[Great. Where the heck has Grune gotten to this time? He must have covered half the park by now and no sign of her.

Giles pauses as he passes by the bouncy castle. Maybe? No, those boots she always wears would put a hole in the place. Except it would probably be very easy to convince her to take off said shoes. And if she enjoyed the roller coaster...

...the sight of blonde hair through the bouncy castle windows gets his attention. Then he shakes himself, because he's getting as bad as Jack. Then Giles shakes himself again because no, that really is...]

Buffy!

[Have an ex-Watcher waving to get your attention. And, unbenownst to him, the droid's.]

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:30:20 UTC

Giles! [ she reciprocates some of the name-shouting and bounce-steps her way to the little arched entrance. the droids took a threatening step towards that same entrance. buffy mutters a few choice words insulting their nuts and bolts. ]

Giles, they're not letting me out.

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:32:27 UTC

They aren't? [He shifts into a defensive stance...old habits die hard, especially when the droids are being quite that threatening.] W-Well, um, why not? They've generally been making a nuisance of themselves keeping people out, not in.

[The one time he decides to go without a weapon...]

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:36:12 UTC

...Earlier, their little annoying tin voices said something about needing a price.

[ she waves giles' stance away. ] Don't bother. I bothered and I still couldn't get out.

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:37:55 UTC

Price? Oh, um...[He rummages around in his pocket before pulling out a handful of tokens. The handful is offered wordlessly to the droid.

...the handful is summarily rejected, the droid holding up one shovel sized hand in a decidedly dismissive gesture. Giles huffs in annoyance before pocketing the tokens.]

And Grune wonders why I enjoyed seeing them sawn in half...

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:40:34 UTC

[ buffy clucks her tongue. ]

Not so easy. Do me a favour, Giles? Try winning me one of those teddy bear tigers.

[ she gives such little context for this request. ]

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:41:56 UTC

Teddy bear tigers?

[What are you...oh. Those teddy bear tigers at that booth over there.

Grumbling:] You might have said.

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:43:11 UTC

Well? Why would I? It's embarrassing!

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:45:49 UTC

More or less embarrassing than being stuck in a bouncy castle like Rapunzel after an unfortunate hair cut?

[Fine, fine. Giles holds up his hands in surrender before hurrying off to the booth.

Ten minutes later, he's back with a teddy bear tiger doll under one arm. He looks from Buffy to the droids.]

Does this go to you, or are they that desperate not to be the ones skimming off the top?

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:50:19 UTC

Toss it here.

[ she holds up her hands -- anxious to see if this would indeed win her her freedom. ]

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:51:01 UTC

[Giles tosses it, giving the plushie an underarm boost towards Buffy at the bouncy castle door.]

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:53:17 UTC

[ and she catches it rather gracefully and yet the droids make no move. tentatively, she steps towards the entrance and...nope. denied.

she groans. ]

Great.

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 15:54:42 UTC

[Giles sighs.] Wonderful. I'm not sure I like this new sense of humor the Malnosso seem to have developed. [Between this, and having his flatmate turn up as a girl again...]

...the wrong sort of price or, um, insufficient quantities?

[Action] slaying August 22 2011, 15:58:14 UTC

The latter. I think. Maybe?

Try again?

Re: [Action] consultmybooks August 22 2011, 16:00:36 UTC

[Sigh. The plushie is laid carefully at the base of the castle. And off Giles goes again.

About half an hour of Bombchu bowling brings him back with a slightly bigger plushie, in the form of a snake-like dragon with a much too cheerful smile. It is set carefully next to the teddy bear tiger.]

Re: [Action] slaying August 22 2011, 16:06:35 UTC

[ one of the droids mercilessly kicks the dragon away -- it whirls off into the dirt. the meaning is clear. unacceptable . ]

Huh. [ but the second droid carefully -- almost reverently -- placed the tiger just inside the bouncy castle's entrance. ] So the same someone can't win one twice. That's...aggravating.
