[ valid as hell. ]

...

Wanna go for a walk then?

[wtfox]

[she nods]

Yeah... that would be nice.

[chevaliered]

[ he makes a swooping motion with his arm: ]

Lead the way, m'lady. Or suggest a location and I will escort you.

[wtfox]

I don't really have a destination in mind... let's just walk.

[if they walk too far they can get yote back to the other side of campus!!]

[chevaliered]

[ yeah, yote them. yote them as they deserve. ]

Sounds good to me. Better than sitting around the dorms and thinking too much.

[wtfox]

Yeah...

[she sighs and glances at summer dorm before walking in the opposite direction]

...what did you think about all of that at the end, with the geese? It was supposed to be a hint...

[chevaliered]

... It was a really obscure hint, if that.

[ ... ]

I don't know. People seemed to settle pretty firmly on the younger and older theory, but I wonder if we weren't onto something with who the geese liked, rather than hated. If they're like a damn hive mind, then one of them was losing its tiny goose mind in the library, but those two were super calm.

[wtfox]

...but why the difference, I wonder? If they are a hive mind, and we were supposed to go by who they liked, wouldn't the one in the library also have been calm?

[chevaliered]

I don't know. But I do think it's weird two of them were that laid back when most of the time they're pissed at us for some reason -- and like you said, if Ichiro, Wang Lu and I all found a really pissed off one, why were the others so calm?

...

Unless, y'know. We're being too literal with the "hive-mind" aspect and they just pick up on what the majority like and dislike. Like... someone with a red jacket pisses off a couple of geese and now they all hate red jackets?

[wtfox]

...I don't know. Maybe if we spend more time around the geese we can figure out a pattern.

[a beat.]

But that would mean spending time around the geese, and I don't like them very much.

[chevaliered]

Maybe they’d be acclimatised to you by then and you’ll be amiable if not friends with them. And then they’d stop biting you.

[wtfox]

Maybe, but how many times would I have to let them bite me before that happened? I'm not into getting bitten, thanks!

[chevaliered]

Maybe you could wear a bite-proof vest...?

[wtfox]

It's my legs they keep biting! That wouldn't help... Maybe I should ask for, like, really sturdy boots.

[chevaliered]

Those super goth looking platform ones that go up to your knees? Yeah. Protect the legs from the geese.

[wtfox]

[she giggles]

No way would they be able to bite through that!

[chevaliered]

And you’d be a good…. what, four inches taller than then suddenly? You could just loom over them menacingly.

No idea if it’d work or not, but it’d feel powerful as heck.

[wtfox]

Maybe it would intimidate them if I was that tall!

[chevaliered]

It's not been working out for me so far, but maybe it's all about the attitude.

[wtfox]

Maybe we just have to make a scary enough face...

[she looks thoughtful for a moment, then frowns, trying to look as scary as possible.]

What do you think, will that do?

[chevaliered]

...

[ pfft. ]




It's a start.

[wtfox]

[she giggles]

The way you say that makes me think a scary face doesn't suit me.

[chevaliered]

Maybe it doesn't work when you announce it before it happens, rather than just going with the anger flow.

[wtfox]

Oh, yeah... I guess if I announce it then you know I'm not actually mad.

[chevaliered]

Yeah. Kinda lessens the impact, y’know? You’ve just gotta spring it on those geese when they least expect it.

[ i hope the gy is just goose central ]
