#ough ugh ah

[pink-november]

hey are you still doing the character ask game? because i would like to know your thoughts on the voice of the skeptic

i hope you're referring to this ask game or this is going to be really embarrassing /j

anyways, one voice of the skeptic coming right up!

First impression

Ugh, I don't remember if I saw him during the Eye of the Needle or during Den first but I do know I did Prisoner last during my gameplay. He didn't make that much of an impression on me at first, mostly because I went "Oh, he's the logical one. Got the big brother vibes. Neat. 6/10"

Impression now

Oh. He's heart-stopping. Literally. Wow, he's the only voice who did that to us because he wants the best for us and knows that the endless void The Narrator promised us is utter bullshit. He's such a calming presence to someone like Hunted in Den and would take on Stubborn's recklessness and guide that energy to something that can benefit them. He holds the braincell during The Prisoner and I love how he calmly handles the situation there and how much The Drowned Grey frazzled him out so badly. And now with the Pristine Cut looming in the corner, I'm so excited for what horrors Skeptic is gonna face with Prisoner's new Chapter III and his potential dynamics with the other Voices.

Favorite moment

The wink. Wink. This absolute goofball. He literally got that straight face while telling someone a funny joke. Just like me fr. Also love how he goes, "None of this is working! Think. Think!" in Razor cuz my man, you cannot possible hope to reason or outhink your way out of this absolutely normal princess. She skewers you.

Ah, but we can't forget his line in Moment of Clarity, "Can we love something that hates us? Can we love something that hurts us?" It hurts my heart so much to hear him say that ough TwT literally best line in the entire Moment of Clarity. There's just something about this question that makes me itch. Like it's on brand for him to sound skeptical and prod at Smitten's statement before this but I feel like there's some sort of a desperate hope to it too, like he wants to trust and love someone like the princess but had been broken down too much to even attempt trying at this point. And oof, this is gonna go to headcanon territory so I'll stop.

Idea for a story

Since the game hadn't explored much of Skeptic and Smitten's dynamic at this point (Pristine Cut prove me wrong), I think a simple story about them just talking out their feelings and perspectives on the Princess is something I want to do at some point. They're literally parallels in-game, two sides of the same coin, trust and skepticism is very prevalent in their routes, and even their Princess share the same Chapter Three (and Cold)! I want to write something that both questions their nature but at the same time proves them right about their relationships with the Princess and with each other.

Unpopular Opinion

I... don't think I've seen an unpopular opinion about Skeptic tbh... which is good I suppose 😅 (nor do I have one that might be considered unpopular)

Favorite relationship

Oh, definitely Opportunist. Or Contrarian. Either put Skeptic into a wringer trying to decipher and remove Opportunist's many masks or put him in a state of absolute befuddlement trying to understand Contrarian's cartoon logic. It sounds fun. Oh wait even better. He has two hands, he can hold both Oppy and Contra. Too bad he's the one being stringed alongside their shenanigans.

Also... guts trio. What can I say? You gotta love Skeptic and Stubborn and Hunted whenever they're together <333

Favorite headcanon

He's as much as a romantic as Smitten. Just goes about it logically. If there's one thing he never doubts, it's his feelings. He's loyal and his trust is one of the most precious thing you can receive because he will unfailingly stick by you no matter the odds or dangers. He can be a bit of a mess when things go unexpectedly and he might have a hard time navigating when his emotions overrides his reasoning and he might get decision paralysis when he knows he's not thinking clearly and can't bear the results of whatever choice he'll make because of it. He doesn't quite repress himself but it's more like he won't act upon them unless he's absolute certain he covered all his bases and knows all the possible causes to the effects he's feeling.

[macabrecravings]

Ohhhhhh... Very optional. And, naturally, something that could have multitudinous answers, so multiple could absolutely be given. But ALSO...

Given that they're talking again/have made up, enough that they could get away with it, what do you think the first non-"book criminal" thing Sydney would write on Kylar would be? Would Sydney change how they write book criminal on them, even, like they do for PC? Or would they not write on Kylar at all, maybe!

(BONUS: ADORE YOUR WRITING!! The thought you put into Sydneyposts and both your understanding of him and how he'd articulate things absolutely fucks to read :} your ocs seem really cool too... well wishes)

I HAVE!!! SO MANY THOUGHTS about Sydney (& Kylar) bodywriting <3 This got LONG but I'm genuinely rotating this so hard, thank you for prompting me.

— When they're closer, I imagine the normal "Book Criminal >:(" would become “Book Criminal :(“ with a sad face. Reason being...? Well, he's disappointed that Kylar's still destructing school property, even after all of his lecturing

— It's really fun to picture Sydney writing "Interesting" on Kylar, like he does to the PC when he's intrigued by them/getting closer to them. Interesting is... definitely one way to describe him, for sure. Kylar scrunches his face at it, trying to decipher what he means by it. Gets all grumpy and huffy, tries to glare at him but he just kinda looks like a wet cat LMFAO.

— Playing off of another canon Sydlar scene, I'm going to go ahead and take his "Kylar >:(" and make it "Kylar :)" [The original scene happens while Sydney & Kylar are fighting over PC and taking turns writing on them, but in this scenario I imagine it like most of his other PC bodywriting scenes.] - "Hey, can I write something on you?" - "Ah? Uh... y-yeah, I guess...?" - **Kylar :)** Kylar stares at it, confused. Why'd he... label him?

— Putting aside the fact that Sydney is super organized & clean, I loooveee the idea of him being a doodler. Hence why he draws little hearts and faces on people. Unlike Kylar, he refrains from drawing on school assignments & library books, but he still finds it enjoyable!! So, hear me out. Little stars, hearts, swirls, dotting the back of Kylar's hand and up his arm after he sits at the same table as him :)

Bonus points if Kylar rolls the sleeves of his school uniform/jacket down over them and forgets about them until that evening when he heads home. When he sees them again, the little red doodles are all smudged and he's kinda like, "Ah. Right." Maybe daydreams about it a little bit before he washes it off.

— Bit of a mushier, more self-indulgent one here but ummm...! Sydney writing nice little quips / little motivational phrases on Kylar's arms. Supportive little phrases to boost his confidence and keep him going throughout the day when things are rough. He rolls his eyes at the gesture, thinks it's dumb. But... at the same time, they’re validating. Having genuinely supportive reminders on his skin that contrast his scars? Ough...

(P.S. That means THE WORLD to me...!!!! My absolute favorite part of writing is characterization & I genuinely put so much thought into taking canonical bases and fleshing them out / expanding them while trying to keep it in the general realm of possibility!!! A lot of the time w/ the roleplay account, it's like taking a shot in the dark and running off of pure vibes so I looveeee that y'all enjoy what I do w/ it :))

Also. I'm so obsessed with my OCs, I can't wrap my head around the fact that people enjoy them as much as I do but I wouldn't change it for the world ;w; Characterizing and fleshing them out is a blast too, I'm not limited by anything really,,,, I find myself going "ugh I wish ____ would do *this* and I've got to be like. "I mean... who's stopping you...?" </3 Be free!!! Do whatever you want forever!! <3)

Orion: Great work👍now are you familiar with your gear shift?

Kayla: ah you mean the PRNDL (pronounce prindle)

Orion: The what?

Kayala: The prindle?

Orion: are you referring to the lever that reads PRNDL

Kayla: I’m not a sparkling dad I know how to spell prindle

Orion: It’s not something you spell it’s a gear shift the letters stand for Park, Neutral, drive and LOW!

Kayla: ugh dad your stressing me out with all this technical talk

Orion: Oh I’m sorry *throws the data pad he was holding behind him* why don’t we just relax turn on the radio would you like AM OR FM!!!!! ( pronounce A-M the way you pronounce the word am and do the same for F-M)

Kayla: your making me a nervous wreck!!

Orion: I’m trying to prevent you from causing a wreck

Kayla: but I’m not even moving!!

Orion: oh Primus *pinches imaginary nose bridge* ok let’s start over shall we?

Kayla: fine *says it with attitude*

Orion: get in your car and put the car in drive

Kayla: *gets in car* um which one is drive?

He’s been teaching Parker 🥺

Rip Hardinson

“Pilates or yoga?” Nate is so good at playing the ditzy asshole. Like he already is an asshole so it’s fun to see him play it up for cons

Hardinson talking about his special golf balls is so sweet but I have no idea what some of the words he is saying means but please keep talking sweetie

Rucker talking all polite but oh you can feel the anger in it 😂😂😂

ELIOT

YESSSSSSSSSSS YESSSSSSSSS

Jesus Christ what the fuck Rucker

That’s a nice headshot, Sophie

Awwww Eliot 🥺 he needs to stop acting all soft and nervous I wanna squish him

ELIOT EPISODE! ELIOT EPISODE! ELIOT EPISODE! 

Sophie >:( pork rinds are good

ELIOT MY BELOVED!!!! He needs to stop being so sweet 🥺 Hardinson watch out

“White people doing white people things” 💀💀💀

Ok and how are they gonna steal a concert 🤨

Jesus, dude can’t you be nice :(

HEEHAW??????

Hardinson needing to check his name tag 💀💀💀

is that how tv works???? <- genuine question 

JIMMY YOU SNITCH

JENNY YOU SNITCH

ah shit

Tank, aka the dude who almost killed Mark. hmmmmm ‘spicious

oh come on, Rucker, playing your cards so soon??? you are going to let the con men know you know????  rookie mistake

Ok wait were they actually going to hurt Sophie >:(((((

PARKER

AND A SAX???????

I fucking knew the bet was through Hardinson!!!!!!

“Where’s your cousin Jinny now?” I LOVE HIM

AWWWWWWWWW happy ending 🥺🥺🥺🥺

YAY SHE LIKES PORK RINDS

General thoughts

ELIOT EPISODE!!!!!! It’s kind of sweet how we sort of know when each episode will focus on each character. Like Eliot is when they go rural, and Nate is if there are children. So I can now check off boxer after horse girl with Eliot ✅ and it’s interesting how can still see a strain on Sophie and Eliot’s dynamic but this time doesn’t have to do with betrayal but just understanding now. 

And ough the way Eliot plays the skittish dude who works under Nate out of debt for the com was just *chef’s kiss* I would have fallen for that persona instantly if he played THAG on me. The way this team would have conned me so bad if I was their target lol 

But yeah, this episode was so fun and I can’t believe I was fooled into the “Eliot got drugged” scene because these guys are smart!!!!! They would know he would play this and they just pretended like Rucker fooled them and AGHHHHH 🤧 lmao on to next episode

Nine Mutuals I'd Like to Know Better

tagged by @argisthebulwark! Hi! :D

3 Ships

Malenia x Knight Finlay. Tragic Battlewives....

Killian Jones x Emma Swan. From when I was 13, lol. Hah, that show was a trainwreck. I saw it in middle school and immediately shipped those two from their first episode together. (If the writers could get out of the TV trap of "constant escalation and twists for shock value"... That ship could've gone somewhere phenomenal.) (Ah. If only.) (From what I remember, it ended up being a dumpsterfire in execution...)

Serana x Female LDB. I almost wrote a fic for that ship back in the day. I feel like there's so much potential for something sweet between them, as Serana figures her life out after being freed. Though, at this point, anything I'd write has already been done 1000x better with Dame Aylin and Isobel. (Baldur's Gate 3) God, what a pair.

^^^ Not in any particular order. I could go on for centuries, lol. Rogier x D (Divorced), Miraak x LDB, Fia x Rogier (Divorced).... Bethesda x Better Game Design—

First Ship

Katniss x Peeta, probably. I would've been about 12 at the time. Quickly followed by Roy x Riza—I saw Riza try to kill Lust to avenge Roy's presumed murder and... Those heartbroken shrieks Riza let out, with the tears streaming down her face.... It rewired something in my brain. Ugh. 10/10. Fuck yes

Last Song

Ascending, by Long Distance Calling [Guitar Instrumental] From my labwork playlist, lol.

Currently Reading

Roadside Picnic by Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky. Still. I love it so far, but I just haven't had the time to pick it back up.

Last Film

I saw the Barbie movie with some other people a month or so ago.

Currently Craving

Ough, pasta. Penne, with that smoked cheese, asparagus, and that fancy italian bacon stuff. Prosciutto. God.

Also, sourdough. A character in a fic I'm writing mentions it, and it's been haunting me for the last few days.

Cheat Day

(Weight Gain Story)

(A tall jock happily walks out of the store with a tin of ice cream and a can of whipped cream)

“Ah, what a good cheat day this’ll be. Haven’t had sweets in a while! Good thing my buddy recommended me this stuff, and they both are even made for gainers like me! …Is it even a cheat day if all my foods are gonna be packed with protein? Eh, who cares, I’ll order a pizza or something when I get home to make it a proper cheat day.”

He walks home and sets his ice cream on the counter, still having not properly read the label.

[GNR: Gainer Ice Cream- Made For True Gainers]

(Warning- Causes an increase in hunger, and stomach capacity, with side effects including sluggishness, laziness, increased weight gain, alongside more sizable belches and louder stomach noises

Do not eat for at least 5 minutes after each use of GNR* brand products, as the effects may pass onto other foods

Do not mix with any other GNR* brand products, as results are not tested)

An almost identical label could be spotted on the whipped cream, as it is of the same brand- and has the same unfortunate side effects. He would’ve known this, had he cared to read it.

Lying back on the couch, the unknowing jock flings the cap off the GNR: Gainer Whipped Cream and chugs it before he makes a call to the local pizza place…

“Heya! Can I get one large pizza… (GRRRRROOOOOWWWWWLLL) oh wow, maybe just a couple more… fourty large pizzas (GWWWOOAAARR) and twenty orders of breadsticks (GRRROOOAAAN) and fifty two-liters of soda? The address? Yeah uhh…”

After the call is finished, he looks down at his gurgling gut, confused as to why it would be so hungry- Until he notices his gut has bulged out a whole two feet!

“WOAH. Okay, I’m absolutely sure that wasn’t there before… Maybe it’s from the whipped cream? Y’know, aerated cans and such? That would explain the noise… I’m super hungry though, but it must just be because it’s my cheat day, and my gut’s ready to bulk!”

He goes to slap his seemingly tight gut and sure enough- WHAP! -But what he didn’t expect was his hand sinking in a few inches deep into his definitely flabby midsection

“Uhh, okay, that’s not how a gut works, I think… Unless it means my gut is ready to digest all that pizza I ordered? (GWWWOOOAAAAARRRRP) Ugh, alright, I can’t wait any longer- I’m gonna dig into this ice cream!”

And with a spoon and a hungry gut, the ex-jock got to work. Amazingly, he scarfed down the entire tin of ice cream before the pizzas arrived- adding another 28 feet of pure flab onto his gut. With this, his legs and arms grew outward with 2 feet of fat in each direction, with moobs flowing down and his chin developing into its own pile of lard. Before, when it was just the whipped cream, it turned all of his muscles into fat, and added a hefty belly onto him- placing him at around 170 lbs. But now, with the ice cream adding onto that, it ballooned him up past. 2000 lbs of fat- over a TON.

Not having time to have fully taken this in, a knock on the door is heard, and the door opens

“Hey man, I thought I’d be your delivery guy, since I recommended those gainer foods to ya- WOAH! You really packed on the pounds man, huh! Well, y’know what, I think you’ve got this all under control man. See ya at the gym tomorrow, man! I think?”

And with that, the blob’s friend tossed the pizzas up on his belly, alongside the breadsticks, and set the soda down up there, too.

“Ough… (Huff, wheeze) I need… More food…”

And with that, the 1-ton pile of flab somehow got to work, shoving pizza after pizza down his gullet, along with a 2-liter getting chugged between each. After the pizza stash ran dry, he moved onto the breadsticks.

The breadsticks were eaten in packs of two, with another whole 2-liter chugged between each feast.

Plumping out by 2 feet with each slice of pizza, 4 feet for every 2-liter, and 12 per bunch of breadsticks left the flabby mound spilling out 1,110 feet in each direction. Having shattered his walls from all his weight, the 74,000 lb mountain of fat could do nothing but yell for help… In his own special way-

“Hey! (Wheeze, pant) You! (Huff, huff) Bring me some more (Wheeze) of that Gainer Ice Cream… (Huff, Pant) And another couple hundred pizzas, too!”

(BWWWWWOOOOAAAAAARRRRRPP) (BWEEEEEEAAAAARRRRRRRRPPPHHH)(GWWOOOAARRRGGGLL) (GRRROOAAAN)

“I’m (Pant, Huff) Starving! (Wheeze)”

Fork w/ rice: if it's sticky rice, no problem same as chopsticks. Just fork it up. If it's like, brown rice or buttered rice then you gotta scoop a little more. Maybe use your finger to keep it on. In this situation I would prefer a spoon. But I would NOT use a spoon for sticky/jasmine rice bc it would stick to the spoon and make a film and ugh augh ough.

ah that makes sense ! i think i value ease too much to mind the film lol i dont like that rice grains may fall through the tines. maybe im just a messy eater. the fork association w pasta fruit etc is so strong coming around to it as being convenient for rice feels weird but ofc it isnt that different from chopsticks. ty for dialing in !!

I must admit, Baileywick, I am a big admirer of your job. [CLEARS THROAT] I mean, of you. So I brough a small token of my admiration. Allow me. May it bring you good luck. You're going to need it.

Oh, allow me, Your Highness. Slickwell. [CHUCKLES] Slickwell, Your Majesty. And if there's ever anything more I can do for you during our stay, I would be delighted to be of service.

Allow me, Your Highness. I always keep this special stain remover on hand, in case of accidents just like this. [LAUGHING]

Oh, another mess? Allow me. It pains me to say it, but I've seen this sort of thing before. Indeed. Even the greatest stewards eventually grow too old for the job. We all have to retire one day. Perhaps that day is sooner than you think. I have a plan to trip you up, Drop every tray and every cup. Because that serpent pin is cursed, You'll go from being best to worst! And I will help provide Some terrible and cruel surprises And I will never rest until your job is mine.... Mine! Being Steward of Enchancia That's my dream To get that job I've hatched a truly amazing schemes It involves a secret trick.... Getting rid of Baileywick! And if you worry fret or frown Slickwell kicks you when your down Now that your a clumsy clod Slickwell's going to steal your job And I will help provide some terrible and cruel surprises And I will never rest Until your job is mine All mine I'll push you out of the way until your job is mine Your job will soon be mine That job will soon be, mine!

Here you are, Your Highness. Masterful shot, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness.

Hmm, I'll have to do something about her.

Uh-pah-pah. Oh dear, you seem to have stepped in some mud, Princess. I'll just clean off your shoes for you. But I insist.

Oh, allow me, sire.

Yes! I mean, there comes a point in every steward's life when it's finally time to hang up the watch and call it quits, as hard as that may be. Oh, I'm sure King Roland could find an able replacement.

Yes, but keeping all that powdered sugar from falling off will require a steady hand. I'm happy to carry it, if you like. And what a great tradition that is. After you...

This ough to be good.

Allow me, Your Majesty.

[CLEARS THROAT] If it helps, I would be happy to fill in for the rest of the jubilee, if it's alright with my king.

Come on now, pick up the pace. It's time for the harbor cruise. There is no slacking off when Slickwell's in charge! You forgot...Ugh! If you want anything done right, you have to do it yourself.

All aboard for the harbor cruise! If it pleases you, Your Majesty, I would gladly stay on as your royal steward permanently...

Right away, Your Majesty. Just a moment, sire. [GRUNTING] [AWKWARD CHUCKLE] My apologies. Oh! Sorry again. Slippery deck. Now, let me take care of this stubborn cork. I beg your pardon. Oh! The cider! No, I'll stop it! Gangway!

Here, allow me to clean it up... [YELPS]

The pin! [GASPS] Uh, Your Majesties, I can explain. You can't fire me! I work for King Magnus! What? But, sire! Please! Whoa! Oh, blasted pin!

[GROANING] [GASPS] You haven't heard the last of Slickwell! Ah! Curse that pin.

Oh! It's February 13th, you know what that means!!

FROSTMAS ON AO3 UPDATE!!! 💃🏻🥳

Check out Frostmas: Year Two, digitally remastered on ao3, HERE. Now with more swearing and an extra 3k words somehow! I didn't add SHIT so this is very confusing!

Year Two

Trapped by societal conventions, Jacqueline has a contentious dinner with Jack. Jack discovers an unpleasant caveat to his new job.

What to heck is Frostmas?? Have a summary:

The Twelve Years of Frostmas

Nobody but he and I knew the truth. Jack wasn’t supposed to be Santa; I wasn’t supposed to be Jack Frost. He thought being Santa would fix everything. He was horribly, horribly mistaken. [My take on Jack’s reign as Santa during the Escape Clause. MAJOR OC involvement AND First Person POV from said OC. Finally cross posting THIS behemoth! Enjoy!]

Interested? Take it from the top HERE on ao3! And here on ff dot net, where it is done up to Year 10. But this ain't ABOUT HER.

This is about Y2 on ao3! Have a delightful little preview under the cut~

Jack’s next sentence took me right out. “I know, I know, it’s a lot to take in, I get it. But this’ll, this’ll make everything better!” I finally rebooted. “Everything better?!” I shot up out of my chair, stirring up enough of a wind for cutlery to go flying. “Everything was better eleven years into the future before you screwed it up again with your little timeline jump! We were okay, finally! I was okay! We actually talked about things and it was really, really, great! Then I wake up and suddenly it's 1994 and not 2006 and Mom and Dad are both upset and nothing is right! Nothing is the way it's supposed to be! And you think it’s better?! Better? This has made everything worse!” “Ah. So you do remember. I had a feeling that you might. Tell me something, Jacqueline,” he paused, shifting in his chair and recrossing his legs. “How much do you know?” I puffed up my cheeks and held my breath, trying really hard not to show how little I knew. My hands gripped the table so hard, my knuckles looked like snow. (Come to think of it, they may have actually shifted into snow. I was angry enough that that may have happened. Ough. Embarrassing.) I let out the breath I was holding. "What do you think I know?" "I think that you know something I thought only I knew.” Jack stood up, serving me with a calculating stare. I shifted unconsciously into a defensive pose. “But given your whodunit questions and how much you seem to know about different timelines and the future, you must also know something I know, no?” He arched an eyebrow, steepling his fingers together. A pulse near my eye started up; it twitched. The temperature in the room dropped. “Well? Silence isn’t exactly an answer, Jacqueline.” I scrunched my nose. UGH. On the one hand, if I told him I didn’t know, he’d have the upper hand. BUT. If I told him I did know, then maybe I’d be able to get a little bit closer to figuring out what he did. Or it’d backfire and he’d still have the upper hand. “Hmm. Seems I was mistaken, then.” He looked relieved in like, a kind of smug way. My nostrils flared. “Nu-UH. The something you thought only you knew is also known by someone in this very room!” Jack dropped his arms. “Interesting. I would’ve thought that the clause—” "AHA! So it's a CLAUSE!" I pointed an accusatory finger his way. "AHA! You DIDN'T know!" he pointed an accusatory finger my way.

Ohoho! the cold front are FIGHTING! I'm surprised it took this long, tbh. How will this go? Who's gonna emerge from this spat victorious? WHAT DOES JACK FIND OUT ABOUT THE JOB? Check out Year 3: 2024 Edition on ao3 HERE for all those answers and MORE! :)

30 29 and 1 for the ask thing :)

30. A song that reminds me of myself:

I'm not a good person - Pat The Bunny

Ah, Jamison coming in with the angst at 3 p.m. I heard this song and it hit me in the gut lmao. It reminds me of myself because I feel like it explains how it feels living with mental illness.

29. A song that I remeber from my childhood:

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

Ough this makes me feel both insanely young and old. Like it came out in 2009, which isn't too long ago, but also that's 14 years ago. This song used to be playing all the time when I was younger. At my school, they'd play it and let us dance to it after we finished put work, it was also used in my figure staking shows. It was insane how much this was used.

1. A song with a color in the title:

Buttercup - Jack Stauber

I'm such a Jack Stauber fan it's not even funny. I love this song. It makes no sense but also perfectly explains and emotion I can't verbalize, just ugh.

[dnangelic]

" I hate this, I hate this.. ugh!! " Unfamiliar voice from around the corner starts in a rant, " Why a river..? Stupid, stupid! Now I need to find somewhere to -- Oof! "

Rant is suddenly cut off when the person behind the voice rounds the corner (with somewhat frantic levels of speed) and incidentally clashes with the pace of Daisuke, bumping into him and yelping from shock as the impact alone would probably cause him to stumble. Maybe even onto his butt!

" Sorry, sorry, so sorry! " Not only was she hyper-apologetic, she was also... hyper-wet. As in 'must-have-just-walked-straight-out-of-a-canal levels of wet.' One would think she'd just got caught in a rainstorm, but that couldn't be the case - today's forecast only calls for sunny skies! Her tattered clothing offers another suggestion however. A familiar one. On the run, maybe?

" I'm so so sorry! I didn't see you there! Ough, now you're all wet.. ahhh.. " She shakes her hands in a brief panic, trying not to let the absurdity of her current situation break her apart!

" Sorry-- I -- I need to go! "

Instead of trying to resolve the situation in a way that's level-headed, the nervous, drenched girl turns on a heel and (in a familiar fashion) absconds quite quickly!

' ouch --- ?! '

gritting his teeth , feeling the sudden hammering WHAM of impact , daisuke braces himself in an instant --- rejecting every trained , acrobatic instinct to fall catastrophically onto the ground instead . books explode from his backpack in a messy spew around him , the boy himself left dizzy and staring upwards ---

' uh ... ? ' if he's absorbed any amount of the other's drenched waters , then he can't quite hear ( or feel ... ) it just yet , pummeled by the frantic storm of the other's words first . most people would have offered to at least lift someone they just crashed into upwards , or help them with their things , right ?

yet daisuke rolls over still half-caught in a daze as the other practically sprints away , what with all the same urgency of someone like himself trying to find a safe place when he was uncontrollably transforming . what the ... what the heck had that been all about ?

' n-no , it's okay ... ' ah , there's no way she'd be able to hear him from this distance . still , a hand reaches outwards as if to try to dissuade her ( only ten minutes too late , ) before it scratches at the back of his head . one sharp wince later , and he comes away with a sting . puzzling over everything , wondering to himself just what exactly happened --- it's hard not to worry at least a little over the matter .

' that was ... weird . '

still , there's nothing he could do for someone in such a hurry like that . at least none of his school supplies had gotten wet ...
