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.]

He nods.]
Couple weeks. Hmm.
[He doesn't say more, but seems pensive. In his world, guilds are were people learn a trade rather than adventurer groups, so now his brain is stuck on trying to figure out what common ability everyone he's met so far could possibly have.]
no subject
but it's ok, the millenial has got this down pat. ]
Yeah, stuff like this happens every month. You'll get used to it. [ ... ] Have you tried the boba?
no subject
Boba guild...
[After that non-sequitur, he answers Itaru's question with a nod.]
In Toran, yes. Interesting beverage.
no subject
[ that's just job now, apparently. ]
A boba guild doesn't sound half-bad, lol. You should join me and Fai in the next town with their specialty next time
[ and yes, he says lol out loud. better deal with it now. ]
no subject
Thankfully, this isn't the only thing he's wondering about.]
Specialty?
[No one told him there were different types... The kind old man who'd bought one for him didn't mention that.
Sorry Itaru you get to be Boba Guide anyway.]
no subject
[ oh, and speaking of which, he's going to whip out his boba stamp card. ]
There's also a stamp rally campaign going on too - get your card stamped in every town and you win a prize! I'unno what it is, though.
no subject
[His sidequest senses are tingling...]
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try the mou-mou one. [Joss assumes it's called that because the balls are super soft or something.]
no subject
The boba shop is closed right now, though. I wonder if they do deliveries once we make out way to the next town...
[ just doordash it ]
Anyway, where are my manners? You can call me Itaru.
no subject
He bows a little, one hand over his chest.]
Joscelaint. 'Tis a pleasure, Master Itaru.
no subject
[ ehhhh. is he a "one hell of a butler" archetype? not that itaru dislikes it, but
Wow.
good thing he recovers fast with a short laugh. ]
Haha, no need to be so formal around me. But feel free to call me "sir", if you really can't help it.
no subject
Joss awkwardly shuffles his weight from one foot to the other.]
Um. Very well.
