OKAY WE'RE HERE EVERYONE CAN FINALLY GET OUT OF THE CAR

[oi_theoi]

Who: Everyone
When: Day 118, morning
Where: On a lovely grassy hill
What: MINGLE, finally landed

[Despite the loud wake up call and some uneven tilting of the HQ to maneuver out of the mountains, in the end it is landed without incident on a large hill at the fork of a large rushing river, overlooking a vast expanse of grassy plains.]



[The sun is bright and the sky is clear. The breeze is warmer here than the chilly winds up in the mountains and it feels like spring is in the air. Off in the distance, their furry backs and long curved horns visible above the extremely tall grasses, one can make out herds of elephant-sized creatures grazing slowly in the fields. Beyond them, just at the edge of vision, seems to be the sparkling waters of a lake.]

[o_o what-- oh her hair.

r-rushes to her dropoff point to look down]

[tonewlengths]

[SKIDS TO A STOP JUST BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND.

SHE WAS LAUGHING BUT NOW SHE LOOKS KIND OF TERRIFIED.]

[scaledeep]

. . .

[She's never done this before. . .

He almost jumps after her but remembers he probably can't make the leap anymore, so he pushes back to run down the stairs until he can safely make a 3-story jump.]

[tonewlengths]

[Was about to lower her foot, but shrieks when he lands, scrambling back up her hair--]

Darc?

[scaledeep]

. . . [walks up to where she is.]

Come on. You aren't scared now, are you?

[tonewlengths]

No! I... I...

[Loweriiing her foot again]

[scaledeep]

[WAITING.]

[tonewlengths]

[Somehow, from somewhere, music inexplicably begins playing when her foot makes contact with the grass. She gasps, which quickly turns into joyous, incredulous laughter, wriggling her toes in the dirt]

[scaledeep]

[wait. what

everything happening here just got way too intense for me]

[tonewlengths]

Just smell the grass, the dirt, just like I dreamed they'd be!

[She sure is singing. Dropping to her knees and rolling all over this grass eeeeeeeee]

[scaledeep]

[IS THIS MUSIC COMING FROM YOU. IS THIS SOME KIND OF MAGICAL MUSIC SPELL??

oh god she's so happy

she is so happy look at her]

[tonewlengths]

[There is so much happy. It looks like she can't get any happier but then she runs right into the river and looks down amazed at the water rushing over her feet, yes okay let's splash in this river for a moment and sing about how great it is to be fre :D I could go running and racing and dancing and chasing etc. etc.]

[i am paralyzed

and there is a bursty warm feeling in my chest i have felt like 4 times in my life

i guess]

[andiwantitnow]

[ We're having a musical number :3 ]


Hah! Quite a spirit on this one! A friend of yours?

[scaledeep]

[what the fuck is going-- F WORD D8]

She's--! ... just-- some troublesome girl I know...

[andiwantitnow]

Hah! That's what you call trouble, is it? [ this required back-slaps ]

[scaledeep]

[asf;aa; staggers]

You--!

[andiwantitnow]

Come, I wish to see my new homestead!

[scaledeep]

Are you delaying your duel?

[andiwantitnow]

Well . . . [ Yukari is drunk and rolling on the ground ]

[scaledeep]

. . .

[glances back at Rider with a measured look]

You're not going to just crush her as she is now?

[andiwantitnow]

Hmm? Certainly not. If she possesses anything close to the power that attendent of hers believes, this will be a duel to be savored! She should be at her best!

[scaledeep]

. . . .

Hmph.

Fine. You want me to go with you?

[andiwantitnow]

If you would.


A bit infectious, isn't she?

[scaledeep]

... She's been locked in a tower her whole life.

She was wondering if it would even be something she wanted, to go out...

But look at her.
