"Nuh-UH!" Deborah was trembling with anger as tears started to cascade down her cheeks. "Nuh-uh. That's...that's not at all what Issac said. You're just making stuff up. Stop making stuff up!"

Jacob knelt down and looked at the crying child. Oh how nice it must be to be that naive, and how Jacob wished he could go back to that. "You'll get how it works some day. But for now, Isaac's word is the word. And all the big kids go walk with him." He figured lying, although wrong, was all you could do for a child at times, and that's just what he was going to do. What's the point of breaking the news to a kid sooner than you had to.

Deborah nodded vigorously. Yeah Issac knew that stuff. She'll just ask him and and all will be cleared up. Yeah. Course then she'd have to ask Issac. She sniffed and wiped her eyes. "R-right. Big kids walk with Him." She looked up to David and back to Jacob. "Are...are we still gonna plays?"

Rhett's expression crinkled into one of beign affability. It wasn't a facade, however, and he looked down at Deborah. "Yes ma'am!" he crooned, though his eyes strayed to Jacob. So, the boy was a heathen as well as a homosexual. That was certainly interesting.
But he would disect him more, later. Now it was play time. "So, where d'ya wanna play? Is it gonna be like, Gatlin-wide or what? And who's going first?"

"Team awesome will be marco!" Deborah shouted wiping away the last of her tears. "And um...Isn't all Gatlin too big? Cause we haveta be able to hear when someone says marco or polo."

"Well, I guess..." Rhett kicked the ground half-heartedly, as though he was sincerely disappointed. "I just thought it would be more of a, a you know, a challenge the other way. But I guess you're right." He paused in thought. "Um, so like, how are you two not gonna get separated from each other? 'Marco' has to cover his eyes, 'ya know."

Deborah felt a little bad that David was clearly upset over not having a huge playground but there was no way she could win with a huge area and clutching to poor Jacob so he won't get lost. That apparently was a big problem for Jacob. Poor big kid.
"Imma going to hold on real tight!" Deborah explained with excitement.

"Oh." Rhett thought for a moment. Jacob would be at a sincere disadvantage with a little girl carping in his ear for the entire game of marco-polo. So much so that he was even more disappointed than before about the lack of bet. Not that he disliked his job - in fact, he would probably look after the children anyway due to his personal stake in like, making sure his own daughter didn't die - but it would make things so much more interesting.
Well, maybe he could still try.
"Good luck with that," he advised. "Jacob's bell? It can summon dragons."
Okay, so he was a liar now. But he wasn't going to marry the lie. Justification was always fun.

Deborah's eyes grew huge with horror. That made sense! That's why that's why no other people can to Gatlin. It was cause Jacob's dragon would eat them! And since theres no outlanders to be eaten that means...that means the dragon was going to eat HER!
She whimpered and backed away slightly. "I don't wanna be eatens!"

"I identify with that," David-called-Rhett agreed, thinking of his own nineteenth birthday drawing ever closer. "But everyone's gonna die one day - or um, 'just go walk with Him' depending on your theology... But you might as well get eaten by a dragon. Think of all the stories that would be told about you. 'The girl who got eaten by a dragon because she played marco-polo with a guy that had a bell around his neck.'"

"NOES! I don't wanna walk with a dragon! He's going to eat me and not be friends to walk together! It's not about Theo Oggally, whoever he is!" Deborah whimpered and backed away letting go of Jacob. Theo Oggally sounded like an outlander. It was strange that David would want to have a Theo. Issac would probably frown at having pet outlanders too.
"I..uh...Sorry Jacobs I don't wanna be eatens so...I gots to go! Bye!" She sprinted away in fright hoping to get far away so the dragon wouldn't find her.

Jacob turned to watch the little girl run off, he opened his mouth to talk, but before he had the chance to say anything she was gone. He gave a quick glare at Rhett. What's his problem? "Well, whatever, I guess I'm out then too. Playing with you doesn't seem much fun." He turned to walk away.

Rhett watched the girl go. He still held himself in that same bored slouch as before, but his dark eyes were a stark contrast to the rest of his apathetic form. "Oops... 'Ya know, I hadn't meant to do that." But he shrugged. "Scare her, I mean. But I think I'm a lot of fun. Just, you know. People don't share my sense of... Everything?" He blinked as though shocked, but it wasn't anything new to him. Frankly, he had realized that he was different than everyone else like, since forever. Apparently done with Jacob after that, he turned to go on his own way as well. OOC: I guess that ends this thread.  |
