action!

[Who knew stopping in Tikal meant immediately getting roped into working? Yuri does get the all hands on deck idea, and fine, he'll help. He probably would have kept watch all by himself if he'd noticed they'd needed it, but he's still grumbling about it now.

By some trick of fate, he's ended up with Lloyd, out at one of the smaller gates. Despite the incense creeping in at the edge of the trees, there is absolutely nothing happening. Yuri sighs, adjusting his mask over his face.]

It'd be nice if something were trying to eat us.

[namestrees]

[Randomly conscripted into guard duty is like half of the Jaguar life. But hey, at least he's stuck out here in the gross humid outdoors with Yuri, who has always seemed like a super easy going guy. And so he can't help a laugh at that comment, breaking the dumb silence of boredom.]

Okay, but what would you want to have trying to eat you? [He's looking over, the hints of a grin visible in his eyes, even though his lower face is obscured with his own mask.]

Those plant-bears are kind of cool, I guess. Better than the giant chickens.

[abyssions]

Plant bears, sure.

[He sighs almost wistfully.]

I'd kill for a challenge. Something big and nasty.

[Do normal people talk this way? No. But here they are.]

[namestrees]

[Normal people absolutely don't talk this way. Who wants to be eaten by monsters, after all? Aside from vore enthusiasts, of course, who are free to live their best lives. Still, he's nodding with a grin.]

Alright, worse than the plant-bears. What's the biggest, nastiest thing you've seen here yet?

[--Oh, wait, uhhh, an addendum:] Other than the giant fire snake, I mean. I don't think that one counts.

[abyssions]

[Lloyd Gets It.]

Here? Not much. Nothing like back home.

[He's been spared the worst of it, apparently.]

Maybe I should go on a hike and hunt something down.

[namestrees]

You must have some pretty wild stuff back home.

[Look, sometimes you just wanna grind EXP and the measly monsters near town aren't cutting it. He does look thoughtful at that for a second. Because... man, hunting something down seems so much more fun that standing here. Or, well, sitting on the grass and leaning against the wall. Whichever. But also the gate needs protecting.

....But also there's nothing to protect the gate from.]

I mean, hunting something would probably be doing more for the town than just sitting here... [Yeah, that's a good excuse. Solid. He nods, and shoves himself up from off the ground.] You want any help?
