You're not serious about this, are you? About finding a place to 'play' me, right? Because if you take me from here, who's going to make sure things get done? There isn't exactly anyone who can fill in and direct the fairies, I've never been absent for this kind of thing.

[Tooth.]

Honestly, this isn't the kind of thing you joke about! It's not a funny 'ha-ha' joke anyway and besides, aren't you busy yourself with your work? You sure like distracting yourself a whole lot. Really, I'm fine with those occasional 'memes' you've been offering me up to —all things aside, let's be honest—,

[Tooth.] But a 'game'? We're gonna have a problem here, missy.

—Ah! [TOOTH and there she goes, spinning around to some of the fairies.] Central incisor in Durban, and a—

[2cool4guardian]

Why not? Not all games are bad, Tooth.

[bloodandgum]

It's not that—I'm worried about the children.

What'll happen if I get sent to one of these games, my work, those kinds of questions?

[2cool4guardian]

Well, you could do with a vacation, if you ask me. Come on, when was the last time you took a break?

[bloodandgum]

[A smile crossed inbetween sheepish and well...]

I'm pretty sure you know that answer, Jack.

[2cool4guardian]

Exactly. Relax, Tooth. Look around, smell the roses, all that jazz.

...you deserve it.

[rideofthefearlings]

Why your majesty, it's almost as though you're afraid to open yourself up to new possibilities. A little stuck in the past, are we?

[bloodandgum]

Oh, believe me. [don't you have some bed frame to hug]

Fear is the last thing on my mind.

[rideofthefearlings]

[ no he does not, no hugging allowed ]

I would believe you, but I'm afraid I simply know better.

[bloodandgum]

[is this a Pitch thing, or just because]

Afraid, you. Right. [Her lips twist and she exhales, refusing to let him ruffle her feathers this time.] Enjoying your time here?

[strongestcoward]

Tell them to pick somewhere you'll have to wear pants.

[bloodandgum]

I doubt that would work, to be honest.

[strongestcoward]

Tch! Typical. You know it's very distracting! Almost as much as those...little yous. With the beaks. Don't they sit still?

[bloodandgum]

You can only feel things though! That's different from what everyone else sees. [She huffs at that.]

Being part-hummingbird will do that. I'm sorry, but I can't change the way the girls and I get around.

[general_pitchiner]

[My, what a very talkative woman. Pitchiner raises his eyebrows, watching her fly around, watching her fairies as well.]

If anything, I'm sure your little helpers would be more than willing to keep this in order while you're gone.

[bloodandgum]

Well you see— [The fairies go every-which way after a few choice words and some encouragement ('take no prisoners, ladies!'), to the point where they're all gone by the time the man speaks. Whirling around, she stares, confused.]

—Pitch?

[general_pitchiner]

[Kozmotis blinks, furrowing his brow in confusion. But he offers a small smile.]

Kozmotis Pitchiner, actually.

[bloodandgum]

I, I'm sorry— I thought.... [She... She can work with this. Looking down and smoothing out some feathers on the side of her head, she nods, holds out a hand.]

Toothiana. You can call me Tooth, for short.

[i_believe]

Memes are a lot of fun! But a game sounds like fun too. 'Sides, you're a Guardian! You'd be fine.

[bloodandgum]

Hello, Jamie. [She gives a smile at that comment at least.] It's more so the others I'm worried about, honestly.

[i_believe]

The others huh..? Well I wouldn't worry so much! Muns seem to know what they're doing, so I think everything will be fine.

[bloodandgum]

You really think so?

[snowman]

Games are horrible. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[never thought he'd be saying something like that, but then he did get dumped into a desert.]

[bloodandgum]

I— [Pause.] What happened?

[snowman]

I got dropped into the hottest place possible, and it takes away everyone's powers so I can't even do anything about it.

[it's not that bad, but it's nice to vent a little.]

[bloodandgum]

[Brows furrowed, she moves in to hug him.]

Nothing at all?
