More umui discoveries.

We dug credit where credit is due, Lance and I did some excavation in the houses (the ones in grids, full of plant growth) and Gladiolus graciously ripped entire chunks of the floor out with his bare hands.

Found sheets of metal in the ground underneath? Same material as the house, seemed to be at least several layers of metal packed on top of each other. Didn’t get to see if there was anything else underneath, you’re free to try digging deeper.

It was pretty awesome.

[crosslaced]

you're being extremely obvious.

[thegoofball]

He was tearing metal apart with his BARE HANDS!!!

[the writing just gets smaller and angrier.]

So you tell the whole city that you're just *waiting* for a large muscled man to [SMUDGE] you agains

ignore all that DON'T JUST SAY IT

1/?? i'm so sorry

[thegoofball]

[Unfortunately, he cannot ignore things.

Doubly unfortunately, he is.

Well.

Like this.]

I have no idea what you're talking about! I don't want anyone like Gladio or Shiro doing anything to me against anything.

2/??

[thegoofball]

[oh no]

3/??

[thegoofball]

[OH NO.]

4/??

[thegoofball]

HE'S LIKE TWICE MY AGE!!!!!!!

5/??

[thegoofball]

[Later, both of those messages have been ~mysteriously~ wiped away.]

I DO NOT WANT ANY LARGE MEN DOING THAT TO ME!!!

6/??

[thegoofball]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.


That last message gets erased as well, though not soon enough to keep anyone who's being extra vigilant of the rock from seeing it.]

7/FIN

[thegoofball]

[And then, finally.]

Okay, you're right, we should just pretend none of this ever happened.

[piercetheheart]

Age has nothing to do with it. That just means I have more experience.

You're cute, kid, but not that cute.

[what happened here

he was going to erase the evidence but now someone (Gladio?) has replied and now…. he’s just going to add a small, neat annotation to the side:]

:o

[thegoofball]

Age has a lot to do with it!! It's probably the only reason you have way more experience!

[What would it be like, to be a person who actually thinks before talking? Who takes their time, when flustered and out of their element, before they just dig themselves a deeper hole?

Would it be nice? It would probably be nice.]

And I'm clearly cute enough or you wouldn't think I'm cute at all!!
