WHO: all of you
WHERE: day 74
WHEN: through the day tbh

[there's trauma approaching in the distance but it ain't showing up quite yet THIS day!

it's a really beautiful day, actually. sunny and deeply pleasant weather. maybe sometime today people might return from a snadventure (snake adventure), or maybe not? the wildlife and your lil resident sheep are all perky and up and at 'em and full of energy. hopping.

what about you?]

That'd be great! Nice water walkin'! Damn.

My strong suit is grunt labor and physical stuff really. Lotsa those magic boys ain't know how to do shit for themselves WITHOUT magic. Hell, Tart doesn't even undress himself by hand anymore. Fucker just magics his clothes off.

Magically I guess flyin' is one of my best skills. Though my best class is animal languages. I ain't gonna talk to crabs though I dunno their language.

[grabby hands give a cage]

[audacity]

[ he laughs ]

You have a good point. It's really hard not to get reliant after a while. So it's great that you're not like that.

[ starting to pull up the first cage and hand it over!! ]

Trust me, you don't want to know what these crabs are saying about us.

[rugpull]

[dumping out crabs into his basket dont worry its deep]

Enh its eat or be eaten, lil' guys.

One day m'corpse will be gnawed on by all kindsa critters like you. Fair is fair. Circle of life!

[putting some bait into the trap and tossing it back into the water. then moving to the next trap a bit away]

Yer real good at yer magics huh.

[audacity]

[ walking along to the next trap with him ]

I've just had a lot of practice. I've been at it since I was twelve.

[rugpull]

And ya could just do it....?

[audacity]

I guess...? I didn't have to study or anything. It's more that I had to learn control.

[rugpull]

Magic sure is different person t'person....

[next trap lets do it again]

[audacity]

[ doing it again!!! ]

How did you learn animal languages?

[rugpull]

Oh, that ain't magic...

Anyone can learn it if they got the ear for it. And patience.

The patience is the part most people fail with. Ain't worth it to 'em, ya know? But mmm...there can be a lotta value in forming alliances with street cats and wild dogs. Especially in my homeland, where the wildlife are also considered citizens of the country in many ways. Preservin' nature is important to the king. Which sounds nicer than it actually is.

[audacity]

That sounds way more impressive than magic, for the record.

Why isn't it nice?

[rugpull]

Parts of the kingdom got no runnin' water, no plumbin'. We use wells and chuck out shit in chamberpots while the king puts a goldass fountain in the big city cuz he had a kid.

Lots of people have kids every day man you ain't special.

[audacity]

[ what the fuck ]

Why? To show off how rich he is?

[rugpull]

Worse.

Just fuckin' stupid.

[audacity]

How do you figure that?

[rugpull]

I know his younger brother at school. Heard the complainin'.

[audacity]

[ WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE ]

Yeah? Maybe he can knock some sense into this guy.

[rugpull]

Ain't happening.

But s'fine, we'll figure our shit out.

[audacity]

[ puttin the next emptied trap into the water, vaguely chastened ]

Oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to...

[ solve the problems of a world he's never seen? ]

...say you couldn't.

[rugpull]

Enh?

I ain't mad about it.

[audacity]

[ wry, ]

It's been pointed out to me that I try to solve other people's problems too much sometimes.

[rugpull]

Well yeh if there's a problem ya wanna solve it if ya can. Makes sense.

[audacity]

Right? It's kinda hard not to.

[rugpull]

S'just a matter of like scale.

My power isn't very big ya know?

[to the next trap]

[audacity]

[ onto the next trap! and passing it over ]

I don't know how much power has to do with it? Like it helps, but there's tons of problems my powers are useless for.

[rugpull]

Well. Power t'make someone listen to ya is a real specific power, yeh?

Like it's position and charm and intelligence and all sortsa things.
