Second Run - Shoebox Fort

[speeding]

So. If you need me I'm in my fort.

On aisle 24. With the men's running shoes.

All invaders will be questioned and possibly subjected to ridicule if they do not bring approriate offerings.

Appropriate offerings include, but are not limited to, real clothes please for the love of god.

Thank you. This has been a PSA by your local evil overlord.

Or something.

DO WANT WANT.

My pillow fort just happens to be located in prime projectile territory, dude. For the record. Survey says if a men's track shoe had to go ten rounds with a woman's stiletto, the stiletto would win every time.

Also, pillows are meant not to be intimidating. But rather, enticing and warm. Like justice. Only with twenty percent more smushability.

What is a good guy without his confidence that he is good and right and true?

...fort.

Whatever works.

What size are you?

Also, evil overlord? What the hell?

[speeding]

Shoebox fort! Get with the program! It's all the rage.

Um.. About 5'7" I think and buff? Like not ripped but not a twig or round or anything?

No one else was claiming it. I've got the fort, I've got the style, it was the next logical step.

Also, I'm away from my fort right now collecting a jacket from Ran, but hey, if you leave clothes? You are my hero. Or you could stop by when I get back to it.

[speeding]

That's be disorienting! Or what if it was like, everything melting around us into new things? Awkward.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

You're incorrigible.

Oh and no poking the dinosaur, alright?

[speeding]

Hey, where'd I be without you? You're my official evil scheme critic now. I need you, obviously.

Yeah, it was part of the job contract right? "Be willing to stand in as figure-head while real evil mastermind makes good on his escape."

Hm. Okay, I'm a little bit shorter than you but not much, and it sounds like we're fairly close to the same build. I don't have a whole ton on me but I can spare a couple things.

I'm heading in that general direction to doublecheck around the cocoons, I'll drop them off on the way.

[speeding]

Yeah, but only because stiletto's cheat. You a cheater Throne?

Okay that was possibly the funniest thing I've heard all night. I'll get back to you.

You mean his smug superiority, right?

[speeding]

Oh cool, I totally owe you a lot. I feel like a prison camp refugee in these clothes. Or something. Not cool.

Sorry I'll miss you Drake! My fort should be easy to find.

[speeding]

That's what makes me so cute!

Awww... What about petting? Can she take petting?

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

How about yourself? You okay?

Yeah, Argent's been keeping me company, but he's wandered off to check in with some people. I definitely wouldn't mind another visitor. Playing recluse and hiding out loses its charm after a while and as much as I'd like to be able to head out and find you guys, it just gets infinitely more complicated when you factor in asinine idiots.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Seen it, and yes, it was very weird.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Been there, done that, believe me. I have to hand that crap out and I feel sorry for people every single time.

I'm sure I can find it, no sweat. You can get the stuff back to me after the storm passes and we can get upstairs again.

[speeding]

Institutional clothing is like institutional cooking: it never looks pretty.

Awesome, will do! It'll just be nice to have, you know, actual clothes.

[speeding]

Whoa, you've seen everything haven't you?

So.

What was it like?

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

I've seen a lot, yes.

It was completely bizarre. We were all stuck down here for two or three weeks (thank the fire ants) and one day we all woke up to find out that the city we were in had magically turned into a gigantic ocean, and there we were on the world's biggest boat just sort of floating around aimlessly.

My legs were a little sore from all that running yesterday, but I'm fine now. Today, I've just been visiting people and picking out some shoes.

All right, I'll be by in a little bit. I just need to let people know not to expect me back for a while.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

That's temporary housing in a nutshell.

Definitely sympathizing there. You don't feel human until you have actual clothes on.

[treeleopardess]

Are you using your masculine wiles to try to lure me away from Throne? Because I'm not that kind of girl.

[speeding]

Wow. At least you woke up on a boat and not like, in the ocean though, right?

[speeding]

Oh goody. So once we're out of Shoeland that's what I have to look forward to?

How do I escape it?

Clothes, shower, good shoes, real food. All requirements for being human in my book. But clothes are definitely way up there.

[nobodysheroine.livejournal.com]

That is a matter of opinion.


If she likes you, she might. If.

[speeding]

Can't I even tempt you a little Bastet? I mean, I know you've got previous commitments with the nemesis, but I promise I can make it worth your while in laughter and possibly flattery?

Who will critique my schemes if you won't, after all?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

That's my queen.

[speeding]

Your opinion I hope! Right? Right?

Hope she likes me then!
