No, Yang. Why, was Haru missing something, too? [What the fuck is going on.] I still don't know how much they are not telling us and how much they really don't know, but someone has to know.
[Still. He rolls his eyes.] Look, if I'm the jock here I can just bully you into drawing a locker yourself. After that it would be easy to pick you up and shove you into it and walk away laughing with my friends while the camera pans out.
Her battleaxe. What weapon was Yang missin'? [ he feels like they should poll people. maybe he will if he ever gets exceptionally bored? for now a casual poll off and on works... ]
To walk away laughin' with your friends you would need to open the locker after shovin' me in it and help me out so we could then go get milkshakes, you realize. I refuse to believe in a highschool au where I am not still your best bro.
Not entirely sure. She didn't say. [And John, an idiot, didn't ask. He was more focused on Yang's ability.] But she made it sound like it was something that should not be missing.
[The chill walk is nice at least...also sorry, Dave, there is definitely a highschool AU where your bro isn't your bro, it's called Recollé.] That would be a pretty shitty au. But it's not like we ever really did the high school thing right anyway so maybe we can skip the locker and just go straight into the milkshakes instead.
[ dave just nods re: yang. ALSO FUCK YOU, THAT AU IS TRAGIC IN THIS VERY SPECIFIC WAY and dave chooses to disbelieve in that??? ]
Well, if you really wanna buy me a milkshake instead of shove me in a locker I will allow it. Anyway... [ when they hit the bathhouse area he'll take a step ahead and open the door, ushering john in ahead of him. ] Let's try to avoid gettin' burnt or pinched, although I rate our chances as middling.
[And John heads right in first, nudging him with his shoulder because yeah, milkshakes are preferable.]
I think if we make the fishing cage things long enough we can avoid most of that. Where do you think we should take them after we get them out of here though?
Yeah. There has to be more sources of water than just the bathhouse or there wouldn't be wild life. So I guess we can collect them all and then relocate them and then maybe...crab-proof the bathhouse so it doesn't happen again?
Is there such a thing as crab repellant? Like shark repellant but for crabs. Making the bathhouse crab-proof is a good idea since it will get pretty gross around here if people can't bathe without crabs.
I am thinkin' we should maybe have a look around for that. Either there's, like, gaps somewhere, or they're getting in through the water in which case we're goin' to have to put in grates or something.
That makes sense. It's a bathhouse, right? The water has to be changed out or something so it's not just the same boiling water for so many people, I think. So maybe it drains out somewhere? [Yeah he doesn't know how this shit works.]
Probably? [ like he knows????? ] We can check around the edges of things and see. We might actually wanna do that before we start tryin' to get the crabs out, since they will just come back if we do not stop them comin' in first off.
Good idea. Let's start from the back and work our way forward. Maybe by blocking the entrances we can herd the crabs to one location and help fish them out, too. Do you think boards would work for blocking? A grate would have to have bars small enough that the crabs can't shuffle in sideways.
I mean, maybe boards would but I feel like stone might be better? The wood would get all...wet, right. Which is fine, but I feel like stone might stand up to the elements more here.
[ he will start heading towards the back, though, stepping around any crabs. ]
[He follows without complaint, occasionally kicking a crab into the water with the toe of his sneaker as they go.] Maybe stone will work but rocks deteriorate under elements too especially moving water. And if the water is boiling it's moving. Metal?
Metal would be better than wood probably. [ SO...METAL IT IS? ] At some point someone - not us, necessarily, although we can - oughta fix this place up more. It ain't as bad as the cabins, but it could probably do with some deep cleanin'.
Yeah. If we get really bored I guess we can since this is where we'll be staying for a while. [The bathhouse is made of stone, too, but he's stopping in the back near the furthest pool.] Think we should look into fixing the cabins, too? They're pretty small. And we still don't even know where they came from.
I don't see why not. I mean...from my understandin', we may not be stayin' here when we're worldhopping, but we will be all around that? And it's not like we have anythin' better to do, man.
[ dave drops to a crouch, examining the base of the house here. ]
Exactly. But it'll be sort of exciting to travel don't you think? Even if we aren't sure how long we will be gone, it's something to think about. [While Dave's doing that, John's walking along the edge of the pool looking for any signs of how the water's flowing in or changed out.]
Do you think if we fling the crabs off of the island and into space they'd catapult back, too?
Okay but you agree it's still worth a shot, right? Maybe the crabs won't have the same impact we do because they're lighter so their pull to the planet isn't as much. [That's not really how science works but okay.]
We're not going to know until we try, so why not try? [A bright grin.] Plus, actually, it might be worth testing if it is a native versus invader thing. We do not know the possibilities of that either.

[ AS JOHN PROVED. CONCLUSIVELY. ]

We could check back in the forest and dump them in a stream somewhere. There has to be one of those somewhere for the boars, don't you think?
