Does anyone want to fight Ogres with me? I'm flying to the mountains tomorrow! Or, we could battle other creatures...

[Rubi sounds excited and looks quite disheveled. Leaves, bracken in his hair, torn shirt sleeve, a bit of vine clinging to his metal wings. He's been wandering in the woods again

I can't really fly, but I'll fight with you if you want!

[ yes this tiny boy is saying he'll fight with you... ]

[trashheap_angel]

[It sort of reminds him of meeting Salt.]

I can take you there! But, ogres are dangerous creatures...do you have a good weapon?

[soundstoned]

Haha don't worry about me! I can fight.

[ he appears to have a baseball bat on him at least... ]

I'm Ness, by the way.

[trashheap_angel]

Ah, you have a club... [Just noticing the bat, though yeah he's not sure what it is.] That will work.

My name is Rubi. It's good to meet you, Ness.

[ omg watching Rubi. WE HOPE HE EATS OUR CAKE........ ]

8D

[trashheap_angel]

[He's totally poking it still. Not sure why it's here, or where it came from. Maybe a fairy is hiding inside, etc etc.]

a look into the mind of your woobie boyfriend. only not really.

[mildmagnolia]

[ ...Rubi looks cute like this...

too bad he can't tell him to eat it without blowing his cover... ]

nope, he's too busy being a derp over here

[trashheap_angel]

[Rubi is still circling the cake, getting a bit of frosting on his hair. Some people are telling him to eat the newfound treat.

So he's staring at it, contemplating if he should.]

[desomnia]

... I didn't know cakes grew in the wild here..

[ She's staring --- this is pretty interesting! ]

[ video ]

[trashheap_angel]

They might. Cakes are very strange here.

[With people jumping out of them and all. He's still not entirely sure that won't happen with this one.

Staaaare.]

It isn't doing anything.

[desomnia]

[ For a few moments she quietly stares, making a slightly thoughtful sound to herself before she reaches a conclusion. ]

Maybe you should poke it with something.

[ video ]

[trashheap_angel]

All right!

[Suddenly, an enormous scythe appears in Rubi's slender hands. Overkill. He places the edge against the cake and gives it an awkward poke.

Nope. Nothing comes out except frosting and tasty-looking vanilla cake.]

It still isn't. Perhaps it really is a normal cake.

[voice]

[north_skie]

Find out who it belongs to I guess? As for fighting Ogres, what's in it for us?

[voice]

[trashheap_angel]

Ah. Perhaps someone did leave it here.

[That's just...odd, though no stranger than some other things Rubi can think of. But why in his croft? His attention shifts though, because more importantly:]

...you don't like to fight?

[voice]

[north_skie]

I like to fight but, fighting without a reason is wrong. [His master taught him that.]

As for the cake, hey, maybe it's for you. Why don't you ask Viktor?

[voice]

[trashheap_angel]

Practice is a reason, though! If you want, I can also show you where to find some iron there.

...Why wouldn't he tell me about it first?

[andallforone]

[Oh, jeeze. More people inside cakes deals? Yosuke sighs and opens his mouth to whine about that, but then he hears the questions and frowns.]

Uh... eat it, dude?

[video]

[trashheap_angel]

Should I?

[Okay, he is very tempted to eat it. It looks delicious after all, no matter how out of place.]

...but I wonder how it got here. [And if there's a fairy inside.]

[video]

[andallforone]

What, did it just show up? Or did one of your friends make it or what?

[video]

[trashheap_angel]

It could be... Viktor? He lives here with me, but wouldn't he eat the cake himself, if he made it?
