The *crabs* are destroying things?

[meadqueen]

Yes. They tear each other apart and knock down trees in their haste. Their earlier movement may have been what was driving boars into the village recently.

What do those symbols mean?

[cactusy]

You mean * ?

Surprise. Emphasis.

[meadqueen]

I see.

I hesitate to say they attacked me because I don't think they noticed that I was there at all. I killed eight and they were simply subsumed by the others.

[cactusy]

Good eating though, right?

[meadqueen]

Perhaps, but what will *you* do if you encounter a swarm this size or larger?

[cactusy]

Kill them.

[Duh!]

[meadqueen]

[Somehow the skepticism bleeds into the text]

With what?

[cactusy]

My gun, my knife, my bare hands.

[meadqueen]

[Your bare hands? Please.]

I don't doubt your abilities, but have you ever seen one of these crabs before?

[cactusy]

I killed a wild pig a couple weeks ago. That thing was nasty, too.

[meadqueen]

I must have forgotten the hard outer shell and tree climbing abilities of the wild pig.

[cactusy]

Teeth, though.

Wait, tree-climbing abilities?

[meadqueen]

The ones I encountered fell on me from a roof.

[cactusy]

Whatever. I'll deal with it. I appreciate the intel.

[meadqueen]

I’m sure.

[She’ll have to ask Martin for a judging face]

They are heading to the southeast of us with a singular purpose. I won't ask you where you are, but you know where to look.

[cactusy]

Thanks.

I'm going to try to bring Cohle back.

[meadqueen]

*By yourself.*

[cactusy]

[And while she's still injured! What a wealth of smart decision-making is going on here.]

I was available.

[meadqueen]

[Unbelievable]

We are all so weak to you?

[cactusy]

Figured you were all pretty busy.

Besides, he asked for me, and he can get squirrely. I don't know how showing up with someone else would have gone down.

[meadqueen]

Is he aware of the severity of your injuries?

[cactusy]

I did nothing but lie in bed for three days. My injuries are fine.

[meadqueen]

My apologies. Three days is more than enough time to recover from a near fatal injury. You should be seeking out these pigs to fight them.

[cactusy]

I left three days ago and I haven't run into any trouble.

[Fun fact, she's going to collapse from exhaustion tomorrow!]
