[IN PROGRESS] Hazard's Fishing Trip

[Pichi2214]

Since Timothy doesn't seem bothered by him he nods as well. "I'm also ready."

[seppawku]

“Ready!”

[skinstealer]

"Alrighty!" Hazard clambers up a different tree branch near Trice, making sure the branch could support her weight. "Hope you don't mind if I sit- I've got a good feeling about this spot!"

[skinstealer]

"Oh, while we're fishing...I hope it isn't weird, but I kind of need some advice."

[RibbonCharm]

Timothy can't help but scoot a bit closer to Markus, affirming that he doesn't mind him being near. "What kind of advice do you need, Hazard?"

[cosmo]

Shock turns their head to face Hzard, though their body still pointed towards the water.

[skinstealer]

"It's just...I live in a pretty big housing project, they took in dozens of new TCPs from the lab, but this new neighbor of mine- well, I guess she isn't new by now...anyway, the point is that she's a little, uh. Scary. And I don't know what to do about it or if I should report it, or if anyone would even listen."

[cosmo]

Shock thinks for a moment. “People often think I am scary. Cranberry too. But we are just big. Is she big, or scary?”

[skinstealer]

"I mean, people say the same thing about me, seeing as I'm so big. She is a body type, but I'd never judge her based on that, obviously. No, her issue is that she goes on about, like...hunting people."

[cosmo]

“Give her better snacks. You make good snacks. She won’t want to hunt anymore?”

[skinstealer]

"I don't think it's about being hungry for her, at least not all of it. She talks a lot about how she likes the chase, or to see people scared." She couldn't help but shiver.

[cosmo]

“Oh. A bully.” Their chelicerae twitch slightly. “I don’t like bullies. Don’t give her snacks, please.”

[skinstealer]

"Trust me, I don't plan on it. She keeps stealing from my garden!"

[seppawku]

"Can whoever runs your housing help if you tell them..? It's scary mentioning things like that, but if you might be in danger.." Trice turns to watch Hazard rather than her lure.

[cosmo]

“I don’t know then. But definitely no snacks for bullies.” They turn back to their fishing.

[RibbonCharm]

If Timothy had a visible mouth, he'd be frowning. "I've met some cats that can be described as...gruff, but I've never met one that just outright bullies others. I know we all came from the same place, but maybe something happened to her that's making her act that way?" He doesn't want to assume the worst about someone he's just met.

[Pichi2214]

Markus looks at Timothy as he moves closer, nodding at him as a silent thank you.
He listens to the conversation worriedly and slowly curls his neck up a bit, keeping all his limbs a little closer to himself. "She sounds unpleasent..." He sounds genuinely worried, even slightly frightened as he turns his head to Hazard. "Stay safe please, okay...?"

[skinstealer]

"Trust me, I'm not going to be taking any unnecessary risks-" Suddenly, there's a pull on Shock's line!

[cosmo]

Shock grips the dock with their feet and quickly duck their head and paws under the dock, attempting to grab the fish from underwater.

[skinstealer]

The fish Shock grabs is absolutely massive compared to the last catches, and...seems to be smiling?

Shock has caught a Dipper!

"Holy shit, nice catch!"
