Um, maybe fog? Or a waterfall? But it looks really, really cool!

[finalbows]

--A waterfall! Right down the middle! Of course!

_{[ first thing's first. time to raise one last new platform, to be mouth of the waterfall. Angie takes off to go hang in the air above the whole structure, so he can get the placement jusssst right it won't touch the 'mountain' so much as to make it dangerously slick. ]}

[electricflock]

[runs in a circle around the bottom of the 'mountain']

Perfect! Right there!

[finalbows]

<sub>[ a showy mid-air pirouette, a little time to summon up what's left of the loose dirt he's been crunching together to make his mountain--


And they have their perfectly placed platform! With a hollow, in the middle, for some standing water, and a spot like a very broad spout at the side. ]</sub>

[electricflock]

[so cool!!! cheers from the ground, whistling birdcalls]

It's even more mountain-y now!

[finalbows]

Wait for it, wait for it! Save the real cheers!

We still need that waterfall, right?

One...
Two...

<sub>[ claps his hands together, and...

Bubbles!! From Muffin's vantage point, he can see bubbles start to pour out of the 'spouting the platform, and in general, drifting around it.

But soon after...

The waterfall starts pouring, steady.

...
They should probably get Pondie soon after this to come climb it, because otherwise the grass around this spot is gonna get pretty flooded. ]</sub>

[throws his arms up, WHOO]

Real mountain!!

[finalbows]

_{[ as he slowly comes to -- not quite land, because he doesn't want to get his boots wet, he takes a midair bow. ]}

A real mountain. It's a shame there's not more jumps, but I do want to work within the comfort of my audience. I do... however... have a little theatre planned, for the ascent. What's more exciting than a precarious path that you always just manage to outpace falling apart behind you, right?

...I won't do it for the whole thing, but... you know. If he starts looking too bored, right? I can jiggle some parts a little, where he's already tread.

[electricflock]

Haver never climbed any mountains that were falling apart me, but sounds like something most people don't get to do!

[finalbows]

Oh. Hm. Is that just... something that mainly happens in stories, then?


I've never been much a mountaineer.

[electricflock]

Maybe happens to extreme mointaineers? The kinds that climb cliffs. I've only gone camping at mountains.

[finalbows]

Ah. So it would be better... to reserve that for a straight rock wall, if one's looking to fulfill a certain expectation...

[electricflock]

Maybe give um, a little crumble? Then if he's into it you can ramp the adrenaline.

[finalbows]

Ahh, a taste test~.

<sub>[ time to go survey for the best crumble spot.


One might get the impression Angie is kind of into designing Bond Villain Traps. ]</sub>

[electricflock]

[enrichment for angie and pondie both]

Yeah! Let him pick the skill level.

Muffin's Advice Would Later Prove To Be Extremely Wise, because pond fiend was way more scared of heights than angie estimated ]</sub>
