exeggutorhead | 26th Transformation [video/action for travelmates

[This 'Gear feet is a video, but it's so dark you wouldn't be able to tell. It's clearly an accident, so maybe it's just that the device is in Envy's coat pocket. Or it could just be that dark where he is. Either way, viewers will be able to hear the sounds of scuffling and Envy exclaiming quietly.]

--quit stepping on my feet!

Oh, that was you. Sorry, I thought it was some rope! [This voice is low and seems genuinely apologetic, and some might recognize it as belonging to Miguel.]

[Someone else speaks up now, voice hissing. This one is easily recognizable as Tulio.] Be quiet!

What're you so worried about, nobody's going to hear us.

Well they will if you keep up with all that-- that cacaphony.

Sshh sshh sshh! I hear something!

[All three of them go quiet now, so anyone listening to this feed will now be able to hear the sound of…waves? It sounds like these three are on a boat. There's also the sound of creaking footsteps walking by wherever they are, and it's not until a minute or two after the footsteps passed by that they finally exhale.]

I hate boats.

[There's a few moment's pause.]

…how long will this trip be?

…a few days, I think.

Oh, great.

We have to hide in here for days?

At least it's not a month…

[There's some more sounds of shifting before the 'Gear feed gets knocked off again.]

[ooc: Green for Envy, red for Miguel, and blue for Tulio! As this is a joint post, all three of them will be replying to tags.]

A month? When were you hiding on a boat for a month?

[Because that's sure what that grumbling sounded like to him, Tulio.]

_{[...y-yeah that's because it WAS. Or maybe more. He really has no idea. But he's pretty sure it was a month.]

[So he waves it off, even though it probably can't be seen (and he might have accidentally nudged someone with that, sorry).]}

Before we got here. Except that time we were caught, and I reeaaally don't want that to happen again, so keep your voice down, can you do that?

You don't think they'd... really do that if they caught us? Here? I mean, everyone seems nicer here.

_{I haven't seen a single gallow or pillory...

[He says this in a more hushed voice, the last part is barely more than a whisper, but the worry doesn't go by unnoticed.]}

Yeah, yeah, I can--

[He cuts off his snappish response at what Miguel says. Because not getting caught is obvious, but that addition sounds...unpleasant.]

What are you talking about?

_{[He leans against Miguel slightly. What he says is aimed to him, really, because he also remembers those goddamn punishments.]

... I don't know, but I really don't feel like risking it.

[And oh hi Envy did you say anything?]}

What does it sound like?

Well, uhm _{[oh man what say]}

We have bad experiences regarding getting caught.

[Envy isn't sure, but he has some idea. He was alive back then, after all.]

...well, you obviously weren't hanged. [That one's directed at Tulio. Envy's on edge about this situation too, but for different reasons.]

Whatever it was, I doubt they'll do anything like it here.

_{[He rolls his eyes.]}

Maybe I was. Since you're a monster, why can't I be dead?

_{[...he sort of regrets saying that though and clears his throat to try to ease it.]}

Uh ... you know, hey, you wouldn't trust boats either if you were locked up in one for a month.

_{[Miguel's just gonna give Tulio a 'why would you even say that'-look, which probably goes by unnoticed in this darkness.]}

We were caught as stowaways and locked up on this boat and flogged whenever the crew had nothing better to do.

_{[Said quickly.]}

[Yeah, Tulio gets a sullen glare for that comment, probably not visible in the dark, but doesn't say anything even though he's very tempted to snap back.]

[Mainly because of what Miguel just told him about, honestly. He's quiet for a few long moments more, because what do you even say to that?]

I don't think that'd happen here, even if we did get caught. [This time when he says it, his tone is more of that awkward half-reassurance he does instead of defiant.]
