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.

Comments

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Sorry, sorry! I guess I've never been good at a joke like that.

[He laughs a little, hovering.]

Don't worry, I've never fallen. I just wanted to get you away from those bees.

[noluckduck]

[Sssstill shooting nervous glances to the ground.]

... Thanks, I guess? Not the best fuckin' way to go about it, y'know!

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Sorry. I was worried you might be allergic, with the way you were running. Better to err on the side of caution than the side of you having to go to the hospital because you're swelling up, right?

[He'll slowly start to hover down to the ground, looking around for more bees.]

I mean, you'd do the same for me, wouldn't you?

[noluckduck]

I was runnin' because I was bein' chased by goddamn bees!

... I wouldn't fly off with ya or anythin', but... I guess. [Also thank you for starting to come back down bro.]

[thegreatsaiyaman]

[He will slowly touch down, and let Clover down.]

I could tell you'd be the type of person to do that sort of thing. I just didn't want you to get hurt, and this was the best way I could see to do it.

[noluckduck]

... Dude, we're just neighbours.

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Exactly! Where I'm from, neighbors look out for each other. Besides, we're all stuck in this crazy town, and we should look out for each other, right?

[Still with that happy, happy grin.]

[noluckduck]

... What about the psychos, though? Some of the people out here are fuckin' nuts, y'know.

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Well, the fact that there are evil people out there is a given. I don't like it, but that's the nature of the world.

[He thinks for a moment.]

But, sometimes they can reform. My dad's friend Vegita originally came to my world to kill the population so that they could sell it to the highest bidder, but after a while, he became one of earth's greatest defenders.

[noluckduck]

Hold on, hold on, they wanted to motherfuckin' sell Earth?

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Yeah. Apparently it's very high in natural resources. Could fetch a high price.

[noluckduck]

I know it makes sense, but that doesn't make it any less fucked up!

[thegreatsaiyaman]

Oh, while I wouldn't use that term, it is really messed up. I just don't see how people could even want to do that.

[noluckduck]

Really? I kinda get it, I mean... If it gets ya good cash...
