The collar blocking your view of it lays on the ground next to it, seemingly pried open…the culprit impaling through Buddy’s neck and upper back. It’s staggering to its feet and struggling to keep itself together, but it’s alive, and from the look of it, mostly safe.

VOIDSY: Well…
VOIDSY: Maybe not okay, but we need some healing over through the bag, stat!

Buddy shuffles over to Jasper’s bag of holding on the ground, rifling through. Crunk passes a sizable amount of jelly through, Buddy absorbing it through its hand…
