Technicalities were the small details other people stumbled over and Neptune was not going to be one of them. No way. Nuh uh.

So whatever, Sun, joke’s on you.

“Dude!” Pointing out that there’s no ground beneath either of them isn’t the way to calm a guy down, thanks a lot. Neptune’s ready to throw something at Sun, never mind the fact that he needs both hands on the branch at all times to balance himself. Man, if he’s gonna fall from his height, he hopes he goes face first and not ass backwards. Then again, bruised lips (and not from a steamy kiss) sound way worse than a sore rump (by completely innocent means). “I’m working on it, I’m working on it–all-you-can-eat pizza? Really? That’s the best you can come up with?”

He doesn’t have to roll his eyes when his voice is doing it for him.

“Just because you’re cheap doesn’t make me–WHOA!”

Neptune grabs at the branch (like a normal person) and notices that Sun is no longer clipping through it. Well. That takes care of one problem. Now to figure his way down. Lovely. Wonderful. Just peachy.

If only he hadn’t thought to diss all-you-can-eat pizza. Fate was a cruel mistress.

“If you don’t catch me, I’m telling Scarlet about–no, wait, he already knows that one. I totally have blackmail material on you, though, so look alive, pal!”

All-you-can-eat pizza hears a l l. 

His fall is sudden, quick, and relatively painless - he sticks his landing with about as little grace as he expected, considering the awkward angle in which he was stuck. He swings his arm and flexes his fingers, trying to coax feeling back into his numb limb. God. 

Now here comes the fun part. Well, fun for him at least, but probably not so much for the blue haired fellow stuck in the tree. He puts his hands on his hips at Neptune’s threats, trademark grin already back and growing. “Whatever happened to a good ‘ol fashioned ‘please’? It would probably win you a lot more favors, I’m just saying.”

Sun holds his arms out regardless, squinting up at his stranded best friend. “Is this the part where I’m supposed to say something reassuring like they do in stories?” He considers this for a moment, before clearing his throat and continuing in a sing-songy voice, “Oh Neptune, oh Neptune, I promise not to let thee fall flat on thy ass.”

At first, Neptune wanted to comment on the whole ‘caught by a hand in the branch’ factoid, but Sun’s grating greeting shot that idea out of the water. The beginnings of a look of awe morphed and twisted into heated indignation. Neptune raised a finger - now you knew he was serious - and threw right back, “You do realize that when a cat drags anything in, it means it thinks you’re incompetent, right? So yeah. Way to make yourself look dumb, genius.” Weak comebacks were his forte, thank you very much.

Boy, was that a way’s up that tree. Neptune perched his hand against his forehead, blocking out the sun in order to see Sun (haha, that’s funny). Cue an eye roll from our be-goggled (instead of bespectacled, get it?!) boy wonder. “Way to prove my point.”

A scoff and a smug grin later, Neptune proceeded to shimmy up the tree. It wasn’t until Sun was actually within his reach that he conveniently remembered that he was afraid of heights. (You know, ‘cause God didn’t think aquaphobia was funny enough and had to saddle him with all kinds of bullshit.)

Neptune bit back the whimper growing in his throat and began to chant in a none-too-assuring way “don’t look down, don’t look down, don’t look down” as he scooted towards Sun. The mantra must have sounded extra creepy as Neptune fixed his gaze upon his best (we’re using that word loosely here) friend.

No one liked to have a guy bore into your soul while his teeth clattered.

He fights an eye roll of his own at his friend’s remark, but bites back regardless, “Only you would try and get technical at a time like this.” 

While Neptune makes his way up, there isn’t much to do besides....well, hang. Pun one hundred percent intended. As the other gets closer, and his chanting becomes more and more audible, Sun takes the liberty of glancing up, raising an eyebrow partially in question, but mostly thinly veiled concern. “Uh....how are ‘ya holding up? Because you’re not sounding too hot yourself, and considering that we’re not exactly on the ground at the moment, that probably isn’t good.”

Doing exactly what Nep’s chants were advising against, he takes another look at what was below them, judging the distance and landing. A fall from this height probably won’t hurt him too bad, but Neptune was another story entirely. He can’t stick a landing to save his life. Admittedly, not everyone is born with a tail and fairly coordinated reflexes, but c’mon. Give him something to work with here.

“Just take a deeeep breath. And think of....uuuuuuh...I dunno, something happy...like all you can eat pizza or something like that.”

He’s trying. He’s trying really, really hard.

Of all the game glitches encountered in his lifetime, this is by far the worst. Possibly because he’s actually living it this time, but hey, anybody would be upset if they managed to get their hand stuck in a tree branch, right? Literally. In the branch. One misstep of his foot leads to disaster, apparently. 

The first screenname Sun sees for miles is one he happens to recognize, but it isn’t until that blue head of hair comes into view that he’s positive. Of course he’d just use his own name.

“Well, well, well....look what the cat dragged in.” He says, choosing to skim over the fact that he was currently strung up in a tree like an awkward piñata. It’s hard to look cool when you’re dangling in mid-air against your will.

It only takes a second for him to drop the pretense. Well, most of it.

“Okay, so maybe I got myself into a little bit of a situation. But I completely have it under control! All I’ve gotta do is....” More tugging proves futile, as does all the extra wiggling around. Probably looked pretty funny to any observers, though.

“...On second thought, a liiiiiittle help here would be nice, pal.”

“Ohhhhhh-mygod. You can get drunk in this game. That’s like the greatest thing ever. Here, here, you gotta try this stuff. It’s like vintage and I bought it with my own money? I can afford good liquor! Banzai! Hah hah, I’m like, I’m like, whoa…”

He shoves the bottle in the stranger’s face.

“What? What? How drunk am I that people started growing tails when I wasn’t looking? That’s funny. Wait, no, that’s fake, right? You got me!”

He’s laughing at himself, slapping his own knee–partly because that’s what you do when you laugh too hard and partly because he’s trying to support himself before he falls over.

“Uuuuuh, no thanks....”

He finds himself awkwardly waving a hand and side stepping the bottle that’s shoved in his direction - the other had probably treated himself to one sip too many if behavior is anything to go by, and he isn’t too keen on the idea of getting that trashed just yet. The tail comment is greeted by a dignified huff - it’s quite real, thank-you-very-much. It isn’t until he notices how dangerously wobbly the stranger is that he moves to support him on one side, hoisting him up. 

“Whoa, there. Going down?” He’s hilarious. “I think you’ve had enough, buddy.”
