I don't know about amazing. [ immediately uncomfortable with compliments? ] Music's always been something I've done, so it was just easier.

[wtfox]

I'm glad you had something that made things easier for you.

[ghoststrums]

[ yamato thinks about his child self and sweats. wow moving on ]

What about you? Did throwing rocks help much?

[wtfox]

Haha, not always, but ... now my aim is pretty good!

[ghoststrums]

Ah...

[ hmm. he picks up a rock and hands it to her? ]

You might as well show me how it's done, then.

[wtfox]

[she examines the rock for a few seconds, turning it over in her hand...

YEET!

it actually manages to skip a few times on the moat. more times than lila was expecting!

then it hits a goose. the goose looks mad.]

...I didn't think it would skip that far!

[ghoststrums]

[ well, shit.

yamato scrambles up to his feet immediately and grabs lila's wrist to drag her up with him ]

Run!

[ she better run because he is. and also. because the goose had friends and there's a goddamn goose party after them now??? why???? ]

[wtfox]

[TIME TO FUCKING RUN GOODBYE

the geese are honking furiously

it's like the cuccos in zelda]

Sorry, I'm sorry...! Wait, I don't speak goose, they can't understand me!

[ghoststrums]

I don't think they'd care even if they could! [ an important point as he is leading them towards the nearest fucking building. ] C'mon, inside! They can't open doors, probably!

[ probably. ]

[wtfox]

[looks at map. depending on which side of the moat they were on that's either the cafeteria or the fall dorm, both of which they can enter, thanks to yamato]

They don't have hands! It's probably okay!

[ghoststrums]

[ god damn at least call him yama if you need it shorter don't dub me

anyway i guess they're going to the fall common room, so lila gets to see that it's halloween themed. spooky. i'd describe it more but i dont want to open the post again so you suffer. anyway, scrambling for an id card while escaping geese? hilarious, but my coin flip says he manages it and drags her in before slamming the door shut behind them ]

Shit... [ he sighs before looking at her ] You alright?

[wtfox]

[i dON'T KNOW WHY I CALLED HIM MATT I HAVEN'T WATCHED THE DUB IN LIKE TWENTY YEARS

anyway. phew! once they are safe and sound inside (and the geese slam into the shut door, honking indignantly), she doubles over to try and catch her breath. well, that was a work out...]

Yeah, I'm fine... [a beat.] ...sorry about that.

[ghoststrums]

[ yamato is apparently used to running for his life, because he's not breathing that harshly ]

It's fine. It was an accident.

[ there's a beat ]

... You might want to stay far away from those for a while, though. I think they hold grudges.

[wtfox]

Grudges...? Uh-oh...

[yikes]

It's too bad they can't understand that it was an accident.

[ghoststrums]

Well, they're just birds...

[ stupid, fat, angry birds... ]

But they wouldn't stop chasing Beau earlier, so I'd steer clear of the moat for a while if I were you.

[wtfox]

...are they gonna give you trouble if you go back to the moat?

[ghoststrums]

... Maybe, by association...

[wtfox]

[she facepalms]

Okay, looking back on it, skipping rocks on the water was a really bad idea with geese nearby.

[ghoststrums]

[ heh ]

A little. Not the stupidest idea I've been part of, though. And someone's probably done stupider with those geese already.

[wtfox]

[she thinks about it


and nods]

You're probably right about that.

[ghoststrums]

... And we definitely don't have to tell anyone this happened.

[wtfox]

Yeah, it can be our secret. I won't tell if you don't.

[ghoststrums]

Works for me. [ ... he turns to look at the door ] We might be stuck here for a little bit, though.

[wtfox]

[there is a cacophony of furious honking from outside.]

They'll have to give up and go away eventually. Right...?

[ghoststrums]

... Maybe when they get hungry...

[ HONK HONK HONK HONK ]
