WHO: Hunter and YOU!
WHAT: Hiding from the vet
WHERE: Anywhere in the base, including your room!!
WHEN: Shortly after the downtime log
WARNINGS: Stupidity???

[ no matter where you might be -- the metro, the shrine, your actual room? you catch a movement out of the corner of your eye and a blonde teenager is taking refuge behind a door, in a karaoke booth, a supply closet, or under your actual bed, etc. the list goes on. the stupider, the better ]

[ hunter catches your eye and has the audacity to make a "shh" motion at you. wow, what is he hiding from? what's got this kid so spooked he'll take refuge under the beds of other recruits? ]

[ it must be serious.... right? ]

Comments

sorry for the delay!

[newphew]

[ yes, it's clearly such a normal thing to do. hunter meets his eyes, not moving from his clever hiding spot. there's probably some dust on his face now or something ]

[ he motions for kaworu to be quiet. this is serious business!! apparently ]

Shhh! I'm hiding. Keep your voice down or they'll find us!

[ spooky... ]

now its my turn

[peripheries]

[The dust makes him sneeze! So unpleasant dude.]

Hiding from who?

matchies

[newphew]

.... The cat doctor... thing.

[ did he cover his mouth when he sneezed.... ]

[peripheries]

If you don't want to go, just don't go.

[No, absolutely not this boy is feral. So sorry Hunter.]

[newphew]

---Cover your mouth when you sneeze!!

[ he will at least emerge from under the bed. no more bed hunter.... ]

They're trying to hunt me down. I can't let that happen.

[peripheries]

[Kaworu and seems to consider the possibility of covering his mouth next time he sneezes. Jury's still out if it's gonna happen.]

They're hunting you? Why? Are you someone important?

[newphew]

[ important character development for kaworu..... maybe ]

No, they're just trying to do these "physicals" on everyone. Haven't you had one yet?

[ kaworu did you go to the vet already.... ]

[peripheries]

No.

And I'm not going to.

[He has not gone to the vet...]

[newphew]

[ finally, someone with sense! ]

They'll be hunting for you, then. Same as me. We should take cover together. Alternate keeping watch.

[ too bad both of them will get a physical in the end, despite their best efforts.... ]

[peripheries]

If they come after us, we can just kill them. LILITH hasn't said we can't fight back against them.

[He doesn't say it like an unhinged person out for bloodlust. Instead, he says it like someone talking about taking care of an ant problem in a home.

LILITH may be in charge but there's always someone in charge. You just have to be more important to them than everyone else. Then they let you slide.]

[newphew]

I don't think we should kill the healers, even if they are annoying and nosy.

[ no judgment in how quickly kaworu jumps to it, but..... just saying ]

And I don't even know if it's that easy. [ or possible? the doctor is a cat android or something ]
