AL: AND THANK YOU, GA1ZKA. }:)  

TAKODA: -making his way downtown. downtown being the pool. and since that's where he's headed, he's got his swim shorts on, too. it'll be relaxing to soak while jamming about his feelings. he peeks inside the room to make sure gaizka is, indeed, there and he didn't accidentally misinterpret clown speak... it's very possible...-

GAIZKA: =His clown speak interpretation is most excellent, for indeed, there is a large clown inside the pool. Gaizka is leaning back against a wall looking towards the water, the lights in the ceiling off now as the ship happens to be in "nighttime" modus. There's flickers of light from the water itself however, thanks to the many tiny lights along the walls of the pool. Gaizka doesn't turn his head, but he must have heard Takoda coming.= got a PeEpIn' tom on our hands, so it SeEm. =Sounds amused, talking down to Mr.Sprinkles sleeping in his arms.=

TAKODA: -that comment has him snickering and he steps in, padding over to the other's side on bare feet.- 1T 1SN'T PEEP1NG, 1F YOU'VE BEEN 1NV1TED...

GAIZKA: =...Oh hai SwimShorts!Takoda. He eyes him as subtly as a gay clown can, which isn't that subtle at all. Snorting out his nose with amusement.= 

GAIZKA: peep a BrOtHeR still did do. 

GAIZKA: that WhAt action DoNe OcCuR, none matter how He TrY sPiNnInG it. 

GAIZKA: =Draws a finger over Mr.Sprinkles' snout gently, looking down at the goat friend, but still speaking to Takoda.= GoNn try swimming ThEm BaD vIbEs away?

TAKODA: -that is so cute... he loves to see this affection between a clown and his goat. it just warms his heart.- NOT SO MUCH, HEHEH. THOUGH AN ACT1VE L1FESTYLE, DOES HELP TO COMBAT SUCH TH1NGS! SOMET1MES. -slips into the water, but stays near the edge with his arms crossed over it and his chin resting on them. for a moment, he just watches gaizka and mr. sprinkles some more and tries to gather up his feelings so he can articulate them.-

GAIZKA: ViBeS and FeElS both meant to be felt BrOsEf, not to be hauled up pulled up for combat MoSt FaTaL. =Idly traces that one large finger over the soft goat snout, then behind an ear and over his back.= 

GAIZKA: =Glances upwards and snorts again, smiling.= and now he PeEp once more, the tom Be UnStOpPaBlE in HiM wAyS.

TAKODA: -grins, dipping his head to hide his face in his folded arms- 1'M SORRY. 1'M JUST TH1NK1NG. 

TAKODA: AND WATCH1NG YOU, DO THAT TRAC1NG TH1NG, WAS RELAX1NG ENOUGH TO HELP W1TH THE TH1NK1NG... AND THE SORT1NG OF THOSE THOUGHTS.

GAIZKA: =Look at this bull. He is precious.= 

GAIZKA: and so a HoMiE's thoughts be of MoThErFuCkInG oRgAnIze? 

GAIZKA: if AiN't so then ClOwN may continue ThEm TrAcEs. 

GAIZKA: on a BuLl BrOtHeR, if need be.

TAKODA: -face gets a little warm and bronze. that sounds nice.- ... 1 M1GHT CONS1DER ACCEPT1NG THAT OFFER, REGARDLESS OF THE STATE OF MY THOUGHTS. EHEHE.

GAIZKA: =Grins down at him.= might have to StIr a SpRiNkLe in such a case. make rOoM for another affectionate MoThErFuCkEr. =Pats his leg some.= :o)

TAKODA: -oh...- 1 WOULD HATE TO DO THAT, BUT... -he doesn't even care that he just got in the water, or that he's all wet. here he comes clamboring out of the pool.- YES HERE 1 AM. SORRY 1N ADVANCE, POSS1BLY, TO M1STER SPR1NKLES.

GAIZKA: =He doesn't care that he's wet either. Not that he cares overly much about anything. That water sticking to bull skin though, nice. He laughs, the sound bouncing off the walls. Somehow Mr.Sprinkles still slept through it, even if a floppy ear twitched.= HaHa! cease YoUrSeS aPoLoGiEs HoMiE. more than enough MaSs of this here ClOwN to go around. 

GAIZKA: =Scoops Mr.Sprinkles up in one hand, shifting a little to readjust his cross legged position. Get that blood flowing some again before sitting back. Pauses, then pets his lap.= SpRiNkLe might get his rest on at you? :o? =If Takoda sits, then he can put Mr.Sprinkles on Takoda. A brilliant plan.=

TAKODA: OH, YES. THAT SOUNDS L1KE AN 1DEAL PLAN, FOR EVERYONE 1NVOLVED. -he gets to cuddle them both at the same time? hot damn! with a smile and a little fidget, he climbs into this big inviting clown lap.-

GAIZKA: BiTcHtItS. =Grins wide.= ain't nothing quite like getting your ClOsEnEsS on at SoMeThInG wEt aNd WaRm like. =Waits for Takoda to get situated then gently places the sleeping goat on his stomach. Mr.Sprinkles stirs a little, but with another little finger stroke up his snout he lays still again. Gaizka moves his hand to make the same motion over Takoda's nose, placed on it then up the bridge.= 

GAIZKA: now, tell on at a MoFo what has your PaN a SwIrLiNg.

TAKODA: -with his arms around mr. sprinkles to cradle him securely, and gaizka running his fingertip gently along his nose, he instantly feels all the more relaxed, his eyes falling half lidded- AH... WELL... 

TAKODA: 1'VE BEEN TH1NK1NG A LOT ABOUT HOW 1... ADV1SED THAT EUROPA PULL OUT FROM THE1R ATTACK ON EARTH. 

TAKODA: 1 KNOW THAT... 1T WAS SOMETH1NG THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. BUT ALSO... 1T LEFT AN OPEN1NG, FOR ALTERN1A TO ATTACK. A WEAKNESS, EVEN? 

TAKODA: -looks up at him with brown eyes that reveal more exhaustion than he would usually let on.- DO YOU TH1NK... WHAT HAPPENED TO EUROPA WAS... AN 1NEV1TAB1L1TY?

GAIZKA: =Look at this cute shit, damn. He's hunched over to scope out this display, though it could have been much nicer without that exhaustion in Takoda's eyes. Poor motherfucker. Trying so hard for everyone even when he's tired as hell. Gaizka hums deep in his chest, letting that digit wander over Takoda's face. Up to his forehead and over a brow.= 

GAIZKA: fate got strange MaNnErS oF fUnCtIoN. paths of this universe WhAt We LiVe laid on out in TiMeS lOnG bEfOrE any of us BrOtHeRs did draw breath. 

GAIZKA: what path be open, what is close. DoN't MaTtEr NoNe in the grand DrEaMwEaVe of things. 

GAIZKA: FaTe pull her strings with UnFoRgIvInG iNdIsCrImInAtE. what matter be how you UsE and SeE what hand she has dealt.

TAKODA: HEH... YOU ALWAYS HAVE SUCH, A BEAUT1FUL WAY OF DESCR1B1NG THESE 1DEAS...

TAKODA: 1 REALLY HAVE A FONDNESS, AND APPREC1AT1ON FOR 1T. BECAUSE 1T MAKES ME FEEL L1KE, TH1NGS W1LL BE ALR1GHT, 1N THE GRAND SCHEME OF 1T ALL. 

TAKODA: BUT 1... UM... -sighs and closes his eyes, focusing on the light massage to his brow.- 1 ALSO F1ND 1T HARD TO F1ND COMFORT 1N THAT, WHEN THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH LOSS... 

TAKODA: ALTERN1A 1S W1NN1NG... AGA1N. AND THE CONDESCE-- THAT... TH1NG... -eyelids squeeze together tighter as the unpleasant thoughts swirl around in his mind.- 

TAKODA: 1T'S... SCARY. 1N GENERAL, BUT ALSO... FOR ME PERSONALLY... 

TAKODA: 1 SUPPOSE, 1'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO W1TH THESE, UM, METAPHOR1CAL CARDS.

GAIZKA: =Smiles.= BrOtHeR do try HiM bEsT at it. =Traces his finger down the side of his face, over his cheek then back up again.= 

GAIZKA: WaR aNd LoSs scary both, as tear away all WhAt MaTtEr WiTh SuCh EaSe. still AiN't GoT sUcH wIcKeD mOjO that she able to SnUfF all away. MiNe HoMiEs long gone, as WhAt HoMe I oNcE got. but never gone, you feel? =He places his hand over Takoda's heart for emphasis. It's alive there.= 

GAIZKA: that why ThOsE tHaT gNaSh AnD gNaW never GoNn WiN. that they never do find themselves what victory they are onset. take CoMfOrT in ThEm ReMeMeRaNcE fRaGmEnTaLs WhAt YoU gOt, for that ShIt can never be taken away by no BeAsT aNy MaNnEr oF bEiNg. 

GAIZKA: =Draws his hand back to trace across his face again.= still, a MoThErFuCkEr can only SpEaK of him own cards. what you do AiN'T nOnE oF mInE bIdNeSs. 

GAIZKA: but know she won't win, for that they never do.

TAKODA: -gaizka might feel takoda's heart beat skip for the moment his hand is placed there. a smile finally returns to his face when it all sinks in and he nudges his cheek back against gaizka's hand.- YOU KNOW... 1T'S HEAR1NG TH1NGS L1KE THAT... 

TAKODA: THAT'S EXACTLY THE REASON WHY, 1 DO THE TH1NGS THAT 1 DO. TAKODA: THE PEOPLE WHO BEL1EVE 1N WHAT 1S GOOD, AND WHAT 1S R1GHT, AND HOW 1T W1LL PREVA1L OVER ALL TH1NGS... 1T MAKES ME BEL1EVE 1T TOO. AND THAT MAYBE, 1F ENOUGH PEOPLE BEL1EVE, THEN WE CAN STAND TOGETHER, TO MAKE GOOD TH1NGS HAPPEN. 

TAKODA: THANK YOU, FOR BE1NG A PART OF THAT. 

TAKODA: FOR 1NSP1R1NG ME.

GAIZKA: =It's when he's like this that he's at his most radiant, when he has that smile on his face. Still, being complimented makes him turn his head down bashfully. He shrugs a shoulder, palm against Takoda's cheek and stroking it with a big thumb.= MoSt CuRiOuS how a BrOtHeR pUt HiM tHaNkS oN a ClOwN when who be the InSpIrErEr Be HiMsElF in PlAcE fIrSt. 

GAIZKA: =Moves his big mitt to very carefully and gently put his thumb and middle finger on either side of Takoda's cheeks, booping his nose with the index one.= keep on doing what you do HoMiE. that a GoOd PuRpOsE for your cards.

TAKODA: HEHE... 1 DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. MAYBE 1T'S MORE L1KE, A CYCLE OF INSP1RAT1ON? OR SOMETH1NG. -tiny nose wrinkle when he's booped.- 

TAKODA: 1N ANY CASE, 1 W1LL CONT1NUE TO DO THOSE TH1NGS, THAT 1 DO... 1T 1S, ALSO, THE MOST 1 CAN DO. 

TAKODA: BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE 1F THAT MAKES A D1FFERENCE TO YOU ALSO, THEN THAT MAKES ALL THE D1FFERENCE.

GAIZKA: SoUnD like SeNsE to this here MoFo. =Smiles and draws his hand back. Just. Back over the whole face, drawing it over it and over his hair. Ruffles the lil hawke business.= 

GAIZKA: MoSt you can Be BeSt you can. AlLs WhAt MaTtEr be that you Do. 

GAIZKA: that you Do and that you Is. 

GAIZKA: that what MaTtEr, when all HaS bEeN sPoKeN aNd aIn'T nO wOrDaGe LeFt To SpEaK.

TAKODA: PFF. HEHE. -laughing about the ruffles... it only causes some hairs to fall loose and into his face.- THAT 1S DEF1N1TELY TRUE. 

TAKODA: BUT ALSO... BEFORE 1 FORGET TO SAY AGA1N, THAT 1'M GLAD THAT YOU HAVE F1N1SHED YOUR OWN, UHH... PERSONAL ENDEAVORS. 

TAKODA: BECAUSE NOW, AS A RESULT, WE GET TO SPEND MORE T1ME TOGETHER, L1KE TH1S. 

TAKODA: WH1CH 1 M1SSED, VERY MUCH SO.

GAIZKA: =Makes a little noise in the back of his throat like a "mh". He didn't want to go too far into it, knowing that Takoda isn't big on violence. No matter how nice it had felt to finally crack the final skull open, how it had freed him of all the shackles and duties that he had. He lets his hand run idle, feeling at the shaven part of Takoda's head. How different the texture was from the hair on the middle of his head.= GlAdNeSs in EqUaL mEaSuReS hOmIe. ain't no more BiDnEsS dEmAnDeD from ThIs MoSt RoUnDeSt Of FlEsHbAgS than what put on himself outta him own WhImSy. 

GAIZKA: all what now is GeTtInG mY rEfAmIlIaR oN tHeM wHaT mAtTeR to a ClOwN. =Nudges his cheek with a knuckle. That means you.=

TAKODA: -it me...- 

TAKODA: 1'M GLAD THAT, WE ARE BOTH GLAD, THEN... HEHE... -a flush had steadily worked itself across his features, thanks to all this sentiment and affection, and takoda wanted to return the latter part of that favor. he turns his head slightly to nudge his nose at gaizka's knuckle and brush his lips lightly against his hand.-

GAIZKA: BeSt GlAdNeSs ThAt OnE wHaT bE sHaReD. =Grins, perhaps more at the flush on Takoda's cheeks than the words. The thick layer of paint on his face proving a true blessing once more when warm lips brush against his hand, as his own flush comes in secret. He laughs low.= DaMn. ought to share ThEm HiGh TiDiNgS of ClOwNaSs WiSdOm on a MoThErFuCkEr be this how he RePaY such NoIsE. =Internal wheeze.=

TAKODA: 1 CERTA1NLY WOULD NOT COMPLA1N 1F YOU D1D SUCH A TH1NG. -smiling wide against his hand.- BUT 1 ALSO DON'T REQU1RE, ALL THAT MUCH PROVOCAT1ON TO DO WHAT 1T 1S 1'M DO1NG. TH1S 1S MOSTLY JUST, A N1CE EXCUSE.

GAIZKA: MoThErFuCk. now he LaYiNg DoWn such SmOoThAsS noise on a fucker you'd think shit was BuTtEr. what purpose a HoMiE have for LaThErInG a ClOwN in that ghee oleo be one MyStiFyInG rIdDle on It OwN. 

GAIZKA: =Puts his whole palm over Takoda's face. Please stop making him blush, even if you can't see it. Shh.=

TAKODA: WELL, YOU SEE-- -he was GOING to respond, but now he has a giant paw over his face.- OH... -snickers and just... raspberries this palm.-

GAIZKA: =Denied! Which is a shame because he was fairly curious. Still he keeps his big ham hand there, then honks in loud surprise at the raspberry. Ears perked high and eyes wide as the honk bounces off the walls. He draws his hand back with a frowny pout.= then He SlObBeR all on a MoTheRFuCkEr. what do AlLa these signs mean? FuCkInG mYsTiFiEd. =Gently squishes his cheeks between two fingers.=

TAKODA: -he's just laughing like a dork, even when his cheeks are smooshed. especially then.- 1'M NOT SLOBBER1NG... A RASPBERRY, 1S BAS1CALLY L1KE... A VERY WET AND ENTHUS1AST1C K1SS. THAT'S ALL.

GAIZKA: =Gentle press on the cheeks when he laughs like a cute dork, then lets go with another huff.= dunno where you learned your MaNnErS of SmOoChInG. for ain't on a palm you go ahead PlAnTiNg SuCh LoViNg SlObBeRs. =Just saying.=

TAKODA: UMM ACTUALLY 1 TH1NK THERE 1S MER1T 1N K1SS1NG, ON VAR1OUS PARTS OF THE BODY, BUT OKAY. TAKODA: 1 SEE THE PO1NT YOU ARE TRY1NG TO MAKE, THEORHET1CALLY... -hehehe...-

GAIZKA: =L I S TEN................ He is too gay for this. He is too indigo in the face for this.= 

GAIZKA: =Puts his hand back over Takoda's face.= if point seen then why YoU iS pUtTiNg dOwN tHeM aRgUeS.

TAKODA: EHEHEH. -muffled nerdy giggles that are only silenced when he presses his lips to his palm again, but in a sweeter and less slobbery smooch.-

GAIZKA: =Mmmmgh. His ears are down and flat against his face, the indigo spreading to his ears. He would press his palm harder against him if he wasn't worried he'd accidentally crush his face. Instead just keeping it there, letting him kiss his palm while his chest did that light fluttering thing.= 

GAIZKA: water musta gone to your pan somethin' MoThErFuCkInG fIeRcE.

TAKODA: -he would love to see emotive purple ears, but alas, all he can see and focus on the hand he's still kissing and nuzzling to.- UHH 1 WOULDN'T REALLY, BLAME THE WATER, 1F MY BEHAV1OR SEEMS S1LLY SOMEHOW.

GAIZKA: =Messiahs take the wheel. He can't deal with this, but he doesn't want it to stop either. A true conflict of impulses which leave him just doing nothing.= 

GAIZKA: that so? 

GAIZKA: then what is? just a HoMiE feeling all ShAdEs AfFeCtIoNaTe AlLa SuDdEn like?

TAKODA: THE AFFECT1ON 1S A GESTURE OF APPREC1AT1ON, FOR WHAT YOU HAD SO GENEROUSLY SHARED W1TH ME. 

TAKODA: WH1CH 1S TO SAY, THE N1CE WORDS, AS WELL AS THE RELAX1NG FACE TOUCHES. 

TAKODA: UH... AT LEAST, THAT 1S WHY 1 STARTED, BUT ADM1TTEDLY, 1 F1ND A LOT OF PERSONAL PLEASURE 1N THE ACT, OF K1SS1NG ON YOUR HAND...

GAIZKA: don't have to put any LoViNg ReWaRdS back at a HoMiE for putting down what it is you both ask and need. would do that in any case, be it from your AsKiNg At Me or nah. 

GAIZKA: =Exhales sharply through his nose. He's all huffy at this affection, Takoda please. He is very gay. He withdraws his hand slow to look at his face. Hunched over and looming.= ... 

GAIZKA: but you always been AfFeCtIoNaTe as AlL hElLs MoOmIn. ain't nothing new, nor how it be InFeCtIoUs. =Kisses his own index finger and gently presses it to Takoda's forehead.=

TAKODA: -yes, this is good. He's grinning lopsided at this returned kiss.- YES, SEE... YOU UNDERSTAND MY DES1RE TO EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH HUGS, AND K1SSES, AND UHH... OTHER METHODS OF TOUCH1NG. 

TAKODA: BUT 1 HOPE YOU DON'T M1ND, 1N ACTUAL1TY... BECAUSE YOU SEEM A L1TTLE D1SGRUNTLED.

GAIZKA: =A upward twitch to his smile about "other methods" of touching. Not that he is against that idea, at all, in the slightest, but he's still flustered. Odd really, since "other methods" is something he does frequent. Just not with people that gave him such flutteries in his tumblies. He moves the finger over his brow, humming thoughtfully.= 

GAIZKA: ain't a BaD GrUnTle. 

GAIZKA: but GrUnTlE there be. 

GAIZKA: as a MoThErFuCkEr got No GrAsP on how a HoMiE manage himself so PrEcIoUS.

TAKODA: HUH? 1S THE HOM1E 1N TH1S SCENAR1O SUPPOSED TO BE ME? -now he's just bashful, and it's clear by the crooked smile and the color in his face.- 

TAKODA: BECAUSE FROM MY PERSPECT1VE, 1T 1S YOOOU THAT 1S THE PREC1OUS ONE!

GAIZKA: well i ain't SpEaKiNg Of SpRiNkLeS just ThEn. =Big toothy grin, then goes wide eyed. Laughing out of reflex.= HaHaHaHoNkHah! BrOtHeR-- =Gently puts his hand over his face again, so that he can't see his own bashful smile.= DeScRiPtOrS like such and BiGaSs MoThErFuCkEr like myself don't blend. 

GAIZKA: =Lifts his hand again though, just so he can adjust how Takoda lays in his lap. So he can wrap his arms around him and Mr.Sprinkles both, just. Hugs him back into his fat tum.= need YoUs PeEpErS checked.

TAKODA: -this is ideal, yes. he gladly snuggles up to his middle, a rumbly chirr rising up from his throat.- MY V1S1ON 1S JUST F1NE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 

TAKODA: AND BES1DES, 1 CAN TH1NK OF PLENTY MORE 1NSTANCES, WHERE SUCH COORELAT1ONS ARE TRUE. 

TAKODA: L1KE... A SNORLAX. YOU ARE PREC1OUS, L1KE A SNORLAX, WHO 1S ALSO  B1G, W1TH THE1R CLAWS AND PO1NTY TEETH.

GAIZKA: got MiNe DoUbTs on ThEm FaCtOiDs. =He'd snort, but he's too flustered and trying to listen to these chirrs that Takoda is producing.= 

GAIZKA: =Furrows his brows, looking down.= sNoRkAwHaT? >:o?

TAKODA: SNORLAX. 1T 1S A POKEMON, WH1CH 1S L1KE, HUMAN F1DUSPAWN. THOUGH 1T 1SN'T QU1TE AS GOOD, 1 ST1LL F1ND THE SER1ES TO BE PRETTY ENJOYABLE.

GAIZKA: and this PoKeY cReAtUrE mAn got HiM sNoRkS and SnOrEs on something big and FiErCe with ThEm BiGgAsS cLoWn MiTtS aNd BiTs? =Headtilt.=

TAKODA: YES, THAT 1S CORRECT. 

TAKODA: HE 1S AS RELAXED... AS HE 1S ROTUND.

GAIZKA: =Puffs his chest.= prolly got MiNe KnOw HoWs on out ChIlLiNg this RoTuNd as FuCk MoThErFuCkEr.

TAKODA: -chuckles against his tum.- YOU ARE PROBABLY R1GHT ABOUT THAT. 1F YOU METHODS OF CH1LL1NG, AND THE1R CURRENT EFFECTS ON ME, ARE ANY 1ND1CAT1ON. 

TAKODA: 1'M SO RELAXED, 1 COULD VERY L1KELY, JUST FALL ASLEEP R1GHT HERE...

GAIZKA: =Proud huffs, then puts a hand on Takoda's head to pet him.= then whilst a MoFo MoSt TrIuMpHaNt revel in HiM vIcToRiEs a bull may ClOsE hImSeS eYeUlArS to go on SoMe WiLd ChAsE fOr ThEm Zs.

TAKODA: -peers up at him with half lidded eyes.- THE POOL SEEMS L1KE, A FUNNY PLACE TO TAKE A NAP, HOWEVER... -looks down at mr. sprinkles and mutters.- 

TAKODA: (NO OFFENSE TO YOU. 1 DEF1N1TELY, CAN'T BLAME YOU. HEHE.)

GAIZKA: have MiNe doubts SoMe FiErCe that pool ain't MoSt FuNnY pLaCe a BrOtHeR has got his ReSt On. MR.SPRINKLES: =Now he actually cracks his tired goat eyes open, staring at Takoda thoughtfully then gives a soft bleat in agreement, then closes his eyes again. Let him rest.= 

GAIZKA: =Smiles at the bleat and gently pets Takoda some more.= see? LiTtLeSt HoMiE agree. =That wasn't what Mr.Sprinkles actually agreed on but he doesn't know! !! =

TAKODA: -chuckles again, nudging slightly into the pets.- 1 DON'T TH1NK HE 1S AGREE1NG W1TH YOU, SO MUCH AS HE 1S W1TH, MYSELF.

GAIZKA: =Stares down, then huffs.= DaMn. betrayed by HiM own goat. never thought would be living still to BeAr WiTnEsS upon such GrIeVeOuS sHiT.

TAKODA: HEHE... WELL, 1 HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT 1 AM A RATHER PERSUAS1VE 1ND1V1DUAL...TAKODA: SO 1F HE HAS UNEXPECTEDLY TAKEN A TURN, THEN 1 APOLOG1ZE, FOR TH1S ACURSED CHAR1SMA.

GAIZKA: better get that AcUrSeD nOiSe under control HoMeSeF, elsewise you GoNn have a HeRd of all MaNnEr of goats following you 'round.

TAKODA: THAT SOUNDS VERY N1CE, ACTUALLY... 1 DO HAPPEN TO HAVE AN AFF1N1TY FOR GOATS. -pauses, thoughtful- AND MOST OTHER BEASTS...

GAIZKA: =Laughs.= sounding to me like a MoThErFuCkEr GoNn Go Do Up himself surrounded by all ShAdEs of WiLdErBeAsTiEs at SuChiN rate.

TAKODA: THAT SOUNDS N1CE... -closes his eyes as he thinks about it- DO YOU TH1NK, 1T W1LL BE L1KE THAT ON THE COLONY? 1 HEARD THEY'VE BEEN DO1NG A LOT OF FARM1NG, AND SUCH, THERE...

GAIZKA: =Smiles down at him, then hums thoughtfully as he looks back up.= longass green hills forever BrOsKi. filled all WaYs up with every MaNnEr Of WoNdErOuS bEaStIeS big and small, all just waiting to make your MoThErFuCkInG aquaintance. GoNn have yourself a NiCe FrOlIcK time into them sunsets with all YoUr SoFt As HeLlS buddies.

TAKODA: MM... -his eyelids feel much heavier, day dreaming about all the furry friends he may get to meet once they land.- THAT SOUNDS... VERY N1CE. 

TAKODA: 1T W1LL BE... N1CE TO REST. F1NALLY.September 9, 2016

GAIZKA: =Scratches behind one of Takoda's eas.= mh. may even lay a TiReD aSs down in the grass, FiNdInG himself some SaCrOsAnCtIoUs PeAcE within from BeArInG wItNeSs of that above.

TAKODA: -it's a nice thought... One that finally lulls him to sleep, out like a light, and like the goat friend still held close to his chest. He hasn't felt this secure in a good long while.-

AL: NYALAH 1S GO1NG TO LOOK FOR H1M, WH1CH 1S A TH1NG SHE 1S VERY GOOD AT, SO 1 FEEL THAT THE TASK 1S SAFE 1N HER HANDS. OR PAWS, AS SHE WOULD PROBABLY ENJOY ME REFERR1NG TO THEM AS.

JP: certain our FeLlOw fElInE will be able to search out this most MyStErIoUs of DiSsApPeArAnCes.

JP: ain't no MoThErFuCkEr capable of straying from her ways.

JP: worry not BrOtHeR.

JP: it will all ReVeAl itself in the end.

AL: YEAH. 1 AM HOPEFUL THAT 1T W1LL ALL WORK OUT, AND THAT DAVENFORTH 1S OKAY.

AL: AND NOT ALSO DEAD, L1KE H1S CL1ENT.

JP: to keep that hope within your CoCkLeS is all what you can be doing HoMiE.

JP: none JuDgEmEnT shall come to pass until all is ReVeAlEd.

JP: fate decides if we are to be mournin' a poor FoOl or not.

JP: until then ain't much to be done but letting yourself live as you have.

AL: YOU'RE R1GHT, ABOUT 1T BE1NG OUT OF MY POWER, WH1CH 1 W1LL SADLY ACCEPT. BUT BECAUSE OF MY 1NSP1RTED COCKLES, 1T 1S A L1TTLE EAS1ER TO DO THE ACCEPT1NG.

JP: CoCkLeS such as those on you make most matters much more simple to manage, such is their way.

JP: inspiring those around you with such an AuRa my most StRiCt of BrOtHeRs.

AL: AWW. THANK YOU. }:)

JP: nah HoMiE. should be all else who be thanking you for giving us all such a MiRaCuLoUs view. :o)

AL: HAHA. OH, YOU. SUCH A FLATTERER.

AL: BUT UH... WHAT WAS 1 TALK1NG ABOUT? OH!

AL: THE MEET1NG, AND 1T'S SUCCESSFULNESS. WH1CH 1S TO SAY, QU1TE SUCCESSFUL.

AL: 1 SUGGESTED THAT THEY MEET UP W1TH OUR OLD FR1END JOLENE. BECAUSE 1 THOUGHT, SHE M1GHT BE ABLE TO HELP THEM W1TH THE1R MONEY PROBLEM.

JP: to send idle words PuFfEry of into the ReAlScApE ain't mine style. got naught but the most GeNuInE brand of WoRd sTrUnG for the comrades here.

JP: expect none less but success knowing who is on this job.

JP: this MyStErY MiSs some that would help with this? must be having her MiTtS on a vast amount of CoLd hArd nUmErAls.

AL: OH YES, SHE USED TO HELP US W1TH OUR OWN COLD HARD NUMERALS, BACK 1N THE DAY.

AL: 1 GUESS YOU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER HER, OR NEVER GOT TO MEET HER? WHO KNOWS. BUT 1N ANY CASE, JOLENE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN 1MPORTANT ALLY AND FR1END TO OUR CAUSE.

AL: AND 1 TH1NK SHE W1LL BE THOSE TH1NGS TO THE UU, ALSO.

JP: helpful BaBeTtE must have FlOwN herself away from any radar of mine.

JP: a right shame to hear witness upon, as she be of such help as you are BeAmInG at me.

AL: 1T 1S A SHAME, BECAUSE 1 TH1NK YOU WOULD L1KE HER VERY MUCH.AT LEAST, 1 F1ND HER TO BE A L1KEABLE PERSON.

JP: with FrIeNdEnTiAlS such as that then ain't no question in her being likeable and a RiGhT TrEaT.

JP: might get some opportunity to be sharing some JoViEs with her one day.

JP: be that this life or the most GlOrIoUs of NeXt.

AL: WELL, MEET1NG HER 1N TH1S L1FET1ME 1S DEF1N1TELY A PROBAB1L1TY. 1F WE CAN CONV1NCE HER TO COME V1S1T US AGA1N... PREFERABLY SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER.

AL: BUT 1'M GLAD SHE 1S MEET1NG W1TH THE UU BECAUSE, SHE HAS BEEN LOOK1NG FOR THEM FOR SOME T1ME. AND ALSO, HAS HUMAN FAM1LY THERE, WH1CH 1 AM TOLD 1S A VERY 1MPORTANT BOND TO THEM. HUMANS, 1 MEAN.

JP: i see.

JP: such bonds of FaMiLiArItY are important to most, or so people have slowly been realizing.

JP: will include her name in the PrAyErS that i make, so ain't none found themselves ShAtTeReD before a goodbye might pass from her lips.

AL: THAT 1S A GOOD TH1NG TO DO, 1F 1T 1S SOMETH1NG THAT 1S 1MPORTANT TO YOU, AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND YOU. WH1CH, 1 KNOW 1T DOES, SO 1 AM EXTRA SUPPORT1VE, WHEN 1 SAY THESE WORDS.

JP: and so the support further BlEsSeS the words i might have to say.

JP: i thank you BrOtHeR, but now mine attention is drawn elsewhere.

JP: SpRiNkLeS needs to get his MoThErFuCkInG food on.

AL: OKAY. }:)

AL: TAKE CARE OF YOUR L1TTLE BLEATBEAST FR1END, AND 1 W1LL SPEAK W1TH YOU AT A LATER T1ME.

AL: ALSO, YOU SHOULD DO THE CAR1NG FOR YOURSELF, ALSO.

JP: so it has been, and will be done.

JP: the words ReFlEcTeD upon yourself HoMie.

JP: until we next speak. :o)
