2nd Picture [Action]

[bestpapaever]

You guys will see a very determined Hughes pulling a burglar-esque bag three times the size of his body; at this point he's nearly sapped of all his strength, but dammit, he has to get this bag home. So he's gonna keep huffin' and puffin', switching from pushing to pulling to punching to trying to pick it up on his shoulders and failing miserably.

[angelic_meister]

Um, excuse me? Do you...need some help, Sir?

[best_papa_ever]

No, no, I've got this under control--!!

[He's pushing to the side in a perfect diagonal line like so:

/

but even so the bag just shifts in place.]

... If you have a little time on your hands. I'd appreciate your help.

[angelic_meister]

...Uh, I'll certainly try, sir, but I'm not sure how much help I'll be with this.

[She goes over to the bag to help push, but immediately stops before she actually does anything.]

If you don't mind me asking, what's in the bag...? It must be important if you're going through this much trouble.

[bestpapaevar]

[Hughes suddenly looks very dark and solemn.]

...They're toys.

[angelic_meister]

Weeeird.

Uh, toys?

[bestpapa_ever]

My... daughter asked for them, today.

I... I... couldn't refuse.

[angelic_meister]

You bought all of these for...your daughter?

[best_papaever]

[Hughes rests against the bag, panting.]

She gave me a list... of toys she wanted; she asked so nicely... it's like--it's like I couldn't even help myself..

[angelic_meister]

Oh. Oh. Right, I...I think I know why.

[bestpapaever]

[He's all ears.]

What?! Tell me, please!

[angelic_meister]

Um, well...I was told that the town could be making all men obey everything any woman tells them today. So far, it seems to be true. That would explain the...toys.

[best_papaever]

[Brain is fried.]

So... anything a lady tells me to do, I'll do it?

[angelic_meister]

Yeah. For example, um...

Please hop five times on your right leg and say 'banana'.

1/2

[bestpapaeverr]

Oh, like this?

[Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.]

Banana.

Oh wait

[bestpapaeverr]

...

Much better.

[bestpapaeverr]

What'd you do to me?!
