[ maybe we shouldn't resort to violence?? but also no lie, he does feel safer with her having a weapon just in case. he's busy trying to remember if moles have sharp teeth or not. ]

They look real... and they're not getting closer so maybe they're fine?

[kirubeam]

Maybe... Moles aren't, like, ambush predators, are they? They normally just eat worms and stuff...

[unapollogetic]

I'm pretty sure they're also mostly blind. So if we don't make any sudden moves, maybe they won't even notice. [ this is not true. the moles can see, and they have been noticed, judging by the way they seem to hone in on the two of them and wave merrily. happy lil squeaks... ]

[kirubeam]

[ startles ]

Did they just wave?

Do moles wave?

[unapollogetic]

... no. But moles usually aren't several feet tall either, so I don't even know why I'm surprised anymore. Why do they look so friendly and still feel so threatening... ?

[ that's the paranoia, apollo. ]

[kirubeam]

No kidding...

[ kiruko is also full of paranoia. ]

At this size, they're almost like... small bears.

[unapollogetic]

You can still probably fight small bears. [ probably? ] What if we show them we're non-threatening... ? Don't give them a reason to stop being friendly and attack first.

[kirubeam]

Y, yeah... How about you take the lead, then? I'll be right behind you.

[unapollogetic]

[ Why am I taking the lead when she's the one with the gun!?

but fine, fine... there's a firm nod and he begins to creep forward toward the moles. they chitter louder, seemingly excited for their appearance. ]

At least they sound welcoming? [ this is muttered under his breath, but also... help. ]

[kirubeam]

That's a good sign.

[ at least kiruko isn't a big enough jerk to leave him, and as promised, isn't far behind. ]

[unapollogetic]

[ doing their bodyguard routine... thank you, kiruko. edging closer to the moles... ]

What if they're just people in costumes? [ the blue badger exists. it's possible. ]

[kirubeam]

I haven't seen any people working here... If anything, it'd probably be robots in costume, right?

[unapollogetic]

Maybe if it's multiple robots stacked on each other.

[ as they approach though, the moles seem eager and offer both of them two potion bottles. ]

Uh. [ a glance back at kiruko. zero trust, but what if... ]

[kirubeam]

What is it? Drugs? This place looks kinda new-agey...

[ that's not quite right but ok ]

[unapollogetic]

I don't know if I'd say that... I've seen new-agey. [ thanks los angeles. but he takes the bottle and shakes it a little. ]

Might be just a drink? It doesn't look like it's dangerous. [ but that does not mean it isn't and they know it. ]
