... I went into the mist yesterday with a different party, which is how I got the wolfsbane. We all made it out untouched.
I went in again with Angel Devil and two others to see if we could find additional information. Turns out the mist creatures remembered my scent, so we were ambushed right off the bat. I'm pretty sure we could have finished them off, but — like I said, a mechanical error happened and the creatures ended up getting buffed.
We still managed to escape, but Angel Devil got bitten in the process. He turned into a wolf just as we were about to arrive back at the pasture. He bit me, then hit one of the others with a magic draining spell. I shot him with a honeysuckle bullet, which took away his magical power. But —
[ he scowls, eyes growing dark. ]
A wolf without magic is still a wolf. He ran out of range of my power before I could restrain him. It would have been foolish to follow.
...
The others made it out intact. Neither of them were bitten.
( though, she mostly listens. listens, and covers her eyes with one hand as she grips the other tightly. eventually, once he's finished speaking, she simply places that black heart-shaped bag she always has on her forward. )
Flock powers don't work in there. Neither do Weed powers, though that hasn't been fully tested. Navigation inside the mist requires physical contact with a Weed. In case of an emergency, shepherds can navigate back to the pasture without getting lost. Sunflowers help ward off mist creatures, though they're not a substitute for pure combat ability in the event of an ambush. And they don't negate the feeling of dread associated with the mist. It's like staying away from your barn for too long, but several times worse.
...
I... would prefer to respect the other people's privacy, since they made it out unscathed.
[ relatively unscathed. ]
I'll tell you if you insist, but I'll feel like an asshole for it, especially knowing that at least two of them don't enjoy being fussed over.
... I wonder if this would have been any help, then... Angel Devil gave me an artifact a few days ago. It's touch based, hence the bag- so it would have been risky, but. It can instantly nullify magic. I would have hoped he'd remember this and ask for it back in a potential emergency, but...
I'm not going to rule anything out, but the natives of this place definitely fall under different rules to us. If that artifact is from his homeworld, it probably falls under the same rules as the honeysuckle when it comes to magic nullification. So it wouldn't have stopped him from being a wolf.
Against the mist natives? Mmm, probably not. But I'll take it anyway in case we figure out a use for it while retrieving Angel Devil, if that's all right.

How do things work in the mist?

You know I won't.
Re: day 26, around noon
Sunflowers were the most effective debuff we had.

Huh. Feels more like the obstacle course than honeysuckle.

Do you think it could help in future excursions at all?
