Autumnal Avocations

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Who: Open to all!
What: Miscellaneous activities
When: Friday, 10/21
Where: Farmer Carol's farm.
How: ...Walking, running, skipping, or log-rolling are all acceptable.
Why: Because I want to.

As Palom had promised, the farm indeed boasted more wholesome family fun activities than you could shake an apple at.  While the main purpose of the day trip, ostensibly, was to finish up harvesting the fruit, the opportunity to explore the farm and its rural surroundings was enticing as well.  By mid-afternoon, Farmer Carol was fully satisfied with the hard work of the volunteers and announced that they were free to do as they pleased.

I-it's not that big of a deal! All we need to do is find a watchtower and see where the paths go!

[Never mind the fact that the corn maze isn't small enough to get them to an exit that way...]

[gandere]

Not that big of a deal? Not that big of a deal!? If I'm out here and don't get a good night's rest, the deal is going to get a lot bigger. Alright?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

We won't be stuck here overnight! If the sun starts to set, we could just cut through the cornfield.

[gandere]

Why can't we just cut through it now?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Because it isn't urgent yet, that's why.

[gandere]

Ugh, then what's the point of this again? Are we really going to risk losing AND getting lost?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

The point? There is no point, it's just a game. It's here for fun and for the challenge.

[gandere]

The challenge... Hm, you're right. I'm going to beat you out of this place first!

[ Guess who's breaking out into a run now? ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Wha -- hey, wait! That's not what I meant!

[Guess who's giving chase?]

[gandere]

What's wrong? Can't keep up?

[ Weaving around a corner now in an attempt to lose him. Poor Shirou. ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's not it -- HEY! Are you TRYING to lose me?!

[He's catching up!]

[gandere]

Yup!

[ Laughing as she dives into the stalks of corn to try to hide... ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Dammit!

[LEAPING GRAB TIME.]

[gandere]

[ It's super effective! Shirou has caught 1x Rin Tohsaka! ]

H-Hey! [ Red-faced, but laughing? ] What do you think you're doing?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Trying to keep us from getting separated, that's what!

[Not quite yet realizing the fact that he's got his arms wrapped around her.]

[gandere]

I wouldn't have let you out of my sight in the first place, Shirou!

[ There's a part of her mind that insists she should struggle away from him, but it was easily shoved back further away from reality. ]

Do you think I'd let you get lost on your own?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

With you, it's not always easy to tell! And there was only one way to make sure.

[gandere]

I think you were just looking for a reason to touch me.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Whoa wait WHAT?

[At that, he lets go.]

That -- that wasn't it!

[gandere]

It wasn't? Then I wonder why you grabbed at me that way instead of just grabbing for my hand or something.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

It... It...

[Come on, Shirou, think!]

...I just wanted to make sure you couldn't break my grip!

[gandere]

Are you really that physically weak?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

No! O-of course not! But do you really expect me to think that hard about something when I'm chasing a person?!

[gandere]

Yes. Running is no excuse for not thinking, Shirou.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Maybe that would be true if I was just getting some exercise, but I was a little focused on something else!
