His daughter was an animal lover...he's a sucker for them too. Sorry, Anya... "...how 'bout we leave the bunnies and go bother the goats? At least those only have weird eyes to worry about." At least Dwight is now standing between the flesh eaters and Anya...in case they decided to...attack? Yeah. Well, hopefully it would make her feel better.

[ourlegends]

We'll know where we're going from now on, then. Maybe.

[ She slides a little closer to the window and stares out of it as their car starts to rise into the air. ]

[ourlegends]

.... Did he make it out of that okay? That sounds kind of dangerous.

[spiria]

... How does a Piano fall on your head?

[ OH, crap, he just got bitten! She moves forward and takes his hand into her own, inspecting it and making sure he didn't have a bad injury. ]

[flared]

[He knows it's confusing, so he won't make him think any more on it than he has to.]

Just take from it what you will, buddy. Ain't no skin off my back.

[fundemetal]

[He appreciates the gesture.]

I'll do that.

[dontyoujustwish]

The human shield is appreciated, for what little good it will do against bunnies.

"Yes, distance. That's the first sensible thing you've said."

Time to walk away. Slowly, so as not to trigger any chasing instinct they might have.

[preciousmemories]

King's fine! Kusanagi-san is too, and he was the one King attacked during Kick the Can.

[redboots]

Sure, if I got nothing better to do.

[Which sheeee doesn't, actually, usually.]

[redboots]

I kiiinda knew this one girl who was into experimenting...

[Nothing with cats yet- but that was only as far as Marceline knew.]

But hey, half demons represent! [Fistbump?]

[beauchevalier]

When shall we have our date then? After the festival?

[shippingmath]

"Not that." Well, that wasn't what he intended to ask a question about, though it could probably be twisted into symbolism into this situation somehow. "I meant fairs and shit. As a kid or whatever. I've only seen them since coming to Vatheon."

[fundemetal]

"I went to a couple when I was little with my mom, but none since... until now." He leaves out "she died" from the sentence. He might have mentioned that at some point, but it wasn't something he wanted to talk about now while they were having fun.

John hasn't seen Tavros with wings, so when he does see him land with them, he goes over to get a better look. "Hey, Tavros."

[toreadorkabull]

-=he is currently holding a baby goat that wanted his attention, it's tail wagging a mile a minute=-

Oh, uh... hey, John!

-=this guy is way more mellow and laid back than what John would remember him being=-

[redboots]

Sure- and don't worry about it, I'll call you when I get things aaall set up.

[She has so many plans to make, bwahahaha.]

[redboots]

Sixty three. And I guess you could say that. No humans around, gotta fill up Ooo with something.

[shippingmath]

Even if he had, it's the kind of opening that Dirk's learned better than to pry into in casual conversations, even if he is interested in finding out more. "So this is pretty nostalgic for you, huh?" he says instead.

[unwrittenformula]

[N nods, and moves closer to the window as well.

Of course this being the festival, the Ferris Wheel is on the island as opposed to down below, but once it raises high enough, quite a bit of the island and the festivities below can be seen, and beyond that under the water, the bubble barrier and the city within.]

Wow...

[fortheempire]

[Uhoh, bidding is about to close, and it looks like Marceline is going to win...

Poor Ioder looks like a deer in headlights.]

[keepsthefire]

[yeah no please stop that thought right there]

Heh. Sure.

[fistbump is acceptable]

[fundemetal]

"Yeah, I guess so. I've had a hard time tearing myself away from this place all week."

He takes another bite of the cookie dough. They'd drifted pretty far away from all the lights and noise of the festival by this point. Leo's not even sure there's anywhere specific to head to in this direction, but he keeps walking anyway.

[pranksterheir]

[D'awww, okay, he can't help but smile at the baby goat, it's adorable.] Making a new friend?

[toreadorkabull]

Yes, actually. Allies can be found, in strange ways and places.

-=every time stops petting the goat its tail would stop, only to end up looking like a mini butt propeller whenever he started again=-

[helmetdoesnothing]

He leaned towards the petting, pressing his head up to the touch, then abruptly overbalanced into Nepeta's lap, letting out a startled squawk and scrambling away.

"Fh-fucking-- fuck. Thorry."
