[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?]

Pretty much. Adults don't have the same appreciation.

[rose_of_battle]

I'm not so sure about that.

[She smiles.]

Aren't adults the ones who make the machines?

[gottaknockhard]

You have to make a living somehow.

[rose_of_battle]

[She looks away for a moment then back.]

Yeah, I guess you do, but there are people who find the jobs they like to do.

[gottaknockhard]

Or they're complacent enough not to complain.

[rose_of_battle]

"Complacent"? Doesn't that mean "happy" or "pleased"?

[gottaknockhard]

Well, not everyone sees it as a bad thing.

[rose_of_battle]

You don't like being happy, Spike?

[gottaknockhard]

[...ahah. You know, some people might argue that.]

I'm a simple guy. I'm hungry as long as I've got a full stomach.

[rose_of_battle]

So...that's a "yes"? Because, I mean, whatever makes you happy doesn't have to depend on size.

*happy.... Not hungry, that makes no sense haha;;

[gottaknockhard]

I wouldn't worry about me. I can live through the giraffes.

*hugs* It's okay!

[rose_of_battle]

[She chuckles.]

Somehow, I don't doubt that.

[gottaknockhard]

How long are they going to be, anyway?

[rose_of_battle]

I have no idea. And I don't think we can rush them.

[gottaknockhard]

We can leave them behind.

[rose_of_battle]

I hate to do that, but maybe we're making them nervous now, too.

[gottaknockhard]

Exactly. Better to move on, see what it's all about.

[And he seems to be getting ready to do just that. There has to be something interesting out here.]

[rose_of_battle]

[Sheena looks at the giraffes, torn between staying or going, but finally settles on going to check things out, but first...]

Could you hold on a sec? I need to do something first.

[gottaknockhard]

[He quirks an eyebrow, but nods.]

Sure. I'll wait here.

[rose_of_battle]

Thanks. I'll be right back.

[And she is, having only left a note to the giraffes, thanking them. Leaving it where she hopes they'll find it, she's soon back with her friend.]

Okay. I'm ready!
