Welcome to Gaia! ::

Right. Put them into a box. Dei resisted the urge to roll his eyes - not that she'd see but Thypion would - and dumped his collection into a box. When it was his turn again, he began the climb, having a much harder time this round. Too many crushed bugs. He managed to collect quite a few, but the slippery wall caused him to lose his grip and crush a few. Gross. Why was he doing this again...?

Once he was down he returned to the bug box to dump his surviving bugs into it. 11 left. That wasn't too bad.

1 - You make it half way up the wall, you gain 18 bugs but you crush 7 and slip because of their juices. +11 points

Gnash was so happy to have been given some bugs, and she wanted to try harder. She made it all the way up the wall before remembering she needed bugs, and on the way back down she found a good clump of bugs and grabbed them quickly.
+20 (16+4)

4 - You crushed every single bug you laid your fingers on and didn't get very high up on the wall because of it. 4 points.


Buffel meandered over to Akkira's booth, reckoning it'd be a good idea to say hi while she was on the clock! Looking at his surroundings, he immediately gravitated to the rock wall. Catching bugs sounded easy!
Clambering up with relative ease, Buffel immediately noticed his lack of grace in catching the little varmints. Too light, and they scurried away, too heavy and he'd just crush 'em dead! As his frustration grew, so did the number of bugs he'd finished rather than freed. Eventually, the dead bug goop gave his hands less traction and he found his grip failing him! One wrong grab and down he tumbled, no (living) bugs in hand.

2 - you can't even get up the wall, there are just too many bugs and bug guts that you just can't get a grip on the wall. 0 points


Zeylla really did try to climb the wall, but every rock she grabbed was either teeming with too many bugs or covered in smashed ones. It was just too slippery, and after about four attempts to grip any part of the wall, Zeylla gave up with a frustrated 'UGH'. She thought about kicking the wall but didn't, and instead stepped back and crossed her arms.

As she stood there, glaring at the wall for a moment, she glimpsed the blueblood she had adventured with and seen yesterday climbing down the wall. Chiara, if her memory was correct(which it always was). She called out, "Hey!" with a small wave, before glancing over at Akkira and the other booth vendor, who both seemed to be chuckling at her failed attempt(or at least she assumed they were laughing at her).

"Hhahah, yes very funny," she grumbled.

"There's no way in hell a purpleblood would live in a swamp," was all Guo had to say after Cerpin swooced off. He was leaning on his elbows, kind of bored by the annoyingly amiable banter.

"Clubs are fun. Though loud and vibrations n' stuff. It's cool but still kinda a lot. You'd probably dig it if you've never been. Should take me with, though. I can give you some dance pointers. And Spandex Boy seems kinda flighty."

And touchy. Next time Cerpin did that, Guo would bite his hand.

The next night, Guo was flicking paper footballs at passers-by for a bit until he saw Tsarzi come along. He didn't actually, like, care or anything, but he still watched her go for it agan.

And she...didn't completely suck at it this time. As he watched, a little more intently now, he hoped she wouldn't make it to the top. Just because. Tsarzi made more progress, but hit a road bump, and soon fell. But even as she did that, it was a survivalist's kind of roll. Girl had game.

Guo gave her a mocking round of applause.

Tsarzi Ameroc

Tsarzi side eyed the blueblood vendor. He was clapping, but he was the same one that had yelled unhelpfully the other day, either because he's not particularly smart or in an attempt to aggravate her. Clapping was normally a way trolls could express admiration or congratulations. The fact he was clapping now would indicate congratulations on doing better, but the tempo seemed off. Strange one, that boy.

At the end of the day, it was really no concern of her though.

What did concern he was getting these bugs out of her pocket. Striding up Tsarzi paused in front of the other blueblood and emptied her pockets. The bugs were mostly alive, if not maimed by that landing and general confinement. What are a few more dead bugs in the grand scheme of things anyway?

"These belong to you, I believe," Tsarzi stated blandly.
