[open] Cow.

[convictionary]

Who: Gaius and various and assorted people.
When: 5/11
Where: Gresser
What: Cows
Rating: S for stupid, probably with some light curses and terrible metaphors.

RANDOM ENCOUNTER:

[And that was when Gaius turned to his companion(s), warming to the story.] So the second ham was tossed into the air and the juggler reached for the torc-

[And that was when a small herd of goats ran past them.

...

There's probably something chasing the distressed goats, huh. (Hint: it's probably a bear.)]

COW:

["Moo," said the cow, distressed. There was three of them, tired, wary, staring at the heroes who likely stared back at them. Gaius stared, at least, though who knows...maybe his companion had a natural instinct for tending to cows and was running to care for them. He hesitated.] What are we getting for this, again?

OBLIGATORY MISSION AFTERMATH:

[Because they are and he looks tired and vaguely done right now. He is going to order a sundae with some fruit he never heard of because he can.]

Comments

[convictionary]

[He looks at her...

...then he seriously looks at her and waves her over to take a seat while he waves over someone or another in wherever they are to bring over a second Emergency Sundae, he'll buy.

She looks tired enough that he'll buy. Take the chocolate.]

You look like you seen better days.

[hoasen]

[And she sits down, tired just like he is, and nearly flops over if not for the fact that she needs to make space for the really delicious looking sundae.

He's too good to her! She needs to buy him something later.]

I certainly agree to that. Training did not go as planned, even though it is an exciting development. [Because Alice is going to be very powerful after this.] What of yourself? Did something happen in Gresser?

[convictionary]

Cows. [But that's not important. The memory of strawberry scented farts and delicate cherry cow pies (or the closest setting equivalent to those fruits thereof) will haunt him, but no, that's not what's important. She gets a stare. The spoon hangs in his mouth as he eats and swallows, takes out the spoon, and, disbelieving-]

You mean you went to that...thing that was posted? [Of your own free will??? The one which invited certain death or whatever???

He thought you were a S, not an M.]

[hoasen]

Cows...ah. [She was here for the cows too, but then seeing his expression? It seems like worst may have happened along the way.] So it was not really a simple search and herd?

[She nods slowly after.] I did. It wasn't completely terrible, fortunately. I may have just had good training partners.

[LOOK!!! Sometimes...you bend for more power...]

[convictionary]

Gods. [You crazy, crazy, crazy madwoman.] So, how many people died?

[Nobody, but still. Masochist.]

They had you running laps while some magicker type flung spells at your heels?

[hoasen]

[Give her a minute, she needs to remember if anyone really did actually die.] ...Not anyone I noticed. [She may have nearly died with Allelujah up on a cliffside though.

And wow!!!]

Thankfully not. We just went off with others and trained however we liked. It was more of a group gathering rather than a class.

[convictionary]

[ . . . ]

How many people did you notice?

[...that was badly worded but she should get the point.]

[hoasen]

[Good thing she does get it!]

Around fifteen. Possibly more. I wasn't around them all most of the time. My training often brought me further away. But there was one that was a little...unnatural, compared to the rest. This is why I am so tired.

[convictionary]

...unnatural?

[That just sounds dirty and when he later hears rumors of her and Bolin through the grapevine he'll then go, "Oh, so she means the horizontal tango...who knew Bolin had it in him."] You're making me real glad I wasn't anywhere near that thing.

[hoasen]

[TOO BAD SHE MEANT ALICE'S COMB'S POWERS. And...oh so that's the rumour that's going to be spread around. Who knows who is going to have the bigger heart attack. Her, or Bolin.]

Honestly, it probably was a good thing that you didn't. It was a good idea in practice. Perhaps the next one, they will have a better idea what to do.

[convictionary]

Still gonna pass. I like my knobby bits where they are, safe as houses.

[...]

Who in all the gods names went to that thing besides you?
