re: upcoming event at tushanshu

Oh, let me think why I wouldn't be happy with the entire city going underwater! As if that wasn't bad enough, there are also plans for zombies-- and that's before the rest of you muns get together and plot other things happening.

Don't get me wrong, I like a little chaos as much as the next person but potential drownings are not, in any sense of the word, even remotely FUN.

The drowning part is, last time I checked, still up in the air. It doesn't matter if I'm not the one doing the drowning, watching someone else have to go through it is even worse!

[peckish4action]

... then leave my brother-from-a-different-universe do the watching - or rather, not watching but rescuing - and you stay whelmed and make sure the zombies don't get you?

You can freak out afterwards.

[wintershepherd]

Hey, I'm allowed to worry about my friends too, you guys don't have a monopoly on that.

[peckish4action]

... all right, yes. You are. Just not to panic at a bad time, all right?

[wintershepherd]

[ he scoffs ]

I'll keep it together, if that's what you're worried about. Cool under pressure, okay?

[peckish4action]

[Dick watches him for a second, then grins suddenly.]

Absolutely. You'll do fine. It'll be all right.

[wintershepherd]

[ suspicious; why the sudden 180... ]

Yeah. Thanks.

[peckish4action]

[because he approves, and you also amused him with the wordplay?]

No problem. [Sideways smile.] I'm also usually good at the whole... overcoming scaring problems thing. For me and others. Not sure if the me that you know there has mastered that, yet.

[wintershepherd]

[ That does earn Dick a faint smile, because Jack rarely stays irked for very long. ]

Does this mean I should be giving pointers, since you're not there to teach him the ropes?

[peckish4action]

Oh, believe me, he's already good with the ropes again. Scary as they maybe were... flying was the only way I knew how to keep close to my family. No way was I going to give the trapeze or any other form of flying up.

[wintershepherd]

[ That definitely gets a smile from Jack. ]

Flying's like nothing else in the world, isn't it? The Wind was my only friend for a long time, so flying is... special.

[peckish4action]

[Dick's lips curl up, too.]

If everything's gone... I'll always have flying. It was the first thing I learned, balance and staying up in the air as long as it was possible. Just... without the Wind.

[wintershepherd]

Maybe the Wind has had a breeze in it, you just might not have known.

[peckish4action]

Now, that? That would be asterous!

[wintershepherd]

... huh?

[ He understands puns, but this is something else. ]

[peckish4action]

Right! If dis makes something the opposite, then aster would be opposite of disaster, right?

[wintershepherd]

You're not making any sense at all.

[peckish4action]

Why not? Just think of it!

[wintershepherd]

I'm thinking, but it's still not working.

[peckish4action]

Seriously? Disbelieve, the opposite to believe. Disallow, the opposite of allow. Hence, disaster, the opposite to aster.

[wintershepherd]

Okay, a little funny since that's Bunny's first name, but I still don't think it's a word. I'm going to mention it to him anyway, because I think it'll get his ears in a twist.
