Tsume logging in to Wolf's Den 12am

Ghost logging in to Wolf's Den 12am

Balto logging in to Wolf's Den 12:02am

Ruby: Look who is always late.

Balto: I'm sorry but I have important things to do unlike some people here.

Ruby: Wow, your lips must really hurt.

Balto: What are you talking about?

Ruby: All that ass kissing you've been doing must be hard for them lips.

Tsume: While that was funny, this is serious.

Balto: Why did you call this meeting?

Tsume: I want a review of what happened last night?

Balto: You know what happened better than the rest of us.

Tsume: I need to know that everyone made it into the woods on time.

Balto: Of course I made it.

Tsume: Ghost?

Tsume: Did you make it to the woods?

Ruby: She made it.

Tsume: I want to hear it from her.

Ghost: I'm not sure.

Tsume: What do you mean you're not sure?

Ghost: I'm not sure if I made it into the woods. I think I did.

Tsume: How are you not sure?

Ghost: I turned before I got to the woods.

Tsume: How could you let that happen?

Ghost: I was drunk damn it. I'm sorry.

Ruby: Yes but I told Balto to get her.

Balto: Don't blame that on me.

Balto: I told you already, I'm a busy person.

Tsume: I asked you to look after her, Balto.

Balto: I know but it was getting late and I wasn't going to make it.

Ruby: I called you. You told me you'll be there.

Balto: And I thought I would, but I was wrong.

Tsume: Damn it Balto. If you couldn't do it, you should have told me. I was counting on you.

Ghost: Did something happen?

Ruby: Tsume, did something happen?

Tsume: Yes.

Tsume: It's bad.

Balto: Enough with the suspense. What happened?

Tsume: Ivy was killed last night.

Ruby: Oh my God

Balto: And you think it was one of us?

Tsume: It looked like it was done by an animal.

Ghost logged out of the Wolf's Den.

Balto: I guess we know who did it.

Ruby: This is your fault.

Balto: I know you're not talking about me.

Ruby: YES YOU

Ruby: This is completely your fault asshole!

Balto: You can't put that on me.

Ruby: You said you were going to look after her. This is your fault.

Balto: Stop blaming me. I told you I ran out of time. She should have had the sense to go into the woods.

Ruby: I told you she was drunk.

Balto: That's definitely not my fault. She should know not to get drunk on a full moon night.

Ruby: She was counting on you. I was counting on you.

Balto: I'm not a babysitter.

Ruby: Then you should have said something instead of agreeing to look after her.

Balto: Stop blaming me. You know I'm a busy man.

Ruby: Fuck you.

Balto: Fuck you. If you were so worried about her, you should have driven her to the woods yourself.

Ruby: YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO LOOK AFTER HER

Balto: And something came up.

Tsume: And now Ivy is dead.

Ruby: Are you sure it was Ghost?

Balto: She logged out for a reason.

Ruby: Fuck off Balto. Just log out too.

Balto: Gladly.

Tsume: Don't.

Tsume: We still need to talk.

Balto: Look, I'm sorry for not letting anyone know I wasn't going to make it to Ghost on time. I'll admit that.

Balto: But you're not going to put this on me. Ghost knows the drill. She should have been out of town before her turn.

Ruby: Stop.

Ruby: She's not here to defend herself.

Balto: Because she chose to log out.

Balto: Like she chose to get drunk on a full moon night.

Tsume: Enough.

Tsume: We're not going to play the blame game here.

Balto: Because we know who's really at fault.

Ruby: I swear to God I'm going to kill you myself.

Tsume: We're all to blame for this.

Tsume: We're supposed to look out for one another.

Tsume: Ghost is at fault for getting drunk.

Tsume: Balto is at fault for not looking after Ghost like he promised.

Tsume: Ruby is at fault for not making sure Balto kept his word and letting Ghost get drunk in the first place.

Tsume: And I'm at fault for counting on Balto.

Balto: That's not fair.

Tsume: Did you not tell me you were going to look after Ghost last night because I couldn't?

Balto: Yes but I have other commitments.

Tsume: And you should have mentioned that before agreeing to look after her.

Ruby: How bad of shape was Ivy?

Balto: She's dead. What do you think?

Tsume: Balto, that will be enough from you. I don't want you to speak unless spoken to.

Tsume: Ivy was in very bad shape. There's no doubt it was done by one of us.

Ruby: What now?

Tsume: Now we wait for the medical coroner to tell us the cause of death then I'm not sure.

Ruby: The people are going to want to hunt down whatever did that to her.

Tsume: I know. Good thing there's no full moon for a month.

Balto: We should put it on a bear.

Ruby: Were you spoken to?

Balto: I'm trying to help.

Ruby: Now you want to help!

Tsume: He's right. We need to put the blame on a bear or maybe a mountain lion. To protect the pack.

Balto: Understood.

Ruby: Okay. I'll talk to Ghost.

Tsume: We'll talk again as I get updated.

Tsume: Stay safe and act normal.

Balto: Business as usual. Understood.

Ruby: Normal. Got it. Bye Tsume.

Ruby logged out of the Wolf's Den.

Balto: Do you blame me?

Tsume: Don't you?

Balto: How was I supposed to know that was going to happen?

Tsume: You know what we are. You know something like this is always a possibility.

Balto: But it's never happened before.

Tsume: Sadly we can't say that anymore.

Balto: I'll do better.

Tsume: Thank you.
