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.]

That's really cool!

[tonewlengths]

Thank you! You can come by any time you like, if you ever need anything.

[clocksandroses]

Can I come see it when we're done exploring?

[tonewlengths]

Absolutely. After we check out what those animals are, and maybe we can go see that forest too, and- And gosh, there's so much to see but we could come back to it later, couldn't we?

[clocksandroses]

I don't think we'll be going anywhere for a while.

[tonewlengths]

[Laughs again, bouncing in the water] It's wonderful!

[clocksandroses]

It really is . . .

[tonewlengths]

So, today we can go play in the water and the grass and check out those animals, and tomorrow we can explore the forest.

[clocksandroses]

That sounds good to me.

[tonewlengths]

[Finally clambering out of the water now, offering her a hand]

Let's keep exploring.

[clocksandroses]

[takes her hand gladly, climbing out after her.]

But, are you sure you want to check out the animals?

[tonewlengths]

[Now I just have to pull all my hair out]

Yes, absolutely. I don't know what kind of animals they are, and if they're friendly I really want to meet them.

[clocksandroses]

I hope they're friendly—do you want help with that?

[points to the hair]

[tonewlengths]

Oh- Um... [Takes a moment, thinking... Nods] Yes, if you wouldn't mind, thank you.

[clocksandroses]

[Reaching over to help!]

It's really pretty, by the way!

[tonewlengths]

You think so? Thank you.

[clocksandroses]

Taking care of it must be a full-time job.

[tonewlengths]

It takes so long. But I manage, and I have a friend who helps me sometimes.

[clocksandroses]

Have you ever thought about tying it back?

[tonewlengths]

I do sometimes, when I'm painting mostly, or working on something else. But it's useful to have down too.

[clocksandroses]

[omg]

You can paint, too? You're so cool, Rapunzel!
