[OPEN] NO MORE BEAR MEAT

[wilder]

Who: Zelos and YOU
What: Sick of hanging around the Sanctum (and bear meat), Zelos decides to head out
Where: Silverglen Retreat
When: Todayish?
Warnings: Swearing and violence most likely

[A. Silverglen Retreat. OPEN TO RED, BRONZE AND GREEN FLIGHTS.]

[It seriously hadn't taken long for Zelos to be sick of hanging around the Sanctum and training all the time. Being kept somewhere for his safekeeping had never sat well with him, after all. So he worked on learning about the other areas from the dragons. Sure, most places in the area seemed to want to happily kill him- but it sounded like Silverglen Retreat would be alright for a first stop!]

[Especially if he wanted to get food that wasn't flame-cooked bear meat.]

[And so, ignoring warnings of how it was dangerous outside, he headed out to Silverglen Retreat. He made it there without incident, and once he proved he was a Redsworn, he was allowed in with only wary staresm - which was something he was used to anyway.]

[His hair probably makes him for an easy person to spot in the marketplace, and currently he's wandering the stalls trying to figure out how to get supplies in a trade-based economy when your life skills are well, limited, to say the least.]

[B. Forest outside Silverglen Retreat. OPEN TO ALL.]

[Eventually it seemed some elf decided to throw him a bone (or just get to stop hitting on their daughters for stuff) and made an arrangement that if he brought back a number of stag flanks- they'd give him some supplies he needed. Which hey, he could do that! He could fight, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?]

[Except, for one problem your character might come across, as he kneels over a stag that's clearly been killed by fire and sword cuts - a look of frustrated confusion very clear on his face]

Damn...where's the flank again?

[ HE'S DYIN HERE... those whiny-ass bleats sure aren't helping his composure but okay OKAY.. CONCENTRATE!!

he's still grinning though, even as he lifts his hands and shuts his eyes and pools his magic, and -- POOF! ]

[wilder]

[And it works! As quick as it happened, the sheep is gone and there's Zelos standing there squawking and his hair looking like it had a bad bad perm]

Genis, you little brat! What the hell was that for?!

1/2

[gravitywell]

Z-Zelos..?

[ he HADN'T KNOWN IT WAS YOU.. ]

[gravitywell]

[ LMFAO THIS IS SUDDENLY FUNNY ALL OVER AGAIN... ]

Hahaha - I didn't -- haha, oh man, your hair!

1/2

[wilder]

Of course it's-

[WAIT WHAT]

My- [He reaches back slowly to grab a lock of it, bringing it forward to look at it- IN HORROR]

Oh my go-

[wilder]

[SHRIEK]

YOU ARE SO DEAD, GENIS SAGE!

[gravitywell]

[ uh oh

oh no

the shriek of a cornered, furious animal.. HOW TERRIFYING genis backs up several steps, hands up. ]

U-uh... sorry! It was an accident!

[ wow but it's still so

so

so funny. ]

[wilder]

[YES ITS THAT SHRIEK. And now a bunch of titan will run in and eat everything.]

[I MEAN- ]

You accidentally turned me into a sheep?!

How do you even do that?!

[gravitywell]

[ SEID IHR DAS ESSEN

genis as armin in this au ]

It.. it just happened! I thought you were an enemy!

[wilder]

[From bunny head to coconut head seems legit]

[Zelos is VERY skeptical for some reason]

Really? Then why would you turn me back?

[gravitywell]

Haha well.. I guess because I felt a little sorry for you..

[wilder]

[....]

[Yep. You getting bopped on the head]

[gravitywell]

[ OKAY, SAFE

there are worse things than a head bop. ]

I'll try not to do it again. But no promises!

[wilder]

[Yeah he just doesn't have it in him to spank you Genis. YOU NEED YOUR SISTER FOR THAT]

[His eyes narrow]

You better not!

And if I can't fix my hair? I'm cutting off some of yours.

[gravitywell]

[ PRAISE THE HEAVENS because that's a thing that no one really needs to see, okay.. ]

H-hey! No way!

[ .. he's totally going to do it again though sorry this is a fate you can't escape. ]

[wilder]

Uh huh. Maybe I'll start with one of those long locks you got...!

[gravitywell]

[ NOT HIS BUNNY LOCKS... genis grips them both in fear!! ]

Y-you'd better not! [ DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK TO GROW THEM ] Unless you want me to light that red rat's nest on fire!

[wilder]

[A single "ha" comes from Genis gripping his bunny locks because frankly that's adorable and funny looking]

Yeah? Well whose fault is it that it looks like a rat's nest now, hm?

Don't worry, if I can fix my hair your cute little locks will be just fine.

[But if not you're gonna look like a 5 year old gave you a haircut]

[gravitywell]

[ adorable and funny looking is what genis does best (after sass) ]

Yeah, well.. I guess it's an unfortunate side effect! But I dunno, maybe you should just stay a sheep instead..

[wilder]

Ha ha, Iiii think not.

[BEING A SHEEP SUCKS NEVER AGAIN. But let's change the subject before the brat gets ideas]

What're you doing out here anyway?

[gravitywell]

[ BUT YOU MAKE A MUCH BETTER SHEEP, he would say, if zelos hadn't segued so smoothly into another subject. good job there. ]

Oh, um.. just.. l-looking for some food, that's all!

[ but his big doe eyes say THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUTHFUL. ]

[wilder]

[HE REFUSES TO BELIEVE THAT. He is best human-angel--thingy! WHATEVER HE IS]

Really? Do they not feed you in your Sanctum?

[He says it half-jokingly because seriously considering they are dealing with dragons, he's not gonna rule much out.]

[gravitywell]

Well..

[ um ]

.. we still have to scavenge, for some things! I thought I'd be able to get something in the town, but..

[wilder]

But...?

[Come on Genis he isn't a mind-reader! ]

[gravitywell]

[ HE WAS ASSUMING YOU GOT KICKED OUT OF THE TOWN TOO, BUT APPARENTLY NOT.. ]

They.. wouldn't let me in.
