Another test drive

[ferrouswheel]

[Congratulations.

You're out in the woods.

Possibly because you just fucking wind up in weird ass places. You weirdo. Or maybe you're some hunter or frontiersman.

At any rate you get two options.

One, something just fell of the cliff. A short guy. Not.. ludicrously short, but like. 5'3. And he sits up out of a literal huge-ass crater something his size should not make.

TWO, the same short guy walks out of a nearby lake with a giant fish under his arm. Not 'swims to the surface'. Walks out. Like he was standing on the bottom. He spits out a little stream of water. Pshooooo.]

[ CLAPPING!!! ]

[ferrouswheel]

[Wow look at this loser sitting up out of the crater.]

I'm not sure trying to get around digging is that impressive, but thanks you.

You. Person.

[You goddamn tiny.]

[happyforever]

It was pretty cool!

[ferrouswheel]

I guess falling off a cliff without dying is pretty cool.

If I had to think about it.

[DIGGING SOME BIG ROCKS OUT OF THE CRATER THO.]

[happyforever]

And you made a huge boom!

[ferrouswheel]

That was really.

[JUST STUFFING A ROCK INTO HIS MOUTH AND CHEWING AND LITTLE ROCK BITS GOING EVERYWHERE.]

ah 'ide effeh'

[happyforever]

Rocks aren't a food.

[ferrouswheel]

'eh are 'or me.

[SHOVELS A HANDFUL OF SMALLER ROCKS IN, CHEWS.]

'one'orn.

[happyforever]

Don't talk with your mouth full!

[ferrouswheel]

[GULP.]

Sorry.

Yeah, I can eat rocks.

It's a Stoneborne thing.

[happyforever]

Tell me more!

[ferrouswheel]

[He has to think.]

Well it's.

Just kinda something that happens, to some people. Born that way. I'm kinda stone...stoney.

Stone-like. I'm like a stone. I can eat rocks but the more rocks I eat the more stoney I get so I try to hold back most of the time.

Except gems. I like gems.

[happyforever]

Were your parents rocks?

[ferrouswheel]

No.

[THAT'S DUMB.

YOU ARE DUMB TINY DRAGON.]

It's just a luck of the draw sorta thing.

It has it's ups and downs.

[happyforever]

[ jokes on you I'm just PRETENDING to be dumb for happiness reasons ]

Maybe your bloodline was blessed by the god of rocks! That's what happened to me.

[ferrouswheel]

[SHIT]

It's kinda a shitty blessing then, since part of it is that I can't have kids.

[happyforever]

You could adopt!

[ferrouswheel]

That's not a bloodline, though.

[happyforever]

Maybe it's spiritual!

[ferrouswheel]

The point is I don't think it's any kinda blessin'.

Just something weird.

[happyforever]

It's something cool!

[ferrouswheel]

Mostly weird.

Like, if I don't scrub myself good every day, seeds start to take root in me.

Thas' weird.

[happyforever]

That's kind of cool.

[ferrouswheel]

It can kill me!

Eventually.

[happyforever]

Lots of cool things are dangerous!

[ferrouswheel]

Well.

I guess that's true.

But the coolness of like a bush growing out of my shoulder is too much trouble.

[daturainoxia]

[ I'm a Tales party member this is nothing new tbh.

...Well the walking out the lake is, but. You know. ]

[ferrouswheel]

...

...

I need this fish.

[Like his immediate thought was you wanting to eat his fish.]

[daturainoxia]

Ah, I'm not going to take it, or anything.

[ferrouswheel]

Oh.

Good.

[JUST DROPPING IT IN THE DIRT THEN.]
