"Come there?" the Mamba asks, butchering grammar.
The A.A. just throws his costume so that it lands squarely onto his head. He doesn't mind.
"Boo!" he starts yelling, beginning to run all over the room.

Two minutes later or so, the Cheetah skipped back into the room, showing a very nice mixture of yellow and black clothing.
Most eye-catching parts of her clothes: A striped suit (or was it shirt and leggings?) in black and yellow, a sparkly skirt (too short for her legs), and a bright satin cape on her back.
The Cheetah tripped with an untied ribbon on the back of her skirt and grinned from the floor.
"I'm done! A- Almost done!"
Did she mix a bee costume with a... a superhero costume thing?

Hopefully she's on the opposite end of wherever the Mamba--now more of a boy with what appears to be a huge hairy spider costume as his head--is currently running around.
Congratulations, the A.A. goes. They've switched a position in the room for no apparent reason.
Offline
"Yay!"
She stood up, holding the tips of her ribbon with one hand and pressing a headband onto her messy hair with the other.
The Cheetah stopped for a moment to stare at the Mamba.
Offline
The flinging motions the Masked One's making while running is making the hairy spider leg appendages on the costume also fling around unrealistically.
Offline
"You look like a broken spider," the Cheetah remarked loudly. She twisted around to tie her ribbon instead of donig it like a normal person.

"BOO!" comes the response, though he's still on the opposite side of the room. Thankfully.
Offline
"Not scary!" She yelled.
"Do I need a mask? Maybe my mask?"
Offline
The A.A. actually pauses. ...You are a cheetah?
While there's nothing to indicate it, maybe they're perplexed by that notion. She is usually a cheetah, after all.
Offline
"Of course I'm a cheetah! I've always been a cheetah! I am the Cheetah!"
Offline
The A.A. doesn't even respond to that.
"I'm a spider and you can't eat meeeee!" the Mamba hollers.
Offline
"I don't eat spiders~!" She yelled back, randomly doing a little spin.
Offline
"Exactly!" he shouts.
Offline
The Cheetah didn't reply, as she was checking that her ribbon was well-tied and in place. It's surprisingly neat.
"Wait," she muttered, straightening herself. "I forgot my knife thingies in the other room."
Either she forgot that the A.A. set a no-murder rule or she simply isn't thinking of her daggers as a murder weapon.
Offline
Well, we both know how nice the A.A. is in that they aren't going to inform her that said daggers have been confiscated.
They're just waiting for the Mamba to put on the costume properly. Sometime. They still have, like, 30 minutes to wait for him to do that.
Unfortunately, snake boy is still (just) running around. "Boo! Boo!" he hollers continuously.
Offline
Cheetah continued with her thoughts. "I think? I don't have them, but did I take them? Eh?" She checked her sides. All she was wearing was the costume(s) and the gloves she always had on. No daggers.
Offline
No daggers indeed.
Quiet, the A.A. orders the Mamba, who quiets down by, like, 2 clicks of the volume down button.
Offline
That... is a good thing.
The Cheetah was still concerned with checking herself. Sometimes she doesn't pay attention to her surroundings when she should. The noise isn't bothering her, or at least she isn't aware of it at the moment.
Offline
Now the A.A. continues with whatever they were doing, content on letting at least one of the two...kids run out as much energy as possible. It actually hasn't worked in the past, but hey, it's always worth a try. In any case, the point is that the A.A. is much more willing to carry an energy-lacking Mamba or the Cheetah back like a burlap sack filled with cows as opposed to trying to round them in like cattle in the process.
Offline
It was just then that the Cheetah finally focused her attention on the Mamba.
"Hey! Are you chasing something I can't see?" She asked while trying to chase him. "Is there a soul here? Ehh? Wait, no, I can see those. What are you chasing!? Tell me!"

"The wall! It's moving!" he hollers to her even though he's actually pretty close to her at the moment. "Vroooommm!" he shouts at the wall before nearly running into a corner of the room. He's also scattered LEGOs all over the room from his motions, too.
Offline
"But the wall should NOT move!" The Cheetah slowed down (what a surprise) a bit to avoid slipping on LEGOs.
Offline
"Tell it to stop then! I'm tryna' catch it!" the Mamba hollers.
The A.A. is once again like "This is fine."
Offline
"Okay!" The Cheetah abruptly stopped running. She pointed at the wall, and with a hand on her hip, she began, "You wall! Stop running so Mamba can catch ya! Or else!"

The wall, being a non-sentient thing that's literally not moving, doesn't respond.
The Mamba just did a jump-slide across the wall, yes.
Offline
((I'm here just,,, facepalming,,, idk how to react to this xD))
The Cheetah grinned. "I think it worked!"
Offline
"It's still running!" the Mamba complains as he scrambles up and resumes the chase. In the process, he falls down onto a miniature LEGO castle.
Offline
"It can't run forever! You'll eventually catch it! Yeah! And noooooooo not the palaceeeee--"
Offline
"The palace says it's okay! It's cheering for me to catch the wall!" the Mamba...translates????
Offline
"But now I'll have to fix it!" The Cheetah rushed over to the LEGO castle and checked it for damage.
