(Lol now I just feel bad; the Mamba's so inconsiderate)

"It better now," the Mamba answers like he just didn't pull off a really unsuitable move for the moment. He rubs his head a bit.

SpecterTheGreat · April 13, 2021 02:29:02

"Okay, that's good!" The Cheetah moved so she was crouching now. "I almost thought your neck was going to break. And your head too. Uh, let's go!"

GalaxianExplosion · May 7, 2021 14:34:37

The Mamba drops back into his lying-down position (if he wasn't already like that) and rolls on the ground, apparently in an attempt to follow her.

SpecterTheGreat · May 7, 2021 17:05:22

The Cheetah stood up. "Can't you run? Or move faster?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 7, 2021 17:09:53

"A.A. said snakes are supposed to slither, and they told me to be more like a snake," the Mamba says.
No, that's taking what they said way out of context.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2021 15:39:20

"But snakes slither faster," Cheetah pointed out, doing a snake-y motion with one of her arms.

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2021 15:44:06

"The A.A. said slower is better," the Mamba defends himself.
The narrator throws up their arms. Once again, that's so out of context.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2021 15:51:43

"So I should leave you behind while I run ahead~?🎵"
That's not a threat, it's a genuine and overly cheerful question.

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2021 15:55:14

"You should slow down too," the Mamba advises. But unlike before, he's actually with logical context, because he adds: "The A.A. said you should slow down a bit, or you're gonna overexert your legs."

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2021 16:19:33

"But that can't happen," she said, tapping the side of her left thigh. "And if I don't run, I can't win, so I'll run fast and I'll win."

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2021 18:45:00

"But life's the contest, and this isn't life," he points out.
What??

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2021 11:58:51

"So we're dead? We're not dead."

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2021 12:01:33

"We're dying," the Mamba corrects.
Bruh.

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2021 12:49:54

"But we're not dead! Yet!" The Cheetah added brightly, emphasizing her word with a tiny hop.

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2021 14:31:08

"But there are people," the Mamba goes, adding: "People who wanna kill us."
Don't worry. This is normal too. Though it's not a good type of normal.

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2021 14:51:29

"See? That's why you have to be fast!"

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2021 15:12:29

"You can't always run from your problems, though!" Interesting way of putting it. Anyways, there's a glint in his eyes. It'd be scary for normal people, but the narrator doesn't see any nearby, so it's fine.
By the way, the building is no longer burning, and people are evacuating.

SpecterTheGreat · May 12, 2021 23:46:24

((Tbh I keep forgetting the original idea for this thread lol))

The Cheetah doesn't care about the people leaving the building, and she's not focused on the disaster anymore.
But good for the people that are alive.

"That's the kind of problem you're supposed to blow up. Or stab. Or kill." The Cheetah took a second to adjust her hairclip. "But otherwise you just run, you just be fast! Not like a slow snake. You should be a fast snake! Like when we race."

GalaxianExplosion · May 18, 2021 11:35:09

"But that's as a 'person'!" he protests. "That's not like a snake. Snakes can't run as fast."
Snakes run??

SpecterTheGreat · May 18, 2021 18:24:51

"But when are you a person and when are you a snake? Because you're a veeeeery slow snake!"

GalaxianExplosion · May 18, 2021 18:50:19

"I'm both! I'm the Mamba!" he says like it's obvious, which it kinda is, but like usual, something doesn't click. "But I look too much like a person. I keep asking A.A. to cut off my legs for me so I'm more like a snake, but they don't do it. And they said I can't ask you to do that either. Or anyone else." By this point, he's whining.

SpecterTheGreat · May 18, 2021 22:04:16

"Good, cause I can't do that," went the immediate reply. "I'm not good at cutting stuff like that! It's too complicated! And more if I don't want you to die! And also you would be a shorter snake without your legs. Snakes are long."
Another idea--something more sensible for once--came to the Cheetah's mind. "But what if you put both your legs into one side of your pants? That'd make you look and move like a snake, no?"

I think they forgot what they meant to do. Again.

GalaxianExplosion · May 18, 2021 23:29:38

It's both funny and not funny how quickly the Mamba can snap from his whiney tone to a somewhat thoughtful one. "But what if I want to stand?" he goes in the exact tone of a second grader asking a what-if question. "Snakes can stand but then I wouldn't be able to. I'd just be kneeing." He means kneeling.

What's new? That's been going on for ten pages.

SpecterTheGreat · May 19, 2021 01:07:02

The Cheetah quickly raised her hand like she was about to ask a question in a classroom. "But you can jump! You can train yourself to move like a snake!"

GalaxianExplosion · May 19, 2021 02:56:25

"Snakes jump?" he asks credulously.

SpecterTheGreat · May 19, 2021 16:23:27

"Yes, kinda!"
By the way, Cheetah hasn't seen a real snake in her life before.

GalaxianExplosion · May 19, 2021 17:41:28

Credible source 500%. Next time he has to write an essay on snakes, she can be on his Works Cited page. Actually, maybe they could write the essay together. And get an F together, of course.
"They do?" He rolls himself over again like some freaky robot dog. "Hmm, I think they can't. They don't have legs, remember?"

SpecterTheGreat · May 19, 2021 18:45:04

"Yeah, but their body should act like a single leg. Does that mean snakes can also kneel?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 20, 2021 00:39:22

"They don't have knees," he reminds.

SpecterTheGreat · May 20, 2021 18:43:08

"Oh...but you could say that snakes are a single long leg with a head!"
