NO YOU CANT YOU ARENT GOING

[smallmailman]

But he's my dog! How come I'm not allowed to go, too?!

[LOUD WHINING.]

Awww, come on! I'm a Wilderness Explorer, I can handle anything, even really REALLY scary places!

[ 1) THIS IS WRONG. 2) does not want to deal with a child. ]

I hope you're the kind that respects the decision adults give. [ because she isn't ] You can always play with him later, yes?

[smallmailman]

But the computer lady said that he's gonna be stuck there for a while 'cause there's not really a lot of ways to get out.

[that's his dog WHY ARE YOU ALL SO INCONSIDERATE!!!]

I never get to do anything fun.

[havearaft]

You don't want to go where he's going.

[smallmailman]

Yeah, they said it was gonna be really dirty and creepy and stuff. But I'm not afraid of anything. Not even the monsters! I saw even more scarier stuff already so I'm not gonna be scared of them at all.

[this poor child is from a disney canon HE DOESNT EVEN KNOWWWWWW]

[havearaft]

Have you seen torture?

[bokator]

[Small child you have just made Rose put on her Disapproving Big Sister face, which is far more terrifying with only one eye, trust me.]

Where's your mom?

[smallmailman]

She's at work!

[so nonchalant about this nbd.]

Your eyepatch is really cool. Is it hard to see like that?

[bokator]

[This eyebrow is now Raised, young man.]

No. [She bends down, and whispers conspiratorially:] I have super-vision. Shhhhh.

[smallmailman]

[his eyes go

slowly

very, very wide]

That's why you only need one!

[bokator]

[She smiles.]

Yep. And I can see your mom coming to pick you up soon, okay?

[smallmailman]

Really?! I thought she had, um, an important conference call! That's what she told me, anyways.

[bokator]

[Busted. Rose covers it with another wide smile.]

She does! but she'll be back soon, and you won't have to worry about that town. Ever.

[Ah! A small human! Groot likes small humans.]

I AM GROOT!

[smallmailman]

[IT'S.... A TREE THING???? Russell doesn't look scared so much as a little uncertain-- but he waves up at Groot nonetheless.]

Um... hi, Groot. I'm Russell!

[i_am_groot]

[Groot waves, then peers down with some concern.]

I AM GROOT?

[asoothingvoice]

[Nope.]

I'm sure your player knows how brave you are. It just means she doesn't want to send you someplace dangerous, even with your dog.

[smallmailman]

I've been to way more dangerous places than a city, though. It's not fair. Everybody else in her head is always doing cool stuff and I've gotta stay in here all the time.

[thneedisgreat]

Your mun took your dog away from you?

...but she isn't letting you go to a dangerous place. I'm torn here.

[smallmailman]

No, it's sorta different. Somebody else took my dog over there. But she says I'm not allowed to go too because I might get hurt.

What if Dug gets hurt? Who's gonna help him? [:cccccccc]

[thneedisgreat]

Oh! Well...uh. I can actually see why you'd be upset. I'd be worried if someone took Melvin someplace and didn't let me go.

But, I'm sure your dog is in good hands! Who doesn't love dogs?

[gneisskid]

Are you sure? I mean, I get that you explore the wilderness and stuff and someone you know's going there, but you're probably kinda young. [ so says... some scrawny 13-year-old who's probably gonna end up there. truly a pinnacle of authority. ] Wouldn't it be more fun to find a place that's... more fun?

[zunarjayfive]

[How about a cat? Who seems to be watching the young human curiously. Almost like he understands what's being said.]

[agentsix]

[....why was he always the one stuck with the child?]

Your dog?

[Perhaps if he clarifies the situation first....]
