Ep 57. Wolves Without Teeth

8/23/24

Packmother says, we're here. Schick and Venus glare at Dynamite and Mushroom. Schick says, wait til my brother finds out. Venus says, you're so screwed. Dynamite shouts, how's he gonna feel about you getting beat up by a girl?!
The characters enter a clearing. Packmother calls out, Harry! Where are you? Come meet the people who killed the spider. Mushroom and Dynamite stare.
Harry asks, a child? Packmother says, this child struck your brother down. Harry says hah, good! Schick yells no! It's not! Dynamite says, I helped.
Harry asks, so, are they guests? Packmother says, hostages. Tell Billie she's watching them, before she eats them. Harry says, yes, Packmother. Packmother says, Venus and Schick, you will show them how to hunt birds. The four teens say but in unison and are cut off. Packmother says to Dynamite and Mushroom, you want to hunt real food? Be grateful! She says to Venus and Schick, you said you're sick of collecting water! You're welcome!
Dynamite says, we'll do whatever you want! Someone pounces towards Dynamite. Dolly shouts hi! Hi hostages!
Dynamite stutters, asking is this Billie? She says, Dolly. Dynamite says oh, sorry? Dolly jumps away giggling. Text says leap. Dolly says, Billie's in here! Text says roll roll. Dolly shouts, Billie!
Dolly screams as a hand grabs her and pulls her into a den. Text says grab. The next panel is quiet. Dynamite and Mushroom stare in horror. Packmother says, Billie will only watch you at night. Behave around my girls. I cannot protect you from their teeth and claws. Tomorrow, you kill an abomination.
Packmother says, I'm going to go rest. Boys, show them around please. Schick points at Dynamite and says I don't like you. Dynamite shouts, well we won't wanna be here! Right, Mushroom? Mushroom asks Schick, how old is your brother? Schick says, uh, 28? Mushroom says ugh, ew.
Schick says, this is the stupid water, these are the stupid rocks, and this is your stupid hole! Bic says, hi, Schick.
Schick says, and that's stupid Bic. Bic says, poor things. You're both doomed. Astra and Warhammer have been missing for months. Mushroom asks, two missing people? But she said we only had to find her daughter. Bic says, she's been trying to find help for that, you never know.
Mushroom and Dynamite sit in the den at night. Mushroom says, I'm glad I took my dad's cloak. It's freezing in here. I keep thinking, what would my dad have done? Dynamite says, I, don't know.
Mushroom says, and we don't any privacy. Her words are broken up by snorting as she starts crying. Dynamite says, hey! It's gonna be fine. You'll be fine, I promise. Mushroom says, I don't want to be fine. I want mom and dad.
Dynamite thinks, Mushroom, I didn't realize that you felt so alone. I feel stupid, all the time. I'm sorry, that of all the people in the world, you were stuck being friends with me! Mushroom says, Dynamite, I care about you more than anything in the world. Please stay in it.
