[ The camera view is a bit shaky, but the picture is clear enough to show... a bear.

Yes, a bear. A large, brown bear that seems to be happily asnooze upon what can only be the owner of watch's lower legs. It may be a bit difficult to tell in that usual, sepia tone the watch videos and images have, but there are definitely crumbs around the bear's snout and traces of what astute observers and/or bear aficionados may deduce could be honey.

Beyond the bear is a sliver of sunlight in a faint rectangle above: a doorway, almost entirely blocked by the mass of the napping bear's body.

A voice some might recognize as Waver's floats in from somewhere. ]

Hello. I once talked to someone on here who said they have a bear.

I'm going to need some bear advice. Urgently.

[ honestly, smart. text is a good plan. ]

I'm pretty sure it's a real bear

it fell asleep on me after stealing my honey cakes

Don't laugh, please.

Re: text.

[darkestbefore]

I'm not going to laugh!

I guess it's just a good thing you had honey cakes if it was hungry??

[ Much better than you being dinner at least... ]

Is it... deeply asleep? Could you wiggle backwards enough to get free, maybe?

[tryhard]

You're going to laugh when I tell you the whole story.

Believe it or not, this is a honey shop. I was getting something for Iskandar. It turns out that bears do, in fact, also like honey. now I'm trapped in the shop along with the owner lady, whom I had to convince not to use a broom on the bear.

which, yes, appears to be deeply asleep but at least not violent. I'm still not keen on waking it though.

If it wakes up, I think it would be best to lure it away with more treats, but I'll need someone on the other side of the door to convince it not to raid the rest of the shop, or Mrs Beasley may not let me shop here again.

[ Okay maybe she does giggle just a little. ]

Where is your honey shop? I can come help if you need another set of hands? I can probably help keep the bear calm, as well. I know a spell that works on other people... it may work on him as well.

Although I haven't exactly had a reason to test that out on a bear just yet...

[tryhard]

Yes please. that sounds useful. Thanks, Yona.

[ This is so... embarrassing........ it's not his fault he was in the wrong place at the right bear time.

Waver will text her the address of the shop as given by the annoyed owner trying to figure out how to get the bear out of the way without upsetting it, just in case. It might be friendly, but it might also be cranky if woken up, and neither of them wants to hurt it either. Yona's idea is probably the best one so far. ]

[darkestbefore]

[ It doesn't take her long to find a place and her movements are quiet when she peeks her head in the door to find Waver still on the floor serving as a pillow to a very large, snoring bear. ]

Waver...?

[tryhard]

[ She'll find the bear blocking entry to the door just inside the establishment, enough for her to look in but maybe not enough for her to step through without disturbing it.

From beneath its lightly snoring bulk comes Waver's dispirited voice. ]

Down here...

[darkestbefore]

[ She hadn't been expecting the bear to be quite so.... big. Then again, it's not like she's come face to face with many bears in her lifetime for comparison, either.

She peers at the bear. And then tries to find her friend caught under it somewhere, but really, all she can see is a giant furry backside. ]

Are you okay down there?

[ ....which might be a silly question, she realizes a moment after she voices it. He was stuck under a bear, after all... ]

[tryhard]

[ The bear stirs slightly, heaving a happy sigh and a snort. ]

Surprisingly, better than one might expect. As in, at least I'm still in one piece.

Thanks for coming out.

Can you try to wake it up... gently? Someone else apparently knows the owner. I'm sure it'll be sorted soon enough.

[darkestbefore]

[ She hums thoughtfully for a moment. ]

Do we have any more honey on hand? Just in case we need to bribe him outside and out of the veritable hoard he has in there? Can someone pass it out to me?
