alli i'm crying at this shitpost it really is mandy

[duranduel]

...O-Of course I'd be my regular color.

[He huffs, though he waves back, albeit a little half-heartedly.]

It looks like...you're still the same color as ever.

[headmt]

I hadn't planned on changing any time soon.

[Ugh, extroverts.]

Enjoying ... [Waves hand.] School?

[duranduel]

I still have a headache from theoretical physics, so. Uh, no?

[A shrug.]

How are you, uh doing with school? I'm new to all of this school stuff, but I bet you've got a handle on it...

[headmt]

I-- I look like a person that's attended a school before?

[He has facial tattoos.]

[duranduel]

Uh.

[...]

[He's blushing again.]

I-I-I was just saying in general! Like having a handle on it means...you're dealing with it better! Nothing about going to school!

[headmt]

[Mandy, you're hilarious. Molly just reaches over to pat him on the cheek.]

You're not wrong. I do have a little experience waking up in unexpected locations. But I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly!

[duranduel]

[molly PLEASE]

Erghhh... [EMO GROAN] I don't know...and wait, what do you mean, "unexpected locations"?

[headmt]

I mean blue suude and clear liquor combined leads down strange roads and into ditches sometimes.

[drugs.]

You're worried about what it all means? When the other shoe is dropping? The hammer to fall?

[duranduel]

...Oh. Sounds kinda exciting, though.

[Mandricardo, no.]

Uh. [And he looks away.] Yeah. It seems like...too good to be true.

[headmt]

Very exciting! Or I suppose it would be if I could remember it. Bit of a blackout situation.

[yeah mandricardo do some drugs.]

That's because it is. But the thing about waiting for a sword to hit you is that it's going to hurt the same if you tense for it or not.

[duranduel]

That's just pushing yourself too far. But at least you had fun?

[yeah he deserves to do drugs]

...Hm. [And a thoughtful look.] That's right. Though, I can't really help it. I'm the type who just worries too much, you see...

[headmt]

Now that I can tell.

[He pauses, squints at him - leaning forward to really look.]

Only one solution.

[duranduel]

[LEAAAAAAANING BACK WITH CONCERN]

Uh. What is that?

[headmt]

Come with me, we're going to find some shit to get up to right this instant!

[And just confidently walking off in ... some direction. Any direction.]

[duranduel]

[JAW FALLING OPEN]

Huh? HUH? [And oh no, Molly is going. Mandricardo............follows!] Hey! H-hey, wait!

[headmt]

I've been told no drugs by Sally, but surely there's something good out there-- [Looking around, looking around ... ] You know how to swim?

[duranduel]

Uh, yeah? I know how to swim...

[Just blinking at the "no drugs" part.]

Why? Do you want to go to the pool?

[headmt]

[Trotting along, now definitely heading towards the pool!]

Yeah, why not! That thing is pretty remarkable. Never seen anything like it. So clean. Half the time when you want to go for a swim, nothing but muddy hell holes around.

[duranduel]

What, really? That sucks.

[feeling awkward because WOW BAD RESPONSE THERE, MANDRICARDO]

I-I mean, yeah, it's nice...that we have such a thing here. And it's pretty...

[headmt]

[He laughs REALLY loud at that. That's great. Sass? He loves it.]

Well, what's home for you like?

[duranduel]

[He thinks for a moment.]

Oh, its a place of a lot of grasslands, so fields as far as the eyes can see...and then we also have rather steep mountains, too, to the west. It's a very pretty place...but it's been a long time since I've been home.

[headmt]

[Tilting his head.]

Somewhere else traveling, then?

[duranduel]

[A nod.]

I left my kingdom to become an adventurer, and also to...do something important. I never went back, not because I didn't want to, just...it just never happened.

[headmt]

Then, I suppose, to one day seeing home again.

[The pool! Molly spots it and starts taking his extravagant coat off, just throwing it over his arm instead - before he gets to the poolside and then sitting down on the ground to start unlacing his very, very tall boots.]

Not that I really have one. But you get the point.

[duranduel]

...If it's even there anymore.

[He says, almost murmuring it to himself. Mandricardo follows, before standing awkwardly at the pool's edge next to Molly.]

You don't have a home? As in...you don't know, or you left it behind for a new one?
