[Loosha has been in a bit of a down mood ever since the carnival began. First, her friends were gone and she was lonely. Then, Luke came back with half his hand missing and a really sullen attitude that she just can't seem to shake him out of. Of course, she hasn't tried everything yet. And so that's what she's setting out to do: Try Everything.

Of course, she doesn't know everything that can make humans happy, so she's trundled out into town to do some people-watching. She figures there's no harm in doing so since everyone already saw her at that party. It's research!

So, what are you up to, Mayfield? Whatever it may be, this stories-tall dinosaur-manatee-seal-walrus-thing is very curious and is not being subtle about it.]

'Wao'.

[calmingmelody]

[Jeez that was the grumpiest Wao ever. Needs more high-pitched squealing.]

Kwaaah...

[well, you tried]

[inthebones]

You know I still don't know what you want, right?

1/???

[calmingmelody]

Aay...

[yeah, she knows. But she's kind of limited with what she can pantomime, and the concept she's trying to convey is sorta advanced to begin with.]

[calmingmelody]

[Or is it?

She stares for a moment...]

[calmingmelody]

[and then shrinks down and makes herself look really sad.]

[calmingmelody]

[and then gets up a little... still kinda sad, but not as bad.... but gettin' up...]

[calmingmelody]

[up more, feelin' a little better...]

[calmingmelody]

[...little more better...]

[calmingmelody]

[Better...]

done

[calmingmelody]

[ and now AWESOME!! With some jazz flippers, even.

DO YOU GET IT NOW SUSAN]

[inthebones]

Ohhh.

Of course. How silly of me; I should have seen it immediately. Why, it was perfectly obvious right from the start.

You want to plant a tree.

[calmingmelody]

[... Ah, she sees how you got that. Maybe the jazz flippers were unnecessary. Loosha puts them down immediately and rocks on them a little. What to do next...

- Maybe planting a tree wouldn't be bad? It could be like a gift.]

... Ay?

[Sure, why not]

[inthebones]

That was a joke; I have absolutely no idea what you were trying to do.

Do you want a tree anyway?

[calmingmelody]

[Ah, a joke. Well... never mind the tree then. Maybe if she does it faster she'd make her point?

Or maybe Susan would think she was having a seizure.

Loosha decides to just wave a flipper passively. Best to let the issue drop. Susan lives with the mopey Luke, so hopefully she's already working on a solution without Loosha's pestering.]

[inthebones]

As you like it.

That was an extraordinarily productive conversation. Let's do this again sometime, shall we?
