Paralogue 7: All Buns go to Heaven/Supports

* **Joos**: What do you mean?

* **Jayde**: Tell me a bit about yourself, dearest daddy.

* **Joos**: Why? Shouldn't you already know about me? I think it's you who should be telling me about yourself.

* **Jayde**: Yeah, well, I don't remember you.

* **Joos**: Why not? You know everything about your mother. Her favorite food....

* **Jayde**: Chicken! But not just any chicken. Chicken specially made using a down-home recipe straight from The Domain.

* **Joos**: Her allergies...

* **Jayde**: Shellfish, coconut and guava. There's probably more.

* **Joos**: Her birthday...

* **Jayde**: April 7th.

* **Joos**: And even her favorite word.

* **Jayde**: Fuck!

* **Joos**: So why don't you remember anything about me?

* **Jayde**: Well...you died. When I was very little. Either that or before I was even born.

* **Joos**: ...Oh. That makes sense. I'm sorry, I didn't know.

* **Jayde**: That's okay! I did come back to save you after all, right? So please let me get to know the father I never had.

* **Joos**: Alright. Let's play chess and I'll tell you about myself during the game.

* **Jayde**: ...I don't know how to play chess.

* **Joos**: Er...okay, we'll find a different way to bond. Promise.

* **Jayde**: Yay!

## Jayde and Signele

### C Support

* **Jayde**: Mom, I’ve got a question for you.

* **Signele**: Do you now?

* **Jayde**: Yeah. It’s about how you got someone to like you.

* **Signele**: …Excuse me?

* **Jayde**: I’m just saying, from experience, that the giant rabbit thing is a HUGE turn-off. Guys run from me when I approach them.

* **Signele**: I’ve never had a problem with that sort of thing.

* **Jayde**: How haven’t you? Don’t people see the ears and scream?

* **Signele**: Uh, no?

* **Jayde**: They don’t tremble in their boots?

* **Signele**: Not normally, no.

* **Jayde**: Wow. My own mother can get guys to approach her, and she neglected to pass that down with the scary bunny attributes.

* **Signele**: Why does it matter? I don’t think I like you talking like this.

* **Jayde**: It matters because—hey no what are you doing? That’s my foot! My lucky foot!

* **Signele**: I’m tickling you. That’s what little humans like, so maybe little bunnies like it too.

* **Jayde**: Has it even crossed your mind that I’m a grown bunny, not a little one? Let go of me! I have grown-up problems, not ones that can be solved through tickling!

## Joanne and Grace

### C Support

* **Joanne**: Hey Grace, can you help me out?

* **Grace**: What do you need? You don't look injured.

* **Joanne**: Nah, I'm not hurt.

* **Grace**: So what do you need help with? I'm not good for much else, unless you want to use my axe to cut firewood.

* **Joanne**: Ha ha, nah. I just need help keeping my mind off of things.

* **Grace**: Sounds like you need a friend.

* **Joanne**: Yeah, sounds about right. Everyone else seemed busy, so I came to you.

* **Grace**: Well, I was actually just about to get to the sick tent to help some people with their illnesses.

* **Joanne**: Oh...Okay, I guess I'll leave.

* **Grace**: No, no. I prescribed you a friend and you can't ignore doctor's orders. Why don't you come with me? Maybe I can show you some of the ropes of being a healer.

* **Joanne**: You would do that?

* **Grace**: Of course! Let's go take a look at some sick people.

* **Joanne**: Okay! Thanks so much.

## Jimmy and Taylor

### C Support

* **Taylor**: Wow, Jimmy, you're so good at horseback riding. How long have you been doing this?

* **Jimmy**: Huh? Oh, a...while. I honestly don't remember.

* **Taylor**: Oh, so it's like with me then! I've been riding, er, trying to for as long as I can remember. So how did you get so good while I got so bad?

* **Jimmy**: I dunno.

* **Taylor**: Well, would it be too much if I asked for lessons?

* **Jimmy**: Not at all. I think I can find the time to teach you a few things.

* **Taylor**: I know I probably won't get any better, but it's worth a shot, right?

* **Jimmy**: Don't think like that. It's never too late to get good at something! Just because you're not good yet doesn't mean it's too late.

* **Taylor**: You mean it?

* **Jimmy**: Absolutely. Let's get started right away.

## Sam and Julius

### C Support

* **Julius**: Yo, Sam!

* **Sam**: Yo there yourself, Julius.

* **Julius**: I was just wondering where I should be for the next battle. I've been hanging back with Kate a while and, while I do appreciate the time together, I was wondering if maybe I could be closer to the front lines next time.

* **Sam**: Huh? Um, are you sure about that? Dancers are sort of frail.

* **Julius**: Geeze, thanks for your confidence in me. I've gotten a lot of training in! I can handle myself all on my own.

* **Sam**: You wanna prove it?

* **Julius**: Uh, how?

* **Sam**: Sparring. Let's do it.

* **Julius**: Oh, right. Obviously. Let's do this!

...

* **Julius**: Oof, ouch. That hurt like a bitch. You're really fucking good, Sam.

* **Sam**: I think we should be talking about you! You held your ground really well! I'm impressed. You should definitely be on the front lines next time.

* **Julius**: Really?

* **Sam**: Absolutely. Go get 'em, tiger.

## Maggie and Pika

### C Support

* **Pika**: Whoa!

* **Maggie**: Ack! Don’t startle me like that, you’ll ruin artistic talent!

* **Pika**: Sorry, I was expecting you to be in here reading something, but to be drawing? That’s so cool!

* **Maggie**: Thanks, I think. I’ve only had a thousand or so years to perfect my craft.

* **Pika**: Well, you’re really good at it. Wish I was that good.

* **Maggie**: You draw too?

* **Pika**: Sometimes.

* **Maggie**: Why don’t you show me?

* **Pika**: Because it’ll look terrible next to your work.

* **Maggie**: I’ve had a THOUSAND years to get good at this.

* **Pika**: …one of the eyes is still lopsided.

* **Maggie**: See? Even masters at their craft make mistakes.

* **Pika**: Disregarding that one mistake, everything else about…her? Him? Them? Whatever, everything else is still perfect!

* **Maggie**: And I’m sure your pictures are perfect too! C’mon, let’s both draw something and see how it goes. Sound like a plan?

* **Pika**: I guess it does.

## Kate and Florence

### C Support

* **Florence**: \*yawn\* God, I'm tired. I should just go to sleep, but why not try to strike up conversation?

* **Kate**: Hey Flo. You look beat.

* **Florence**: ...Hey Kate!

* **Kate**: Er, yeah?

* **Florence**: Hey, hey Kate. Does it ever get like, really hot in your armor? It's kind of a big-ass suit.

* **Kate**: I, uh, guess you have a point. I mean, not recently it doesn't, since we haven't been in Tost.

* **Florence**: (Sooo tired... Not even sure if I can even listen any...longer...zzzzz)

* **Kate**: When we're in Tost, it gets so damn hot that sometimes I have to sit in my tent with all my armor off! I don't usually not wear it, so it might as well be as if I was naked. I guess that's an insecurity thing...

* **Florence**: zzzzzz

* **Kate**: Uh, Flo? Did...Did I kill the conversation? Man, I hate when that happens.

## Bohl and Josh

### B Support

* **Bohl**: Father, I am...in need of assistance.

* **Josh**: What's wrong? I do appreciate your normal tone though.

* **Bohl**: I think I have a problem.

* **Josh**: What is it?

* **Bohl**: I've asked the healers and they can't help. Gods, talking normal is hard. But uh, I think you might be the only other one to help me.

* **Josh**: Just pace yourself. What appears to be the problem, my son?

* **Bohl**: I...you know the voices, the different accents I assume?

* **Josh**: The obnoxious ones, yes.

* **Bohl**: Right... well, whenever they come out, I feel different. Like a different person.

* **Josh**: Alright...and the matter of import here is...?

* **Bohl**: I'm getting to it. See, whenever I switch voices, I feel like a different person and sometimes...sometimes I don't feel like Bohl fits me anymore? I think something's wrong.

* **Josh**: I see... it seems you may be showing symptoms of the ever rare Multiple Personality Disorder.

* **Bohl**: Oh no. I don't want to be a lot of Bohls. I just want to be one Bohl!

* **Josh**: Bohl, you are certainly one of the most unique individuals I've ever met. And I think this is all to set you apart even further.

* **Bohl**: I don't want to be set apart. I want to be normal.

* **Josh**: It's quite alright. Nobody thinks any less of you just because there are more people inhabiting your cranium. How they all fit in there truly is a mystery. But it's quite alright. Nobody will judge you.

* **Bohl**: You think so?

* **Josh**: Just so long as you keep them all at a fair distance at all times. That should work flawlessly.

* **Bohl**: ...Right. I'll...go now.

* **Josh**: Did I say something wrong...?

## Chase and Green

### A Support

* **Green**: What's wrong Minerva? You seem irked. Is someone nearby? Should we get ready to fight...?

* **Chase**: Oof!

* **Green**: WHOA! Oh, so you're who Min—my wyvern was going on about. What are you doing here? And what were you doing in that tree...?

* **Chase**: I was trying to capture a bug. It managed to sneak up there and camouflage itself. I was trying to find it when your wyvern bumped into the tree. Then I fell.

* **Green**: Ah, I see.

* **Chase**: So, uh, Minerva huh?

* **Green**: Er, yeah...

* **Chase**: Good name.

* **Green**: Yeah, sure.

* **Chase**: Do you...not like me knowing her name?

* **Green**: Eh...

* **Chase**: What's the big deal? It's just a name.

* **Green**: Yeah, um, well...I just don't know whether anybody here will make fun of me for that or not.

* **Chase**: Oh, right. Well in my experience, the Shepherds seem to be pretty judgement-free. Surely you giving your female wyvern a female name won't make anybody make fun of you. And if it does, we can beat 'em up together.

* **Green**: Heh, you're right! We can totally do that! Thanks Chase.

* **Chase**: No problem! Everyone should be comfortable around the people they choose to surround themselves with.

* **Green**: That's a good point.

* **Chase**: So uh...can I ride Minerva?

* **Green**: What?

* **Chase**: I want to be her friend. So can I ride her?

* **Green**: ...You know what? Let's do it.

* **Chase**: Aw, yeah!!

## Maggie and Sarah

### S Support

* **Sarah**: Why am I not surprised to see you out here?

* **Maggie**: Because I spend a lot of time here? It’s kind of what I do?

* **Sarah**: You were visiting someone again, weren’t you?

* **Maggie**: You got me. But how could I resist? She’s so much fun to talk to!

* **Sarah**: But you can’t talk to her unless you’re being your dragon self.

* **Maggie**: No one said I wasn’t.

* **Sarah**: Oh, so I missed seeing it?

* **Maggie**: I can always do it again, I guess. Should have figured you’d be jealous about that. Your wyvern has told me so much about how you tell her how beautiful I look.

* **Sarah**: You have scales, can fly, and are super badass. I can’t lie about how much I like that.

* **Maggie**: I think you more than like it, don’t you?

* **Sarah**: W-what? No!

* **Maggie**: I can see it in your face. This isn’t the first time someone’s tried to tell me that they, as a dragon rider, would love to ride this dragon. And I accept!

* **Sarah**: You…accept?

* **Maggie**: Yeah! Me and your wyvern had a talk. If there’s ever a time you want to charge into battle on MY back instead of hers, she’s okay with it! She thinks it would build a friendship between us faster than just fighting next to each other would.

* **Sarah**: Oh. Phew. For a second I thought you were—

* **Maggie**: And I told her that I don’t think it would be friendship we’d be building.

* **Sarah**: —you did what.

* **Maggie**: I think you really like me. Not dragon me. The whole package.

* **Sarah**: And what if I do?

* **Maggie**: Then it’s mutual. You’re cool, I’m cool, together, we’re the perfect pair!

* **Sarah**: Minus the part where you’ve been doing this for thousands of years.

* **Maggie**: It hasn’t even been two thousand years! And even still, I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. It’s like…I could just be with you forever.

* **Sarah**: Your forever’s a lot different than mine.

* **Maggie**: I’m sure I’ll manage. Now how about we make this official somehow?

* **Sarah**: …By letting me ride you into the skies?

* **Maggie**: I am so there.
