event 020 - iwatooshi

[notsmall]

Mary

[notsmall]

[he gives her a gentle head rub, sympathy evident in his expression.]

Hmm... well, I don't know too much about headaches and stuff in humans-- [he scratches at the back of his neck, apologetic. Sorry, he's a sword, and not even a fancy one that could purify things like some of his friends, lame.]

Oh! But sometimes if you're too tired or thirsty, that can make your head hurt! Do you have a group you're staying with? I could carry you to them! If not, I can help look for water? That is, if all the water in this place isn't weird like the rest of it...

[he's probably overwhelming her with questions without realizing it, but he just wants to help!]

Dipper

[notsmall]

[Iwatooshi looks up at the bird (it's only a little taller than he is, really), giving it a harsh stare.]

You shouldn't take things that aren't yours, you know. [yes, scold the bird. It will totally understand.]

Unless you win them in a fight! [he looks back to Dipper now] You didn't lose any fights with this bird, right?

[immobileyes]

[ To be perfectly fair to him, Mary is just an easily overwhelmed individual. And even she can tell that this very tall stranger isn't here to hurt her, despite her timid instincts clamoring otherwise.

She considers correcting him, that she isn't human, because with a claim like that, it's pretty obvious that he isn't either-- but no, better to be safe than sorry, so when she slowly speaks up again, it's not about that. ]

I'm staying with Zara... he's not as big as you, but he has bunny ears.

[ It's a start. ]

[notsmall]

[Ah, that's something Iwatooshi can help with, possibly!]

I met a guy with bunny ears recently! Not here, but... before? In that one block challenge that a lot of us got thrown into.

[A shame he didn't get the bunny-man's name during, but to be fair, it was a very stressful situation not allowing time for pleasantries.]

Where did you get separated?

[immobileyes]

... Back by the really colorful birds?

[ Hopefully those birds don't migrate quickly. But she does seem to have perked up a bit at the mention. ]

[notsmall]

[he looks around, a little confused as to how to use that to their advantage.]

I think... there were some birds... that way? [he points back to where he came from, through (unfortunately) another mess of vines.]

Then again, I've seen a lot of different birds here. I guess we can just go until something looks familiar to you!

[he stands himself up and quickly offers her a hand- fully intending to toss her up onto his shoulders when she grabs it.]

[immobileyes]

U-um... thank you. For helping me this much...

[ Even if she's blanching at the sight of more vines, this won't stop her from (tentatively) reaching out to (gingerly) place her hand in his, because of course she doesn't suspect that her feet could possibly leave the ground as a result of such a gesture! That would be silly. ]

[succeeder]

[ He accepts it, inspecting it, and then managing to attach it to his hip through some wrestling with a belt loop.

Hmmmm... He's not a fan of manners, but there's no point avoiding expressing his sentiments in this situation: ] You have my gratitude.

[cryptologic]

[ dipper is quick to hold up his hands defensively. ]

No way, man! [ unless you count the shouting match, but no. ] You're not...going to make me fight him, are you?

[undaunts]

[His time has truly come--eventually. Regardless, she giggles at that, amused.]

You'll cook for me even more? I think that's a pretty good deal--but y'know, I would've done it without a meal too, right? [Because he should be able to defend himself, and a useless weapon won't be much help with that.

A pause, and she adds sheepishly, even as she keeps rustling through the bushes and flowers for his missing shoe:]

Sorry that I can't do it right now though... This is probably when you'd need one most of all, too.

[bruiserprincess]

Maybe they're superheros just getting started. People only started getting powers about a hundred years ago at home.

[Klara's time. ANd boy had everyone been surprised.]

[zerotohiro]

[Fair point. And it's a good question because he nods slowly, trying to think of how to explain this one to a newcomer.]

Would you believe me if I said they were the physical embodiments of elements that were shaped like a cloud and a centaur? Because that's actually pretty much the story there.

[He had a hard time wrapping his head around the concept, so he wouldn't be surprised if others did, too.]

[cutestprogrammer]

... stalker...? What are you stalking, Granny-san?

[testgasm]

Uh, some kind of horrific science experiment gone wrong, maybe?

[He's seen those. They're not pretty, and it's the only way he can make sense of this. Sorry, Draco.]

Do you see a way out, then?

[belfire]

[It did indeed feel leagues better. Without having to support the vast majority of the strain, his regenerative abilities kicked in with renewed vigour, though noticeably more sluggish that it was meant to be. His head was still pounding, but one small mercy at a time]

S'not stupid, it's, y'know, normal. [He pulled his hand away abruptly, letting it drop limply onto the floor. He still hurt, but his powers got the boost it needed, and he wanted to deal with the rest, however slowly] 'Sides, if this was a fight... it'd be different.

[particularity]

So you do know Kashuu... You're, er, one of those sword...s?

[How call them. Sword it is... Hinata's still getting used to this one but hey. Swords and countries, why not just everything having a personification.

But Namazuo's face falling like that...] You all right?

[popsometags]

[ Wow, this guy was sure unhappy about this whole jungle thing! Rinne wasn't necessarily pleased himself, but it wasn't as if he didn't know how to survive on his own with not much to his name. It was more uncomfortable if anything.

Allow Rinne to sooth all of Kazuya's fears. ]

I have no idea. [ EXCELLENT WORK. ] I was hoping someone else would know that.

[cutebutexpendable]

Now that's not something you hear everyday in my line of work.

[ To say the least, since the only thanks he normally gets is "Die, you horrible little aaaaaarghrk." So Styx waves off her gratitude, making a face. He certainly doesn't feel like a badass. ]

Naah, save it, kid. I should've taken that thing down in one go; I'm getting sloppy. Would've been easier if it'd been human-shaped.

[cutebutexpendable]

Hah. Right, let's see what we got here...

[ Styx rummages through the nearest branch, pulling off some sort of hard green nuts and sort of negligently tossing them down to Ruby's feet. ]

Alright, there's some goddamn fruit. Does that look like a strawberry to you?

[ He is the worst tree fairy ever. ]

[cutebutexpendable]

Like run headfirst into trees.

[ Styx pauses for a moment. ]

Okay, I know I'm being unfair, but- c'mon, you've gotta give me something more to work with, here. That was a hell of a first impression, and I don't mean that in a good way.

[cutebutexpendable]

Look, I don't know what crawled up your stockings and- [ Styx is an expert at ducking, and carries on like Hawke hadn't just thrown something at him ] - died, but I still have no idea what you're talking about. Different worlds, remember?

[ The goblin peers down at the ground, casting around for the thing that Hawke just threw at him. ]

So you're not going to be needing that glove anymore, right?

[immobileyes]

But humans aren't so bad here...

[ So please don't go around trying to murder them. ]

[cutebutexpendable]

Yeah, yeah, that's just what they want you to thi-

[ Styx shoots Mary another side-eyed glance and figures that he should maybe tone it down a notch. ]

Alright, well, here's the thing: they don't try to kill me, and in return, they get to stay refreshingly free of daggers in the back. Great words to live by, nice and simple.

[immobileyes]

[ Look at that, he's learning. If she'd realized that, she'd be very proud! ]

Well, I guess... that makes sense. If they don't attack you, you don't have to defend yourself.
