[Red isn't sure what to make of this strange new land he's found himself in, but he knows he probably shouldn't stop moving. Or stop pushing the object in front of him. Walking down the road by the sea, the skinny boy has a hand against a large boulder and is casually pushing it as he walks. The other hand is hanging by his side, clenched into a

[Green was kind of hoping for a casual day, walking around with a smoothie in hand and Eevee prancing up front, but having a Red come in immediately ruins those plans]

[Except this is kind of weird to see Red push a freaking boulder like it's a pebble. Cue choking on his smoothie]

What the-

[fadingsounds]

[Surprisingly, Red's not paying attention to his immediate surroundings. He's keeping an eye on the ocean, on the path behind him, and occasionally on his own feet when he gets tired of swerving off of the beaten path he's been following.

He doesn't notice the other boy until he speaks - and even then, there's a moment of cocking his head and trying to figure out what direction the sound came in. When he does spot him - well, he freezes.]

[givespoisonoak]

[...Okay. Green just stares back at him. At least this seems to recognize who he is, though his reaction makes Green wonder if this boulder-pushing thing is something he's not supposed to know about. Too late for that]

...Yo.

[fadingsounds]

[A slight frown crosses the dark haired teen's face, brows furrowing. That's... That's...]

Green. [Yes. Yes - yes that was.]

[givespoisonoak]

Nice to know you still remember me. [He gives a cocky smirk despite how bizarre the situation is. Boy, he hopes this isn't another unstable Red; they're a total handful to deal with, and Green can't just walk away from them - much to his annoyance]

You taking that somewhere? ['That' being the massive boulder, of course, but Green will point anyway just to clarify]

[fadingsounds]

[Unstable is a pretty broad spectrum. This Red is simply staring at you like he's trying to place you properly... There might even be some sort of awkward, strained, 'i sort of forgot how to do this' tiny smile on his face.

-- but at the mention of the boulder that expression is quickly replaced by a far more serious one. He glances back down and remembers himself, giving it a hard shove. To his relief, it starts moving again] Can't stop.

[givespoisonoak]

[A smile? Seriously? Not many Reds are all that happy to see him. It nearly throws Green off, but then the boulder-pushing snaps him out of it]

You could, I don't know, stop pushing it in the first place. [He walks closer, just to make sure this isn't all some trick]

[fadingsounds]

Can't stop.

[Nope, that boulder is moving. You can see the trail it's made leading back to where he woke up.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Come on, it can't be that hard. Green quickly inspects the scene; this looks legit, so Red must have quite a history to be able to do this. Or he's just secretly an alien. It's just as likely]

Need me to push you into the ground?

[fadingsounds]

[It would explain the silence and the creepy staring. Though he's casting you a doubtful glance. Seriously, rival? That eyebrow quirk says he doubts that you could do this.

... then again he probably weights just over ninety pounds soaking wet, so maybe you could.]

[givespoisonoak]

[It's a certainly a possibility. Green is obviously frowning at Red's rather skinny state; he knows there's not much to live on in the mountains, but geez, it looks like a light breeze could blow Red away. But, Green refuses to let motherly instincts kick in and drag Red somewhere to feed him - at least, he'll try to refuse]

Don't tell me something horrible will happen if you stop pushing that rock. What, will the island sink or something?

[fadingsounds]

No.

[He's not looking at the other boy now, he's focusing on his feet. Because his feet don't question why they need to move, they know why.]

[givespoisonoak]

So...

[You are so irritating. Green will just angrily chew on the straw in his smoothie. He'll never fully understand Red]

You're such a weirdo.

[fadingsounds]

[Actually, that is going to make him smile. And possibly let out a single scratchy sounding laugh.]

... Not.

[givespoisonoak]

[Two smiles in five minutes? What on earth is Green doing. Well, that's not so bad, so might as well keep it up. He elbows Red in the side - jokingly and much gentler than when he did that as a kid]

You're totally a weirdo. The biggest one here.

[fadingsounds]

[Nostalgia is nice. He's pretty sure that this is a hallucination, or some hypnosis - yet he's not taking the chance that this isn't.]

... ... Strongest, too.
