[suddenlybees]

Huh. Yeah. I'm, like, nobody worth remembering, but you said something like that to me before too.

[ He picks himself off the floor and dusts off his backside, trying to peer past Goat's mask. ]

Aren't you just Konoha? You, like, came over and had dinner and slept on the couch and everything?

[retellers]

[ there is nothing to peer at, kano!! ]

I-I don't know what you're talking about...

[ distress ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Squints!!!!!!! ]

Take off your mask.

[retellers]

No. I'm not allowed to.

[suddenlybees]

Says who? Fox says there's no boss. C'mon, I'm not gonna tell on you.

[retellers]

No.

[ :T ]

[suddenlybees]

[ T:

Kano's going to risk broken arms reaching up and trying to grab for Goat's mask. A rooftop is a great place to do this. ]

[retellers]

[ they step back. kano, no. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ This roof is limited space, he will trot after Goat everywhere they go. ]

Aw, come on, it's just me! Buddy? Pal? Are you embarrassed? 'cause of your eyes?

[retellers]

[ confusing increasing,,, ]

My eyes? I don't understand...

[suddenlybees]

[ He's going to follow Goat around like a duckling, trying to make a swipe whenever he can. ]

What color are your eyes? You ever take off your mask to see?

[retellers]

What colour do you expect them to b—wah!

[ the thing about them constantly stepping back is that they're not paying attention to where they're backing up to

which is to say that they accidentally step off the edge of the rooftop. off the roof they fall! ]

[suddenlybees]

[ NO!!!!!!!!!!! This isn't how it was supposed to be!!! This is so stupid— the way Kano's hand reaches out before he can stop himself, the way he manages to grab Goat's wrist but his feet have already left the rooftop and he's also falling, very acutely aware that there is nothing he can do to save Goat in the first place, and now he's just doomed himself too. Stupid stupid stupid. ]

[retellers]

[ KANO, WHY DID YOU DO THIS.

the good news is that no one is breaking their neck today! though that might be bad news for you, because you're a menace. but once kano grabs goat's wrist, they manage to press their hand against the wall of the planetarium as they fall, and then--

they're both on the ground. obviously. but it won't have felt like they landed; rather, to kano, it would seem more like they just teleported there. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ There's that wave of nausea again. There's no fear, but nausea from the motion of it all, the falling and the stopping and the disconcerting nothing in between.

Kano does not let go of Goat's wrist. ]

...What did you do?

[retellers]

[ they sit up. ]

I moved our space.

[suddenlybees]

[ That is not a Konoha thing, as far as Kano knows. It's not a thing? How can that be a thing? ]

Can you, like, move it slowly, bit by bit, next time we fall off a roof? Man, what a ride...

[retellers]

[ they stand up, dusting off their cloak. ]

What matters is that you're safe. Nausea will pass.

[suddenlybees]

Nah, that doesn't matter at all.

[ Kano reluctantly lets go of Goat's wrist. ]

But man, to think there's an eye power like that. We really could use the help, you know? Can't you, like, move our space outta here? I got stuff I need to do— all these guys don't need me here.

[retellers]

No... I'm sorry. I don't have that capability.

[suddenlybees]

[ Come on, just more their space little by little in slow motion and get them out of here....... would be too easy, huh. ]

What about the rest of 'em? Fox and Tiger and Buffalo and Giraffe and all of 'em? Can they do that sort of thing?

[retellers]

I don't think so... Swan might be able to do something similar?

[suddenlybees]

You don't think so? I guess you guys have only known each other, what, three days? Four?

[ Can't be much longer than the rest of them, though it's not fair they get to keep being special but Kano can't change his eye color and Elsa can't go fwoosh!. ]

What can the other guys do? Anything fun?

[ anything USEFUL ]

[retellers]

Er... you'll have to ask them.

[suddenlybees]

Why can't I ask you? You're supposed to be my leader, right? I'm countin' on you, here.
