Equius: Ponder demolition stratagies while taking a walk [Action/ Angrily dictated]

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[You know what? Equius was beginning to dislike the tower.

He had just settled in for the night, which was already quite difficult without a recuperacoon mind you, in his room that had just been completely repaired from its previous scuffle. And now he was wide awake.

Because he wasn't in his room anymore, or the castle for that matter.

Nope, he was somewhere in the town, minus his glasses and shirt which were most likely still in his room. Surprisingly, his journal was still with him. So there was that.

There was not much to it. The castle had messed with him once again and Equius was angry about it. Resigning himself to it with a sigh, the Troll started walking through the town and back to the castle. His grumblings, which were quite loud, could be heard through his journal.]

Of all the things to happen.... of horse I would be included in the shenanigans... The whole thing is so ludicrous, a proper castle should be built in its place.... Maybe with explosives.

They tried that once. It regrew. Like a lizard.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[He glances around before remembering his journal.]

It... regrew?

[mal_addict]

Yep. They managed to bring the whole thing down, but the next day it was good as new, as if nothing had happened to it.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

...Oh my.

Just what is this place?

[mal_addict]

Exceptionally craft for one thing. Marginally sadistic for another.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

I am beginning to dislike this place even more than before.

Is there any proper reason to want to stay here?

[mal_addict]

[Love springs to mind. The only thing that's ever made her reconsider her desire to leave. But now she knows even that could be taken away or given back at a moment's notice. To have their emotions toyed with]

No. I can't think of a single thing.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Of course not.

[Equius fumed for a moment but.... now that he thought about it:]

I guess I can think of one thing though. Myself and Nepeta were in danger back home. Here we're safe.

[mal_addict]

...I have heard of that. [It worries, her, really. They're just kids at the end of the day]

That is something to be glad for. Even I can admit to that much.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

That it is indeed. I am very glad that both myself and Nepeta are alright.

...Although....

[mal_addict]

Although?

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

I am beginning to wonder if there is something she is hiding from me.

Something that she does not want me to know.

[mal_addict]

Nepeta's a good kid. If she was hiding something, it'd be something she'd think would do you more harm than good in knowing it.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

I am aware of that.

I trust my moirail fully, and if she does not wish to tell me, I will oblige.

.... To think she was here almost a sweep without me.

[mal_addict]

That's good to hear, kiddo.

A long time. I'm glad she's got you now.

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

...Yes. It is very good that I am here now.

And I shall strive to stay here for as long as she needs.

[mal_addict]

A noble quest. I wish you all the luck in the world with it. [She doubts he'll be as lucky as he'd like, when the castle sends you home, it sends you home, no way around it]
