Yo~. Since we're expected to hand over reports to be graded by the end of the week and not be arrested, Tachibana and I are leaving town to take a field trip and look around.

Figured I'd say something in case someone's looking for us [ stranger things have happened ] or if we don't come back. If the latter happens don't bother looking for us because it means we're dead.

[ It's fair to note that while he definitely doesn't sound like he's kidding about the last part (because he isn't) he's also not at all expecting that to be even remotely possible. They're pretty resilient in their ability to survive even the most unfortunate of things. ]

Anyone need or want something from out there? [ like a souvenir from the faerie tribe's local gift shop or something... he doesn't know, okay. do you realize how desperately bored he is to be willing to wander around scouting landscape in the freakin' dark, he's going stir-crazy. ]

Someone kindly keep us informed while we're gone, too? [ he is actually very seriously expecting all the fun stuff to happen while they're out. ]

See you guys in a week, then.

Yes, please, I have my hands full already with a man who proclaims he has a the heart of a boy or whatever nonsense he told me.

[ Gintoki is odd and an overgrown little boy. ]

Besides, all of you are taller than me, so it isn't exactly I can't pull anyone's ears.

[inroad]

[ OH MY GOD HE'S FINALLY TALLER THAN SOMEONE IN THIS STUPID PLACE.]

[inroad]

[ —erm. anyway... ]

Maybe you can sell him for some underground secrets in this place.

[ Please don't insult her height, she hates being tiny. ]

[digophelia]

Why would I do that? I wouldn't sell my friend.

[inroad]

[ how tiny is she... ]

Oh, if he's a friend, then I see your problem.

[digophelia]

[ From malnutrition and lack of sunlight, Alice is shorter than some of the children around here. She feigns a smile -- a very sarcastic smile. ]

Is it? I hardly see how it's a problem, it isn't as if he's done anything bad other than he could stand to learn a few manners.

[inroad]

[ oh she is tiny! luckily he's not much of a person in regards to making fun of people on physical things like that unless he really really hates them.

however, women with sarcastic smiles did NOT end well for him last time back home so he laughs, waving a hand dismissively at the feed. ]

Whoa, Miss Alice. He must be really important to you to be so quick to defend.

Relax. I meant no harm to either of you.

[digophelia]

[ She pauses -- she's calm, isn't she? She usually takes being told to "relax" the wrong way. It usually means she's ranting and raving.

What a weird man. ]

Why, I never thought you were, sir, you never meant harm to me.

[inroad]

[ what a weird girl!! he definitely can't read her, he realizes. he tilts his head curiously a moment, intrigued by this realization of his—although in his defense Naotora was really violent when she got that type of smile on her face.

are they just confusing the heck out of each other?? ]

Huh. I might have read you totally wrong there. I'm getting bad at this. [ he really shouldn't be surprised at all, he doesn't know how to read women at all. so don't believe him if he sounds like he usually does, alice. ] Well, anyway—do you and your friend need anything if we come across something out there?

[digophelia]

[ Meanwhile, Alice comes to the conclusion that men are really strange when they're not being obnoxious. She's young, she hasn't been around that many men, in her life. ]

Maybe, unless it was cookies or any other sweets. Other than that, I cannot say what he would like.

[inroad]

It's a longshot, but there could be a farm out there with cookies.

[digophelia]

Oh, I can think of a place that could farm cookies, but the Chantes is certainly not one of them.

[ Wonderland counts. Sort of. ]
