[Like the others not in the tunnels or otherwise in hiding and/or standing their ground, Marco is flinging himself at the moon. Unlike the others, it's not out of some noble purpose or try to to push it back, or even because he's all that godly. Nope. He just wants to kick it. Why? BECAUSE IT IS THERE. And if he's going to die by being

[It won't be hard for Marco to spot Kazooie, angrily attacking the moon as she is. She's still bedecked by the Bunny Hood, and even now it's affecting her, making her motions quick and agile and letting her jumps and Gliding get her closer to the Moon, close enough to make passes at it even if she can't quite Fly.

During a moment where she lands, just long enough to catch her breath, she might notice her fellow psycho bird person.]

This darn moon has to have a weak point somewhere! Think kicking it'd actually work?

[Action] ;3;

[talontrot]

Planning on kicking its butt! [And her legs slam into the moon's pockmarked surface, claws outstretched.

The shock of the hit goes through her whole body, and for one irrepressible moment she's rattling to her cartoony core, nearly splatted on the surface of the moon.

Then she, too, is falling back, jarred from the impact.]

Pah! That thing is tough!

[Action] *pet*

[fierybluebird]

I don't think it can be beat up. It gets beat up all the time, it's pretty strong, eh.

[Action] <3!

[talontrot]

... Guess so. [Kazooie passes the moon a baleful glance.] So what're we gonna do with this stupid thing then? We can't just let it hit without doing anything...

[Maybe close-quarter Grenade Eggs?]

[Action] <33333

[fierybluebird]

Why not? We can't stop it either, might as well just enjoy it while we can.

[Action]

[talontrot]

But a hero can't lie there while stuff like this is happening!

[Even though that's exactly what she's done before. But never while she was in danger!]

I gotta do something... [And so she spits a Grenade Egg against the moon's surface. Which of course doesn't even scratch it.]

... Argh!

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Fighting the wind doesn't make it stop blowing.

[Action]

[talontrot]

But...!

[... She's not used to utter, total defeat like this. And she isn't a rational person to begin with.]

Banjo wouldn't let me give up...

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Banjo? [Sideglance. Fighting for nakama's sake against overwhelming odds is always worth it.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

He's... my sidekick. Another hero like me. And... and if he was here, he'd tell me to help everybody. He wouldn't want me to back down.

[Not even when the odds are against her...]

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

[Sidekick... BLEH. Back to sounding like a marine. Which means Marco's losing faith and interest.]

Got any other ideas?

[Action]

[talontrot]

[Maybe Marco will one day learn that "sidekick" is the equivalent of "nakama" to Kazooie.]

...

[But instead of answering, she shrugs her wings helplessly.]

I dunno...

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

[Maybe someday!]

Then what would Banjo do?

[Action]

[talontrot]

I guess he'd say to not give up and try harder... but how much can we do?

[Action]

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes it's not really about trying harder, just finding a better path.

[Action]

[talontrot]

[One that works. Unlike this one.]

... Well, I don't know if there is one.

I mean, it's a big rock with an ugly face. What do we do?
