4th episode [voice/action]

[bamboozler]

[November 17th]

[Panda's been signing up for special missions as often as he can, but he never gets chosen for them. When he is chosen, he decides to share it with the journal so everyone can hear. It is his first mission, after all.]

Yaaay! I'm going on a mission! Isn't that exciting? I usually sign up for them and hope I don't get chosen, but this time I'm looking forward to it.

Hmm...what should someone going to the desert wear...?

[After making his announcement, Panda moves rather quickly to the clothing shop. He wears clothes on occasion...usually when he wants to fit in with his surroundings...and this is one of those occasions. He can be found trying on all sorts of things. In particular, he seems to be trying to decide between Darth Panda style or Biker Gang Panda style. It's a hard choice indeed. Which will strike fear into his enemies more...?]

[November 22nd]



[It's the day after the mission, and Panda still hasn't made it home. He crawled into the first empty apartment room he could find and has been sleeping there on and off for almost a day. It's unlikely anyone notices he's missing, given his tendency to sleep in weird places, but he addresses the journal.]

Ehhh...missions aren't fun at all. Even though they're easy for someone like me, I'm never going on one again.

[After he gets hungry (which isn't long after he looks at his journal), he crawls to the grocery store. He can be found snacking there on bamboo, or he can be found sleeping in the furniture store. He wanted another bed, so he went straight for the closest building and pulled himself up. He might be cowering under the covers just a little.]

[ooc; This is a before/after kind of post for the stupid Panda who decided to try helping others for a change. He'll respond to anyone on either day or both if your character would speak to him twice.]

That's right, Shinji! Isn't that great? I'm going to put in as little effort as possible!

[shinesbrightest]

[On one hand, if Panda had been chosen for this, maybe it meant it was something he could handle? But then again...]

I-I'm not sure that's a good idea, Panda. I mean, it could be dangerous if you don't put in any effort.

[bamboozler]

Don't worry, don't worry. I'm going to put in as little effort to be successful as possible.

[shinesbrightest]

Aren't you even a little nervous?

[bamboozler]

Hey, if I do a really good job, do you think I'll become a hero...?

[shinesbrightest]

I guess it's possible. [But jeez, if it were him, he'd be so nervous. He can't believe that even Panda is braver than he is.] Just be careful, okay?

[bamboozler]

Hmm...If you want me to exercise caution, I really don't like exercising at all...can you rephrase it in a way where I don't have to do as much?

[shinesbrightest]

[What. Who even asks that?

...Panda, of course.]

Um... Don't get hurt? Don't do anything dangerous?

[bamboozler]

Ahh...! Now there are things I don't have to do! Thank you, Shinji!

[shinesbrightest]

[...you know what, he's not even going to argue about it. He just sighs.]

You're welcome, Panda.

[bamboozler]

Mm! You can do that anytime, you know.

[shinesbrightest]

Do what? Tell you not to do things?

[bamboozler]

Tell me not to put a lot of effort into things.

[AKA you can tell him to stop doing easy things, like being Panda, but he won't.]

[shinesbrightest]

I'm not sure I should do that.

[He doesn't think that's a thing he should be encouraging!]

[bamboozler]

I give you permission...!

[shinesbrightest]

[WHY DOES HE EVEN TRY. He gives up.]

Okay, Panda. Whatever you say.

[...he's still not going to do it!]
