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.]

[sorry can't hear you and your mission talk

too busy sparkling]

Uwaaaah! You're a bear! A real, cute bear!

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...I'm not cute at all.

[asobouyo]

But you are! I really like your ears and how you got black around your eyes!

[SHUDDUP LET ME LOVE YOU]

[bamboozler]

I would be a lot cuter if I was younger, right? Like my little brothers or my sister? That's what you're saying, isn't it?

[asobouyo]

No, don't be silly! You're super duper cute just like you are.

You have little brothers and sisters? That's so lucky...!! I don't have anyone littler than me, but I definitely wish I could be a big sister! Definitely.

I am so sorry for this thread

[bamboozler]

Ahh...? That's the last thing you should want! If you have a little brother and sister, they'll be cuter than you. Before you know it, your parents will cancel your birthday to make theirs stand out even more...! No one will want you around anymore!

never be sorry, never [1/2]

[asobouyo]

[RECORD SCREECH]







....

[asobouyo]

B-BUT CAN'T WE JUST SHARE?! WE CAN BOTH HAVE GOOD BIRTHDAYS!

[FUCK THAT I WANT TO BE THE CUTE SPOILED ONE]

I WAS JUST KIDDING I DON'T WANNA HAVE LITTLE SISTERS OR BROTHERS—!! I LIKE HAVING PARTIES!!

[bamboozler]

You'd think so, but their birthday is so close to yours that you have to all share one birthday...! Your birthday is canceled so you have to celebrate on their birthday!

[HIM TOO. HE WANTS TO BE THE SPOILED ONE. WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR.]

Because you're not celebrating on your actual birthday, you won't get the presents you wanted...! Or as many...! And it won't be "Happy birthday to you," it will be "Happy birthday to all of you!"

[asobouyo]

Noooooo!!

[THE HORROR]

D-did you have to do this before?!

[bamboozler]

Yes, it happened to me. If you're not careful, it could happen to you, too.

[asobouyo]

I'm sorry you had to not have as fun of a birthday...

[But her mom and dad love her a lot, so maybe it'd be different for her... if they ever came back, anyway. She couldn't have real siblings unless it was here. Not with her family as it is.

... She really misses them. She lowers her voice, soft.]

Um... What's your family like?

[bamboozler]

It's fine, it's fine. That's all in the past.

[...Except Yotsuba took his birthday, too.] Eh...we're just like any normal family. She vacuums me a lot, though.

[asobouyo]

Vacuums you?! Your mama does??

[...]

Do you roll around in dirt lots?

[bamboozler]

Not at all. I'm especially good at lazing around and reading comic books.

[asobouyo]

Comic books...! Those are really cool! I don't see lots of comic books around here, though...

[bamboozler]

They don't sell them at the stores here, do they...? I wonder how all of my favorite series are doing. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have magazines?

[asobouyo]

Hmmm... There's magazines at the library sometimes! Did you look thre?

[bamboozler]

That sounds like a lot of work. I'm better at lazing around, even when there's nothing to do. Maybe you could look?

[asobouyo]

Huh? Oh, no no noooo, Mr. Bear! You can't be lazy, or you'll get unhealthy! Exercise is very important, that's what my mama says!

[bamboozler]

It's okay...! I'm a panda, that's what I'm supposed to do. It's one of my best qualities.

[asobouyo]

BUT--!! How'll you get any stuff done?

[bamboozler]

I have someone else do it for me, or I don't do stuff at all!

[The easy life.]

[asobouyo]

... That's silly. You should do things for yourself! You'll feel really good when you remember you're taking care of stuff without any help!

[bamboozler]

I'll save that for someone else. It's too much work for someone like me.
