Them

Them Official Ice Flight Mire Buddy - October 2021 “These are important,” Them insists, pulling a largish collection of encyclopedias off their shelf and floating them over to Open Suitcase #4. Them's hapless assistant eyes them in despair, calculating how heavy the bags would be and multiplying by two for the added effort of hauling them up the mountainside. “I may need to look something up, and flying all the way back here would be so inconvenient. No, no, these must come along.” They look around their den, and a china tea set floats into the air and bobs after the books. “Oh, these too. I’ll definitely need these.” “Have you considered packing a… less expensive set?” No, no, Them shakes their head. "How about a smaller one?" Them's assistant tries desperately. No, no, these were the best. And only the best would do. Icon by soulykins | Art by Zaviei | Lore by HermitQueen | Training by AbstractAlgebra | Mire Buddies Program Link

“These are important,” Them insists, pulling a largish collection of encyclopedias off their shelf and floating them over to Open Suitcase #4.

“But they’re so heavy and we’ll only be gone one night,” Them’s hapless assistant says, looking with despair at the bags they will have to help carry up the mountain.

“I may need to look something up, and flying all the way back here would be so inconvenient. No, no, these must come along.” They looked around their den, and a china tea set floated into the air and bobbed after the books. “Oh, these too. I’ll definitely need these.”

“Have you considered packing a… less expensive set?”

“No, no. I must have this one. It is my favorite, after all.”

For the fifth time that evening, Them’s assistant suppressed an enormous sigh.
