[The oodachis probably are a problem, that's true. Or Iwatooshi. Probably Donut too, he seems like the kind of guy who'd stand on his horse.
Either way, the trip back is pretty uneventful! Seems like Aoge's tired out, even though it's hard to tell because he just... moves at the same pace all the time... But once he's all carefully put back in the pen, Kashuu turns and gestures toward the park area.]
So! Let's go have a look and see if we can find those slides.
[Aoge's had so much exercise...too much walking for one day? He was truly a real asset back on the battlefield.
Also, Naki hadn't actually expected to go looking for slides? For some reason. But this sounds like a good adventure! A non-deadly adventure! Unless they get too close to the pond again, maybe? Not that he minds. He looks at Kashuu, looks at the park area, aaaand starts walking.]
I wonder how many slides we might find in this park? Or how big they could be!
[He's a tired slow horse who earned a nap and an apple...]
We can keep track of 'em, I guess. Some of the tantou might want to try the smaller ones out... I wonder how big the biggest ones are? Maybe we can take some pictures.
[He's already pulling out his CereVice... There's another park just beyond the one they were just at with a bigger slide, though!]
[Considering this is Cereal, it wouldn't be entirely surprising if they found a slide big enough for a Transformer or something....but first! Naki moves ahead, scouting out the area past the first playground, shading his eyes for a better look around.]
Hm, this slide seems bigger than the first...perhaps the next will be even bigger!
[The fox has climbed onto his head for this. Double scouting! Once Kashuu snaps his picture though, Naki will climb on top of the slide for an even better look around.
Hmmm.....maybe over that way? There seems to be a playground totally covered over in vines or something.]
[They'll totally go to the vine-covered playground so covered in vines you can barely see the playground...Naki even helpfully points at it, from his position on top of the slide! Before looking down.
...Right. Sliding.
Hm.
He puts one foot on the slide. Wobbles! Sticks his arms out for balance? This is totally how you go down a slide, watch him kindasortamaybe walking down! With the fox still on his head!]
[Glancing over to see where Naki's pointing-- Why is there a small jungle in here. But as he's turning back around to be like "no", Naki starts walking(ish) his way down the slide and Kashuu is immediately distracted.]
...What're you doing?
[Does he have to teach this punk how to go down a slide properly?? LOOKS LIKE IT.]
[Wow Naki doesn't have a death wish, he's just curious!!
Dangerously curious?
At least he's not actually moving in that direction yet.]
Is it a wrong choice? We simply thought one of those plant-covered structures seemed to be shaped like a slide...but we could try a different direction instead, I suppose.
[Honestly it's less that he really wants to go and more that he's just going. Plants aren't swordproof so it should be fine, right? They're not robots, he can cut them down no problem, everything's perfectly fine, there's nothing to think about here.
So his answer to Kashuu's displeased approval is to start silently heading towards planthell.] Onwards! For exploration!
[For exploration, ugh... Is he developing fine lines and wrinkles yet? He feels like he might be.]
At least let me go first, okay?
[Naki seems to be lacking in the danger senses department... If he goes first, he hopes he'll be able to dodge out of potential Bad Situations before they get really bad.]
[Hey he's totally got danger senses! He just...isn't using them......right now. Yeah.
He lets Kashuu go first though, following close behind, curious about what the mysterious vineland might hold. If they're lucky, it might not be dangerous at all! Just plain old normal vines.]
Either way, when they first enter the general Vine Zone, things are actually pretty innocuous! The vines aren't moving, at least, and there aren't any suspicious corpse-shaped lumps under them... Kashuu toes at one of the nearest pieces with his boot, making a face.]
[He does when they're on a mission or something at least....
Those vines do look a lot thicker now that they're up close though, huh? He steps up to the jungleish area himself, looking around at it all...copying Kashuu's toeing at it...maybe tugging at a vine with one hand.....hm.]
This seems like a job for more than just two uchigatanas, now that we look at it.....
[TRUE... True... He just uses up all of his reserves then, clearly.
But he'll watch Naki carefully when he moves to actually touch a vine with his hand. Nothing happens, at least! Yet. Naki might feel that the vine is a little unnaturally warm, though...]
You couldn't tell that from way back there when you saw that the whooole park was covered?
You never know! was what we were thinking, at least...
[Warm vines...warm from the artificial sun? Warm from hot playground equipment?(???) The fox can't feel it from his shoulderperch, obviously, but after a moment Naki (still holding the vine) decides to speak up himself.]
[It doesn't start slithering! Yet. But Kashuu seems to be thinking something along those lines either way, and waves a hand toward Naki with Great Concern.]
Don't hold it if it's warm! Plants aren't supposed to be warm, are they? That isn't normal at all...
[SUSPICIOUSLY EYING THESE VINES.
If Naki is looking that way, he might actually see a little bit of movement over toward the far west side of the vine park...]

For now, though, Kashuu's just taking advantage of the prime opportunity right in front of him.]
Hey! Since you're already up there and all, why don't you give that slide a test and see how it is?
[Smallest fox can come along for the ride, clearly... And Kashuu will just merrily film from the side like a Proud Parent™.]

[by way of the slide? Maybe???
Kashuu didn't exactly say to slide down the slide.]
no subject
I thought you wanted to actually slide. Isn't that why you got up there?
no subject
[He points again, over toward vine country, once he's down on the ground.]
no subject
[Both Naki and smallest fox don't know how to let their inner children free, apparently!!
And Naki also might have a death wish?! Why does he keep going toward the dangerzones...]
What, do you seriously wanna look over there? There's probably nothing to even slide down. It's all covered in gross stuff.
no subject
Dangerously curious?
At least he's not actually moving in that direction
yet.]Is it a wrong choice? We simply thought one of those plant-covered structures seemed to be shaped like a slide...but we could try a different direction instead, I suppose.
no subject
I mean, even if it is a slide, what do you wanna do? Peel all those vines off?
[Naki doesn't even use them right?! It'd be so much effort for no return!]
no subject
.......I hadn't thought that far.
no subject
Think about these things first! What they aren't even normal vines, huh? What if they're vines that strangle people to death or eat 'em?
no subject
[Naki nods. Keep on agin,' babysitter Kashuu! You'll be older than jiji in no time!]
no subject
Are you just ready to jump into danger or something? Geez... [SO TIRED.] I guess we can check it out if you really want to, though.

It smells like the jungle over here.
[GROSS.]
So, what. You wanna just hack at it?

Those vines do look a lot thicker now that they're up close though, huh? He steps up to the jungleish area himself, looking around at it all...copying Kashuu's toeing at it...maybe tugging at a vine with one hand.....hm.]
