RP log ~ Barts
In which Kidd gets a tip from someone about Barts's garden...
FangirlQuatrina: Aw. Perhaps Barts is just boring. XD;
LAC768: ;__;
FangirlQuatrina: For some reason I have this random mental image of Kidd thinking they weren't that interesting and deciding there must be something he's missed. XD;
LAC768: ...
LAC768: *GENIUS*
LAC768: His notes on Barts are lacking, so therefore Barts is OBVIOUSLY hiding some deep, dark, and probably scandalous secret.
LAC768: Possibly involving his garden.
FangirlQuatrina: You mean other than being a manwhore? I mean. *cough* >_>
LAC768: Maybe he grows weapons under the cabbages.
LAC768: *whistles*
LAC768: XD
FangirlQuatrina: wtf. XD;
LAC768: XDDD;;; *fails?*
Kidd: *kneeling in Bart's garden looking at a leaf of cabbage behind his magnifying glass and writing notes with his other hand*
Barts: *wanders back to his garden from the lake, watering can in hand, and raises an eyebrow at the cabbage inspector before walking up behind him, smiling as usual* Hi there. You need something?
Kidd: *stands up abruptly with a faint, guilty look, as if he had been caught sneaking cookies from the jar* No, nothing at all! You can return to your average, everyday, unsuspicious, legally legal civilian work!!
Barts: *blank stare* Uhh...o-kaaay... *goes past him to kneel down and sprinkle some water on the carrots* I assure you they're really good cabbages, if you'd like one.
Kidd: No, I'm all set. *makes a face* Cabbage isn't my favorite vegetable. ...I have to commemorate you for planting them in such organized rows though~ *makes a note, giving Barts a suspicious look*
Barts: *smiles* Not mine either, but I still like 'em. And uh...thanks. Organization's one of the keys to a well kept garden, you know. *turns back to grin at Kidd again, completely unsuspecting of his suspicion* So, what kind of vegetables do you like, then?
Kidd: *automatically* Eggplant. And carrots. Carrots are good for your vision...you know, spotting things that other people miss. *suspiiiiiicious look*
Barts: Oh yeah? Well, I've got both of those, too, and you're welcome to some if you like...although I kind of wonder if the vision thing might be a myth. But all vegetables are good for you at any rate. *grins happily at Kidd, ignoring the strange look he's giving him*
Kidd: *misconstrues Bart's cheery appearance as a clever facade constructed to mislead unsuspecting people* You hear a lot of myths around Budehuc about vegetables, and people, and weapons.
Barts: That so? Guess I'm kinda out of the loop, I haven't heard anything interesting like that lately. Not that I'd have anything to do with weapons anyway. *shrugs and moves over a couple rows to prune some leaves on one of the other plants*
Kidd: *keeps an eye on the target in question* Yeah, it's difficult keeping up with local gossip, not that you'd have anything to do with weapons. *dons his mask* You know, I'm not exactly in the loop either, Barts, but I hear that your vegetables are...explosively good. *STAAARESSSS all interrogator-ish-like*
Barts: *stares back, not sure whether he should be creeped out or amused* Uhh...nice mask. And...I don't know if I'd say...explosively. That's kind of a weird way to talk about vegetables, if you ask me. *watches Kidd, mildly suspicious himself now*
Kidd: Yeah, I thought that was a weird way to describe vegetables too, until I realized that a vegetable garden would be the perfect place to hide all those explosive rune cannons. No one would ever think of it, and you're the most inconspicuous person around Budehuc. *assured nod* It was the perfect plot, the perfect disguise, but the truth always triumphs in the end.
Barts: *blinks, taken aback by the sudden speech and stares at Kidd dumbly for a moment after he finishes before replying intelligently* .....huh?
Kidd: Playing dumb won't work with me! I received a tip, and now I'm here to investigate. Which is it going to be: cabbages or carrots?
Barts: *somehow even more confused now* ....I thought you said you didn't like cabbages.
Kidd: ....The cabbages then, ehhh? I suppose that's a more spacious spot for hiding dangerous, illegal weaponry.
Barts: Hiding....wait, what? *glances at the cabbages a little protectively*
Kidd: The rune cannons. Under the cabbages. ...*pauses, then...lightbulb!* Oh! I get it now!
Barts: *blinks, kind of starting to get it, but still not really* Uh...if by "rune cannons" you mean "large amounts of dirt and earth," then sure. *watches Kidd apprehensively, kind of afraid of what was coming next*
Kidd: *pats Barts on the arm, making a grandiose sweeping gesture with his other hand* You weren't the guilty one after all, were you? Now it's all clear--someone is obviously hiding weapons under your garden without you knowing.
Barts: *kind of giving Kidd the "you're completely out of your mind, aren't you?" look* Umm, I'm pretty sure if there was anything under here, I'd know. I mean, I dig this lot up pretty thouroughly once or twice a year, y'know. And there's no way anybody could put anything down there without me noticing.
Kidd: *paces, nearly stepping on the cabbages* Then...either you ARE the guilty party, or the culprit buried the weapons deeper than I thought... hmmm....
Barts: *winces a little, and takes a small step towards his beloved cabbages* Ah...h-hey, careful there...c'mon, there isn't anything down there but dirt!
Kidd: *stops in mid-step, his foot hovering over a cabbage* --!! The STORAGE room! THAT must be where they're hiding them! Not only is it underground, but they store vegetables down there too sometimes. Elementary~
Barts: *nods* Y-yeah, sure! I mean, where else do you store stuff, huh? See, no hidden weapons here! Now...could you please not step on my produce? *nervous smile*
Kidd: ...? ....! Oh. *sheepishly sidesteps around the cabbage* Sorry about that. *uncomfortable pause* ...If you DO hear anything else about it though, tell me RIGHT AWAY. The fate of Budehuc rests upon it!!!
Barts: *relieved sigh* Ah, sure thing. Yep, I'll definitely keep an ear out. *slightly nervous laugh* Well, uh, good luck, then, I guess.
Kidd: Thanks! *makes some odd detective pose and runs off to investigate further, despite the fact that his shorts have dirt stains on them now*
Barts: *sighs and brushes his hair back before going over to make sure no cabbages were harmed* ...don't worry, I won't let that crazy kid near you again! Geez, weapons buried under my garden? What the hell?
....wtf.
