GGaD » [[@GalaxE ~ just a past thread]] An unsupervised child is wandering...

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 16:49:08

Not like Martin cares about that. He peered at their actions with curiosity.

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2020 18:41:28

Kiaane tosses one at Martin as they pick another one up.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 20:04:12

This time he did react, moving up his hand to grab the pebble before it hit him.

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2020 20:24:53

He gets hit anyway, and his hand goes without anything touching it. Huh.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 21:22:07

Martin raised his head abruptly to look at Kiaane. "What was that!?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2020 21:32:03

"A small sedimentary rock," came the response.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 21:34:25

"I know it's a rock! But how did you get it to do that!?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2020 22:56:57

"Magic."
Well, here we go again.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 22:59:26

"Yes, but what kind of magic? How does it work?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 10, 2020 23:02:39

"Look into it." The "yourself" part goes unsaid.

SpecterTheGreat · May 10, 2020 23:03:36

Martin grabs the pebble and inspects it closely.

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2020 01:48:44

Nothing special about it, it seems.

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2020 01:52:09

"I can't see anything extraordinary," Martin said with a light hint of protest in his voice.

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2020 17:57:41

They don't really react. Actually, they're already wandering off to something they'd been doing before, the pebbles still in their hands.

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2020 18:18:14

"What are you going to do now?" Martin demanded.

GalaxianExplosion · May 11, 2020 18:42:59

They just toss a pebble back. Like before, it smacks Martin upside the head.

SpecterTheGreat · May 11, 2020 18:52:55

He frowned almost imperceptibly, lifting a hand slightly to throw another nearby pebble at Kiaane's head again. "Hey! What was that for?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 13, 2020 14:21:31

They catch it and then throw it back without a verbal response.

SpecterTheGreat · May 13, 2020 14:32:27

Martin attempted to deflect the pebble in the air without touching it. He pouted.

GalaxianExplosion · May 14, 2020 22:33:19

It seems he's actually early by a bit, though he seems to have touched it slightly.

SpecterTheGreat · May 14, 2020 22:58:14

"Your pebbles are too powerful," he complained.

GalaxianExplosion · May 15, 2020 02:08:01

They don't react to the complaint. They don't even raise an eyebrow. But it's clear they're not ignoring him, since they send another pebble skidding across the ground to him.

SpecterTheGreat · May 15, 2020 09:14:07

Martin sluggishly stretched out a hand to stop it.

GalaxianExplosion · May 15, 2020 22:59:17

To the ground?

SpecterTheGreat · May 15, 2020 23:45:07

Yes, or whatever direction would be most convenient. But Martin didn't have that purpose in mind. So it would be random.

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2020 00:25:48

Funnily enough, he does.
Kiaane scrutinizes the action and then concludes after a second or two that it was coincidence that his action was able to stop the "projectile".

SpecterTheGreat · May 21, 2020 00:38:11

Martin just half-shrugged.

GalaxianExplosion · May 21, 2020 15:59:20

Hard to do that while you're like half on the ground. Admiration.
Kiaane doesn't really think that in those terms, of course, and they don't particularly feel admiration, but they do wonder how he does that on the ground, or something of those terms.

SpecterTheGreat · May 22, 2020 17:44:13

((this thread wouldn't load yesterday, sorry for late response))

"Why are you still throwing little pebbles?"

GalaxianExplosion · May 22, 2020 18:30:56

Well, Kiaane guesses that it means he's ready for larger rocks, one of which they summon and aim in Martin's direction with a blank expression.
