And shockingly enough, Ortho is able to shock Grim with swiftness.
Grim cries out, "MRAAAGH!" and falls on the ground unconscious.
"Target has ceased moving. Scanning vitals," Ortho says and begins to scan Grim. "Pulse and breathing normal. No physical distress or threat to life detected. Mission: Capture Grim, complete. Reporting back to administrator."
Just then, Idia answers on his pad, "That takes care of the Grim capture RTA—" but quickly says, "Wait, no, with Ortho, it'd be more like TAS..."
And soon says, "Well, whatever. You speedran it, that's what counts. Guess we gotta report back to the quest-giver now."
"Got it. I'll return to the dorm as soon as I hand Grim over to the headmage," Ortho says.
Ortho then picks up Grim and walks away with him.
Meanwhile, Idia says to himself in thought, "Is the school's already-abysmal ratio of warm, cuddly cats about to get even worse? That's just tragic. Can't they just suspend him and make him write an apology or something?"
Meanwhile, on Main Street, Briar and the others are trying to search for Grim.
Deuce calls out, "Grim, are you there?!"
"Grim!" Tanzanite calls out.
Ace shushes them, "Pipe down! The headmage told us to go back to our dorm, remember? You know that if the housewarden hears we snuck out after curfew, it'll be off with our heads."
"Oh right..." Deuce says.
Just then, Seriea waves a can of tuna can and softly calls out, "Heeere, Grimmy! I've got a can of your favorite tuna! If you want it, you'll have to come out and get it!"
Suddenly, they hear ringing sounds.
"What part of 'pipe down' do you not-" Ace whispers.
But Briar says, "Hold on, it's the phone Crowley gave me."
"Did they find him?" Ace asks.
"I'll find out," Briar says.
She answers the phone and says, "Hello."
"Briar Hawthorne," Crowley says.
"Hello Headmage, did you find Grim?" Briar asks.
Over the phone, Crolwey says, "The Shroud brothers from Ignihyde have successfully captured Grim."
Hearing this shocked the group.
"How fortunate they did it so quickly. If they hadn't, I would've been forced to cancel the culture fair, and then Ambrose would've had my guts for garters.." He quick;y clears his throat to correct himself, "But never mind that! Grim is in no condition to talk at the moment. We will question him as soon as he comes to. I'm also considering having a third party look into the matter. Hence, I cannot allow you to speak with Grim in the interim. I'll be in touch soon."
"Okay. Thank you for letting me know," Briar says, showing concern in her voice.
Then the call hangs up.
Ace asks, "Did he just say Grim's in no condition to talk?"
"That what he said," Seriea says, worried.
Deuce suggests, "Maybe he put up a huge fight when they capture him..."
"Now I'm starting to get more worried. I really hope I can see him too," Briar says.
"Me too," Sereia says.
Trinket nods her head in reply
"I think the best we should do is go back to the dorm and rest for the night," Briar says.
"I just hope this will be resolved soon," Tanzanite says.
"I also hope we can figure out how to fix Grim before he goes crazy," Jasper says.
Ace yawns, "Well, I'm tired. I think Briar is right. We should talk about this after some rest."
Everyone agrees with the idea and heads back to their dorms to rest for the night. However, Briar is still worried about Grim that she's having trouble sleeping.
