[11th stain on the bathrobe|backdated to before the rain]

[Who's out on the edge of the village? It's Arthur. He's doing something quite peculiar looking. He runs at nothing in particular, then trips and falls into the tall grass, adding more dirt to the robe. He gets up, brushes himself off, repeats the process several more times, getting more and more dirty until he seems to give up, starts walking back ( Read more... )

[Sees Arthur acting strangely and flies over to see what he's up to and arrives just in time to see him take off!]

A-Arthur!? [Flies up to catch up with him] I didn't know you could fly!

Oh, yeah I guess I ca-aaaaaaah!

[Salt's announcement causes him to plummet back to earth and hit the dirt, a stone hidden in the grass hitting him in the kidney.]

ARTHUR!!! [Quickly flies back down to him and darts around in a panic!] Are you alright?? Are you hurt? Should I go look for help?

[Arthur sits up and groans, rubbing his back.]

I'm alright, mate. Just a side effect of the way it works.

... you sure? You did fall from quite high.

[Action] sandwichofdoubt October 17 2009, 03:40:59 UTC

Yeah, i'm alright. [He gets up slowly, dusting himself off, feeling his middle age.] You've got those wings. The rest of us 'ave to make do with cheating the laws of physics.

[Action] sun_trumpet October 17 2009, 07:45:00 UTC

Oh, okay...

... how did you do that though?

[Action] sandwichofdoubt October 18 2009, 21:56:48 UTC

It's easy. [Arthur grins a little.] All you've got to do is fall and forget to hit the ground.

[Action] sun_trumpet October 19 2009, 14:34:29 UTC

... huh? [Because you've seriously lost him there...]

Gravity's a fickle...Well no 'a', gravity's just fickle. [Can't swear in front of the little guy, after all.]

If you forget to think about hitting the ground, a lot of the time it won't happen at all. Like in those cartoons where Yosemite Sam goes walking off the cliff an' doesn't fall until he looks down.

[Action] sun_trumpet October 19 2009, 18:35:34 UTC

I never knew that... but Saga said the things that happen in cartoons aren't real.

Not where you come from. But we've got bloody cookie monster here, so you can't really count on all that much. [He says it with a resigned voice. He's used to having to deal with the unbelievable by now.]

[Action] sun_trumpet October 20 2009, 16:35:58 UTC

... cookie monster?

[Action] sandwichofdoubt October 20 2009, 17:33:08 UTC

Yeah, did they have that show where you come from?

[Action] sun_trumpet October 20 2009, 18:03:36 UTC

I dunno. I don't really watch TV. We only watch it from time to time when Saga's watching it when we visit her.
