national kick a tall person day
Who: you and Hythlodaeus! Or you and any other person taller than you. Or shorter than you.
Where: errywhere around Mango City
When: October 25
What: national kick a tall person day! Get 'em in the shins!
[As you walk around the city, be it for pleasure or on some errand, there is a very good chance that you will suddenly be swarmed by tiny kids who arrive to happily kick you in the shins. Fortunately, they are still very small, so the kicks are about as effective as being slapped with a soft toy. In fact, some of them choose to press their Pokemon's paws against your ankles instead. Upon questioning, the kids happily explain: it's kick day! The day you can kick if you're small! A day of revenge, cries one of the kids!
An older child, tagging behind the group - clearly the designated babysitter, and bored of the antics, - explains that it's the National Kick A Tall Person Day. That's it, really. You kick anyone taller than you in the shins, - here she half-heartedly taps your legs with her foot, - and you can try to dodge kicks from shorter people. The toddlers love it.
There you have it. You are now free to participate in tormenting anyone taller than you! It seems like the power of the kick is fully dependent on your desire. Do you take this chance at revenge? Do you ignore it to go about your business and avoid further attacks for the day? Do you have an (ir)rational fear of getting kicked and hole up in your room for the day?
Should you try to return the kick favour, however, the kids stop you, frowning, and explain that no, you're not allowed to kick back, you're only allowed to throw the shorter people! Almost immediately, you are surrounded by children demanding you throw them up and down. Enjoy!
For those looking to extract revenge, be it for your height-related complex or for his personal transgressions, Hythlo is wandering around the city on his day off. Go get him.]

... Mayhaps I could sleep in your cloak?
1/2
no subject
Why do you wanna do that?
[ He doesn't sound uncomfortable, but he sure sounds intensely confused.
??????????????? ]
no subject
[He's not wrong, is he?]
no subject
[ Hien actually seems kind of worried from the body language he's expressing. He hopes Hythlo remembers how his Spheal was, with the OAO face. ]
no subject
Have you ever looked inside it?
no subject
[ So, yeah. That "wanting to disappear from the world and pretend he doesn't exist" bit? He can do it literally. ]
no subject
[That does sound a little sad, though, but Hythlo would rather keep up the lighthearted tone.]
no subject
[ His voice trails off, which makes it sound more like a question instead. ]
It's actually a big void of nothingness, so if you can handle that, feel free. People tend to go insane if they're stuck inside it for too long though.
no subject
...Hmmm.
[No, sensory deprivation isn't really his thing. He looks up at Hien again, smiling a little apologetically.]
Mayhaps not for now.
no subject
Anyway, Hien shakes his head. ]
No worries. I'm used to it so I can sleep in there if I want, but I get that it's not for most people. Let's stick to getting you a portable bed.
hien May Be Fucked Up
[Some part of him is pretty certain that there must be some kind of payback for stuffing like a bajillion things in the cloak.]
maybe it's a good thing that hien is hard to make outright mad
[ Nothing is perfect and that's because-- ]
I can only put things in that can fit. The bed probably won't fit.
looks at joss....................
Never have I thought that my height should ever become a problem for me. I was not even the tallest one among my friends!
if you wanna test that... lemme know /eyebrow waggle
[ There, there. ]
C'mon. Let's get you to a more comfortable place where you can rest instead of it being in the middle of the street.
i want angy hien :eyes:
Indeed. And I shall need a shower... and, er, to dispose of the jacket.
[He's not wearing that again.]
