[And with a flick of her tail, Keimi takes them to shore. She wasn't exactly graceful about it, however, bobbing in and out of the water in order to move quickly. If you swallowed any water, she sincerely apologizes.

Once on shore, she turns around, sort of backing her new companion into the shoreline.]

I'm gonna try to push you out of the water, but I need you to try and climb out too, okay?

[cryptologic]

[ he shouldn't want iwatooshi to fight this bird. he really shouldn't. that's mean.

but then again this bird has been kind of a jerk... ]

...But if you fought him, he might leave me alone.

[cutebutexpendable]

[ If it was anyone else saying this, Styx would verbally tear into them. Here, the goblin just gives her a long, world-weary look. ]

Kid. Look. Before coming here, over the last few very exciting months, every single goddamn misfortune I've suffered came about because me or Ark was stupid enough to think that some human or other would be different.

[cutebutexpendable]

I dunno, you tell me. I'm just a tree fairy, you know?

[ He pauses for a moment. ]

Hey, now THERE'S an idea: I'll sign you up to be my one and only official taster of tree-based crap! How about it? You get all the stuff you can eat, and I get to learn more about the great bounty of the forest. Now tell me that ain't a great deal.

[cutebutexpendable]

Grab the damn thing so I can kill it.

[ Zero hesitation. ]

More specifically, I can't grab the damn thing by myself. We can pull off a feint or a fake-out and force it into getting grabbed by one or the other of us. How about it?

[immobileyes]

[ She at least has the decency to wince a little-- she's not that naive, but still... if she can meet people who are different, can't he? ]

Here, though...

[notsmall]

[Iwatooshi idly taps his blade against his shoulder, sizing up the bird. He wasn't expecting Dipper to actually consider his offer.]

Well, I wouldn't want to kill an animal just for being an animal, but if he was being mean to you or hurting you, then of course I could fight him!! I guess pretty feathers are a decent trophy to take...

[notsmall]

[he makes sure to stabilize her, supporting her with one arm as the other holds onto his blade. He lugs around small ones at home all the time, don't worry about it.]

You sure?? You seem so exhausted! We wouldn't want you passing out or anything... I would end up carrying you anyways.

[immobileyes]

B-but it's embarrassing...

[ HE'S HOLDING HER LIKE A WEE BABBY and she doesn't even know who he is, what would grandma think-- ]

[undaunts]

That...ain't a great deal...?

[???]

Wait, I don't think that's what you wanted at all--

[Focus, Ruby.]

[dontsaygou]

[ Stubbornness is a thing for most of them, Gou knows. And she likes seeing it in people, know they won't give up on something just because it's difficult.

But sometimes - like now, in this very situation - stubbornness has a way of backfiring. Badly. Rei's probably going to bruise, and it won't be pretty.

Her eyes wander around to nearby trees, to the trunk of the tree Rei is in, assessing. There's no way she could catch him and even if she managed that, they'd both end up hurt in the result. So yes, another method is the best option.

And look, there's a vine, hanging from another close-by tree. Gou tugs on it, putting as much force on it as possible, and when it seems sturdy enough, motions to Rei. ]

Scoot a little closer and I'll try to swing it over to you, and you can use that to get down?

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Aaand let the backpedaling begin! ]

Whoa--! I-I'm sorry! That's not--! I-I mean, I bet she's just as gorgeous as you are and that's awesome for you-- n-not in a gross way! Really!

[ Please don't kick him in the face. Or set him on fire. Or get out any arrows. Or anything else. Aaah. ]

And yeah, no, I gotcha. Nothing between us. [ He finally pauses to take a short breath, tries for a smile - it's nervous, but still honest. ] I understand. Seriously. Promise.

[hasklutz]

[ One of the risks of a water-borne rescue is a temporary increase in water. While he may not be a fan, he can admit that he'd be dealing with a lot more of this if a mermaid hadn't come along. What is it that people say? The lesser of two evils?

Corazon responds to her question with what is essentially affirmative gurgling. Simple, yet eloquent.

In the event that his unintelligible answer is less than intelligible, he's also already extending an arm towards the shoreline when it's mostly within reach. Please, sweet land. Return to him. ]

[cryptologic]

[ dipper holds up his hands. ] Whoa, wait, I don't want you to kill it! Just...scare it off, of something!

[ do you know how much mabel would kill him if he were partially responsible for this dead bird?? ]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei's face finally softens. She's not going to yell at him, and she calms visibly, her rigid posture relaxing once more. Palms flat on the table, she nods once.]

I'm glad. It was...I think part of why we were able to be so close. Usually I'm not fond of boys, but you? Well, the other you at least, since I don't want to put those same expectations on you? Were very kind, and accepted that I wasn't interested. There wasn't any romantic notion, and that was extremely refreshing.

[Basically Yosuke realized she wasn't ever going to be into it, and decided to befriend her rather than make an ass of himself.]

And I appreciated that. I'm glad you understand. I...should not have been so harsh. [She flips open her CEREVices though, and slides it over to show him a picture of the two of them together. Both in suits, standing outside the park, hanging all over one another.]

But she is beautiful, you are right. I am...actually rather lucky. And I'm sure she'll be delighted to meet you sometime.

[cpt_ressentiment]

[ Well that's a bullet dodged...!

But more importantly, he really is serious - it really is okay, and there will be zero expectations. He gets it now. Still, he visibly relaxes, too. And smiles a little more.

Especially at the picture! Because yeah, no, damn, they're both gorgeous. And they look incredibly happy together, and that's a good thing. With a grin, he nods. ]

Dude, that's awesome! And yeah I'd like to meet her, too. She's gotta be as cool as you, right? A-And don't worry about the harsh, or whatever. I, uh, I think I deserved that. Heh. So were you like... together before you got here?

[faithfulflame]

No.

[There's a sense of pride in Rei's answer, a ringing, certainty to it. She is happy, beyond happy really, to have found that connection. It came at an unexpected time, in a hell not of her own making, but it came. And after years of being close it'd finally all clicked into place.]

We've been close since middle school, but it was only recent that we got together. And I think you're probably the first person to describe me as cool, ever.

In any event, I'm glad that's cleared up.

[particularity]

No problem-- good luck, and be careful.

[Hinata glances pointedly to his arm. Try not to get any more, er, pixellated or code messed-up, Namazuo!]

[seakingbait]

[And with a grunt and a push, hopefully Cora made it to shore!

Hopefully!]

[fittedgloves]

I'm willing to try it.

[ Will it work though? Who knows. It's worth a shot at least. ]

[niceguypose]

Yosh! I am fully prepared to explore this area!!

[makigumo]

Good good, then let's go.

[niceguypose]

Yosh! [He then dashes on ahead towards the door outside.]

[zerotohiro]

No idea if you could really call them elected officials, but they were pretty mad about what happened. They weren't even really talking to us at first, they were just really mad at Vincere...the old CEO of CERES. They kept talking about things that were stolen from them and how they wanted them back. Maris was more angry than Caeli, but it's hard to imagine a cloud really being mad anyway. Maris was talking about how we'd pay for mistakes.

...then again, Caeli was talking about washing all of us away so there's that. They eventually got what they wanted though after everything.

[braavado]

[She watches him go, eyebrows raised.]

Where are you gonna go if you leave the village? [From her calm, it's pretty obvious, she's already thought about this since earlier.] You're more likely to run into those things in the jungle instead of in here. Besides, there are more people in the village--more fighters to drive them away if they do attack.
