Misses her 'friends'

[huddahuddafire]

Hrr hudda.

*She still has her little communicator though.*

When am I going back? I miss my friends. I miss my bench.

[And somehow, he gets the vague sense that Pyro is disappointed. Probably all that time spent with his own wearing into him.]

What, your mask doesn't count?

[huddahuddafire]

A mask isn't a hat.

*Look at how perceptive she is! Someone give the woman a prize!*

[hasstandards]

Well, make yourself one. I've seen you Pyros wearin' just about anything as hats.

[huddahuddafire]

Anything?

*Oh. Oh no. Stop her STOP HER!*

[hasstandards]

[Rather than stopping her, he's going to stare and possibly regret answering.]

Well, yeah. I saw one wearin' a glove once. He was also carryin' a mailbox at the time though, so I'm not sure you oughtta consider his choice in hats.

[huddahuddafire]

Did he have a lot of letters?

[hasstandards]

A lot of—? Oh. No, he was usin' it as a weapon... I think.

[huddahuddafire]

Oh.

*Thinking. Thinking.

You can actually see the gears turning. They need some grease.*

Was it on fire?

[hasstandards]

... No. It was a mailbox.

[Regretting telling Pyro this in three, two, one...]

[huddahuddafire]

But think how much better it would be if it was a mailbox that was on FIRE.

[hasstandards]

[Annnnd regretting it.]

... Right. That'd be loads better.

[huddahuddafire]

It would be! But first I need a hat! I can't do anything without a hat.

*And she's off to go hat hunting. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[hasstandards]

[He's just going to wait right here. No, he does not want to see what she finds.]

[huddahuddafire]

*Oh yes he does. And he will because she's back.

And some little kid will be devastated when he gets home. Because she's just taken a fishbowl and plopped it upside down on her head. There's a fat goldfish swimming round and her face, and a bubbling treasure chest on her head. The little castle and gravel are floating around near the top. She is just so so stylish.*

[hasstandards]

[More staring, though now he's a little uncomfortable.]

Er. That's... not really what I meant by a hat.

[huddahuddafire]

But it has a fish in it! It's the best kind of hat.

[hasstandards]

That's a fishbowl, not a hat. And what's gonna happen to the fish when you end up in pieces and go through the respawn?

[huddahuddafire]

It'll swim away to safety!

*Through the air. Like fish often do.*

[hasstandards]

With the bowl in pieces? You'll probably end up with glass in your filter.

[huddahuddafire]

Oh. I didn't think about that.

*OBVIOUSLY. Time to give little Jimmy back his fishbowl. Or try to. How did she get this on her head it's .. Stuck. Tugging on it now with all her strength.*

[hasstandards]

[More incredulous staring goes here. And more. Annnnnd some more.]

[huddahuddafire]

*Tug. TUG TUG. Meanwhile the water is sloshing everywhere, the castle is stuck in her filter and the fish is splashing around trying to get away.*

Hurggle!

[hasstandards]

[Sigh. This is reminding him too much of when a certain Pyro he knows glued her mask on.]

Look, sit down and hold still. I'll try and pry it off.

[huddahuddafire]

Don't hurt the fish!

*She sits down on the ground and puts her fishbowl covered head in her hands.*

My hat didn't work out so well.

[hasstandards]

No, no it didn't.

[He gets his hands on either side of the bowl and tugs. Wow, this thing is on tight. A few more tugs get him nowhere, so he puts a foot on Pyro's shoulder and throws his back into it.]
