[Public Channel | Day 143]

[hippocarnival]

[ The radio comes on to the sound of creaking wood and a familiar voice that is, for once, not sounding all that agitated, though it’s a little distant. ]

“--just burn us out of this.”

“Then you’re just going to burn us with it!” [Yuya’s tone, comparatively, sounds snappish.] “Don’t--don’t do anything, I’m going to get us help--”

[The radio clicks off. And then immediately clicks back on.] “Hello?”

[The anger’s been smoothed out of his voice, and instead Yuya is sounding fairly composed.] “Is there anyone available right now who doesn’t mind coming to the Summerlands? We’re, uh--we’re stuck.”

“In a tree.” [ Lambert contributes helpfully. That’s not super specific or anything, and that’s is why burning things would help! There’s another creak of wood, something shifting and shuddering, and his tone doesn’t change a jot as he continues. ] “Which may or may not be trying to hug us to death.”

[Yuya is just going to ignore Lambert’s fatalism.] “We don’t really know where we are, but we were drifting… east of the city? Do these things have GPS?” [Does half the carnival even know what GPS is?]

“We’re going to get out of the tree!” [He pipes up confidently, despite it.] “But help would be appreciated.”

If you're sure... [It's still a better plan than Lambert setting the tree on fire.] Someone's coming who can talk to trees, would you be able to carry them?

[espigeon]

Positive! Yeah I'm pretty sure I could. Flying back, again, harder. I have a way to carry groups but it's not fun for anyone, so if no one's hurt it might be better to hike back.

[ And he's going to butt in here: ]

I can get a horse, so that part's not going to be a problem.

[ Where is he even keeping one??? ]

[espigeon]

...One of those unicorns?

[whattaprick]

No. I got her from one of the previous worlds we visited.

[espigeonage]

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but how do you fit a horse into a hot air balloon thing?

[whattaprick]

There's a device that lets me carry her around in my pocket. Don't ask me how it works.

[espigeon]

Ah... is this Tinymon logic? Travel-sized forms? That'd be kinda cute actually.

[whattaprick]

Like I said, don't ask me. I just know it works.

[espigeon]

No I want to know now! Do you have a little, superdeformed chess-piece size horse on you?

[Just like anime.]

[whattaprick]

No. There's just ... a ball that they go into.

[ BIG SHRUG? Also yeah Yuya's just here listening to this conversation about potentially tiny horses, sorry buddy. ]

[espigeon]

Awww. That's way less cute. And probably more convenient, I guess.
