third dance ♯ action

[neverwounda]

[today it is a very sunny day in the bungalow district, and you will probably see snakes. not any small number of snakes, mind you, but a rather large gathering of them, apparently sunbathing, and one scaled man contentedly sitting with them

[potentiaregere]

Glad to see you're making more friends each day.

[neverwounda]

[startles, then looks a little embarrassed.]

. . . They're friendlier than the natives here, says Wilde.

[potentiaregere]

That's not surprising.

[moving closer and sitting next to him]

[neverwounda]

[shifting over a little to make more room for him!

one of the snakes stretched out on his lap twists slightly, eyeing(?) ciel and flicking its tongue. snake looks down at it as if in response to its actions. huh, really?]

[belovedoutsider]

...Just how many snakes do you have?

[neverwounda]

[c-company. he looks up at her, apparently considering something. but after a moment, he does speak;]

. . . Most are just friends, says Boswell.

[belovedoutsider]

And do your friends always speak for you?

[neverwounda]

They aren't speaking for me, says Wilde.

[patchworkdoctor]

... [That is a scaled man. Stein decides to get closer.]

Who is Jane?

[neverwounda]

[. . . looks at him for a moment, as if to appraise him. but points to a snake blissfully stretched out in his lap, as she is too busy relaxing to indicate who she is herself.]

This one is Jane, says Wilde.

[patchworkdoctor]

And who's Wilde? [He leans a little closer.]

[neverwounda]

[... leaaans away, motioning to another relaxing snake.]

[silversouled]

[ holy crap that is a lot of Ekans in one place. ]

... Aren't snakes usually poisonous?

[neverwounda]

Yes, says Webster.

[silversouled]

So you're not getting bitten?

[neverwounda]

There is no need to bite your companions, says Wilde.

[ Being the little kid she is, Akane was simply wondering around from district to district. She was still searching for the Music Box Girl but has stopped going at it with full force. Her curious eyes were all over the place, so it was hard for her to miss the pile of snakes. In her little mind, this made sense. Pile of snakes + around man = Snake onii-chan ]

Snake onii-chan! Hi!

[neverwounda]

[he turns his head toward her when he recognizes her voice. he almost speaks, but falls silent for a moment; what was it again...? and finally, with some hesitation;]

. . . Akane... chan. Hello, says Wilde.

[rp_publications]

[ She looks at the snakes slithering around him. There seems to be a lot more than last time. Her eyes then rests on the neglected bag next to him. ]

What's in the bag?

[neverwounda]

[he glances at... the bag... oh. evidently, he's just remembered it exists.]

. . . My errand, says Boswell.
