[You know what's horrifying? Holograms. You know what's even worse? Being Ian during them. So when you hear the horrified shrieks in the plaza, it's probably just Ian being carried by a group of lumberjacks toward a GIANT WHIRRING WOODCHIPPER. Suffice to say, Mr. Kolansky is flailing above their heads in complete terror.]

PLEASE NO, NOT THE CHIPPER, NOT THE CHIPPER!!

I'M DELICATE!!

[It's not even registering that in such situations he'd die in Luceti; thank god for the lack of fatality in this event.]

.....

[Even worse, a couple hours later he's running all across town with people dressed like this after him. Man, he hasn't had this happen in a long-ass while, but it's still far from pleasant. By the time he manages to outrun them, he's gone all through town. His clothes are entirely wrecked and his day is shot to hell, b-but at least he can try to help some people out if they need it. You can find him hiding in the bushes or hanging upside down in a tree, struggling to get his foot out of vines. Or he can slam into you at a hideous speed. Or you can find him cowering in fear behind your house.

... Or you can find him tied up over a pot of boiling water.

Look, the mob wasn't friendly, okay? Kinda obvious.]

[Voice]

D-does anyone need any instant-healing medicine? I know some people were a little 'beat up' today...

Does anyone know why these're popping up like this?

[huff.]

Ah, well. This better not interrupt Parent's Day...

[He'll be around with dirty clothes (what's new), but he'll at least be free of any holograms, should you want him to run into one of yours.]

U-um. I think I'm a little too old for it now.

[Don't let my face deceive you, I'm an old fart.]

[Shrug.]

So? If ya wanna do it, ya should do it.

... Really? You think so?

Alright! See ya' there.

[And he'll be there, no problem. He's at least good at making time.]

Yeah. [Small smile. Grow a spine, man.] Ya might as well.

Of course I have to! I said so, didn't I? What, you don't like people returning favors?

You're right! I should try my best!

[DETERMINED FISTPUMP. FUCK YEAH!]

Even if I'm not very bright, it'll be worth it!

[Rogue spares a moment of sympathy for the teachers who are working without pay who will now have to deal with Ian.

...the moment has now past.]

That's the spirit.

[She's not trolling at allllllllllllll.]

[nasnalknsklanskl backpedaling]

I didn't mean it like that...

[You know path-of-redemption-just-doing-my-job-I-am-not-worthy stuff.]

If you really wanted to, then I'd be honored to accept.

[... There are blood-borne diseases and the like to worry about, Robert hadn't considered that strongly yet. But if Ian is another species, it's strongly unlikely that they will affect him, or anybody else save another tree-person.]

Would you w-wish to see, actually? Er, at a more... convenient time, of course...? It is too dangerous to do much in the way of r-research at this moment...

-No.

She's better off at home. Like everyone else.

[The forest extends in one direction pretty far, despite the fact that the house is clearly not this large. Shifts are weird like that. Eventually, the forest opens to a clearing area on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a vast city.]

[And that's where Ion is, staring down at the city just a few feet away. When he turns around, he looks a bit surprised to see Ian there. For a moment, he almost forgot where he was.]

Oh, Ian. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Before I could find a glass, everything changed around me...

[nod, nod!

... Yeah he can't even see the trolling.]

You're a real nice gal, Rogue! I appreciate the pick-me-up!

And the saving thing, too.

[Sorry, too busy staring this place down.]

Wooow... Looks like The Capital, kinda'...

Awesome, glad you understand my feelings!

What's your name? You hurt anywhere?

... Yeah. She's better off at home. This place isn't any good for a nice kid like her.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea, actually. I'd like that a lot.

I would be g-glad to show you. Especially since it, of course, is p-pertinent to you.

... The results will be kept confidential, as... as a matter of principle. Unless you wished to d-disclose them.

[As much as Robert would happily disperse the information on his own, when it's obtained from a sapient, the sapient who the information is sourced from has the final say on who gets to learn what. Especially considering how Ian reacted to this before...]

That's right.

[...]

Things are still dangerous right now. Don't hesitate to ask for my help. [He wouldn't say it out loud, but he didn't want Ian hurt or lost.]

[She's nothing like a nice gal. Quit following her. 8|]

Don't mention it.

[Abrupt left turn! Let's see if that shakes him.]

Right, I'll let you know.

[Maybe. :|a]

Ah... Well, that all depends on what we find. I wouldn't want anything to fall into the more... villainous hands... [/DISCOMFORT AT THE THOUGHT.]

[A-and he awkwardly stands there, suddenly realizing he was following. ;u;]

Ah, u-uh, well—if you ever need any help, just ask...!

[It's a good thing you thought of that, Ian, because Robert wouldn't have.]

... Point duly acknowledged.

In that case, it is... even more p-prudent that you be involved in the research.

[Seriously, dude?

She raises a gloved hand in farewell.]

Don't fall into any wood chippers.
