IMG: Leon just turned out of a spin, smile bright

Message is marked as read. The dreaded (...) pops up, disappears, and there's no response for about an hour until—

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Those look great, Eddie. Thanks.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: (...)

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: How are you? Did you survive the tree lighting okay?

Leonora stares at her phone once she's sent enter, and then groans before quickly adding—

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: 😊

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: I am indeed alive. The horrors of the park have not gotten to me or my sanity yet. I didn't see you there, but you must have been?

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I was fully warty and witchy. Passing out cookies. Freaking out the tourists. Feeding the other employees.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Did you hear that strange voice over the PA?

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: That would be why I didn't recognize you. Not what I expect.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: I did hear it. And the music too. Like when we were setting up.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Wait... this you?

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: IMG: Gryla hunched over in her cloak holding out a tremulous treat

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Yeah. Michael didn't think a kid had gone missing. It was totally unexpected. Maybe someone tapped into the park's system, or something.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Hey look. I look pretty scary. That's me.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Maybe an old recording from early on with the Boo'dwalk.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: And you do look scary, and perhaps more importantly, warm. A furry cloak, eh? Who did you have to talk into that?

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: No one. I think they've heard me whining.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: So that was out of the goodness of your heart, because they thought you needed to be a little warmer? That seems very kind of them.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Or do you think they were annoyed by all the whining? 😃

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I don't know but I'm definitely not complaining. Anymore at least.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I have to get back out to the Boo'dwalk. Rosie needs to go make more friends. Thanks for the photos, Eddie. They're really great.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Don't bite anyone, Leon. We don't need any little werewolves running around the park.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Aww but the kids really love the possibilities. 🦷

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Looks like you'll have to find someone else to bite who's already covered by waivers.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I think asking if you've signed your paperwork ruins the moment.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: I mean, everyone working here has signed all the waivers, right? I signed a LOT of paperwork coming onboard. I think there were four NDAs and waivers for everything else, have to be some for biting and lycanthropy too.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Are you asking me to bite you, Eddie?

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Don't think I'm into that, actually. Haven't tried it, but I don't much enjoy pain. I'm just saying, kids are very high in cholesterol.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I've made a note in your file.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Time to go. Stay out of trouble. 💙

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: It's what I do these days. Or try to. Have fun giving scares and treats.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: several more images of Leon from the dance rehearsal

4 Hours Later

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: My throat is killing me. The Gryla cackle is rough.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: I can't believe I'm saying this, but if cough drops aren't cutting it, you should totally find someone in medical who can help with that? ✨ ?

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I can't believe you are suggesting me to go find a magical healer to fix my throat.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Or that I'm being circumspect about what I put in text?

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: But yes, that's what I'm suggesting.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Guess I could. Bet Angelo knows someone.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: If cough drops or hot toddies don't cure it. I'd suggest the hot toddy route though.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Did you want to get a hot toddy after work? I know I still owe you Center Stage.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: (...)

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I'd love to.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Clearly. 😝

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: And this is where I admit that I don't know where to get a hot toddy around here. Lucky's, I guess?

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Unless you want to take a ferry, Lucky's is pretty good.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: I'm going to have to take a ferry to get there. Hah! I'll leave the park in a few.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: I meant to the main land!

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Let me know when you get across and I'll meet you there.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Oh. Yeah. I hadn't even considered going to the mainland.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Seems weird when everything is here.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: It does. Also, as much as I appreciated your dedication to costuming with dinner, I don't think you need to keep on this costume for hot toddies.

[TXT to Eddie] Leon: Lol. I'll change. See you soon.

[TXT to Leon] Eddie: Clocking out now. Be there soon.
