Three; Action

[micronation]

[Well, Sealand showed up where Sweden and Finland live one day and discovered that Sweden was acting really weird. Like using all the vowels and dressing like he lived there and stuff. He came back every little while to see if he'd go back to normal, but when nothing happened he realized that someone needed to take care of his forge until he did come back (because obviously he would come back).

And then he discovered the swords. They didn't all look finished, but there were a lot of them, and they must have been for that person who could use their hair like hands. Which was still really cool.

So he's got the garage door open, and he's trying to wield six swords per hand at once like a terrible whirling dervish of pointy metal up and down the driveway.]

Take that! Hwaaah!

[Walking by.....oh.]

You're going to get hurt you know.

[micronation]

[Spinning, spinning in the driveway.]

I'm practicing! And if I practice with a lot at once I'll get bett--wah!

[Sealand embeds three of those swords in a tree.]

[is-childofwoe.livejournal.com]

Here.

[Walks over and pulls one of the swords out of the tree]

You hold it like this.

[Demonstrating the grip.]

[micronation]

[Sealand has to drop all but one of the swords to mimic her. His grip's a bit loose.]

Like this?

[is-childofwoe.livejournal.com]

Hold it firmer.

[micronation]

[Does so!] Like this?

[CONSIDERING ABSCONDING.]

. . . Do you think, maybe, you should try just, one, at once, possibly, if you wanted to?

[micronation]

[Sealand pauses in his whirling around.]

Well I don't have hair that can hold stuff.

[That disconnected sentence makes perfect sense, okay.]

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay.





. . . Uh, I don't want to be boring, or anything, but, what does hair have to do with flailing about sharp objects.

[micronation]

Well I can't hold them in my hair so I have to use my hands and I'm still getting used to it.

[bullsit.livejournal.com]

Well, uh, that makes sense, I think.

I guess, this is why, I prefer my lance, and not, really sharp things.

[micronation]

I thought they were supposed to be sharp so you could jab people.

I'm pretty sure there're board games back at the house if you, y'know, want to play with something that won't turn you into sushi.

...oh man I totally missed Sealand getting a not!dad I'M SORRYYYY

[micronation]

[It's more efficient to be a danger to himself and others at once. He stops, though, mostly because he's dizzy.]

You can't use swords with board games.

[Nina's walking home from work and she sees a little kid playing with swords. Naturally, the best possible response is to panic and run over there as fast as possible.]

Put that down! You're going to hurt yourself!

[micronation]

[Sealand has to make a quick adjustment to avoid running into her with all his pointy objects, and he lands in a heap amongst various swords, somehow miraculously uninjured.]

Hey, that was dangerous!

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

[Oh no--

Immediately she reaches out a hand to pull him out of the heap, heart pounding. Worse than the fact that she's being lectured by a little kid is the fact that he's right. What is this place doing to her?]

...Sorry. I guess I just panicked. Is anyone watching you?!

[micronation]

[Sealand brushes himself off and starts gathering up swords.]

Well there was but he's acting really weird. I dunno why.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Weird how? [Watching him gather the swords with a really anxious expression.] Are you sure you be playing with those? Maybe you should let a grownup pick them up for you.

[micronation]

Sealand is almost a grownup. And he's acting like he lives here or something, it's creepy.

[krakowiak.livejournal.com]

Like, oh. my. gosh. stop that!

[micronation]

[Whirling around down the driveway this is perfectly safe.]

But I'd drop them!

[krakowiak.livejournal.com]

You're gonna poke someone's eye out!

[micronation]

Not if they get out of the way!

[Stumbling a little; he has no idea how to hold one sword let along multiple swords while spinning.

Wait is that something anyone would want to know how to do?]

[krakowiak.livejournal.com]

Or if you run into someone! Like, hey! Are you listening to me?

( ( Oh. Man. What do what do. How does he save this kid from chopping off a limb. ) )

Hey like, do you wanna play a game or something?

( ( Kids like games, right? ) )
