"Pretty sure it takes more than hearin' shit to be considered fuckin' bonkers."

[general-kalani]

{ @ninevoltcolt liked for a starter from Pagan Min! }

"Well now, who do we have here? Hello there, welcome to Kyrat. My wonderous kingdom. If there's everything you need, I will provide."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Uh, thanks... What, like you personally?" He tilted his head. "Mind tellin' me who this 'generous provider' is?"

[redjaybird]

"Am not, ya little shit! I have a shit-ton of fun!"

"Cats do it when its not theirs."

[ninevoltcolt]

"The boring kind."

"Didn't say it had to be theirs. 'Course plenty of animals do that, too. Like I said, nature's default is savagery" Though his tone doesn't suggest he sees this as a BAD thing...

[redjaybird]

"I could do without the fireworks and shit just fine, thank you."

"Yeah, that sucks, but, tough times, 'nd all."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Yeah, well you're boring."

"Cats an' some monkeys do it for fun."

[redjaybird]

"Nothing else can build shit as complex and disgusting as we do, though. Nothing else makes explosives an' shit. Or weak-ass guns."

"No one has any saving graces."

[ninevoltcolt]

"No shit, but mos' of us also don't rip babies apart an' eat 'em alive, either. An' I'll admit, explosives CAN be pretty fun~! Would be a lot more boring without some fireworks."

[redjaybird]

"Humans suck the most, though. We fuckin' ruin everything."

".... Cool. Okay."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Yeah, so do deer, beavers, an' some bugs. There's jus' nothin' keepin' humans in check but other humans. So 'course we suck."

"Some more 'n others..."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Stupid fuckin' tree-humpers..."

[redjaybird]

"Yeah, clearly they're a perfect fairy tale creature that doesn't exist."

"The humans still definitely suck, though."

"You did cannibalism?"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Exactly, so don't fuckin' lecture me while pointin' at impossible shit to 'try to be more like'. An' yeah, humans can suck like any other animal. We ain't special magical braid-unicorns."

"Yeah, nothin' else to eat but bugs so 'course I did."

[redjaybird]

"Ok, that is a fair point. Its.. really weird, and gross, they they connect to everything like that. Like what the fuck?"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Hey, if I had that option, I'd absolutely use it. Mighta meant less parasites an' cannibalism. Doesn't mean I'd get so high sniffin' my own farts that I'd talk down to someone that actually had to fight their way to the top of the food chain."

"'Oh, we don't need any of your silly medicine', bitch do you KNOW how much of a GODSEND that shit is?! All that convinced me is they got no disease either, which makes my point!"

[redjaybird]

"Just because you don't know how to deal with nature and how circle of life bullshit works don't mean its savage. What year are you from? You sound like those- what'd they call 'em? Colonialists?"

"If humans didn't fuck up our own planet in the first place, we wouldn't have been trying to take over another one."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Buddy, I've lived out there for longer 'n I'd care to admit. An' I ain't sayin' I hate it- in fact, I much prefer it to any city. But actin' like it's a paradise where if ya jus' hump a tree then you'll have everythin' ya need with no violence other 'n an occasional hunt? That's jus' downright disrespectful."

"An', again, they got a whole cheat code to the planet built into their head an' they wanna lecture US? That's like buyin' a hacked game then tellin' everyone who's playin' it right that they all suck at it."

[redjaybird]

"Why's that?"

[ninevoltcolt]

"'Oh, you humans're so stupid, y'all should live in harmony with nature like us'- Yeah, that'd be nice, 'cept we don't have A BUILT-IN CHEAT CODE TO THE PLANET!"

"An' 'harmony with nature'? There IS no 'harmony' in nature! I don't care how 'harmoniously' ya use palm leaves to wipe your ass, the default for nature is SAVAGERY."

[redjaybird]

"Yeah, same. Mine are 'you guys shoulda just murdered all the invader humans.'"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Mine's they're all a buncha pampered, lazy hypocrites."

[redjaybird]

"You can't call your stupid-ass, 'pretty' planet 'Pandora' just because the name sounds pretty, too. Do you even fuckin' know the story of Pandora? Its something you use for a planet of chaos. A real Pandora. Dumbfucks!"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Oh, I got WORDS for those giant smurfs."

[general-kalani]

"Y'know what, first of all, not in the way. Second of all... Neat wolf y'got there. What's its name?"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Well NOW ya ain't." He huffed a bit, patting the beast's neck as it let out a low growl.

"His name's Ghost."

[adventures-written-archive]

Tesla gently pat his nose when he licked her hand, watching him for a moment before Colt climbed on in front of her. She had never ridden a Tomas before, so this was going to be new to her overall. The desert was a vast place, something she had not experienced from the outside of Knives tower.

She gave a small nod, though she did not really understand how tightly she would need to hold on. She did grip at Colts' sides, but not too tightly. She was still nervous about holding onto him, a stranger.

For the first bit she was ok. They had not gone too fast or gone over any strange terrain so she was not concerned in the slightest. At least until they ran over some softer pockets of sand and Ghost had to work hard and faster to keep them stable and keep moving. The jostling of this caught her off guard and she suddenly fell backwards off of Ghost. A look of confusion crossing her expression before she hit the sand and was sent tumbling down a dune. She would be fine, if a bit disoriented from the fall.

Sitting up, she blinked, looking around as if trying to assess what had happened.

[ninevoltcolt]

Sand dunes were a bitch no matter what creature was trying to climb them (with the possible exception of worms). Colt gently urged Ghost along, and it almost seemed like they made it to the top without incident- until he felt the little hands of his passenger leave him.

"AGH- WAIT!" Seeing his temporary charge tumbling down the dune had him and Ghost immediately turning back, chasing her down in an attempt to catch up and stop her fall. All this succeeded in doing, was sending him down the hill in a sandy tumble as well.

At least the landing was soft.

"...Yanno what? Maybe you sittin' up front's a better idea. Y'alright, hon?"

[ninevoltcolt]

"Yanno, I hate the desert sometimes. I swear, I got sand in cracks I didn' even know I had."

[adventures-written-archive]

Plant robberies, yea. That was putting it simply. It wasn't general knowledge that it was the Eye or Knives taking that stuff. Hell, the general populous probably didn't even know Knives existed. Especially when everything came back on Vash, his twin.

Steadying his gaze on the man, he maintained a bored expression. He didn't want to give away too much. "Sounds like a good enough deal, I suppose," he stated simply, "Have you heard of what happened to Jeneora Rock? Most aren't one for charity cases, but they could probably use some cheaper supplies right now."

[ninevoltcolt]

"Oh, afraid I forgot to introduce myself! Captain John Jakobs, at your service, chief." He held out a gloved hand to shake.

"Who hasn't heard what happened at Jeneora Rock? In fact, their refugees have probably been one reason I've been so busy lately! I presume they've all been moved to nearby cities for now, can't exactly stay in a pile of rubble on this planet, no?"

"Of course, the July Military Police had swarmed the place when word got out... Up until last month, at least." He tilted his head, looking Roberto over. "I assume you know what happened there."
