When the rich have an animal they love, they'll do anything for it. Three people have been tasked today to walk a snakevine for an elderly person. They've been told to "give the snakevine anything it wants".

The snakevine is of the highest quality. From a pedigree background, with soft colorations and a delightful personality that would make it sell for millions of points on the market. Three body guards was frankly the minimum that would be needed to keep the creature safe.

The group sat there on a park bench as the snakevine considered its next move.

It could see a bunch of cute creatures to play with in the park.

There was a trash emporium with a bunch of tasty smells and exciting noise just around the corner.

And then of course, there was the exciting wasteland where there would be tons of places to wiggle into and strange creatures to meet!

Adras flips through a booklet of notes the owner had given them.

The group picks up the snakevine and walks with it to the edge of the wasteland. While walking off the trail was dangerous, with three bodygaurds, surely nothing would happen to the cute little baby as it wiggled among the rocks.....

....................Why does it feel like something terrible is about to happen?

Matches puts on sunglasses.

Myosotis coughs up what appears to be a real gun at first glance, but anyone who picks it up would instantly realize it's just a water gun painted black.

The capsule is opened! The creature uses natura-

Matches sets the creature on fire!

The agnilith is on fire. The agnilith is filled with OIL.

P-4076 scoops up Sir Crustacean in her arms and jumps for cover. If she was desperate, maybe she can also use him.

MYOSOTIS THROWS UP AN UNLIT BOMB.

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE RICH PEOPLE DOING IN THEIR HOUSES???

THE AGNILITH BLOWS UP.

SHAPLEY IS SAFE!

P-4076 IS SUPER SAFE!

Adras is barely safe! The snakevine is safe!

But there is one issue.

The bomb is now lit.

The bomb is safely chucked away! All is well!

Except someone spawns a burrisk due to bomb-related trauma. "Bark!"

The bomb goes off, and after the dust settles....the burrisk is gone.

Another one spawns from the trauma of watching that event.

P-4076 points at Myostosis.

Shapley...also points at Myostosis.

Myosotis throws up an expensive watch.

The watch shoots a beam that causes Matches' arm to disappear.

Adras flips through the booklet.

More of Matches' body disappears.

Adras moves through even more of the booklet to find a way to fix this. He scritches the snakevine underneath the chin and talks to it in a softer voice.

The watch is consumed. Matches regains his lost bodyparts back as the reappear, fading back into reality.

Matches grabs a burrisk.

"Flutter."

P-4076 joins the creatures! She's rolling in the dirt and making dirt angels (snow angels but with dirt)!

Matches rolls in the dirt with the others.

Adras rolls in the dirt, hoping some of the dirt will like, stick to the vomit, drying it, and maybe make it easier to clean or something while its still in chunks and wet.

Shapley immediately faceplants into the dirt.

Matches realizes too late that all this dust being kicked out is putting out his flames.

In a final burst of light. Matches becomes a pile of ash.
