Channelknight Fadran Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 "Of course I know about it!" She raised her hand, scowl deepening. "You probably should've thought of that before you went up to help them!"

"You probably should've thought of that before you went up to help them!" "Well, what else were we supposed to do? Report it to the soldiers?"

You did the right thing!" She grabbed them both by the ear and dragged them inside. "Doesn't make you guys any less idiots."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "I'm getting mixed messages here," mumbled Davey.
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "What I'm saying is that the right thing to do is often the stupidest thing to do." She crossed her arms. "Now what do you need?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 Myrna hesitated, then let go of them and sat down. "Well? Tell me about them."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "Well..." Davey hesitated. "They're... running from something. Someone. A teacher, I think she said?" He glanced to his companion for support.
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "Yeah." Alex continued. "Some kind of... magical teacher? Apparently her magic has to do with her hair. And the other one can just... vanish at will." Myrna thought for a second. "It seems like they can fend for themselves. Why help them?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "I mean... what happens when the cobs find them?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "I think the question is," she replied, "is how you're going to make sure they aren't."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "Well, you're sort of an expert on that, aren't you?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 "I am... but I can't exactly go about fighting soldiers and doing crazy stunts anymore. My age finally decided to catch up to me."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Davey paled. "Is that... going to be necessary?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 "Knowing your boys' luck and knack for trouble? Yes."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Davey swallowed. Apparently, the arrival of UP people was a Big Deal.
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 "What do we need to do?" Alex asked, sending a glance at Davey. Myrna sat back and thought for a second. "Keep them safe. They're going to be important for... something. I'm not sure what, yet."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 "Aunt Myrna..." said Davey. "Why would the cobs be concerned about people? If they aren't concerned about objects?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 11 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: "Aunt Myrna..." said Davey. "Why would the cobs be concerned about people? If they aren't concerned about objects?" "People are unpredictable. Items aren't."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 "Isn't the whole point of UP's that they are unpredictable and unexplainable?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Just now, xinoehp512 said: "Isn't the whole point of UP's that they are unpredictable and unexplainable?" "UPs are unexplainable until the feds get a hold of them and start studying. Why do you think UPs are taken by the government? It's not for the safety of their loyal 'colonists.'"

Why do you think UPs are taken by the government? It's not for the safety of their loyal 'colonists.'" "I... don't know. I never thought of that before. I guess I just assumed they use them for stuff, like we do. Oh!" Davey suddenly recalled the metallic box, forgotten amidst the excitement of the new arrivals. "I almost forgot. We found a new UP today. Not the people- before they showed up. It's some sort of safe."

xinoehp512 he/him Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 "We left it back at our treehouse, right?" said Davey, glancing at Alex.
