012 ❖ STILL ORDINARY, I SWEAR

[noluckduck]

[Action; 456 Stone Street]

[After her trip to the beach, Clover completely failed to notice the packages waiting for her back home. Until today, that is!

In a twist that is actually not a twist at all by virtue of not being surprising, the first one she opens nets her a punch to the face. Awesome. Great sense of humour, Mayfield. Moving right the hell on, and the next package contains...

... A beefy furry arm? Or, well, a picture of it, at any rate. Clover has a bad feeling about this - she's no furry! - but curiosity gets the best of her, she touches the picture, and... suddenly, the already small weight she's carrying becomes insignificant.

Don't tell her...

Oh, right, there's still one thing left to open. Careful now, Clo. No sudden movements...]


[Action; Stone Street]

[If you're outside, you might just notice Clover running out her front door with little apparent regard for what lies in front of her, judging by how she nearly knocked the poor door off its hinges in her rush to get out.

It's hard not to be in a hurry when you're being chased by a horde of angry bees.]


[Phone]

[Later, after she's gotten out of her predicament, Clover decides a phone call would be a good idea.] Yo, guys. I just wanna--

[Wait, what was she even going to say? Was she just gonna go "Hey, Equius, when you were here before, we sparred a bunch and now I'm freakishly strong again so we could give that another go!"? "Fang, get your ass over here and watch me knock out this idiot drone in one punch"? Ugh, she really should have thought this through better, she tells herself as her free hand idly slides off the back of her neck and, without thinking, she smacks the table in--

CRASH.]

Oh, shit.

[Hungary's voice rings loudly from the kitchen window.] Mind the flower bed on your way out, dear!

[noluckduck]

[Unfortunately (?), Clover is too busy getting the hell away to, well, reply or anything.

Only when she comes back, clearly having been attacked by the bees a couple of times, does she greet Hungary with a deep scowl.]

Didn't step on your fuckin' flowers.

[balaton]

That's good then, isn't it? [She starts a small fire on the stove, producing little, if enough smoke to keep the bees away.] Are you unhurt?

[noluckduck]

I'm fine. [She doesn't... want to talk about it very much.] And the bees are gone now, thanks.

[balaton]

I suppose I shouldn't be worried unless they sting your tongue, or something like that.

Then that would be bad.

[noluckduck]

Oh, sure, it's not like people've died from bees stingin' anywhere else!

[balaton]

[She hopes the smoke stains won't be too hard to get out, but what does that matter in a house with a collapsed staircase?] Unless you're allergic...

But you seem rattled. I wish you'd sit down, dear.

[priceofmagic]

Um... Clover? Was that you?

[noluckduck]

...

Nope! That was the crazy fuckin' neighbours!

[priceofmagic]

Are you sure? Your neighbors must be really um... crazy fuckin' loud.

[noluckduck]

[SNERK.]

Yeah, they are.

[priceofmagic]

I'd offer to come blow a hole through their house, but I think that violates our neighborhood's house code or something.

[noluckduck]

... Holy shit, ya gotta do that.

Wait, wait. We gotta find a house full o' drones, then ya can do that.

Phone

[kinship]

Miss Clover? Did something happen?

[That was a pretty loud crash.]

Phone

[noluckduck]

Goddamn... neighbours, what're they even doin', man? Crazy. Really crazy.

[100% TRUE FACT]

[kinship]

I'm ten, not an idiot... a crash that loud from next door would never be heard over the phone.

[He sounds so unimpressed, maybe he's in a bad mood today unusually for him.]

[noluckduck]

Fuck. Look, it's nothin' ya should worry about, okay?

[kinship]

Clover... [Dropping the 'miss' for once.] ...you're my friend, I'm going to worry.

[noluckduck]

I just broke a thing, it's nothin'!

[thegreatsaiyaman]

[Gohan was out training in the morning when he saw Clover run out of her house. He blinked one or two times, not noticing the bees. He will, however, wave.]

Uh, are you OK, Clover?

[noluckduck]

NO, YOU DUMBASS!

[Brb, running down the street.]

[thegreatsaiyaman]

[Seeing what was attacking her, Gohan will stop what he's doing and lift off the ground. In a blink, he's over to Clover and has an arm around her, before he shoots up into the air, away from the bees. This is done fairly quickly.]

You got them too, eh? Yeah, I got them this morning. Are you all right?

[He is hovering several hundred feet above the ground, by the way.]

[noluckduck]

[Clover doesn't even need to look down to start screaming very loudly.

What exactly she is screaming isn't very clear, but it presumably involves expletives and asking what's wrong with Gohan.]

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Clover! Clover, calm down! We're away from the bees now, you're safe!

[He looks really concerned for her, at the moment. Who would have thought that she was so terrified of bees.]

[noluckduck]

[NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. Clover is holding on... pretty strongly, actually? IF GOHAN CAN EVEN NOTICE, ANYWAY.]

OH MY GOD WHY THE FUCK CAN YA EVEN FLY?!
