(Us: Let's have Galaxian and Ribbon have a day of fluff or at least some fluffy interactions
--GGaD reality--
Galaxian: Gonna go try to solve, like, your entire life's problems today even though I barely remember ya. By mind controlling some people. As nicely as I can.
Literally everything: *not going his way, he is literally being lectured by a shoe shop guy*
Ribbon: Do I need to bite a grumpy old shoe shop guy
Galaxian: (*has no idea what to do like*) nO pLEASE)

what about a distraction? Ribbon suggested. I could scream. Or drop something on someone's head.
"dont interrupt me!" Mr. Wilson exclaimed. "You kids are so rude and impolite!" He began on another rant.
(XDDDD)
Offline
No no, please don't do that. That'll get you in danger. I'll, ah, get this done soon. Hopefully. Maybe.
Galaxian currently looks like a bored child being lectured. He's pondering whether to split to just barge into the meeting before it's actually over and he has to find the people.
Offline
I'm quick, ribbon huffed. And all of these people look slow.
Offline
I know you're quick, but it's still not practical for you, explained Galaxian telepathically. I don't want you getting hurt. Even though I'm kind of failing right now, I'll start not failing! Hopefully.
Offline
Ribbon wasn't convinced. they won't hurt me.
Offline
Poor Galaxian, being lectured on one end while trying to convince a friend to not bite people. But they could, he tried reasoning. It's just an itty-bitty lecture.
Offline
fine, she said.
Good news though, Mr. Wilson finished his lecture. "Now, why did you call me over again? it better be important."
Offline
Galaxian shoots a look at da Dude, who basically called Mr. Wilson over. Since apparently Mr. Wilson's one of those people who expects kids to be silent, he didn't initially plan on saying much. He was kinda putting his bets on 1) his look not triggering Mr. Wilson again, 2) Maybe da Dude regretted letting Mr. Wilson come over enough to let him off the hook.
Presuming there weren't more Mr. Wilsons...
Well. Uh. Never mind. Too many risks.
"Well, we just wanted to say hello!" he piped cheerfully, hoping the dude would take the hint and not say otherwise. And he also had the reasoning of my-teacher-did-not-ask-for-old-people-philosophies-for-the-interview.
Offline
"That's it?" Mr. Wilson grumbled.
Dude 2 did indeed take the hint. "Y-yeah, we just wanted to be polite."
"Kids these days, wasting everyone's time!" He continued to grumble to himself as he hobbled off.
"Sorry about that," dude 2 said. "I didnt know he was like... that. I've never talked to him before, and his wife's so much nicer. But, I bet we can find someone a lot less grumpy that you can interview."
Offline
"It's okay." Galaxian said "Okay" like "Okie". "Thank you for your help so far!" Which is, like, not helpful to what he's supposed to do, but he didn't exactly go towards the place like 'Hi I'ma mind control your bosses'.
Offline
"You're welcome! Why dont you go along with those 2?" Dude 2 pointed towards 2 kids who were walking by, looking as if they totally weren't trying to figure out a way to sneak inside the guild.
Offline
"Okay! Thank you so much!" He paused. "Do you want a lollipop? For helping me so much? It's supposed to be something nice to do..." He kept an eye on the two kids.
Offline
"Oh no thanks," Dude 2 said. "I dont eat sugar."
The 2 kids were making their way to the alley opposite of the building. They both had backpacks with lots of stuff in it.
Offline
(Tbh you wrote "backpacks with lots of stuff in it" with "2 kids" and I thought Krystine and Tensei xDDD)
"Okay!" He grinned. "Bye!" Before Dude 2 can blink he scrambles off to the 2 kids. Not very subtly.
Offline
(XDDDDD)
the 2 kids jumped as he came over. They both looked guilty. "Uh hi... nice day, isn't it?" One of them said very casually as they tried to hide the grappling hook they'd just pulled out.
Offline
"I guess so." Galaxian stole a look at where they could possibly use the grappling hook. "What's that?"
Offline
"Noooothing," the 1st kid said, stepping in front of the other as they turned around to quickly try to shove the grappling hook back in their backpack. Unfortunately it was easier to take out than put back inside. "So what brings you around here? I dont think I've seen you around before."
Offline
"I'm trying to get a school project thing done," he said as diligently as a good student would.
The only lesson the deity learned about lying was to see the story through until that was completely impossible. And it's still possible!
Offline
"Oh wow, that's lucky! Of all days a project is assigned, it's the day we skip." The first child said.
Kid 2 managed to get it in and stood up like nothing happened. "I bet we can avoid all of it if we skip until after it's due and pretend we were very sick. Or that we got dragged off by giant rats. Hey, when's the project due?" Kid 2 directed the last question at Galaxian.
Offline
"Past the weekend," Galaxian said, hoping kids in the grade actually did this sort of stuff within 3 days. Presuming it was almost the weekend.
Offline
"Sweet," kid 1 said. "Dont tell the teacher, alright?"
"also, is there anything you needed?" Kid 2 added.
Offline
"A way to do the project?" he answered as if unsure what they meant.
Offline
"No, I meant like, is there anything you needed from us? You followed us into the alley for a reason, right?"
Offline
"Well, I thought you could maybe help me...with the project?"
Offline
"We're busy right now," kid 1 said, crossing their arms.
Offline
"With what?"
Offline
They glanced back at the backpack, which still had part of the grappling hook sticking out. "...stuff."
Offline
"Wow," he said with a bit of sassy sarcasm.
Offline
"So why dont you just move along," kid 2 said. "So we can do that thing we're doing in peace."
