[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

[ The flamingo. Really. ]

Will that work?

[whichwayyoulean]

[It totally counts as a weapon]

It's a blunt instrument and the best I can come up with right now, so yes.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya pulls a knife out of her boot and throws it down. It quivers in the ground where it landed a foot away from the Once-ler. ]

You can borrow that. Hit them in the head hard enough then drive that into their neck. But it's not a gift so I'll want it back.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler stares at it for a moment, because...oh. An actual weapon. He'll reach over and pick it up awkwardly]

Uh...thanks, kid? Wow how many of these things have you even got on you?

[wolfchild]

I have a name.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He holds his hands up in surrender]

Okay, okay, Arya. Thanks for the knife. I promise you'll get it back.

[wolfchild]

Have you seen anyplace defensible?

[ Because the coward would know, right? ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Sadly the coward does not know]

You mean aside form the easily burned wooden buildings? No.

[wolfchild]

Figures.

[whichwayyoulean]

I guess I could try to build something...

[wolfchild]

Can you do it quick?

[whichwayyoulean]

I can sure try!

[Off he goes to rummage through his wagon. He's got his inventing on]

[wolfchild]

[ Arya hesitates a moment before hopping after him. ]

Can I help?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He pauses for a second, deliberating on that. He's not a fan of people helping him, but...desperate times]

Sure, see if you can find good, big pieces of metal and wood around the camp.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya races off to find them. See? She is good help. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[She is a good help, she is a super good help. He'll just continue creating a makeshift barricade]
