part 335 summer nights (tell me more tell me more)

[aphanon_meme]

Like did he have a car? Dodo--dodo--dodo... yeah! How is your July going so far, meme? Good? Bad? Okay? Scrumtrulescent? ... Question mark? This is a very rambling post today, I'm sorry, I'm in a tired rush. A tired tired summer rush. Which, in my professional opinion, is the most annoying kind of rush. I prefer a crisp winter rush! But oh well.

Enjoy part 335!

Certainly so. [ he looks over at his own gun -- ] I could set this up this better there, too...

...From what I remember, it is quite accurate in aim and good for shooting from a long distance. We could defend ourselves from approaching enemies using this if we must.

[ and... well, if Monaco became his temporary ally, that was one less person who'd try and kill him, too. ]

[notunaforyou]

[ As he starts to speak, she shakily stands up from where she's sitting beneath a tree and begins to slowly walk back toward the bush where she dropped her gun. It's too dark to see it, though. ]

[ But she stops maybe ten feet away, having determined that that sheep corpse isn't something she wants to get any closer to than she absolutely must. She's still not listening entirely, but rather humming and nodding at appropriate times. ]

It would be for the best, then.

[ Swallows, turning back to look at him and smiling almost guiltily. ]

But I don't know where my gun went.

[jipangu]

[ you'll forgive him for his wary gaze, right? ]

It would probably be best to leave for zone C6 right away, unless you insist on searching for it...?

[ at least he could guard her if she did, but he isn't really liking that idea. The longer they stay out in the open, too many things could go wrong. ]

[notunaforyou]

I'd like to find it, if you don't mind.

[ A small, nervous laugh. ]

I would hardly be much of an ally without it, after all.

[ She knows he's just going to cut her free if she proves herself to be dead weight, and without a gun, she's likely to become just that very quickly. Or simply just dead, but she'd rather not think about that. ]

If you'd like to go ahead without me, I would understand, but this should only take a few minutes...

[jipangu]

[ ... ] [ a longer pause, before he nods with a small sigh. ]

Then I will wait a few minutes, Monaco-san, but if you need more time, I will go on ahead. You may meet with me later, if that is the case...

[notunaforyou]

This shouldn't take long, I just--

[ Haltingly takes another step toward the sheep corpse before stopping again. Even though it looks dead, she really just doesn't want to get near it. ]

[ Takes a deep breath to steel herself against the idea of moving any closer to that monster, dead or not. ]

This will only take a few moments. Please don't leave without me.

[ And she steps carefully back into what she thinks is her bush to look for her gun. ]

[jipangu]

[ and he'll wait for a few minutes, like he said he would. ]

[ ...giving another sigh when they pass. Should he go on ahead after all? ]

Monaco-san, if you are having difficulty finding it...? [ may he leave -- ]

[notunaforyou]

[ She thought she'd dropped it right here... Where is it? Why can't she find it?! ]






[ She doesn't really know how to say this, but-- ]

I can't find it at all.

[jipangu]

[ ...he had a feeling. ]

May I go on ahead, in that case?

If it helps, I will not leave the Starbucks without meeting with you there first, Monaco-san...

[notunaforyou]

[ She thought she was dropping enough hints that she'd like some help, but now she's just confused and getting upset. She'd left it right here, hadn't she? ]

Don't leave--

[ Scurries out of the bushes and back over toward him, not wanting him to just take off into the darkness without her. ]

...Perhaps I could...return to find it in the morning?

[ With you, she means. You and the machine gun. ]

[jipangu]

[ ...Oh. His gaze meets hers directly, and he nods after a long moment -- ]

That might be fine...

[notunaforyou]

[ She's not entirely sure she likes the sound of that answer. It's not a definite yes, and that's never a good thing, especially coming from Japan. ]

I would really appreciate it if we could...

[ Trails off, figuring it won't help much right now. Any convincing of this sort is probably best done in the relative safety of Not the Jungle at Night. ]

I suppose we should go now, though... Staying out here probably isn't the best idea.

[jipangu]

Yes, of course...

[ he'll position his gun carefully again, before nodding to her -- ]

Stay close, Monaco-san.

[ just in case... he has to use it. ]

[ ...and begins leading the way out of the jungle, leaving the tentacle sheep behind. ]

[notunaforyou]

[ Gives a weak, self-conscious laugh. It's dark and she's jumpy and bound to get lost fairly quickly if she doesn't pay attention. Goodness, this game is inconvenient. ]

I'll try my best.

[ ...and off they go. ]

[br_undertaker]

[appears after they have left, walks up to the dead octosheep and rubs his helmet, unsure]

[he doesn't want to bury it with the others (what if his tree doesn't like it?)... but where else?]

Ah! I know!

[smirks and moves in on the body]

[he'll bury this one above the slide kid - let's see if she'll still come back to life if she has to go through a demonic kraken sheep first]
