So just to make sure: these damn ants show up every year, and every year everyone's gotta go into hiding down here in the Wilderness so they don't get eaten, right?

Oi. Genius. I need to talk to you.

Kiba, you got a minute?

[man_genius]

Yeah no.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh, good. That makes things much easier!

[man_genius]

Geez man-friend. I'm not five or brain damaged. Lay off on the mad babysitter act.

[spandexisyouth]

I am not trying to babysit you. I am trying to "have your back!"

[man_genius]

[He hesitates for a moment. The ease at which Youth comes out and says kind things always throws him]

I would say 'And I have yours' but then Bell will come in and say something lewd.

[spandexisyouth]

He would. But I know what you mean! So I am glad of that.

[pimpcoatbankai]

That wasn't a question.

Kagerou says you're working on something to fight the ants.

[man_genius]

[Kagerou eh?]

I was.

[pimpcoatbankai]

Yeah. And you need someone fast to test it.

That would be me.

[man_genius]

...Why would you test it if everyone is safe and sound in the wilderness?

[pimpcoatbankai]

Because there's no guarantee they can't get in, is there?

[man_genius]

[Curse your logic, Touchy]

Sure but at the most it would be only one or two ants that I'm sure guys like Youth and Bell could take care of easily. Can't you just ride Splash Mountain like everyone else?

[pimpcoatbankai]

No, I can't. Not when people are getting hurt here and you have something that can stop that.

[man_genius]

Look I'm gonna try to say this as plainly and as neutral as I can.

This magical weapon is just a super soaker filled with 3/4 ammonia, 1/4 water...and some sugar because normal fire ants are protein eaters and thus they avoid sugar. I disabled the pressure release valve for a stronger and faster spray but at the most the guns only hold about a liter--that's not enough water to destroy an army of giant man eating ants for simple people. You can't be some grand hero and save the day with the supplies we got. I only meant for the guns to be used as a defensive weapon, not an offensive one.

[carefully smudged over, guiltily, after a moment]

[weaver_girl]

I'm sorry. I didn't know you two didn't get along.
