Ugh! This awful--this noise--

--all day, everywhere--just hammering!

Midnight's...almost there, but--can't get rid of this--h-hammer--

I swear, if midnight doesn't...doesn't come fast enough, I'll--I'm going to hammer it! OUT OF MY HEAD!

[Rita's brain slug does not enjoy this attack, City! It's spazzing out and is seriously contemplating that hammer to the head. Though whether that last shout was really the slug or Rita herself, well...who knows? :)]

[ooc: And probably actually going to bed soon, so late replies.]

I did not! Obviously you don't have a brain, so I'll tell you--it's almost impossible to concentrate on one little thought today, let alone a spell!

[...They've...got a long time, then.]

[stargathering]

Stop making up excuses; you have no problem concentrating on keeping up this pointless argument! If the runes I had were useful at all, I could cast with them.

[ ...Yes they do. orz ]

[blastiafreak]

Talking to you doesn't even require a fraction of the brainpower I need to cast a spell. And it's not like you're any more useful either, so stop moaning!

[Time flies when you're having fun, at least?]

[stargathering]

More and more excuses. You don't need to think that hard to pick up a shovel and do something.

[ They secretly love this bickering. :') Also, tossing some dirt from his shovel her way. ]

[blastiafreak]

Please, I'm not about to break my back doing that when I can just--Wh-

H-hey! Watch where you're throwing that stuff, you moron!

[It'd be a tragic day if they didn't have anyone to argue with. Aaand mun is off to bed, but will pick it up tomorrow!]

[stargathering]

I will when you start working on your own. Magicians... [ Grumblegrumble ] It wouldn't hurt you to improve your strength through some actual work.

[ Sleep well! o/ On the bright side, that day probably won't come before the little slug family goes away. ]

[blastiafreak]

Hmph. What do I seriously need that for? I can work just fine when I have to. And this mountain is coming down once my head stops trying to explode!

[Aw, poor messed up little family. Of course, the hosts will probably be pretty messed up themselves after everything too.]

[stargathering]

In the meantime, you can dig and pretend you're not entirely worthless without your magic. [ Have a spare shovel shoved at Rita! ] There aren't times when you don't have to work!

[ Most definitely. :< They're all going to have the wrong ideas of each other! ]

[blastiafreak]

You stuck-up... [She snatches the shovel--then just uses it to smack a rock in Tyr's direction.]

[What a healthy start to a relationship, huh?]

[stargathering]

[ And Tyr jumps aside, ignoring that the rock actually did sorta hurt when it hit his side, and scoops up a heap of earth to fling at Rita. ] Stop fooling around!

[ Nothing says friendship like a shovel to the head! ]

[blastiafreak]

[Rita flings up an arm to cover her face, then whacks another rock.] You're the one that started it, moron, so don't go whining at me!

[Or spreading parasites!]

[stargathering]

By telling you to work? That's the only reason we're at this crappy mountain! [ Ugh, stop throwing stones! Tyr moves out of the way again and slaps some dirt up at her again. ]

[ Awww, Rita, Tyr, and Flynn will be the best of best friends. :D ]

[blastiafreak]

Argh! By not watching where you're flinging that stuff, stupid! [No rocks this time, but she finally tosses a shovelful of dirt back at him.]

[Yay~ Look how much fun they're having already! :D]

[stargathering]

You shouldn't stand so close if you don't want to get hit! [ But Tyr will take that shovelful of dirt. Not like he isn't covered in dirt already. He turns from her, though, and goes back to shovelling normally. ]

[ They're such absolute brats together. :> Too bad Tyr is usually more :| than this. ]

[blastiafreak]

Hmph--then maybe you get your eyes checked! Learn to aim, or is that too much to ask of a lunkhead like you? [Not shutting up, and not shoveling.]

[This is how it would be if they were ever de-aged together on Grab Bag, I bet. XD]

[stargathering]

My aim is fine! You need to learn how to shut up and work! [ Not that he is. Have a heaped shovel of dirt being slapped in your direction, Rita. ]

[ Oh gosh, you're right. XD I've wanted to age Tyr back down to his physical age for a while, too. :'3 ]

[blastiafreak]

[And she is covered in--well, just more dirt, really.] That's it! I've had enough of you! [This time, she lunges at him with the shovel.]

[Haha. It'd be a nightmare for whoever had to look after them! >D]

[stargathering]

The same goes for you, you worthless-- [ And it's on. Changing his shovel to the 'beat people up' position, Tyr just blocks Rita's attack and tries to kick at her legs. Sorry, Rita, a shovel is just a short, unbalanced staff right now. ]

[ If they can keep their eyes on them! They'd be a couple of menaces. >:3 ]

[blastiafreak]

Can it, freak! [Of course, she's no staff fighter, so she ends up stumbling from the kicks. She slams the shovel's handle down, towards one of Tyr's feet.]

[Oh man, they would. They'd run around messing up all of Leon's stuff! :D]

[stargathering]

Ow! [ Tyr pulls his foot back from under the handle after it connects, gritting his teeth. ...He's used to being hurt, though!! Yeah! Doesn't change that that hurt. Stupid choice to wear slippers, he realises. Tyr brings his shovel up to smack her in the face with it, though! ] Just stay down!

[ Haha, yes. And bugging every member if the house. :'D Another reason for Tyr to never be allowed there again.;; ]

[blastiafreak]

Ugh! [Ohh, that really, really smarts. Screw just beating him up, maybe she'll try to kill him after all.] You bastard--you're dead! [She jumps at him again, this time intending to just throw him off balance.]

["Another" reason, eh~? << And at this rate, they're going to kill each other. Or fall in one of the holes they've been digging. XD;]

[stargathering]

[ And Tyr does stumble back more clumsily than he would if Rita hadn't hit his foot, but he braces himself - this land is awfully uneven from the digging, and he does not need a broken ankle. ] Watch what you say, you bitch! You're not the only one here with magic!


[ Aha, yeah.;; By the end of this plot, he'll be in really bad company with Flynn and Yuri. idk if I can spoil how it goes on the other players, though.;;

And man, they really will.;; It would be funny if they do just fall down and get knocked out or something. Either way, they'll be sore the next day. ]

[blastiafreak]

Shut up! All I've heard from you is talk--your whining, your complaining--I'm sick of your stupid attitude! [Nevermind that this is exactly what Tyr could be saying to her. Oh, but she's finding out the ground is rough, too. She almost goes down - and spots the lovely deep hole behind Tyr.] Go take a nap, already! [She throws her weight at him, trying to push him back.]

[Ohhh, THAT! Yes, that's not gonna be a happy memory for anybody. What a fun mess that day'll be. ^^;]

[stargathering]

[ At this rate, he isn't going to get anywhere without seriously hurting her, he thinks, and that isn't something he wants, not with how useful she could be. ]

You too--! [ And he forsakes his shovel to take hold of her clothing and drag her down with him. ]


[ Yep, that. :') I'm still looking forward to it. Also, Rita doesn't have to come down, it just flowed better to write like that. ]

[blastiafreak]

H-hey, let--[And down they go, hoping there are no rocks at the bottom.]

[Same here. Gonna be a good time! And actually, this is exactly how I imagined it happening, so this is perfect. XD

Oh, and my internet's kind of crapping out right now, so just in case I suddenly disappear, that's why.]
