[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!

[ Well, even if he doesn't, Terra is going to ask anyway. ]

So, do you need help with being caught?

... You look like you could actually manage it...

[Spiral King help him.]

Is this a common human thing? Because it's stupid.

I'm sure I could.

[ Just give him the go sign and he's all ready, Viral! \o/ ]

Yeah, it's definitely a human thing.

Doesn't mean I don't think it's a little weird this is being done out of the blue. But...might as well, right?

I can suffer through one hour of idiocy.

[He's turning around...]

[ Terra laughs a little. ]

Right? We're all in this [ silliness ] together.

[ And now he's definitely making sure he's in the right spot -- he also gets this feeling they're going to be talking about how dumb this was even longer after they've done it. ]

I'm ready whenever you are.

At least the humans here aren't as filthy as I always heard.

[He's going!]

Well, humans have to make sure they take baths regularly and all that so there's no problems.

[ Terra easily catches Viral with no problems.

Though, he can't remember the last time he's done anything like this. ]

Who told you that they were filthy, anyway? Friends back at home?

Hardly friends.

[One fall done!

... He plans to do exactly two and no more.]

More like coworkers.

[ That's fair. ]

...Do you have anyone you consider to be a friend back home?

[ The brunet only asks now because of the way he notices Viral is, more than anything. ]

... Not really.

[Is that weird?]

[ Kind of, but Terra is not going to judge.

It just means that Viral probably has trouble making friends. Maybe that could change while they're in this situation or he's just being too hopeful. ]

Because of your job?

It's just not something that I was ever interested in.

[That's how friendship works, right?

That said, Viral will lift his hands in an obvious 'let's get this over with' for Terra's fall in return.]

[ Totally not. ]

...It's not a bad thing to have, by the way.

[ He'll be getting into position and then turning to prepare for his descent. ]

Ready?

Allies are always useful, I know that much.

[Hands still up.]

Ready.

That's...one way to put it.

[ Then, Terra will allow himself to fall back; he doubts that Viral will have much trouble catching him, considering. ]

[Honestly the most trouble he has is that one of his thumbclaws gets snagged briefly on Terra's uniform coat. Otherwise it's just. Whump. He's got a tall kid.]

[ Easy does it...! Nah, he's fine. ]

...Not bad with the catch. Though, I don't think I needed to worry with you.

[ He remembers how that whole thing went down with the wall and not just people being dumb about it, so. ]

Not really, no.

[He'd have to be in very bad condition indeed to not manage that catch.]

[ Terra has a hard time imagining Viral in a bad condition, even if he's more willing to throw himself into danger than he is. ]

Alright. Are we done here, then?

Or do you feel like going again?

[ He's not too serious about that question, honestly...they've had enough of this silliness, he thinks. ]

Ugh. There's not really a point in doing it again with the same person, at least.

[THIS IS STUPID.]
