no subject
( he's decided, which means he's changing the idea of rokkun's rough draft because he can. don't change his mind. )
Give it spores, it's Halloween... they want to play, too.
no subject
[ What do spores have to do with Halloween? Is he really going to ask Rokkun to go outside into the forest on Halloween and rub mushrooms on this piece of wood or however you spore things ]
no subject
( he's just chatting away about this, and if rokkun really wanted, he could just tell komaeda to shut up tbh, because he's not even carving anymore. he just wants to see rokkun do it. )
And...
no subject
[ He's not going to carve Mrs. and Mr. Spore, if only because he's trying to wrap his mind around why the mature mushroom would be a pet and not a grandparent or however the analogy works ]
no subject
( he's looking at rokkun to finish the 'and' this is their shared story. )
You're the Lumberjack, Rokkun, the protagonist of our story, you should fill in the blanks.
( because why wouldn't he when he has the chance to create whatever appeals to him? he's the one who has to draw it, and the fact that he vetoed mrs. and mr. spore in such a manner is just the start. )
no subject
[ It'll be hard to change things once he's started carving, but luckily he's still on the sketching phase of things. Animals... are not his strong point, and humans include animals.
... ]
The lumberjack is inside the cabin, and the wolf is hidden inside the trees.
no subject
( he picks up his chisel so that he can go back to his spear, the sharp end scraping as he thinks on the start, as he thinks of what to say. one of those children stories so that they can sleep at night? something for adults? who knows. )
The wolf left from the pack that it originated from, most likely used to being alone, or did its family die... you can never tell with animals like them.
( his eyes remain on the spear, and he uses his organic hand to rub along the length of it, brushing his finger over the point. ) Hm... but if it's hidden, maybe it wanted to stalk Lumberjack Rokuro, he does have a lot of meat on his bones.
( playful teasing. )
no subject
He wasn't even thinking of narration, he was thinking about the easiest way to carve this which is by hiding people behind walls and animals behind trees ]
It'll stalk rabbits and deer, first. Prey animal that won't fight back like a person would, so wolf attacks on humans rarely happen.
no subject
You think so?
( as if komaeda won't push rokkun off the chair that he's sitting on, like that isn't a rabid thought in his mind right now as he thinks of their position as person and wolf. but, he drops the chisel on the table so that he doesn't have any urges, and instead rests his paws into the seat of his lap. )
Hm... Why does Lumberjack Rokkun stay to himself? He could go out, and cut tree after tree.
( he's going to reach out to tap the other's rough draft just because he can. )
no subject
That's wasteful. If the trees are tall and wide enough, you'd be able to get a cord of wood out of one, and you'll only need two or three to get through the winter.
no subject
But that depends on the type of tree, doesn't it? What if you live in a forest with a variety of certain trees, then you have to be mindful of which you cut down...
( his thumb brushes against the tip of the pencil, playing with it. )
How long until winter in this scenario?
no subject
[ Part of the beauty of living in the forest is having forest, or something ]
It's summer in this scenario, because it's easier to carve blades of grass than it is snow.
no subject
( so that means this scenario doesn't make sense. he'll lean forward, looking up at rokkun curious. )
Since that animal doesn't exist, the lumberjack can leave his cabin to carve his blades of grass.
no subject
[ what's going on with this scenario ]
no subject
( ?
are you saying this is not sci-fi? )
no subject
He hands the plank of wood to Komaeda. ]
Fine. The lumberjack is carving grass. You draw the wolf's part.
no subject
( he knows of woodcarving, but he doesn't know how to actually do it in a form of art that rokkun does. he reaches for the chisel, hits it against the plank, and makes a circle to represent his "wolf". it's next to what's meant to be a tree, but it's not a happy story for him. )
It's blind, so it's unable to find food, and came our of hiding.
no subject
A blind wolf can still hear and smell. What's it thinking about the lumberjack?
no subject
( because he knows rokkun can fix it, it may have been carved out, but he'll put the chisel down as he thinks on the question. taking the pencil, now, he begins to draw little thinking bubbles above its circle body. )
It can hear him, smell him, so he might be the only thing on its mind. ( why the lumberjack? ) Constantly thinking of someone, and not being able to see them... how much pain does that bring?
no subject
[ He's going to erase those thought bubbles when it's his turn with the wood. We're going with realism here, Komaeda. ]
no subject
( he's not going to give the wood back, rather, it's staying in his hands because he wants to try and get a splinter. he's a little insane, but that's fine, who is going to stop him? no one. )
no subject
[ Is he just going to rub his finger against the rough edge of the wood or something, stop that ]
no subject
( let him think about it, and yes, he's going to rub there because he wants a splinter. stop looking at him. )
I'm not hungry often, so I'm guessing they're the same. They don't expect to be fed.
