A crew's on the hunt for capture creatures!!!! This group couldn't find the ancient thornhead, but whatever, it wasn't that cool anyway! Checking around, they saw signs of a few creatures!

The first were some weird paintbrush markings on the trees; seems someone's been up to some tricky painting.

The second was a path to some sort of abandoned restaurant! Huh....What's that doing all the way out here?

The third one led into a hot cave. The markings leading towards it look like someone burned into the trees.....

The last one led to a weird sorting room. Not sure why that's there, but hohuns were eating outside of it.

"Okay guys, we gotta stay focused. I think the one with the painting sounds fun! What do you think?"
"Oh me oh my!! Look at those suuuper adorbz paintin skills! Let's go that way!!"
"Oh my gosh! Look at the widdle paintstrokes... They're so cute!"

"I think that sounds good to me!" Brown Sugar chimed.
"Well let's all go follow the paint marks!" Strawberry leads the way with Champ by her side!

Strawberry Mocha's crew run forth, following the swirling paint marks. They came to a clearing in the woods, where they spotted two creatures, and a... person?

"Uh, hello? We're looking for a little numbskull?"

A LEGENDARY NUMBSKULL HAS APPEARED!
This one loves painting, even if it's bad at doing so! It's ok, we can all learn together!

A LEGENDARY DAN'GERSIGN HAS APPEARED!
This creature loves painting, and is really good at it! Don't be scared! We can learn together.

"I'm not the most good with my hands. I've never been good with art... But I'd love to learn."
"Hey now. We came for the animals, not the creepy guy's art lessons. What if he kidnaps us while we make macaroni art?"
"I mean he did say be not afraid. He sounds safe."
"Don't be mean to him. You can't judge based off of appearance! He could be the nicest guy ever."
"I am only watching over these creatures which my child has caught. He ran off to catch more, and I am just guarding them. I do not wish for any harm to come to them. He would be devastated. As long as you stand here, no harm will come to you."
"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

The robot pats the object it is holding, as if to calm it down.

The two capture creatures are playing with paints, and invite you to come over and show off your best art!!!

"I told you guys that thing is freaky and nasty– buuuutt as long as you don't hurt me with your nasty bloody hands, I'm totes glad to sit here and make macaroni art as your captive!"
Willow crawls towards the creatures, trying to stay out of the line of sight of... whatever that was. "Awwwww aren't you two the cutest little things!!"
"Ok creepy freaky man! Do you like this? Yes I know I know, my art skills are soooooo in season!"

The numbskull looks at your picture. It crumbles it up and "Pffffbbbbbt"s at it before throwing it to the floor.

The AI reaches downwards towards the crumpled image, but cannot reach low enough to grab it due to the large object being carried.

"I enjoy your image......"

Strawberry takes a seat by the little creatures, making no sudden moves to alert the guy. "I made this. It's based off a fauna I saw. It's pretty cool right?"

Strawberry Mocha rolls a 20 sided die. An 11 is rolled.

The creature looks at your image with a glimmer of excitement!!!!

...For about 5 seconds. After that they put it on the floor and check the other images.

Strawberry nods and waits for the other guys. "May I uh ask your name, uh sir? Person? I'm Strawberry Mocha, legendary mechanic!"
Citron sits happily next to the creatures. "Hello friends! Citron has brought its oc. His name is Asher and! He um. He's totally ugly. I don't really know what she is." She nervously held up her sketch.
Citron rolls a 20 sided die. A 6 is rolled.

The numbskull hates this image the most, and tears it in half!!!! Horrible horrible!!!!

But uh.....

Oh, it seems to like the macaroni. The numbskull happily dances as it pulls apart your image and eats the old macaroni on it.

"OH MY G$&((D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You grab a little macaroni from the AI.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

But nothing bad happens!

Willow can FEEL the rumbling from the cross and scampers away.
"Look, you took the macaroni, but what if that 'roni was for that very creepy large statue thing? Feel ashamed of yourself, Willow."
"HEEEEEEEY I'M BACK AND I GOT ANOTHER COOL CREATURE. I'M SO GOOD AT CATCHING THINGS F-"
"Hey!!!!! Who are you people?!?!!?!?!"
"Uh, friends? We're having art lessons I think."
"We were making art with your dad and its flock!"
"Hello! Hii! We're learning art! Your dad is very kind. Would you like to join us???"
"My macaroni frame..."
"YOU GUYS ARE MAKING AAAAART!?!?!?!?! I WANT TO JOIN IN I'M SO GOOD AT ART. DO YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE MY ART??????"
"Yes!!" Now she was excited.
"It definitely won't be as good as mine but since you're cute and all, give it a shot!"
"Your art is probably so cool.." Citron happily imagined what it could be.

Strawberry Mocha runs away as their friends are taken in by this "Jesus" guy they met in the woods. Before they get out of ear shot, they hear one last sentence aimed at one of the friends...

"So do you think you're going to become a ufo or a battleship in Jesus' army??????? Cause I'm thinking, battleship!!!!!!!!!!!"

You don't know what that means......nor do you want to find out.

Today you have lost three friends....to Christianity.
No one is typing.
