On (Possibly) Going to Ruby City

[intotheopenair]

First o' all, c'n Ah just say it's good tae be oot a' yer head? Yer getting an awfy lot o' us in there, surprised ye c'n hear yerself think half the time! Och, that's no' the point. Ah'm just happy that yer thinkin' a' taking me tae a game, mun. It'll be fn tae be able tae meet ithers an' see whit it is all these people blether on about. An' talkin' o' bletherin'...

Ah ken that the way they go on an' on about that movie is getting on yer nerves, but ye cannae blame the girls fer that! It's... oh whit's that word fer it again? Nah, Ah cannae mind. It's just those people blowin' gas anyway, an' daeing that convenient fergettin' thing that always seems tae pop up when it suits them. If they cannae be bothered tae actually put some proper thought intae whit they're saying, then you shouldnae worry about what it is.

So... when I gang tae this game, will I be able tae shoot an' ride? 

Comments

[fortfuntimes]

Well, ya definitely got your priorities in order. Though that prob'ly shoulda been your first question. [leans leisurely on his staff. sup, Merida]

[intotheopenair]

[Oh hey, Jack] Aye, I suppose it should ha' been, but the ... whit I went on aboot. It's been gettin' on baith our nerves lately. If I didnae saying something about it, she'd let it get tae her even more.

She 'hinks I'll be able tae ride an' shoot though, so that's grand

[fortfuntimes]

Great! Long as you're not stuck around indoors. [he makes a show of shuddering dramatically because that would be horrible]

I'm almost afraid to ask, but . . . What've they even been saying?

[intotheopenair]

[She shudders as well, because that would be horrible.]

Ach, it's naethin' really. It's just... Well, y'ken Anna an' Elsa an' how their movie's gotten really big? Mun's jist annoyed that it seems tae make people firget that ther were ithers movie's that had strong characters an' messages frae Disney.

[Slightly guilty look]

Ah... sort o' agree, but I didnae blame the girls! S'no their fault that people keep gassin' on aboot their story an' building it up tae a really big standard.

[fortfuntimes]

[rolls his eyes]

Big standard is right. I mean, if a buncha kids connect t' the sisters, let 'em. They prob'ly needed it. It's just annoying how everywhere they are. The rest o' you guys deserve the spotlight, too.

[and it's not like ice powers are new jeez, he was here first, Disney. he's not jealous YOU'RE JEALOUS]

[intotheopenair]

Aye, but like I wis tellin' the Mun, it's no their fault that they've been put everywhere. It just... it c'n make a person feel as though they didnae do the right things wi' their story. [Not that she's speaking her own thoughts here. Nope. Totally not.]

[fortfuntimes]

[he nods at it being not their fault. it's not, but he's still frosty at Elsa for all the attention she's STILL getting. they can be in denial over emotions together, like proper friends.

he pokes her forehead] Well, you did the right thing with your story, far as I'm concerned.

[intotheopenair]

[She gives a half smile] Aye, an' you did the right thin' fer yers an' all.

I jist... I wish they'd give those lassies a break. They're no givin' 'em a chance tae rest, and let people jist enjoy

[fortfuntimes]

[he returns with a sheepish smile] Thanks.

Give it a few years. People'll calm down and move on to something else. Then they'll come back to them and go, "Oh hey, I remember why they're so great. Let's watch their movie without going totally crazy."

[intotheopenair]

Oy, cheer up that smile. Guardian o' fun, ain't ye?

[With a sigh] Aye, we c'n hope so, but... well, ye see how people c'n get o'er any o' the movies. They're... devoted.

SO LATE

[experimentgonewrong]

[He's raising his hand! Looks like he's going to the same place you are Merida]

Ooo, ooo! Me too! Me, too!

STITCH IS NEVER LATE

[intotheopenair]

[Merida gives a wee laugh]

You comin' alang tae, wee yin? Place willnae know whit's hit it.

[experimentgonewrong]

Sitch, excited! But...no Lilo.

[He ears droop at that.]

[intotheopenair]

[Merida reaches out her hand, as if to try to comfort him]

Ah'm sure there'll be somebody there who'll look aifter ye till she shows up.

[experimentgonewrong]

...Ohana?

[Of course he would question that. Did she mean that perhaps someone who could be his ohana would show up? Myabe not lilo but one of his cousins?]

[intotheopenair]

[There's a quick discussion with the mun, because Merida's not actually sure what 'ohana' means, and wants to be sure, before she turns back to speak to Stitch]

Aye, wee man. A stand in ohana. An extended ohana. People who'll look after ye, an' care fer ye.

[experimentgonewrong]

So....bigger ohana. Different, but good.

[He gives a smile.]

What about you?

[intotheopenair]

Aye, very good.

[She grins]

Ah, well there's some people the mun an' me ken already at the game so I suppose I'll get taken care a' an' all.
