ACTION

[diceyhips]

[sup guess who's sitting on a fence watching him run away from that

.....weird animal. thing.

this chick, right here, who has a big gold bug hovering by her head.]

OH HEY 1/2

[greatbigrock]

[Hey, you don't get to complain about animal ... things ... when you have a big mutant bug oh wait he has one of those too, what is he talking about.]

[Actually he's not talking about anything because he is WAY TOO BUSY RUNNING.]

2/3 I LIED

[greatbigrock]

[...he'll come back that way on his second lap or whatever though, without the bull in sight! Ha-ha!]

[Wait who is that]

[girl on the ... fence......]

3/3

[greatbigrock]

[OHH it's Chel Dorado!]

[Man, he hasn't seen her for over a year, and now he's totally berating himself about ever forgetting about dose hips and dat hair and dat bamfy attitude.]

[Totally pretending he wasn't just heaving over gasping for breath a moment ago and quickly smoothing himself out and offering her his trademark WELL THEN-face.]

Hey hey. When did you decide to show up?

[...did you see him running like a loser?]

[action!]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's just been wandering around encountering all sorts of weirdness, and oh look there's someone being chased by a killer bull--]

[Is that Tulio? Hmm, maybe he should do something. Maybe. This is pretty funny, actually.]

[It's not long at all before Tulio will find Envy running alongside him, keeping pace with absolutely no effort and looking amused.] What'd you do to piss this one off?

[greatbigrock]

[H- WHAT- ENVY YOU ARE SUCH A JERK.]

[CUT THAT OUT. >:C]

I- [breaaathing] I didn't do ANYTHING! It came out of nowhere!

[Cut him some slack, Envy, bulls magically hate him forever. ...also you're not helping. COME ON.]

[exeggutorhead]

[YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HIM TULIO.]

I'm sure. You want some help? [ :D ]

[Don't worry he was going to help you anyway. You are not allowed to get trampled, man. He's considering just...literally grabbing the bull by the horns and throwing it, but what if it breathes fire or something in his face? What to do, what to do...]

[greatbigrock]

[THERE ARE DAYS HE'S NOT SO SURE.]

Yes, I want some help!

[Ohgod that bull is so big and also not normal, although to be fair it's at least better than if there'd been a dozen of them or something...]

Whenever is good for you!

[/sarcasm]

ACTION

[used_glare]

{Hi, Tulio. Guess who's floating alongside you with no apparent trouble at all?}

Bulls really don't seem to like you or Miguel, do they.

[greatbigrock]

[D< first Envy and now you, Nanao, geez, why must you tease the poor man like that? You both KNOW he's only human.]

[He's not even going to answer her, he's just going to LOOK REALLY STARTLED, let out a really unmanly squeak and turn to run into a side alley where the bull hopefully won't follow.

HELP?]

she is so chill

[used_glare]

{Unfortunately, this bull is a heck of a lot more agile than the ordinary ones, and manages to make the turn into the side alley.}

...that's not terribly good, is it.

{Tell me, how does Tulio feel about flying?}

he is not sure if want

[greatbigrock]

[Tulio feels rather unsafe about flying, but he feels better about flying than being run flat into the ground.]

[Cause of, you know. REASONS.]

Action!

[onahighhorse]

[So at some point after Tulio got away from that bull, he's going to run into someone much worse.]

[Someone who recognizes him.]

Well, well, well. One of the stowaways.

this is amazing and terrible all at once

[greatbigrock]

[There are absolutely not words for the look on Tulio's face.]

[Thing is, he'd forgotten about this man. Well, not altogether - that's near impossible. But he hasn't thought about him for a long time now and when he runs into him in the flesh, it takes him a moment to recognise him.]

[But when he does, he freezes immediately, swallowing hard against what's apparently suddenly lodged in his throat.]

[And starts to slowly back away. He doesn't even have any words.]

[He's really, really scared.]

yeah, pretty much

[onahighhorse]

[Cortez will counter that backing away by reaching to grab Tulio's shoulder with no small amount of force. Tulio is not only still a criminal that needs to be locked up, but he's a criminal who looks like he kind of knows what this place is, and Cortez wants answers.]

Don't think you'll escape so easily. Where's the other one?

[greatbigrock]

[Oh. Oh, god. He doesn't want to try to twist away too soon, but he'll have to keep an eye out ... need to see when Cortez lets his guard down, even if just for a little while ... and then run some more.]

[Much more.]

[He'd take the bull over Cortez any day.]

He's not here-- [And he has to resist the urge to come with a smartass comment, he really does, so he stops and finishes lamely:] ...señor.

[He's all kinds of twitchy though. He doesn't really dare to look up properly. He just wants to RUN.]

Action

[nasa_dreams]

[DID SOMEONE CALL FOR A HERO? Because Danny is here! And he may or may not be shooting ice beams at that Boufalant's legs to stop it.]

[greatbigrock]

[Oh yes! Yes this is very welcome! It takes Tulio a while to even understand what's happening, but once the Bouffalant has a leg incased in ice and he's actually OUTRUNNING IT, like ... a LOT, he stops to turn.]

[He has no idea what to even call what the boy is doing, but he's doing to stop and stare and ROOT FOR HIM.]

[Careful though Danny, that bull is turning your way now. Despite being much slower those horns are still a good idea to stay clear of!]

[nasa_dreams]

[Psh, like I need to worry. Imma just let that thing run at me and go intangible so it phases right through me at the last second.]

Gonna have to try harder than that!

[greatbigrock]

[OOHHH that's a neat trick. Tulio will just let his mouth hang open for a second while he's watching on the sidelines, getting his breath back.]

[... the bull is confused. :c What did you do. What. That wasn't supposed to happen.]

[BETTER TRY AGAIN..?]
