Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

Sure thing! Watch this.

[Ochako backs off and moves to the slightly deeper water, kicking her legs and using her arms to move herself around. She swims about like someone who knows what she's doing.]

See what I mean?

[foxpas]

[She nods, before splashing in after her and copying Ochako's movements exactly.

... It doesn't work quite as well for her being much taller and solid muscle, but she's managing to get around anyway.]

I get it now!

[willynilly]

[Ochako lets herself float to watch, then beams, clapping her hands together above the surface.]

Yeah! Just like that! How's it feel?

[foxpas]

... I feel I appreciate ships much more now.

[willynilly]

Hm? What, you can't imagine swimming across an ocean?

[foxpas]

I can, and that is the problem.

[willynilly]

...I'm not sure I get it.

[She does not, at all.]

[foxpas]

It would be exhausting and terrifying, and frankly I do not believe myself equal to the challenge.

[willynilly]

Oh my gosh, you were serious?!

[Who goes for a swim and then thinks about crossing an ocean!? What the heck, this girl is unreal.]

[foxpas]

Should I have not been?

[HER LIFE IS KIND OF CRAZY LIKE THAT OK]

[willynilly]

[CLEARLY...]

Hahaha... you're amazing, you know that?

[foxpas]

Ah, am I? I don't think I'm anything so special, though...

[aw she's embarrassed now]

[willynilly]

Don't be so modest! It's something to admire.

[foxpas]

[well, she's turning red but her tail is wagging]

I- I am glad to receive such praise...

[help me what do i do with this WHAT DO I DO WITH PROBLEMS I CANNOT SOLVE VIA STABBING OR HUGGING????]

[willynilly]

[o-oh her tail wags when she's happy...? that's. that's too cute. Ochako will try not to stare, but it's really cute.]

Ooh, and you're doing really well, too! Do you want to try going a little further out? Not too deep, but just to get a feel for it.

[foxpas]

Ah- Ah, yes!

[don't tell her that she will actually die of embarrassment]

If I copy your movements, it should not be too difficult... I will do that.

[willynilly]

Okay! We'll take it slow, and I'll stay close, so just tell me if you feel yourself starting to sink.

[Ochako leads them a bit further out, not too deep but enough that the bottom isn't so close to their feet.]

How does it feel? Do you like it at all?

[foxpas]

[She follows, and she seems to be learning quickly as she goes.]

It is difficult to keep myself above, but it is not unenjoyable... It makes for good discipline training, I think.

[willynilly]

...Is that the only reason? I mean, it's supposed to be fun...

[Is everything about training??]

[foxpas]

... Is there a difference?

[EVERYTHING IS TRAINING BECAUSE TRAINING IS FUN]

[willynilly]

....Well... if you like both, I guess not...

[Apparently everything is in fact about training.]

[foxpas]

I do. To become even a bit stronger than before, to notice your improvements, is a wonderful feeling.

[willynilly]

Ahaha... yeah, that's true. I just kind of file that sort of stuff into the "work" category more than "fun".

[She's a bit on the young side to be fully devoting herself to anything 100% of the time, anyway.]
