.”

“Well, I think we should ask…

“Okay. It feels mean, but let's go.”

“Okay Grils, why the commotion? And at this hour?”

“I figured out how to translate the book. I mean, I haven't looked at it or anything, but still! I've been writing a key for it.”

“We were planning on looking at it as a group.”

“But how can we see it for all the glow?”

“Oh! It's quite interesting, really, it only seems to glow for some of us. Veevee, Bleepo, and Tibbo. Maybe Furlo? Furlo, does it glow or not for you?”

“I don't believe in binaries. What do we think the book says?”

“Well, I wouldn't know.”

“Let's read it, then!”

“...maybe not at this hour?”

“Seconded.”

“I'm fine either way, though I am curious!”

“So, let's continue this tomorrow, then?”

“Let's.”

“When will you ever learn to take care of yourself?”

“...Why do you care so much? I have a job, and it's getting done.”

“Because I care about you, dumbass!”

Bleepo breathes heavily, like he didn't mean to say that. Or maybe, like he's been waiting for a long time to say it.

“How many years have we known each other now? For how long do I have to watch you just… throw parts of yourself away just because somebody asked you to do something?”

“Well, you keep asking me to do things. So let me do them.”

“...you're allowed to say no to me, y’know. Please learn how to say no to people.”

Okay they're calming down maybe. Which is great, because Binbus actually has no clue how to interpersonal relationship.

“...not to you. I can't say no to you.”

“...I'm not gonna keep arguing with you on this.”

“Okay. You're probably right, but I am going to, uh, get back to work.”

“...”

“...”

…

“OH MY GOD do NOT tell me it was that easy the WHOLE TIME.”

“Wait, what is it?”

“How did I not see this oh my god.”

Grilbo flaps his paws up and down excitedly.

“Okay, okay. Look. The symbols here, they actually seem to line up one to one to the Crittish on the translation the humans gave. I don't know how THE FUCK I didn't realize earlier, probably because of how… seperated this language seems.”

“Does that mean we can translate the other pages?”

Whatever this notebook says, it has to be important.

“I don't think that's a good idea.”

Bleepo speaks with a strange energy. It freaks you out.

“What? Bleep, you were all for it a minute ago.”

“Doesn't this stuff freak you out? If something knows us, if something’s stalking us, why would you want to know what it thinks?”

“Because I'm a nosy little rascal? Obviously.”

“All I'm saying is that this could be dangerous.”

“Knowing what it says won't hurt us, right?”

“It shouldn't. If it says anything, I want to know.”

why did I make these fellas so hard to draw in like. any pose

“Grilbo, you've been at this for a while now.”

“Yeah. And I have found nothing.”

“...Take a break, maybe? You're just getting frustrated.”

“No! No, no, I can’t. I feel like I'm so close to finding something, you're all counting on me. I… I have to prove it's worth it.”

“Grilbo, it HAS been hours.”

“It'll just take longer if I stop.”

“You really should. You can't just burn yourself out, it's not-”

“Oh, like YOU ever take breaks? Hypocrite.”

“This isn't about me! You're always like this.”

“All I'm saying is that you have no right to ask anything of me when you're always pulling the exact same shit.”

…This is…CLEARLY something personal between them. Maybe he should leave.

kicking my legs and thinking about the stupid little crittel alphabet i made up

[binbus-in-clovewatch]

“Can I ask why you wanted me for this?”

“You're everybody's friend… I don't want to feel like I'm working against Tibbo and whoever else is with her.”

“Me? Everyone knows Blombo's the friendly one.”

“That girl can't commit to anyone to save her life. You, you just… everybody likes you…”

“...”

“Anyway! The book! Whatever this script is, I've never seen it before. Gosh, I wouldn't even know where to start with it.”

“...so why the interest?”

“You're the one that arranged a whole group to go climb a tree about it.”

“...It was glowing. And in a tree that nobody’s ever really gone up before.”

“That's one thing I wanted to talk about! This book isn't glowing. For me, at least.”

“It's not?”

“It seems everyone perceives it differently. So! I'm collecting data.”

Grilbo opens one of his personal notebooks, and makes two columns.

“You write kinda slow.”

“...yeah. Maybe you should write instead?”

“Me? Binbus should write.”

Binbus takes the pen.

“Okay! So, Blombo, Grilbo, & I don't see it glow, Tibbo does, and you do too, right? So what about the others?”

“Veevee said it glows.”

“And Furlo?”

“Well, they said ‘glowing journal’ when they talked to me.”

“Wait! It seemed like it could read the pages earlier though. Well not read, but y’know.”

“... We'll have to ask them later.”

"Oh! Hello, everyone! Tibbo."

"What's your problem with me, Grils?"

"Me? I could ask you the same thing, ‘Tibs’."

"Hey, you know what you did."

"Do I? Anyway, what brings the entire town to my door?"

"We found this, uh, glowing journal? Nobody can read it, but one of the voices in our collective heads could decode it just fine. We're hoping you might be able to figure out the rest."

"Let me see that."

Grilbo flips through the pages for a few minutes.

"First of all, this thing's not glowing? Second, where did you get this?"

"Does it matter—"

"Y'know the big tree in Talewave Park? It was in there."

"This is… I think I need to work on decoding this."

"Do you think you can?"

"I have to, right? That's why everyone came to see me."

"I mean yes, but—"

"Blee, Binbus, can you stay and help with this? This is big. Could be big."

"Of course."
