A Question

[talkyourwayout]

I think this school might need better security. It seems like people come and go basically whenever, doesn't it? I wonder if there's some kind of sign-in sheet somewhere. Of course, it's easy to just fake a signature. [Louie would know. He doesn't have forgery experience, but he's made sure he knows a bit.] The point is that I saw someone around the school, and I think I know who it is. I'm pretty sure. And if it's them, it's probably going to end badly.

Here's the thing: I don't want to just assume someone's up to something. [He knows Webby wouldn't approve. He doesn't think Lena would appreciate the mentality, either. And he's had enough fighting with friends lately.] Usually when I can tell if someone's doing something wrong, it's because I know them. I can see they're acting strange. This is a stranger.

What's the best way to find out what's going on here? If I knew this would happen, maybe I would have taken the espionage class.

[The post is unsigned, and Louie has taken the time to write it neatly - in strong contrast to his usual messy scrawl.]

Right. Just as long as he's careful, observing from a distance shouldn't be too bad.

[talkyourwayout]

It's a plan, then. Thanks.

[shiningkindness]

You're welcome. Just both of you be safe, okay?

[talkyourwayout]

Of course. We look out for each other.

[shiningkindness]

That's good. If you two need any help, though, just let us know.

[talkyourwayout]

"Us" like you and your familiar, or am I missing something?

[shiningkindness]

Well, like all of us. After all, you've already reached out to everyone. I'm sure if you needed help, I wouldn't be the only one to offer assistance.

[talkyourwayout]

Oh.

You know what? That's a nice thing to think about. I guess we all can stick together, right?

[shiningkindness]

Right. Since we're all here, it's better if we get along and help one another.

Not everyone would feel the same, of course. But I think most of us would prefer to cooperate and help each other out.
