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?]

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.

[audacity]

...Okay, a good point. That can be really hard to get.

[rugpull]

Everyone has a kinda power. But those powers can't be used the same way. Can't open a jar with a smile but sometimes a smile can open a door yer hands can't.

[audacity]

You're one wise hyena, you know that?

[rugpull]

If only my teachers agreed and stopped givin' me Cs.

[audacity]

I'd offer to put in a word, but my grades aren't any better.

[rugpull]

Reading boring shit is so hard....

[audacity]

Right? Try it with dyslexia and ADHD. Bad for reading, period, and focusing on the boring stuff.

[rugpull]

What's dyslexia?
