[ Today, you are having a perfectly normal day. Perhaps you are on your way to the battle dome. Perhaps you're walking home along the path. Perhaps you're in the middle of town. Or perhaps you're heading further north

[How about just running into a brick wall? Because that's kind of what it's like, to run into a preacher and a cross. My muscular torso is like a painful trampoline, y/n?]

Oh-

Xion?

[Sorry, people'll've been going missing so often, he can't keep track of when others are 'napped. He suddenly realizes you included.]

[poppetry]

[ ................. OW!!!!!

She's knocked flat on her butt and left pretty dazed. ] Ouch....

[ Give her a moment to recover, Wolfwood. You're far away the least forgiving thing she's run into all day! ]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Are you okay, kiddo?

[He puts a hand out to help her up, once she has her head on straight.]

If I'd known you decided to be a human missile, I would've kept an eye out to move out of your way.

[poppetry]

... Wolfwood?! [ Wow, she did not realize she had run into a person instead of A MOVING BRICK WALL.

She gives her head a shake, though, and smiles. It's really nice to see him, actually. --for the precise reason that's making her smile right now as she takes his hand and climbs back to her feet. ] I didn't decide anything like that! I just felt like I had to get away from something. The Malnosso must have... [ a pause, and then she shakes her head. Either way, I'm okay now. Sorry for running into you like that.

[not_a_bluesbro]

It's alright; just learned I'm great at stopping people with momentum. [He grins.] You're feeling okay, though? You run like it's your job, so I'm guessing nothing's hurt?

[GOTTA CHECK FOR SURE. You kids are always getting yourself into doom and discord, man.]

[poppetry]

Yeah! I mean, I'm fine. Really! [ She turns in place, showing off her undamaged arms and legs. Once she's facing him again, she shakes her head. ] I was actually just trying to get home. Though... [ She looks down at her bare feet, and wiggles her toes. ] ... I wish they'd left me with shoes.

[not_a_bluesbro]

You know what I think? I think the Malnosso are just secretly shoe hoarders. They kidnap us just to take them, the weird bastards. Bet they have a whole pile in a top secret room.

[poppetry]

[ ... she starts to laugh, a little helplessly, at the mental image. ] But what would they do with all of them? [ a beat ] Do you think they have a room for lost socks, too?

[not_a_bluesbro]

My Lord, I think you've figured out their plans. Clearly, we'll all just have to stop wearing shoes and socks.

[poppetry]

But then they'll start stealing other things! What if they come for our gloves next? [ Nevermind it's summer. She can't stop laughing. ]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Damn! No wonder they make us do crap for 'em-they're wrapped up in so many layers of clothing, they probably can't even roll.

[poppetry]

[ sdkjgahlsdhga give her a moment, she is legitimately laughing too hard to properly reply thanks to that mental image.

The things you do to this girl, Wolfwood. ]

I can't stop picturing them like giant marshmallows!

[not_a_bluesbro]

[Hey, it's not his fault you laugh at the drop of a dime. Xion makes this a pretty easy feat.]

Whelp, that settles it. Every time they pop up on screen to scare the crowd, I'll just picture them in a marshmallow-shaped blob of clothing.

[Seriously, is there nothing less terrifying than that?]

[poppetry]

[ It's not that!! You're just very entertaining!!!!!!!

Still, she comes back down to the land of just giggles, instead of raucous lols. ]

With a few extra pairs of shoes, for good measure! [ She griiiiiiins. ] I probably should go get cleaned up, though.

[not_a_bluesbro]

Oh, I see what you mean. You look like you've practically rolled home. [He points behind him, and his voice is light and humored.] Though, word of advice! When you're running, make sure you can see who's in front of you.
