 [Where is that ringing bell coming from? What about that whistle? Is it the kitchen? No. The garden?

Still no, but you're getting warmer.

Han is waiting for everyone on the field, whistle in his mouth, and bell on the ground (because his hand got tired of ringing the damn thing).]

Finally! Alright, 1, 2, 3.... Do we have everyone here?

[close enough. He then says easily,]

We've got a fun activity today. We're doing trust falls.

Falls. As in multiple.

I expect you guys to partner off-- and don't just stick to someone you know!

[donotlick]

Yeah, alright. Bring it here.

[ He holds out his hands. ]

Least you don't have to worry about me not being able to catch you.

[tannic]

I trust the law less than I trust our esteemed administrator. Pass.

[Actually, he doesn't trust anybody but Cops Especially.]

[donotlick]

Kay. You have a nice day then, buddy.

[ Good to know where he stands. ]

[machrophage]

... I have a question, and you seem the sort to have an answer.

What is an appropriate human gesture to convey my displeasure with the organizer?

[donotlick]

[ Hank snorts. ]

You looking in words, or just trying to get your point across real easy?

[machrophage]

The latter. Ideally, something where I can make eye contact.

[donotlick]

Hah! That's easy. Give 'em one of these.

[ He shows off his middle finger. Obviously. ]

Or, y'know, you could do two of 'em for good measure.

[machrophage]

Excellent.

[This is the face of a (beast)man with a plan.]

Care to lend me your assistance, or are you too old for someone of my weight.

[donotlick]

[ Hank laughs. Fuck off!!! Now it's a challenge. ]

Course I can catch you, who the hell do you think I am?

[ He's stronger than he looks. ]

1/3

[machrophage]

Excellent. Prepare yourself.

[He's going to turn around now and - ]

[machrophage]

HEY PROFESSOR!

[machrophage]

[Once he's securely got Han's attention, it's time to trust fall! With a double finger salute.

Isn't multiculturalism amazing?]

[donotlick]

[ Incredible. Hank does in fact catch Viral... I mean, the dude's pretty built but so is Hank. He only stumbles for half a step. ]

Nice one.

[machrophage]

No point in doing any less than my best.

[He'll regain his balance and quickly get off Hank's hands. Really, this is just a giant cat.]

[donotlick]

[ Too bad Hank prefers dogs... ]

Stick it to the man, am I right?

[machrophage]

Something like that.

[Ready to do your part, Hank?]

[donotlick]

Alright, what. Now you catch me?

[ With those big ol' mole claws...? ]

[machrophage]

May as well. Then we can be done with this whole stupid exercise.

[Exactly two trust falls.]

[donotlick]

Alright. Drop me and I'm gonna be real fucking disappointed, got it?

[ oooh, not the disappointment... ]

[machrophage]

It would be one chance in a million.

[Ready when you are, Hank.]

[donotlick]

Good.

[ He'll.... trust Viral, I guess. I GUESS.... yeah, okay, he seems tough so there's that. He falls back.

Catch him or die. ]

[machrophage]

[Easy catch! Hank might feel a bit of claw through his jacket, but otherwise it's pretty clear that Viral has his weight quite easily, without even a grunt of effort.]

[donotlick]

[ Not... the worst thing in the world. ]

Damn, you're a tough guy, ain't ya?

[machrophage]

I'm designed to be stronger than a human, after all.

[Just don't think about how close those teeth are, Hank.]

[donotlick]

[ mmmm yeah let's pick ourselves up now, Hank. ]

Guess you and androids really do have that shit in common.
