    My side of that god-awful wonderful vision (still cleaning log, uguguu):

    You have emoted: Gurashi turns back towards the the Liar, taking a few cautious steps forward and reaching out to rest his hand upon the tae'dae's paw.

    The Liar shifts in their sleep at your touch, and a pleasant honey scent overtakes your nostrils as the world swims around you, a familiar, friendly mind that is not your own brushing against your thoughts.

    You think to yourself: Ah...

    You look down at yourself, and feel a smile come to your lips as you watch yourself explain the process of baking, a happy sense of serene zen on your mind as you listen carefully to the instructions. You are safe here. Your good friends, Tsakali and Gurashi, are nearby.

    You have emoted: Gurashi's smile wanes, then grows, mandibles clicking shut as he stares, unfocused, lost in this thought.

    You are then sitting on the ground, watching the contest of songs as the Shofet huddles within your fur and lets you wrap your arms around Them. Your friend Gurashi is on stage, and your other friend Lief will be singing soon! Friend Tsakali is nearby, happy with the celebration, and soon the Glomdoring's Shofets will be here.

    And then you are lost - floating on your back in a sea of darkness that stretches as far as the eye can see.

    You think to yourself: Oh ....

    The thrumming of notes from a lute catch your attention, spilling pink tones across the sea of darkness like splashes of paint being flung over a canvas, quickly fading back into darkness as the music leaves.

    The presence fades with the scent of honey, but not before a few final words are whispered into your ear, as though from a great distance:.
    "Hello, Friend Liar. It's me - Gurashi."

    You have emoted: Gurashi narrows his eyes, one hand still clutching the Liar's as they sleep.

    You stare intensely at the Liar, looking moments from tears though your eyes remain dry.

    Gurashi's half of log is done being cleaned!
    Thanks for reading! Please enjoy, from the start of Mysrai being mad on mountain to the mystery of Bizi-bee:

    It would be worth it if they knew just how much you loved them.
