[ no, that's not quite it. it's a little different than that, but he's not sure how to verbally say it while he's dr. seuss so he. shakes his head no while also shrugging like he's somehow indicating "close but not exactly." ]
[ this poor squirrel chitters again, but chitters in an echoing tone after. ]
You seem to forget logic comes to a halt, but also? This is totally your fault. [ he's still laughing because it is. weird. also he's stressed and annoyed that he's cursed, but it's fine. ]
Probably be grateful we haven't even seen any pigeons in case an all-out war broke out. Sounds like things are still tense there even in times of peace.

jonas, wondering if alex has decided something he is unaware of. ]
What are you even talking about right now? [ he would love to stop there, but the annoyance on his face says he physically cannot, so. ] Alex. Wow.
no subject
[ alex, who has not perceived touch week or red string for herself or any strangers, at least noticed it for... jonas. nailed it. ]

Feed the squirrel the hot dog.
no subject
but also. he had strongly debated it himself so honestly that's all the push he needs to break off a piece to feed it to their squirrel friend.
the squirrel takes it! and eats the piece of hot dog!!
and absolutely starts squeaking. there are no words they can understand, but the cadence does seem to be in a rhythmic tone.
which is why he sort of just starts losing his shit laughing because it's so. fucking weird. he hates this place actually. ]

Wonder what he's saying.
no subject
Uh...maybe he's asking for water in a cup? I don't know, Alex, just make it up.
[ this is such a good distraction. ]
no subject
[ ok ]
no subject
[ oh. wait. he just sags back against the tree trunk. ]
Finally.
[ 50-60 tags of rhymes was my limit. ]

They're at war with the pigeons. But things have been peaceful, so they're probably on a shaky truce right now.
no subject
Sorry, man. It's gonna be at least three hours.
no subject

no subject
