Poking the Tiger

scattered-scientist:

[ * He just a no-good rowdy boy- ]

[ * It’s time for a good ol’ bone to the face. He summons one, and although it is magic based, it’s more solid this time around- probably meant solely for poking and/or bashing. Without mercy or sympathy for the other’s situation, he sharply jabs it in the direction of Flaps’ face in attempt to wake him up. ]

[ * Not so loud; we don’t want to disturb the guard dog quite yet. ]

📝 [REALLY NAUGHTY!!!]

📝 [That earns him a rather big, growly whine as Flaps is so rudely jolted awake. He’s quick to recoil, a paw covering his snoot – and he peers down at Pathos, glowering slightly. He evidently doesn’t recognize the other at all, but he isn’t moving to attack quite yet….]

📝 [He just looks Deeply upset by this. How Could You? Please Explain Yourself?]

Poking the Tiger

scattered-scientist:

[ * Well now, ain’t that convenient. And a new narrator as well! This is gonna be fun. ]

[ * Something deep within is gnawing at him, like this isn’t the best idea in the world. It might not be, but he’s not one to turn down a good time. He’s a bit surprised to see Room sleeping; doesn’t this mean that they’re just resting? It’s possible he’ll get kicked out as soon as he provokes Flaps… Hm. ]

[ * Either way, he’s off to go searching, and because the narrator isn’t the best at picturing locations and directions, it pleads with the fellow new narrator to guide our misguided protagonist here to his destination fairly quickly. ]

📝 [Ain’t it just. Hopefully it is fun!]

📝 [You’re a naughty boy, Pathos, but since I’m so kind…. I’ll give you this one.]

📝 [Right to the right of the door is a staircase – it sounds like a loud rumbly snoring coming from down there. It should be fairly easy to find his way to the sleeping dragon, following the sound down.]

📝 [When he IS found, it’s clear that he is indeed fast asleep. All curled up in the corner…. He looks pretty peaceful, really. You sure you wanna do this, bud….]

Hey, don’t worry, Runiel, you don’t have to keep us updated 24/7. You’re doing your best, that’s all that matters. Also, you can’t report on anything when there’s nothing happening! Speaking of events going on, do you think there’s anyone you know of that could help Flaps? Or will we just have to wait this magic out?

* { i… really don’t know. }

* { i even rejoined that old chat that we had left to try and see if i might be able to get some help, but. i was met with animosity pretty quickly and everyone else has far more pressing matters to deal with so it was a bit of a moot point overall. }

* { i don’t know what’ll break it entirely, but. he does seem a lot more docile than he was, so…. at least that’s progress. }

Yeah…SP definitely isn’t the greatest person either. Flaps is so kind to still believe in someone like him…but I think he can get better with time. At least he’s not as bad as Eight. What do you think, Runiel? Do you believe in him as Flaps does, or is Flaps’ belief misplaced?

* { he’s like a brother to me, i don’t think it’s misplaced whatsoever. he’s misguided and… a couple other things, but. he’s family. }

Runiel if you had the choice, would you go back to the life you had before you became what you are now? Would you accept anon magic to do so for a brief amount of time? Would it make you happy, or would it cause more trouble for you and the ones you briefly have to leave?

* { the entire voidspace would likely collapse. }

* { my home is here. if i came back to where i had been i can only imagine that things wouldn’t end well, considering i died. }

* { . or. i’m. pretty sure i died. i don’t really know for sure. }

* { bottom line – yes, it would make things worse and i’d rather not have to try and deal with that. }

I think you and Flaps ought to find a way to take a vacation from the Void and go somewhere else. That way, you’ll find people who don’t know you and won’t be scared of you, and you won’t be pressured to solve everyone’s problems for them!

* { wouldn’t work. we’d both be too busy worrying about what was going on here to actually relax. }

* { besides – we can’t leave. we’ve been TRYING to get ourselves detached safely from this space, at the very least, but that hasn’t been making any headway. }

((For when Runi wakes up!)) Do you and Flaps still hate Geist? Have your opinions on him changed over time? I heard he’s going to try to bring Cubesy back to life, and it seems the way he’s going about it is ethical, if not potentially dangerous and possibly fruitless…

* { we don’t, no. we’ve attempted to reconcile with him – well. flaps has, at least. it went pretty well. }

* { i know about what he’s planning, though, yeah. it’s not within my jurisdiction to do anything about it. }
