part 348 candles in the lighthouse window

Hey meme! How are you doing? What is up? Do you also have a candle lit in your window for the return of Himaruya? ~~like anon who is a light house wife!~~ I hope he returns from the sea soon, with stories of adventure and sea monsters and the life outside the island. Ah, Himaruya. Safe journeys. Safe... journeys.

Enjoy part 348!

[That is certainly quite the beast. It's rather off-putting how causal Australia is.]

Are you serious? [Tiptoes over with great caution.]

[Um, um, her tail's trashing. Does that mean she's annoyed or what? Looks about and grabs a thick one.]

Australia I swear to God -

[Perhaps he's not being too casual and Hutt River is just being too serious about it. That question doesn't get a verbal reply but that grin says "yes", or as serious as he ever gets.]

[He nods in approval at that stick, still not really paying attention to that tail. It's more like she's thinking than anything else, though about what it's hard to say.]

No worries, got it all under-

[The crocodile decides at this point she's had enough, and lunges in Hutt River's direction before trying to get Australia away from her back.]

[Grasping the stick firmly, he takes another step closer to where Australia is, and raise it up in defense. The hairs on the back of his neck are standing attention.]

How can you say that with -

[He doesn't know where it went wrong but one minute the crocodile's being rather content and the next minute its lunging towards him.]

[Whoa, whoa!]

[Stumbles back and ends up falling flat on his back. Yikes, that's not very good.]

[That's the thing with crocs, they're very unpredictable. Either that or she decided to mess with them, which considering the wildlife on their continent is just as likely.]

[As starting positions for wrangling go, flat on his back is not a good one but not beyond salvaging. Soon as he sees her go he tries to grab her and stop her from going any further. It works, sort of, in that she's trying to bite him now as he wrestles her.]

Right, time for ya to - bugger - shine!

[Scrambles back to his feet and stands watching Australia for a moment. He's confused; what he's supposed to do? Are they supposed to be tag-teaming this beast?]

[Sees her tail thrashing about and goes after that. It's not easy (he gets smacked right in the kisser, ouch) but he does manage to get a grip and keeps it tight against himself.]

[Never mind the blood he tastes, is he doing this right?]

[Yes they're tag-teaming it, he thought that was the plan! Okay there was no plan but just roll with it.]

[Seeing Hutt River go for the tail after his hesitation is a relief. He'll save any jokes about a smack in the mouth being good for him until later, for now he's just focusing on getting a hold on her head as she thrashes about. When he gets enough of one he looks over.]

Good! Sure ya ain't do this before?

[This is the best sibling bonding ever! If he was drunk too, it'd be perfect.]

[Plan, what plan? He didn't say anything about a plan.]

[Spitting some blood, he keeps the tail at his chest and even yanks when the crocodile tries to pull herself away.]

N-No... I haven't-! [Whoa, whoa, she's being even more feisty!]

[He'll have to admit; this is probably the best he's had with Australia so far. Of course.]

[Okay, if he'd had one it would have been tag teaming it. Obviously.]

[That's a very manly way of dealing with that blood, he's impressed as he pins her head.]

Then ya must be a natural! Most first timers flee by now!

[While he's still holding onto her top half tight to stop her getting away, it's a lot easier as a two person job. And then an idea strikes.]

Fancy tryin' to lift her?

[They could totally do it, it'd look really ace.]

[Normally he would take the time to be flabbergasted that he's drawn blood and probably snap at Australia for it, but considering the teen-ager's holding down a very peeved crocodile's tail at the moment... - ]

[The comment makes his chest swell with a bit of pride. He's not lying; Hutt's lasting longer than he'd expected he would. Also maybe he should take back what he said about this sort of activity earlier because - ]

A-Are you sure we can lift this? [He knows Australia can lift. He's seen the older brunet carry thick gumtree trunks like they were children's toys. So what he's really saying here is that 'I can't possibly lift this'.]

[That would be the kind of reaction he'd expect normally, maybe he's finally relaxing a little! No backsies allowed, he's the best older brother and this is fun.

[That sounds more like a challenge to him than an expression of Hutt's doubts about his own strength, and he takes it in that spirit.]

What, are ya doubtin' me now? C'mon, ain't doing that badly!

[He starts lifting his part of her up anyway. Hold onto that tail!]

[Or maybe he's feeling the adrenaline rush. Or it could be both. Ahem. Not the best older brother. He's... bearable to stand.]

[Looks at Australia dumbly for a second and then at the crocodile. He really thinks he can lift this humongous animal? There's still a bit doubt within him , but that quickly changes when her tail pops him right in the mouth again. Hit me once, shame on me. Hit me twice, shame - on - you - !]

[With a angry grunt, he lifts as well and holy cow he's lifting up a crocodile!]

Edited (For the ? my bad!) 2014-02-13 22:07 (UTC)

[Adrenaline's good like that, it accounts for a lot of the things he does.Same difference to him.

[The crocodile might be flailing a bit as they lift her up, but up she goes! It's amazing what a rush of blood in anger can do. Or from the mouth in this case. Either way, the result draws a cheer from him as they hold onto her.]

Told ya! Shame we can't take a snap, nice addition to the album right?

[Mum would be so proud! Or not, considering the closest they have to one is England and he'd just call them idiots for doing this.]

[Is that how he goes about the day? Aussie you adrenaline-junkie.]

[Huffing, there's probably a shaky laugh here and there, but it's not fearful or nervous. It's more likely astonishment to his own strength and ability.]

I-Incredible...! [Yes, yes, his mouth will probably hurt like Hell later, though.]

[When has England ever not call someone an idiot? That word is probably his favourite one out of the entire language.]

[That laugh makes him laugh too, maybe a tiny bit breathless but mostly excited. A good wranglin' job livens up any day.]

...Should we take her somewhere? Like Kiwi's house?

[Without telling him, naturally. He'd like a crocodile in the house! He should know better, New Zealand's revenge is always much worse than whatever he did.]

[So true. Especially when wild animals are involved. Really, who doesn't like spiders in their bed?]

[What.]

I... I don't think that's a good idea. [It's hard enough getting her off the ground and having her tail smacking him nonstop, now you want to move her?]

How about we, I don't know, drop her in a river? Unless you want to keep her as a pet.

[Hutt doesn't. Neither does New Zealand. Or England. Or anyone. Australia, do you... do you sleep with spiders in your sheets?]

[Someone doesn't share his love of annoying his other brothers he sees.]

Be good for a laugh though!

[But it is kinda far to carry her on reflection, even with two nations doing it, so maybe not.]

Ah, river or billabong's best. Don't think the others would like a new arrival!

[As in, his koala gets very jealous over new pets and he doesn't want to upset him. Not intentionally since he's grown up (allegedly) but if they appear he's happy to see them as long as they behave. Not weird at all.]

[Why continue such a vicious cycle? Besides he'd rather not have an New Zealander at his doorstep.]

I'll pass, thank you.

[Spits a little more blood. Yeah, that's definitely going to hurt later.]

Well it's better than nowhere.

[But she's a crocodile... she could easily - then again, that koala is quite... strange. Two peas in a pod. Australia... dear God.]
